The Chinese are remarkably fond of
the drama, and consequently every vii.
lage has its stage. In this way the
people are educated in the past history
of their nation. The stage arrange
ments are about on a par with those
which existed in England at the time
of Shakespeare. There is no scenery,
and consequently the success of the
piece depends entirely on the acting,
which is remarkably good.
Actresses do not exist in China, for
since, some centuries ago, an emperor
married an actress they have not been
allowed. WOmen's parts are taken by
boys, who excel in their limitations Of
women's voices, gait and general de-
pertinent.
Perhaps it is their theatrical repre-
sensations which render Cinnamon so
content with rural life. At any rate,
instead of crowding into towns from
the country they are happy to work on
the land, which supplies them with all
that is needful for food and clothing.
There are no native factories, indus
tries being still in the cottage stage,
and agriculture employs more people
than any sort of trade.-Collier's Week
