Atlanta. was established in December,
1897. The legislature appropriated $lO,-
900 on condition that friends OF the
school would add $4,000 more. This
was easily raised, and in 1898 about
500, 200 worth of machinery and $13,50O
of material was given it. The textile
department, which is said to be one Of
the best in the country. was new fea-
ture of education in Georgia, and one
that became popular at once. Instruc-
ton is given in manufacture of all
grades of cotton goods. in manual
training, chemistry, dyeing. design
ing, and engineering. The report Of
the institution states that of the nine
ty-four living graduates all but nine
are employed in pursuits for which
they have been fitted by their training
at the school. They are mechanical
engineers, superintendent of cotton
mills, in machine shops. chemical fac
tories, oil mills, and other establish
ments of the same kind, nearly all be-
ing In positions of authority and COM
manding good wages. No better evil
dence of the practical value of practi
cal training could be asked than this.

patterned after and to embody the
noble traits of some man who has
lived in the past. Confucianism Is
now well understood, and both Bud
dhism and Taoism have been so thor
oughly explored that 1t 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, Chinese NEUROLOGICAL die
tionary Such a 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 record OF
the steps by which many of them have
been promoted In the Chinese pan
theon, until, like Kuan-Ti 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
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 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 a sense all the dead
men of China are gods. Temples are
constantly erected, by. the consent of
the emperor, to men who, while living,
have in various ways distinguished
themselves. 1t is impossible to say
that any one of these men may not, in
the slow evolution of ages, rise to the
highest place among the national d.
whites. There can, therefore, be no
doubt whatever that as nation the
Chinese are polytheistic.

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 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.

The Religion OF China.


Buddhism is the principal religious
faith of the Chinese. Long as this
religion has existed, it is little under
stood by Americans. Its founder
Buddha, was born 623 years before the
Christian era. His theory of deity
embraced trinity, known as the
Three Precious Ones. The moral code
Of the religion contains ten prohibi-
tions-killing, stealing, lying, selling
wine, charging interest on loans,
speaking false Of others, self-praise
and back-biting, parsimony and scot
fling, uncorrected anger and reviling
the Three Precious Ones.
The Buddhist church in Thibet has
| its pope, Its cardinals, Its bishops,
priests and nuns, exactly as has the
Roman Catholic church. And more,
it has infant baptism. confirmation,
candles, sacred water and professions
The teachings of Buddha were re-
duced to writing SO B. G. The entire
canon of the faith was compiled in
A. d. 400. In this Buddha is described
as coming from heaven, being born Of
a virgin, welcomed by angels, re-
ceived by an old saint, presented in a
temple, baptized with water and later
by fire He is described as astonish-
ing the doctors with his understand
ing, was later led into a wilderness,
where he was tempted by the devil,
and thereafter he went about doing
wonders and preaching. He was a
friend to the poor.
1t seems doubtful when Buddhism
was introduced into China 1t is re-
corded, however, that in the year GO
A. d. the emperor, Han Ming-Ti, had
a vision wherein he saw a great gold
en- image around whose head was a
halo, and it was believed it meant
truth The emperor's brother, Prince
Tsu, having heard of Buddhism from
India, said the vision was nothing but
the great Buddha. A mission was sent
forth, which returned after some years,
bringing back wooden image,
counterpart of the golden one, one
book and Hindu priest.
The great temple at Pekin, called
The Yung- Ho-Kung, or the Lama
temple, is a Mongol Buddhist monas-
terry, in which there are some 1900
acting priests. Here the dogmas of
Buddhism are taught under the con-
troll of Gagan, or living Buddha.
The studies comprise a course of in
struction in metaphysics, ascetic du-
ties, astrology and medicine.
Many Chinese are Confucians. These
follow the teachings of Confucius,
which are the worship of ancestors.
One of the provisions of this creed is
that no son shall live more expensive
ly than his father or mother.

Ce,sIon. to Foreign Powers.

Each conflict in which China has en-
gagged has resulted in loss of terri
tory. The principal cessions made by
the Mongol government as the price of
peace have been the following: The
island of Formosa was ceded to Japan
in 1895, after the war with China. In
1897 Germany seized the port Of Kiou-
Chou on the east coast Of the Shan
tung peninsula, her excuse for so doing
being a massacre OF missionaries
which had taken place there. Two
months later she received from China
a ninety-nine year lease Of the port
and district. In 1898 Russia obtained
from China a twenty-fve-year lease
of Port Arthur, Talienwan and their
adjacent territories and waters The
lease can be extended by mutual
agreement. The same year the Chi
nese government gave permission for
Great Britain to occupy Wei-Hai-Wei
for as long a period as Russia shall
hold Port Arthur. To compensate
France for the concessions given to
Great Britain and Russia a ninety
nine-year lease was given her of the
bay of Kwang Wan, on the
coast opposite the island of Hainan,
and last year two islands at the en-
trance of the bay were definitely coded
to her. HongKong was coded to
Great Britain in 1S41.

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"
