cular letters of credit to travellers going
through the empire. There are big banks
who push Chinese patent medicines and
little ones who loan out sums which we
Americans would hardly think worth
while borrowing. There are trades IN Ons
of all sorts, and even the beggars club TO-
gether and are bound by the rules of their
union. Farmers combine together TO buy
cattle, peddlers buy and sell the custom of
particular streets TO their fellows, and

enough money from his friends 10 pay bis
last years debts. All firms here have to
settle up at the close of the year. and 1t Is
the greatest disgrace TO go into bank
ruptcy. Bankrupts often commit suicide,
and the son feels bound TO pay the fathers
debts. 1t is the same with other relatives.
The debts OF any member IF family are
a disgrace 10 the whole family, and rich
men having failed will go to work al the
mOSt mental occupations in order to pay
up. Big failures ere always punished by
law. Ii the amount is from $500 10 $1,000
the bankrupt is banlshed, and If 1t runs
above that amount his head Is taken of.
There is not much discussion about tile
matter and the law Is that the bankrupt
who becomes such from unavoidable cir
cumStances is decapitated just tine same
the fraudulent one. There are no law
yers and DO juries ana the Judges or Off
Gals OF the town pass the sentences.
Sometimes the bankrupts carry heavy
chains for weeks through the streets. Al

frequently they lose their heads. Ii, how
ever, the bankrupt can save enough out of
Judges and thus save his head. In many
cases the creditors forgive their customers

This prevents there ever being a great
panic in China. The actual standings of
the different merchants and business men
are known at least every twelve months,
and there is no chance for a man to con-
tinue long career of fraud and failure.
The pride which the Chinese take in
keeping up the reputation of their towns,
their business and their families is very
remarkable. / met at Canton one of the
richest men in China. His name was
