Tales of Cities.

In Honan city, distant only two days by rail from Peking, lump silver, the same cumbrous currency that has been used for centuries, i% still employed. Spokane has put a coating of oil on ten miles of streets and is congratulating itself, on the prospect of freedom from dust and the increased attractiveness of the city as a place for homes. No business whatever can now be done on Sundays in the Mexican city of Mazatlan. Heretofore all places of business have been open from 8 till 12 on Sundays, allowing only onehalf holiday to employees in the whole week.
