ONCE HAPPY CHINA.
The Miserics That Civilization VIII
bring Upon II.

tDOn
The Republique Franchise publishes an
interview with Chinese scholar who
lives in Paris. and is the author OF a
volume on the Parisians.
You wish to know" said he 1.-THE
opinion Of our philosophers and sages In
regard TO the effect OF the war just ended
upon the condition OF the Chinese. Well.
/ will give It to you. l put aside all the
humiliatons 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 hereditary virtues, confuse our
customs and mode OF living. and make US
like themselves. ambitious. restless. and
eager for conquests And what will we
gain by that?
you fancy that the Chinese are igno-
rant. poor. and wretched. but you must
remember that happiness exists In the
idea that one forms Of II. In other words
a man Is happy when he believes himself
happy. when he confines his desires 10
the few joys which are within his reach.
The peasant who eats his rice at the
close of his days work Is satisfied 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 penetrated our
population. ! assure you that you wrong
the poor Chinese. They are gentle mild,
good humored. honest. scrupulous, loyal
sympathetic, and charitable.
You may have read the accounts OF
certain cruelties and barbarities. but they
belong to the laws OF war, which are
equally barbarous in all countries. In a
condition Of peace, when their quietude
Is not disturbed, the Chinese are OF mar
vellous benignity, which Is only equalled
by the gentleness OF their wives. | fancy
that | know the Partisan ladies'. but do
not hesitate to say that the Chinese wo-
men 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 sentiment
Of modesty, and their existence passes
along without disputes and without quar-
rels. The woman who makes scenes IS
unknown in our favored climate. Our
women are contented with the dresses
their lords and masters give them. and
they never run up bills with dressmakers
or modistes
Moreover. luXuries in China are no,
costly. 4 furnished house, with all the
modern Improvements. can be rented for
90 francs year For few cents a day
you can have the most sumputous din
ners.
The victory OF the Mikado means the
disappearance of our golden age. lie
has thrown down our walls. Now. the
walls OF China were symbolical: they
sheltered the country against the winds
from without, ! mean those winds tina,
bring with them pests and civil war"
