SOME CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
So Many and Varying Classes 1t Is
Difficult to Know All.

Rev. Arthur Smiths Book.
Just when you think you have learned
to know the Chinaman" says a mission
sary to modify half of what you have
learned and discard the other half" One
of their characteristics that almost ex-
plains all others is their belief in them
selves. Like the character in Richter's
novel, if Chinaman knew anything about
it ran through his own skull. He believes
in his province simply because he lives
in it, but he has no interest even in China

cog in one of many wheels. Chinese
family is like hill of potatoes; one can
by which all are brought to view In
China, private houses are surrounded by
the street. Nevertheless, there is no DO
nestle privacy in China. No one thinks
Of Directing to the entrance OF d PERCY Td
close the door would provke the inquiry:
What is going on within shat they are
afraid to have every one see and hear?"
And from that moment the social doom
of that family would be sealed. The occi-
dental question to an intruder would be,
METAL reply would be, What business have
you to keep me out?" The Chinese adage
covering this matter is, II you would not
haye it known that you 90 IT, 90 not 90
Economy is one of the greatest virtues in
China, though the Chinese do not reckon IL
so much virtue as an ordinance or nature
Dogs and cats live on the most vile refuse;
and yet when they die they are eaten with
gusto. Even poisoned animals are eaten
with entire disregard of the consequences.
The same economy is shown In the gathering
of fuel Not a weed is left in the fields.
Bows beat off the autunnal leaves with
clubs, as If they were chestnuts. and even
straws are scarcely allowed leisure to show
which way the wind blows. When a China
man presents complimentary inscription TO
a friend, he pastes it on silk backing. In
stead of gIuing it, so that his friend may re-
move the inscription and use the silk. In
many parts of China the children wear no
clothes for many months in the year;
wheels are never creased. and the majority
of the people never wash do you wash
your child every day." a Chinese mother
was asked. Wash him every day. was the
Indignant response: "he was never washed
since ne was born" A soap dealer who
should open an agency In China would lose
money One difficulty. however, in descr1b-
ing Chinese characteristics is the fact that
there are many races and families OF peo-
nIes ali of which are loosely known as Chi
fese. and each OF which has its own distinc-
tive characteristics.

no life. No one sings, no one Dances no
one laughs in Jerusalem; even the chill
dren do not play.
The Jews, it is SAID form almost two
thirds of the population of the city. They
occupy section which covers the great
er part of the eastward slope of Zion,
and the Jewish quarter is the most
wretched in the whole wretched town.
Its inhabitants are quiet and subdued in
bearing; they make no claims to their
hereditary rights in the Royal City of
their kings; they simply and silently and
patiently wait. The Wailing Wall of the
Jews, so wonderfully painted by Verest-
chagin, is, perhaps, the most realistic
sight in Jerusalem to-day. In a small,
paved oblong, unroofed Enclosure, some
seventy-6ve by twenty feet in extent,
and in a most inaccessible portion of the
town, is the mass of ancient masonry
which is generally accepted as having
been a portion of the outside of the ac-
tual wall of the Temple itself. Against
these rough stones. every day of the
week, but especially on Friday, and at
all times of the day, are seen Hebrews
of all countries, and of all ages, of both
sexes, rich and poor alike, weeping and
bewailing the desolation which has come
upon them, and upon the city of their
former glory. Whatever may be their
faith, 1T is beautiful and sincere, and
their grief is actual and without dissim-
ulation. They kiss the walls, and beat
their breasts, ana tear lnelr nalr ana
rend their garments; and the real tears
they shed come from their hearts and
their souls, as well as from their eyes.
They ask for no bacl1sheesh; they pay
no attention to the curious and inquisi-
tive heretics and Gentiles who pity while
they wonder at them. They read the
lamentations of jeremiah and the
mournful words Of Isaiah; they wall for
the days that are gone, and they pray
to the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac and the God of Jacob that they
may get their own again.

The Rising Generation Suffers Lit
erary Loss by Reason of 1t.
Charles w. Warner, in Harper's.
Take this matter of ignorance of the
Bible Recent statistics show that it ex-
lists, to an extent inconceivable to any
person generation ago, in college stu
dents And this ignorance is disclosed
not in attempted religious instruction,
but in the study of the ordinary
branches of literary education in our
universities and colleges. The pupils are
entirely unable to understand a great
mass of illusions in the masterpieces of
English poetry and prose. Some of these
pupils are victims of the idea that the
Bible should not be read by the young,
for fear that they will be prejudiced in
a religious way before their minds are
mature enough to select religion for
themselves. Now, wholly apart from its
religious or from its ethical value, the
Bible is the one book that no intelligent
person who wishes to come into contact
with the world of thought and to share
the ideas of the great minds of the
Christian era can afford to he ignorant
Of All modern literature and all art are
permeated with it. There is scarcely
great work in the language that can be
fully understood and enjoyed without
this knowledge, so full is it of illusions
and illustrations from the Bible. This is
true of fiction. of poetry, of economic
and of philoSophic works, and also of the
scientific and even agnoStic treatiSeS. 1t
is not at all question Of religion, or
theology, or of dogma; it is question of
general Intelligence. A boy or girl at
college, in the presence of the works set
for either to- master. without a fair
knowledge of the Bible, is an ignoramus.

How this is to be overcome IN our ma

the use of the Bible in the public schools,

the estimation In which 1t is held in the

Publishers Who Pander to Taste

for Risky Literature.
Edward W. Box
I caught glimpse recently of the meth
DDS employed by these Western publishers.
Their purpose in business is as palpable as
it is pitiable. I happen to know young
girl in Chicago who is quite a fair amateur
mined to see if she could not make money
out of her art. Having seen an advertise
ment for a designer and artist, she brought
some samples of her work to the advertiser,
whom she found to be a publisher. What
the publisher wanted her to do was to
design a cover and illustrate a novel His

and he offered her the sheets of a new
highly pleased with her success. She was
less pleased when she read the novel. In
fact, she could not finish it. With some
misgivings she sketched the cover design.
with one two illustrations. These fin
ished, she RENTED them to the publisher.
He shook his head doubtfulay.

said ''What we want is pictures that-well,
drawn and colored so as towel, mean,
pictures that will attract men-you under
She did understand, and she FASTENED to
put prompt termination to the interview.
1t is in this spirit that many OF these books
seem to be written and iilustra ted-"to at
tract men, and yet one proprietor of a
book store told me not long ago that fully
20 per cent. more young women than young
men bought such books of him.
No book is too sacred for these vandalS to
defile-not even the BlpIe, as TINS little Incl
dent will demonstrate.
Not long ago an advertisement appeared

monthlics of the country. 1t was written
in an enticing manner, and described BOOK
of interesting stories The tone OF the
advertisement was unmistakable; it's I'm
plication was apparent to even the most
causual reader. 1t was skillfully worded, and
the inference was plainly left upon the
mind of the reader that the book adver-
tised must be very risque,, or even more
than that It's illustrations were also COM
mented upon. A man | know sent dollar
for the book and curiously awaited the re-
