THE CHINESE DRAGON.
1t Enters Into Every Phase of a Nam
darin's Life.

1t Enters Into Every Phase of Nam
darin's Life.
Not only does the dragon symbolic
to the Chinese all that is imposing and
powerful, but the mass of the people
firmly believe in its actual existence
and it's power to do harm. Therefore Il
good deal of their time and money is
wasted in paying it propitiatory atten-
tions.
A live dragon would certainly be an
alarming animal to meet on lonely
road, for Il Chinese writer describes 1t
as having camePs head a deer's horn.
rabbits eyes, cows ears, snakes
neck, frogs stomach, a carps scales,
and an eagles wings and claws. About
the mouth grow whiskers and beard.
In the middle of the latter hangs
large pearl. 1t can change its breath
at will from fire to water, and its voice
sounds like the jingling of metals.
If a Chinaman wishes for happiness
and peace in this world and the next,
he feels obliged to consult the dragon
as to where his house shall be built and
his grave be made. Through the earth,
so say the Chinese, flow two currents,
the Dragon and the Tiger Now, for
man to have good fortune In life, his
house must be put in certain position
in reference to these currents. If he is
to rest quietly in his grave, that also
must be properly placed. So-called
'wise men" make business Of chOos-
ing favorable sites for homes and
graves, processing by means of wand
and incantations, and other kinds OF
tomfoolery, to be able to detect the
presence of the dragon and the tiger,
and to tell in what direction they flow.
All mandarins of high rank have
dragon embroidered in gold thread or
colored silk on the front and back of
their coats, distinguished, however.
from the imperial dragon by having
but four claws. The dragon also often
appears on expensive porcelain, but
poor people do not venture to use bowls
and cups decorated by his likeness.
For kites the same design of dragon
Is favorte. The kites are flown by
people of all ages, and are managed,
with extraordinary skill These contests
are popular with the higher class of the
people and with the lower. The strings
sometimes have powdered glass glued
on them, and the object sought in aerial
contests is to cut the enemy's string.

II can run an engine like papa" said

had explained to him how the lever is

The engine lies over an hour at st.
Johns, just by the water tank, and
during this time, while Mr.. Evans was
at home at lunch, little Fred walked
down to the engine, mounted the seat
and opened the throttle wide, says the
Portland Oregonian. The machine was
full of coal and water, and was ready
for the road. Several people saw the
boy start, but no one was near enough
to catch the engine. The news was at
once told to Mr.. Evans. and he reached
the track just in time to see the loco

Recognizing Taxes
For the FilipinOs

Manila, Sept. 17.-General Wright OF
the Philippine Commission is prepar-
ing a bill for harbor improvements
here. It contemplates an appropriation
Of 1000, 900 in gold for the construc-
ton Of protective docks.
The Commissions bill establishing
municipalities will introduce change
in the derivation Of revenue, which will
hereafter come largely from land in
stead of industrial taxation. This will
involve the raising OF the question OF
the validity of existing land titles aud
will force a decision as to the extent
which the investments of religious cor
porations are to be exempted.
At the Commissions session next
Wednesday civil service bill will be
introduced. 1t will provide for a
civil service board consisting of one
Filipino and two Americans. The ex-
amlnations in the United States will
be held by the Washington Civil Ser
vice Commission and those here by
Army boards appointed by Washington
authorities.
During the last fortnight ten Fill
pinos in Luzon and the Visayas, known
as American sympathizers or as aid,
ing in the conduct Of municipal gov
ernments established by the Ameri-
cans, have been murdered by then
countrymen in arms.
United States troops originally das-
tined for China, but now diverted ia
/ the Philippines, are being sent Ia
points where they are most needed.
Last week forty Filipinos were kill
ed. One American was killed, three
wounded and two were captured.
