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 we'll 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 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 KuanTi, 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 have been continuously wOrshiped
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 all
that for many centuries past they have
worshiped the sun, the moon, the
stars and a 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. 1t 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.
A 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
great rage, put coil of rope around
the idols neck and soused it several
times in the river, saying: "IIl 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 H. 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"
