Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Around the World So many books have been written, and descriptions given, of the scenery across the Rocky Mountains, that it is familiar to nearly every one, and even if it were not, only the pen of a Ruskin can do justice to it, so I will leave to the imagination of my readers this magnificent scenery. It requires six days to reach San Francisco from Toronto, and although the scenery is grand, the journey becomes rather wearisome. I was reminded of the story of an Englishman and American who were travelling together over the continent. The American said to the Englishman, . Well, what do you think of our country, anyway? The Englishman pondered for a time, and at last replied, Well, I think it is large. Remaining in San Francisco a week, it gave me an opportunity of studying the character and habits of the yellow-skinned strangers from the Flowery Kingdom. Accompanied by Officer Glennon, of the San Francisco Police Force, who is most gentlemanly and obliging, we started at 7.30 o clock to visit the Chinese quarter of the city, which commences at the corner of Jackson and Kearney Streets. There are about 35,000 or 40,000 Chinese in San Francisco, occupying an area that would be insufficient for 500 people of more cleanly habits. Chinamen will remain a race of washee-washees until they are made to understand sanitary laws, and I think it would be just as easy to make a jelly fish understand Greek. The first place visited was a Chinese barber shop. Now, I would like all gentlemen readers to disabuse their minds of any idea of a luxurious shave. Not being in the habit of frequenting barber shops, or tonsorial parlors, the situation was unique, and I glanced around rather fearfully at the array of knives, and spoons, or things which looked to me like spoons. There was a Chinese in the chair undergoing the operation, which I watched with interest. All hair is removed from the face, ears and nose - none left but the eyebrows.
