REAL. PooH-BAHs IN CHINA.
Officials With Many PreroGatives
Who Work Hard.
(F-o1n the London Nail

Some idea of the work Of the average
Chinese official will be gathered from the
following statement made by an m-n5nt
Chinese statesman TO an interpreter.
The interpreter states; 81 once asked a
member of the Chinese Cabinet who vas
complaining OF fatigue and oyerwork for IN
account of his daily routine. He replied
that he left home every morning at ,
O'Clock, as he was on duty at the ga ace
from 3 10 s. AS member of the priyy
council he was engaged on that body from
6 until 9. From s until Il he was at the
war department, OF which he was president,
and, being member of the board Of p II
ishment. he was in attendance at the Office
of that body daily from - until =
4'As one OF the senior Ministers of the
Foreign ONCE he spent every day from 2
till or in the afternoon there. These
were his regular daily duties, and in ad-
ditfon to them he was frequently appoint
ed 10 serve on special boards or commits
sons and these he sandwicned in between
the others as he could He seldom reach
ed home before in the evening
II should be added, however, that the
Chinese idea of hard work is not quite the
same as the English idea The Chinese
official undoubtedly spends long hours AT
his various Offices, but this is no safe
guide. Perhaps the busiest department in
the Chinese Government is the board o.
punishment which reviews the sentences
pronounced by Chinese judges in all parts
Of the Empire. Naturally, therefore, the
work is rather heavy, but in other depart
ments eating and drinking is the chief
business Of the day

THE RAsCALLY MoNGoosE.
Reasons Why He Is Excluded From
This Country
From the New York Herald9


The fiat Of the nation has gone forth
against the mongoose. Before Congress
adjourned a bill was passed by both
Houses prohibiting its importation The
pugnacious little animal IS henceforth to
be placed IN the same category as the
Chinese.
The mongoose is a native of India. 1t is
death to rats and snakes For the destruc-
ton II works among these pests it is
highly priced But when it clears out the
rats and snakes ii betakes itself to birds
and eggs, and any sort of small game it
can get hold of. That is why the Depart
ment Of Agriculture Classics it as nox
joug animal Weighed in the balance
away from its native land, its vices are
found to outweigh its virtues, and, there
fore, it is TO be kept out Of Uncle Sans
broad domains.
Thus far very few specimens of the mon
goose have been introduced into this coun-
try. The ediet Of exclusion is based main
Iy on the experience of Jamaica. That ISL
and enee suffered from a plague of rats,
which were particularly destructive in the
cane fields. They were held responsible
for an annual loss of something like $780,
Geo. In February 1872, nine individuals OF
the monsoose, four males and five females,
were introduced from India,
They increased with remarkable rapidly
and soon spread all over the island, ey5 ID
the tops of the highest mountains They
proved inveterate rat destroyers. a decade
after their Introduction it was estimat d
that they, were thus saving the sugar plan
tiers $225, 000 psr annum- And the mcn-
goose was blessed
Still the mongoose increased, and its
murderous habits became more and mo; e
apparent rs the rats diminished. It de-
stroyed young pigs, kids, lambs, puppies,
kittens, poultry, game, birds which nasted
on or near the ground, eggs. ground liz
yards. frogs. turtles eggs, and land crabs.
1t was also known to eat ripe bananas,
pineappIes, young corn, pears, sweet po, a
toes, cocoanuts, and other fruits. Toward
the close of the second decade the mon
goose came to be regarded as the worst
pest ever introduced into the island
worse than the rats which it destroyed.
Then the mongoose was officially anathe-
matiZed.,
Hawaii, where the uongoose was intro
duced in 1881, underwent a somewhat sim
liar experience, and IN 1892 law was
passed forbidding the Introduction. bresd-
ing, Or keeping of the mongoose on the
island.
All of which goes to show that the non
goose is a good animal to let alone where
nature has placed it.

The OBerammergn Passion Play.
The Passion Play at Oberammergau is
one of the most remarkable phenomena of
the present century AS everyone knows,
it has been performed at intervals OF ten
years for many generations, and until quite
recently Was not in any sense money
making performance. The marvellous pow
eP and beauty of the acting, the fact that
the drama was peri -med in the open air
by unframed peasants, made the expe-
rience of seeing the Passion Play" during
the early part o. tals century one never to
be forgotten Il tAose days travel was
not matter of fact incident in everyday
life, but luxury a.t,inable only by the
rich; and a trip = Et,r ope, instead of be
ing a commonplace affair to be lightly IN
dertaken, was the event, if not Of a life
time, at least of year
Thus the tourists who visited Oberam-
mergau in those days We're as rule pro-
foundly impressed by the wonderful drama,
and were in sympathy with its artistic and
emotional effects. All this has now been
changed. The simple theatre has been re-
placed by more elaborate modern struct-
ure; the number of tourists has been null
tiplied; excursion parties are arranged,
and anybody can go. VIII the play under
these conditions lose its beautiful sim
pIicity and degenerate into mere money
making concern? 1t seems almost inev-
table
With every decade the tourist influence

tunes will be replaced by ready-made
clothing, and the peasant folk songs by
ditties from music halls. American canned
goods viii be substituted for homemade
eonfeetions, and even the department store
and the summer hotel may become fact
| in the little old Bavarian village. Can the
Passion Play with all its wonderful ira
ditionaf beauty. survive this transferma-
tion? Tourists who have been there this
year say that the change has already be-
gun.
There may be way in which modern
life?f with its locomotives and canning fac
tories, will develop a poetry and grandeur
of its own, but it cannot be along the lines
OF the past. Those who lament the passing
of old ideals must. nevertheless, recognize
the fact that they have passed and thai
new ones must be evolved.
