A Queer Examination.

Difficulties of the civil service exami-
nations are multiplied tenfold in the
requirements set down by law CT apph-
cants for positions in the mail service
of China
In the first place an applicant must
have strength and courage. To acquire
these he goes through a very queer
method of training. He wanders through
mountains and valleys. forests and
caves The exact time to be occupied in
a trip is fixed by law. and heavy fine
imposed for unnecessary delay He
must repeat these trips at night, and if
he listens to the bad spirits and there
by fails to appear at the required time
at a certain place he is sure to lose his
rights to a position
This is not all He is obliged to carry
an enormous weight for many miles
and return with it within a given time.
No allowance is made for his inability
to defend himself against thieves and
highwaymen. his road usually leading
through a district thick with bandits.
In training the candidate eats very
little-though he is used to this-and
he tries every straining exercise. Then
comes his real examination under the
direction of government officials. He is
taken into a long room, where. sus-
pended from high beam with strong
ropes. are very heavy sacks filled with
rocks.
The candidate must give swinging
motion to all these sacks and then run
to and fro between them, carefully
guarding against blow by one Of the
weights
