HOTEL LIFE IN CHINA.
Inns where the Diamond-Flashing
Clerk Never Appsars.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Hotels in China are quite uniform ar
chitecturally. They never differ in point
of cleanliness and other details, but they
are almost invariably built in the form of
a quadrangle inclosing a court. The
building is only one story high. In front
of the quadrangle is space wide enough
for wheeled vehicles to drive in. The
front part of the structure is occupied by
the kitchen and the restaurant, if there is
any.
Along the sides of the quadrangle are
many small rooms. At the further end is
the swell apartment, intended to be occu
pied by guests of means and distinction.
This apartment consists invariably of
three rooms, a sitting room in the middle
and a bedroom on each side. There is no
hotel dork with a scintillating diamond
in his shirt front, the innkeeper fulfilling
that capacity incidentally to his other du
ties. There are three classes of hotels in
China. To begin with, there are the busi
ness inns, frequented by commercial
travelers, as one might say. They bear a
certain sort of analogy to the hostelries
in our own country, where agents with
gripsacks full of merchandise find accom
modation.
To these inns traders go for the pur
pose of showing and disposing of thoir
wares. In all of the large cities there are
provincial inns, each of which is kept up
for the accommodation of people from a
particular province, ns Canton or Szech
uan, receiving only guests who come from
that province. These hotels do a consid
erable postal business, transmitting let
ters through the hands of the people who
enjoy their hospitality. The latter are
not legally responsible for safe delivery
of such mail, but it is nevertheless con
veyed to the intended recipients with the
utmost regularity. In this manner let
ters are sent all the way from Peking to
the border of Bnrmali. the journey requir
ing four or five months.
In addition to the kinds of inns I have
described there are official hotels, where
high officials stop on their yay through
the country. These establishments do
not receive tradespeople. The traveling
official often takes the whole hostelry for
the accommodation of himself and his re
tainers. He occupies the swell apart
ments in the rear, while they ari quar
tered in the little rooms along the sides of
the quadrangle. If he is a very elevated
personage indeed ho is likely to scorn the
inn, preferring to hire a tomple. Such
religious edifices ordinarily have
rooms attached to them, in which
comfortable accommodation may be
found. An essential idea of the Buddhist
doctrine is hospitality to travelers. Some
of the most ancient inscriptions which
have been discovered in India were made
by a native sovereign, who in them con-"
veys instruction as to how to provide for
wayfarers, telling what medicines to give
them, and even giving directions as to the
planting of trees along roads for the pur
)H)se of affording them shade. In Mon
golia there are no inns. But monasteries
are numerous, and they will always ac
commodate a stranger.
Wichita Falls, Texas, March 11th, 1893.
Proprietors P. P. P. Cos., Savarnah. Ga.:
It becomes my duty to add my testimonial
to the wonderful curative properties of the P.
P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potas
sium). Some years ago I bruized my anklo
on my saddle stirrup. From a little scratch
the place l,egau to enlarge until it was as
large as the palm of my hand, discharging
pus, exposing part of the bone. I called to
see physiiiane and they pronounced it as a
fever sore and Incurable. It became so pain
ful and swollen so badly that I tried bandage
for relief until 1 secured a rubber supporter.
After securing the rubber support-r for temp
orary relief I began to use internal remedies,
trying several different kinds without any ap
parent relief. I resolved to trv P. P } ’
which I did. After using one bottle the result
was such I continued until the s'xth bottle
was used, when my rubber supporter was not
further required, as the sore was completely
healed and swelling entirely gone. 1 there
fore take pleasure* in saying to the public
geimrally that it is my belief from actual ex
perience that the use of P. P. P.. if properly
persisted In, will cure any case of impure
biood or blood poisoning. Respectfully,
PliOF. B. F. Hicket,
Postmaster Wichita Falls, Texas.
I. the undersigned, knew Prof. Hickey at
the time he commenced to take I*. I'. P. for
his sore leg, and I did not chink a cure possi
ble. 1 noticed its progress from the start, and
must say the remarkable cure P. P P.
brought abDut was something marvelous.
