A MIRACLE, says a correspondent of the N. C. Daily News, has been wrought Tsingtao within the past few days, thanks to the new ordinance against creaking wheel. barrows. From time immemorial the Shan- jung one inan barrow has been equipped witle a wooden axle, and the result has been a can tinuous screech, delightful to the nerveless Chinese, but distracting to the ordinary forei gher, especially when a hundred or more bar Rappened to pass his window in the early hours. The new law requires all barrows within the port limits to adopt iron axley which are easily silenced by a little oil, This follows the analogy of the large two-man barbw, which is never permitted to creak, even by the Chinese.
