LIPS OPPOSITION TO WAR.
China's Greatest General IL Pre-eminently
. Man Of Peace.

China's Greatest General Is Pre-eminently
Man Of Peace.
Secretary John W. Foster contributes
sketch OF The viceroy Ii Hung Chang"
to The Century. Mr.. Foster says:
Although the greatest general his coun-
try has produced in this century, he is pre-
eminently man of peace Confucius,
whose disciple he is proud to call himself,
taught the folly of war, and the practice of
the government and Chinese society in this
respect is inspired by his teachings While
Japan has exalted tho warlike spirit, and
there the soldier is the idol of the people,
in China the soldier is lightly esteemed
and always takes rank below the literary
class. But Notwithstanding this peaceful
spirit, there is often war party in China,
and on two or three memorable occasions
it has fallen to the lot of the Viceroy Ii to
be placed in antagonism to 1t.
The Kuldja question, about 1880,
brought the country to tho brink Of war
with Russia, and it was only by his most
active resistance to the war party at Peking
that q peaceful settlement was reached. 1t
is now we'll known that he opposed the
late hostilities with japan. The govern
nlent Of the latter during the progress Of
the war obtained possession of and pub
Gshed certain memorials to the throne,
dated in 1882, and forwarded by the vice
roy, which looked to the ultimate invasion
of Japan; but at best it was merely an in
choate scheme and probably encouraged by
the viceroy to aid his projects for the de-
fense of the approaches to Peking. He had
a better knowledge of the military strength
Of Japan and of the weakness of China than
any other Of the emperor's advisers, and
he feared the consequences to his country
of O conflict.

A Great Painter.

Munkacsy, the great painter, is a man
Of keen wit. Some time ago connoisseur,
whose passion for getting things cheap
equals his love of art, called on the painter
and asked to purchase some Of his works
at q reduced price. The painter was at
first indignant and then amused. "By all
means" said Munkacsy. II can tell you

from my brush at very low figure If you

and outhouses there which painted when

The connoisscur rejoined that he wanted
to purchase Munkacsys pictures, and the
great artist turned on him in a perfect
frenzy Of rage and drove him out of his
studio. Munkacsy never forgets, nor is
afraid to mention, his lowly beginnings.
Now one Of the greatest Of living artists,
he recalls with pride that at one time he
painted outhouses signposts and walls,
gradually, by dint of sheer genius, rising

BICYCLE CoASTING DANGEROUS.
Advice to Riders Who Arc Apt 70 BE
Overventuresomo.

AovlOo 20 Riders VINO Arc APT 60 lie
Overventuresomo.
There is encouragement in pointing out
the risks Of coasting on the BICYCLE because
many have already realized the danger and
refrain from the practice Those who ride
the wheel we'll know what a temptation it
Is to take their feet from the pedals when
they come to long hill and run swiftly
down without any effort on their part. The
danger lies in not being able to get the feet
back on the pedals again when the ma
chino Is moving rapidly, in case it be-
comes necessary to do SO. No bicycle Can
be controlled unless the feet are on the
pedals.
A number Of unexpected events arc H.
able to occur to rider, and especially
when traverslng roads with which he is
not entirely familiar. Every precaution
should be used to guard against these. The
public has been startled by the experiences
Of the Rev. John Brittan Clark, who was
found in an unconscious condition and very
seriously injured near Hackettstown, N.
j. 1t was first stated that MIR. Clark ac-
cident was caused by his coasting down a
long hill and running into ravine. But
this turns out to be only theory, for the
wounded man has not yet so far recovered
as to be able to give an account of the &C.
cident. He was found unconscious at the
foot of q steep hill, and if it develops later
that he was coasting another serious acci-
dent will be added to the many which have
been caused by this hazardous practice.
Many people ride the wheel and the pro-
portion Of accidents is small, but the c1-
perienoe just referred to shows need of
great care. Even persons who ordinarily
exercise caution occasionally get into trou-
BILE, 50 that reckless riders arc pretty sure
to come to grief sooner or later. brook
