Excerpt from Great Names Nations: A First Book in Ancient History

You would smile if I should ask you how you can tell a Chinaman. We are so well acquainted with his queer shoes, his loose blouse, and pigtail that we know him at once. His slanting eyes, yel low skin, and broad face tell us that he belongs to the Yellow race, whose home is in f ar-away Asia on the opposite side of the earth.

If we take the fastest train from New York we may reach San Francisco in about six days. Here we may get on board a great steamship, and after a voyage of fifteen days on the broad Pacific we reach Shang-hai, the New York of China.
