THE FIELD FRATERNITY.

When Gods dear justice is revealed
The kingdom that the Father planned
His children all will equal stand
As flowers in the field.
There each one has goodly space
Each yeoman OF the fowery race;
Each has foothold on the earth, sss,
A place for business and for mirth, W
No privilege bars flowers access
To earth's whole store of preciouness;
The flowers stand level on Gods floor
With equal nearness to his store
And flowers, they have no private ends,
But stand together as close friends;
They send their beauty on all things,
An equal gift to clowns and kings.
They worry not; there is enough
Laid by for them OF Gods good stuff
Enough for all, and 80 no fear
Sends boding on their blameless cheer.
This noble blessedness can be
In kingdoms of equality.
So from the field comes curious news,
That each one takes what 1t can use
Takes what its lifted cup can hold
OF skyey rain and beamy gold,
And all give back, with pleasure high,
Their riches to the sun and sky.
Yes, since the first star they have stood
A testament OF brotherhood.

prove upon nature must be attributed
to practical conservatism the fear of
taking bread from the mouths of the
army Of laborers employed by the an
cient methods.
Two national roads leading out OF
Picking constitute the only great high
ways Of China proper. One extends to
the coast Of the gulf of Liau-Tong at
Shan-hai-kwan, the other to Tai-yuen,
In the heart of Shansi. This last was
the route taken by the imperial family
in the fight from Peking on the APP
proach of the allies, if fight there was.
The Chinese have a proverb that
road is good for 10 years and bad for
10000" and this last stage is the one
eigners in China. They find all roads
in China bad, none good. Stones and
powders appear to have been placed
loosely upon the top of the ground,
but probably the original cement base
has been washed away by rain. Ma
tives who need stone for building pur-
poses rob the road, and between the
two foes or three weather, thieves
and neglect-the road keeps to it's rep
utation for badness.
The transport animals in China, POI
MES, mules, oxen and donkeys, are
very tough, and they need to be to
drag their heavy burdens over the ex-
ecrable roads which man provides for
them. AS many as six or eight will
be required at times to haul one ton,
and then the team will include all four
kinds of animals A few camels are
seen in Mongolia carrying enormous
burdens.
The springless cart is one Of the
features and to foreigners one of the
fortunes of China. 1t is used for
freight generally, but foreigner natu-
rally wants to be hauled by an animal,
and this means in springless cart.
The jinrikisha is comparatively mod
ern and is an innovation. Drawn by a
strong, nimble cody, a journey in a
jinrikisha over good road is agreea-
BILE and for China swift. The sedan
chair is not only luxury, but cheap
means of keeping up appearance. Ev-
erybody in China who is anybody trav-
els in sedan chair. A prince will be
taken for no account person If seen
journeying afoot. Then there is the
mule litter, an awning sheltered seat
suspended between two mules. All
three methods of travel are fairly COM
Portable if one can fall into the ways
of the country and take things easy
regardless of time, especially on decent
roads. But this has been shown to be
rare experience in the Middle King
dom.
Strange to say, the telegraph. which
annisilates space, finds favor in China.

Learning a Language.

How is it that Englishmen are not
the best linguists in Europe? Simply
and solely because of the general and
absurd deaf and dumb" method of
studying foreign languages. Foreign
ers learning English know better than
to waste years over books; they simply
chatter and learn one word and ex-
preston after another and become
familiar with them by constant repeti-
ton, with the result that in a few
months they can speak and write our
language sufficiently well for all prac-
teal purposes Mail.

A submerred Forest.

There is submerged forest On the
Columbia river between the Dalles and
the Cascade mountains. According to
Mr.. G. K. Gilbert the submergence
took place $50 years ago, and since
then the roots have been under water,
while the upper parts Of the trunks
have been barred yearly at low water
The bark is gone and the wood partly
wasted away, but some of it is firm
and looks fresh. This fact seems ow-
Ing to the durable quality Of the wood

suga douglassi.

imperils had no Boxer organization to
take up their fight. OF course the tele-
graph does not take the place Of the
post, and an extensive business is still
carried on by public post carts and
runners and private postal couriers.
This is the ancient and time honored
method, and letter wouldn't be let
ter If transmitted in another way. And
as for sending treasure by other than
chinese carriers, no good son of Han
would think of it for moment. The
native treasure bearers are under the
special protection of the gods, and
nothing ever goes astray. OF course
"barbarians" insist that robbers en-
route are bought off by a douceur from
the carrier company, but it fits in with
the Chinamans superstition to think
that the gods are on his side.
AS for your railroads, we want none
of them," say the Chinese to the for
eigners. Perhaps they have read of
the walls that have gone up in quite
recent times over the suffering and
restitution caused by the Introduction

mouths of the laboring classes in Chi
ma means to condemn millions of hui
man beings to suicide. That it is sim
ply means to higher end the China
man refuses to believe.
And perhaps there is wisdom In the
Chinese objection to railways. China
Is vast country, and the system must
be vast to solve the problem of inland
communication. The lines must run
north and south through the mountain
barriers which extend east and west.
The construction would involve heavy
expenditures, and China cannot subsi-
die except by concessions of the peo-
pies land. A struggling road with pro-
hibitory rates is not blessing any
where.
Many, many railroads If any, and
these sometimes crossing wide barren
tracts, are the necessities of China.
Vast treasures will be needed for the
work, but most of all the consent of the
Boxer element Of the people.
