LEGEND OF CHINESE LILY.

TFrom the Philadelphia Times.1
Once upon a time there lived in China
two orphan brothers. The elder broth
err not satisfied with having inherited
the larger share of the parental estate,
seized the most valuable part of the
younger's, leaving him but few acres
of rocky, unfruitful soil.
The younger brother bore the greedi-
ness of the elder one until he was finally
overcome with poverty and hunger.
Then, in great despair, he threw him
self upon the ground and lay there sob
bing and bewailing his cruel fate.
Suddenly he heard a sweet voice call
ing his name. Opening his eyes he saw
a fairy bending over him, who babe
him arise, saying:
Thy patience and forbearance have
been noticed, and now great shall be
thy reward. Thou shalt find riches and
fame beneath the soil where thy head
but moment ago rested. To reach the
treasure will be no easy task, but be
patient and persevering. Rest not IN
til thou hast found that which shall
cause thee to be honored and loved for
a thousand generations"
Then the fairy vanished, and the
young man rubbed his eyes and looked
about him. His rocky ground was still
there, and he was jubilant with a new
born courage and hope. With resolute
will he applied himself to the task of
finding the buried trea sure.
For many days he dug faithfully. and
finally he found a flower bulb. Believ-
ing the fairy's promise he planted the
bulb and nourished it until from it
three grew a flower more delicately
sweet and fair than had ever before
been seen.
Hundreds of people came to see the
new flower. Other bulbs sprung from
it's roots and the young mans name
and his bulb patch soon became IA
nous. Riches and honor came to him
because, strange as it may seem, the
flower would not grow in any other part
China, and thousands came to buy from
him.
He named his treasure the "Shuey
Seen Fah,' or Flower of the Water
Fairy"-a name that it has ever since
borne, though in common parlance it is
known simply as the Chinese lily

Twelve years ago E. w. Howe wrote

had been produced in the United States
for long time"
A good many people have forgotten
1.-The Story of aCountry Town. or never
heard of it. yet it had a great run at
the time of it's publication. W. D.
Howells wrote a notice of it in the Cen
fury that sold several editions, and the
New York papers printed columns
about it. The Edinburg Review, the
Saturday Review. and all the great pa
pers and reviews, praised it. THE
Country Town" never had an unfavora-
BILE notice; it nearly always pleases. In
the libraries of literature, it is given
marked attention, and extracts from it
are appearing in the school books. Mark
Twain has written only one book notice,
and that was in praise of the Country
Town" The book is still selling, but
has never been pushed. Critics general
ly agree that it is one of the Ameri-
can books that will live. The preface
to David Harum" contains a strong
recommendation of the Country Town."
A great many predict that some day
the Country Town will have another
run. Had it appeared in this day, when
strong American books attract so much
attention, it would have sold million
copies. AS it was. it was printed forty
times, and is still printed as regularly
as any book on Houghton, Miff1in &

A STRANGE SIGHT.
[From the Philadelphia Record.

IFrom the Philadelphia Record1
Drivers along the Wissahickon often
marvel at the sight of giant hemlock
trees luxuriating on the outer edges of
the bluffs, standing on powders of
many tons weight, which are absolute
ly devoid of earth of any kind The
trees have occupied these positions for
many years, resisting storm and
tempest. AS they can not derive sub
stance from the solid and bare rock
the wonder is as to how they live. City
Forester Lewis, in explaining what is
to SO many people a mystery, says that
the trees, when in a young state, en-
joyed the rich woodland soil. The now
trees base were then much smaller per-
haps than now. AS the great beauties
of the Wissahickon became known the
cutting into the banks and bluffs be-
came necessary for the widening and
improving of that picturesque drive.
This. accelerated by the rains, gradual
ly washed away the earth, leaving the
trees in question standing out in bold
relief on their nude granite pedestals
AS the gradual changing of the original
conditions continued the tree adapted
itself to them by sending out through
the assures of the Stony-hearted rock
long cable-like roots, almost entirely
free from fbers, in search of food and
anchorage, and their present appear
ance indicates that they have found
both. If we investigate higher up the
hillside in the woods bordering on the
Wissahickon, where the original earth
is left intact, and the conditions OPP
posite to the foregoing, I'VE find the same
variety of tree Astounding in roots and
enfoying its life alSO.''

Nepean and Lady Jessica more promi-
nently pictured than either of the 9TH
ers. The second provides the indiscre-
ton on the part of Lady JeSstca which
makes the clever comedy of the third
act possible. Both form little more
than a recital of circumstances and an
introduction to later climaXes, through
which bright lines are not supplied as
generously as might be expected.
The apparent unfitness of Gilbert
Nepean for Lady Jessica is abruptly
shown at the opening of the piece, and
Falkner is as abruptly introduced as
the ardent lover. His passion is so
deep that although an idol of propriety
he forgets it wholly and announces his
devotion almost indiScriminately. This
amounts to an improbability because of
the character he is made to represent,
that of a man cool, calculating and
firm. 1t is only reasonable to believe
that an Edward Falkner of real life
would refrain from heedlessly publish
ing his love for the wife of another
man, especially when he could not help
but realize the social danger in which
it placed the object of his affection.
Lady Jessica is at no time more in
love with Fall1ner than she is with her
husband. She is pleased with his at
tentiOn and admiration because
both are denied her at home. But it is
only natural to deduct from the course
of the piece that if it had not been for
the brutal conduct of her husband at
their parting in the first act she would
not have committed the mistake of
meeting Fall<ner alone in an out of the
way inn. Her final decision to place her
fate in her lovers hands and desert her
husband was not the result of a sud-
den flame of affection, but simply be-
cause she believed, without weighing
the circumstances, that any life would
be preferable to that carved out by the
prosecution of her husband, and be-
cause the intermingling of manliness
with devotion on Falkner's part at the
climax of the third act won her admira-
ton.
THE Liars can not be properly call
ed a comedy. 1t is a stage story which
might easily have real occurrence. 1t
leaves Falkner heartbroken and Lady
Jessica far from happy. The only pleas
ing picture is formed by Sir Christopher
Deering and his promised bride.
Mr.. Otis Skinner and his company
probably make THE Liars as interest
ing as possible. The audience. last night
received the first and second acts in
almost absolute silence The comedy of
the third act and the climax with which
it ended aroused enthusiasm to some
extent. but not sufficient to call the
players before the curtain
THE Liars is handsomely staged,
and a number of exceedingly attractive
costumes are worn by the ladies. The
audience that saw it was one of the
largest of the season.

NOT A SINGLE RELIGION.
TFrom the Contemporary Review.

EFrom the Contemporary Review.1
Hindooism is not a single religion,
but huge encyclopedia of distinct and
independent worships; it is not a unity
either of thought or custom but an i'm
mense multiy.icity of sects and their
observances 1t may be described as
the amalgam of all the religious ideas
and usages of all the Indian peoples
through all their past To no two
classes in no two places is it exactly the
same thing. It's one permanent and
distinctive feature is it's social order;
where caste is Hindooism is, where
caste is not. Hindooism will not con-
descend to be. Grant this fundamental
institution, and it will be tolerant be-
yond the widest occidental dream of
liberation. 1t spreads not by the con-
version of individuals but of tribes or
peoples. Its unit is not the person, but
the family; for the individual it has
no place, with him it can do nothing,
and for him it does not care; but the
family, or the aggregation of families,
which we term caste, is to it all in all.
1t is more by his fulfllment of his
domestic duties, his fidelity in his pa
ternal functions and obligations, than
by his ritual conformity that a mans
orthodoxy is judged.
Hinduism is neither a philosophy,
nor q particular worship, nor a belief,
nor any SPECIFIC theology, but simply
caste. OF course, caste may carry with
it most of these other things, but not
in any uniform or authoritative shape.
There are various PHILOSOPHERS, but they
are concerns of the school: there are
many worships. but they are affairs of
the temple or the shrine; there are an
inf1nity of beliefs, but they are condi-
toned by time and place; there are
multitude of theologies, but they be-
long to the sect.
The one thing inviolate and univer-
sal is caste; it fixes the lines within
which a man must walk, the customs
he must observe, the social laws he
must obey. the means by which he
must earn his living. It is at once
ubiquitous and invincible, has lived
amid the laws and divisions of states,
keeping the people one while the king
doms were a multitude: 1t has con-
tinued and spread in the face of lin
guiStic and racial differences, and has
thriven by means of the agitationS and
controversies that have in Europe Gre
ated heresies and schisms. But the one
thing caste will not allow to be touched
is the family; its omnipotence lies in
to reduce him to a condition of more
absolute helplessness than could ever
be experienced by any solitary in q
teeming world which has no place for
him, and where he is known of no man.
This Is a power which may grow. but
which could not be made; which the
conversion Of individuals may do more
to confirm and define than to change;
and which can be dissolved only by a
process as gradual and as inexorable as
the process which formed it.

THE ISLANDS WE ARE INTER
ESTED IN.

EFrom the Cleveland Plain Dealer1
Preliminary reports having been
made Of the censuses just completed in
Cuba and Porto Rico, the much disputed
question as to the population of those
two islands can now be considered set
tied. The last authentic numbering of
the population was made under Spanish
rule in 1887. and there has always been
a doubt as to the accuracy of the fig
ures then obtained.
In 1887 the population of Cuba was
given as 1881, 6S7. It has been believed
that war; with its attendant distress
and disease. had largely decreased the
number of persons on the island.
There had been a considerable falling
on but not quite to the degree be-
heved. The census just completed
shows the total population to be 1.572. =
S45, being a loss of 5S,S42 in the thirteen
years.
In Porto Rico, assuming both enumera-
tons to have been reasonably correct
there has been gain of 15S435 in the
thirteen years. the population having
grown from 1856 in 1887 to $4,000 in
ASUv- Unless something is done soon

of population
The latest enumeration Of population
IN the Hawaiian islands was in 1897.
when there were 1890 persons of all
races and nationalities in the islands.
This was much less than given by any
preceding census or estimate, as there
had been a steady diminution of native
population, without a corresponding in
crease Of immigration.
In 1887 one-third Of the population of
CUBA were returned as colored, and in
Porto Rico about three-eighths were
colored. In Hawaii only the figures for
1897 could be examined. At that time
but one-third of the whole We're ma

half were Chinese and japanese. in
nearly equal proportions. and about
one-sixth of the whole were Americans
and persons of European extraction.
largely Portuguese. The United States
contributed but little over 2 per cent
of the entire population.
The estimates of the population OF
