Tai-yuan-fu, the capital, at the end of the railway, is a famous place for pigs; but they have been hunted so persistently in recent years that few remain within less than two or three days' journey from the city. It was a three days' trip from the railroad to Ho-shun, and there was little of interest to distinguish the road from any other in north China.
How it is possible for human beings to exist in rooms so filled with coal gas is beyond my knowledge. Of course, death from gas poisoning is not unusual, but I suppose the natives have become somewhat immune to its effects. Our destination was a tiny village in the mountains about eight miles beyond Ho-shun, a city of considerable size in the very center of the province.
