Chinese Deities.

Contrary to general supposition, the
deities of the Chinese are not myth
cal. Each of them is supposed to be
patterned after and to embody the
noble traits of some man who has
lived in the past. Confucianism is
now well understood, and both Bud
dhism and TaoiSm have been so thor
oughly explored that it is hard to be-
lieve that anything of Importance re-
lating thereto is to be discovered. At
least one more book upon this topic,
however, remains to be compiled
namely, a Chinese NEUROLOGICAL die
tiOnary. Such a work should contain
an account of all the principal divini-
ties actually worshiped by the Chinese,
with authentic details of such as are
historical, together with a record of
the steps by which many of them have
been promoted in the Chinese pan
theon, until, like Kuan-Ti, the god of
war, from very humble beginnings
they have become "adjuvant of
heaven" The number of these divin-
tiles is very large and includes many
that nave been continuously WOrShlped
for over 1000 years. Whether the
Chinese have ever at any time in their
long history had perception or con-
ception of one true God, Father and
Creator of all things" is a question
that has been long and learnedly dis
cussed by scholarly students of their
classical writings. 1t is still an open
question. But there is no doubt at ali
that for many centuries past they have
worshiped the sun, the moon, the
stars and host of ancestral deities.
All the gods of China may be said to
have been dead men, and, by the right
of ancestral worship, it may be
affirmed that in sense all the dead
| men of China are gods. Temples are

Chinese Superstition.

Similar in some respects to the cele-
bration of Christmas in Christian
countries is the observance of the
devils birthday in China. On this an
niversary many costly gifts are laid
upon the altar of the evil one. There
are many other superstitions current.
In sending the kitchen god to heaven
every year, the Chinese housekeeper
has to burn it and let the fumes as
cend. It reports on the good deeds OF
the family for the year and brings
good luck. Before burning it the
housewife dips her finger in a jar of
molaSses and smears the upper and
lower lip of the idol, so that when he
arrives at the pearly city he may tell
a sweet tale on the family and thus in
sure benedictiOns. A family, when
gambling, will cover the eyes Of the
idol until the card playing is through.
y woman in Luhoh city went TO the
temple TO pray for the recovery of her
son from smallpox. He recovered, but
was marked with the effects of the di-
sease. She returned to the temple in
a great rage, put a coil of rope around
the idols neck and soused it several
times in the river, saying: IN teach
you to lose your benign influence, you
rascal"

The Chinese Treaty.

The treaty between the United
States and China negotiated in 1858
and proclaimed in 1860 provided that
the Chinese government should guar
antee protection to the American min
lister in his journeys to and from Pc
kin, and should protect him and his
suite while in Pekin. The treaty OF
1868, negotiated by William II. Seward
and Arson Burlingame. provides for
the protection of American citizens,
American property, and American
trade. In article 1 it is declared:
Nothing in this article shall be con-
strued to prevent the United States
from resisting an attack by any hostile
power or party upon their citizens or
their property"

months later she received from China
a ninety-nine year lease of the port
and district. In 1898 Russia obtained
from China a twenty-fve-year lease
Of Port Arthur, Talienwan and their
adjacent territories and waters. The
lease can be extended by mutual
agreement. The same year the Chi
nese government gave permission for
Great Britain to occupy Wei-Hai-Wei
for as long period as Russia shall
hold Port Arthur. To compensate
France for the concessions given to
Great Britain and Russia a ninety
nine-year lease was given her of the
bay OF Kwang- Wan, on the
coast opposite the island Of Hainan.
and last year two islands at the en-
trance OF the bay were definitely ceded
to her. HongKong was ceded to
Great Britain in 1871.

BdJorio'S Royal Family.

The forthcoming wedding OF Prince
Rupert of Bavaria TO the Duchess
Marie Gabriel, daughter of Duke
Charles Theodore. brings to notice the
strange career of the royal family or
Bavaria. Three men stand between
Prince Rupert and the throne of Ba-
varia-first, his father, Prince Ludwig
of Bavaria, and, second, his grand
father, Luitpold, who has reigned over
Bavaria the last fourteen years in
place of the mad King Otto, who is
the third man in the way.
Otto, imprisoned in Furstenried cas-
tie, is not only mad, but of recent
years a cruel internal disease has had
its grip on him. He came into the
world with a sad heritage. His grand

Buddhism is the principal religious
faith of the Chinese. Long as this
religion has existed, it is little under
stood by Americans. Its founder,
Buddha. was born 623 years before the
Christian era. His theory of deity
embraced a trinity, known as the
Three Precious Ones. The moral code
of the religion contains ten prohibit
tions-kiling. stealing. lying, selling
wine, charging interest on loans,
speaking false of others, self-praise
and back-biting. parsimony and scot
fing, uncorrected anger and reviling
the Three Precious Ones.
The Buddhist church in Thibet has
its pope. its cardinals, its bishops,
priests and nuns. exactly as has the
Roman Catholic church. And more,
it has infant baptism, confirmation,
candles. sacred water and professions.
The teachings of Buddha were re-
duced to writing SO b. C. The entire
canon of the faith was compiled in
A. ID. 400. In this Buddha is described
as coming from heaven, being born OF
a virgin, welcomed by angels, re-
ceived by an old saint, presented in a
temple, baptized with water and later
by fire. He is described as astonish-
ing the doctors with his understand
ing, was later led into a wilderness
where he was tempted by the devil
and thereafter he went about doing
wonders and preaching. He was a
friend to the poor.
1t seems doubtful when Buddhism
was introduced into China. 1t is re-
corded, however, that in the year Sc
A. d. the emperor, Han-Ming-Ti, had
vision wherein he saw a great gold
en- image around whose head was a
halo, and it was believed it meant
truth. The emperor's brother, Prince
Tsu, having heard of Buddhism from
India, said the vision was nothing but
the great Buddha. A mission was sent
forth, VIII CHI returned after some years
bringing back a wooden image, q
counterpart of the golden one, one
book and a Hindu priest.

Each conflict in which China has en-

that any one of these men may not, in
