China Is the theatre of civil war
lin the south, as well as in the north.
An appalling famine prevails In the
province of Futhkeen-the starving
wretches have became bands of rob-
bers. A public paper has lately been
issued by the governor of Che keang
province. in which the English are
called 'fore2gn barbaridns''
The population of this immense en-
'pire according to the census of 1913.
was 3Gl ,67S, $40, besides ISS,326 fam
lies. In the provinces in which the
families are enumerated, no census
was taken of individuals.
The following is description of the
people of the SOUTHERN provinces in
which the new rebellion has broken
out. 1t is an account given more than
a century ago by one of the Jesuit mis-
Isionarie5, and as Chinese customs are
inveterate, they doubtless continue to
the present day:
''ln that part of iiu-quang next to
the province of Quang-tong and that
ofQuans-si depending en- lung chew

They put on their heads piece of
light board above foot long and five
or SIX inches broad. which they cover
with their hair, fastening with wax. 50
that they seem to have hats of bar.

Obliged to turn their heads continually
to the right and left on the road, which
IN this country are full Of woods and
tbickets.
/ THE difficulty is still greater when
they would comb their hair, for they
must be whole hours at the fire to melt
the wax: which trouble they are al
three or four times wear. for they
fall to dressing it up again as it was
! before.
j "The Mvan-tse thinks his dress very
