Conversation at the table of Chinese
gentleman is on high plane. It is
literary rather than intellectual, rem
iniscent rather than original At times
it is dry, and even dull, but it is always
clean, choice and elegant. Their class
les abound in phrases such as "May
good digestion wait on appetite, and
health on both," ''Better is q dinner
of herbs with contentment than q
stalled OK with envy" and tho like,
which are produced at each and every
opportunity with great regularity. In
direct speech they employ the Socratic
method, and convey information or in.
fict satire in the form of questions A
few of this class might be taken to
heart by many of our fellow-citizens,
and especially such as these:
do European cooks ever consider
the physiological benefit or injury aris-
ing from foods?''
DO Americans eat solely to please
the palate, or do they regulate their
diet according to their temperament
and condition?'
"Why do Americans send mission.
aries to make us like themselves, when
they have more crime and criminals
than we have?''
why do your teachers, who seem in.
telligent beings denounce wine, which
is wholesome when rightfully used,
and drink ditch-water, which is dirty
and full of the germs of disease alwaye
more or less injurious?"
'Why do you Americans injure your
stomachs with ice-cold drinks, instead
of drinking hot tea, which is bene-
fcial?"
why do most American women
k ow nothing of housekeeping?"
''Why should we extend every cour-
tesy to you and permit you to make
fortunes here and carry them home
when you will not permit poor China
man even to cross your borders?"
''Why does the United States, the
richest country in the world, have the
poorest navy afoat?'

ENGLISH newspaper methods are
peculiar. About year ago the Lon

the error. The old woman actually
