Chinese Ethics.

A Chinese phrase, for which we
shall hardly find an exact equivalent
in the English language, will help us
to separate truth from error--or at
least the probable fromthe unlikely
when we read such dispatches as
those recently published in regard to
the flight, assassination, or suicide
of the Chinese Emperor The phrase
may be- literally translated, "to save
his face" Any high official OF the
Empire may apply it to himself IN
certain contingencies, and may think
that he. defends his personal credit
and that of his Office by committing
suicide when threatened with removal.
In tho case of the Emperor his sense
of propriety and the rule of etiquette
would leave him no choice. If his
successor has been. chosen, or it be-
comes quite certain that q successor
