of public buildings

deafen one. Large men, with ample
ladles on their arms, may be seen in
every direction. Immense baskets are
being borne to the doors of their cus-
tomers by grocers, butchers and con-
fectioners. Immense suppers are to be
given tonight, and many happy returns
of the glorious Fourth will be drunk
In rivers of champagne. Everything
is on a large scale but the Chinese,

In the arms of San Francisco sleeps
Chinatown, the curious offspring of old
China, of which Americans think that
they know all that Is to bo known be-
cause they can visit the shops and go
Into all the strange plaees, and, if they
are In the humor, make themselves
ilck with an oplum-plpo among opium
smoking Chinamen.
Lin Ham is an ordinary dealer. He
keeps no shop. He executes orders for
the favored few. In each he puts a
surprise—an invention for the day. His

ored fire, moving on the water, appar-
ently by means of a stream of fire ct

"You fly It like any other kite," he ex-
plains. "When at its full length, you
begin to call: 'Come down, butterfly!'
A butterfly descends the cord and llles
away. 'Follow rose!' you say. A rose
glides down the string and drops to
ashes. 'Come down, pretty mouse!' you
call next. The mouse descends and
runs up your shoulder and Is gone.
Then you call for a blue bird, for a
white bird, for a red bird, for a yellow
bird, a green bird. Thus It might end
with the applause of the people. But
let me work upon this kite ten minutes
longer and add one trifle more, and
then there will be something else to see.
Then you may call aloud: 'Come to me

moment, he whom you wish to kill
must hold the cord, for that star brings
death As It touches the man's breast
life departs from him. Mark me well,
the other things that coine down the
cord are innocent as drops of dew
The star is fatal."
"I understand," replies Min Toko.
"Hasten with your work. Lin Ham."
A little later the old Chinese puts in-
"Here, you blue bird, come if you

the bride claps her little palms and
showers smiles about her, the birds of
all colors come down.
The green bird has arrived and dis-
appeared, when suddenly the bride puts
forth her hand playfully und snatches
the cord from the bridegroom's hand.
"You shan't have all the fun," she
says, with a pretty pout. "I intend to
call the star down myself. Ah, how the
cord pulls! No, you shan't touch it. I
will do it alone. What do you say, Min
Toko? 'Brightest star of heaven come

She beams on him and lifts her sweet,
shrill voice und calls aloud, aud far up

He throws about him a cloak that
covers his theatrical costume, and
carries the box downstairs, where a
carriage containing the parapher-
