ONCE Happy CHINA.
A Chinese Scholar In Paris Takes a Gloomy
View of Modern Civilization.

View of Modern Civilization.
"You wish to know said he, "the
opinion Of our philosophers and sages
in regard to the effect of the war just
ended upon the condition of the Chi
nese. Well, will give it to you. 1 put
aside all the humiliations of defeat and
place myself upon more solid ground.
The war has robbed us forever of our
tranquility and our happiness. We were
happy and led simple lives; but, by
bringing to us what you may call the
benefits of civilization, the japanese
will destroy our traditions and our he
reditary virtues, confuse our customs and
mode of living and make us like them
selves, ambitious, restless and eager for
conquests And what will we gain by
that?
"You fancy that the Chinese are ig-
norant, poor and wretched, but you
must remember that happiness exists in
the idea that one forms Of it. In other
words, man is happy when he believes
himself happy, when he confines his de-
sires to the few joys which are within
his reach. The peasant who eats his rice
at the close of his days work is salts
fed with his fate, provided he keeps his
eyes away from the riches of others and
closes his heart against covetousness.
The evil sentiments of envy, jealousy
and social hatred have never yet pene-
trated our population. assure you that
you wrong the poor Chinese. They are
gentle, mild, good humored, honest,
scrupulous, loyal, sympathetic and char
table
"You may have read the account of
certain cruelties and barbarities, but
they belong to the laws of war, which
are equally barbarous in all countries.
In condition of peace, when their quie-
tude is not disturbed, the Chinese are of
marvellous benignity, which is only
equaled by the gentleness Of their wives.
I fancy that know the Partisan ladies,
but do not hesitate to say that the
Chinese women are superior to them.
In the first place, our ladies have little
feet.
''They are good natured and devoid
of all coquetry. They have a deep SEN
timent Of modesty, and their existence
passes along without disputes and with
out quarrels The woman who makes
scenes is unknown in our favored eli

the dresses their lords and masters give

The Psoans of Eowdyism.

have just been wading through sew
eral printed collections of music hall
songs and find it impossible to convey,
without pages of quotation, any ade-
quate idea of the rank imbecility that
characteriZes them, almost without ex-
ception. 1t would perhaps be unfair to
dwell ON their metrical deficiencies.
There seems to be no reason why verses
for music should not be written in
meter. But the rhymers may retort that
there is no reason why they should.
What is most striking is the utter pow
erty and monotony of their topics, the
sordidness Of their view of life, the
baseness of their ideals, the insincerity
OF their enthusiasm, the total absence
OF healthy passion or indignation and
even Of genuine, enforced gayety or
sentiment. The humor is that of the
mock valentine, their pathos that of the
pavement artist.
They pass from praises of debauchery
and pRans Of rowdyism to grimy carl
catures Of the sordidness of lower mid
die class life, inapt jocosities on lovo
and marriage, birth and death and pat
emily insincere criticisms on public

The Stairs an Afterthought.

The old story about building house
and forgetting the staircase, which has
probably been worked off at the expense
OF every young architect who has been
born since staircases were invented, was
actually realized in the case Of Montagu
House, which the late dowager Duchess
Of Buccleuch made famous by her Ell
tertainments. When the house was near
ly finished, it was discovered that no
means Of reaching the upper floors had
been provided, and the grand staircase
which had to be added considerably
marred the arrangements Of the man.
