Manners and Customs Of the People.

British subjects predominating. About
a half of the total number of foreign
ers reside at Shanghai.
Three religions are acknowledged by
the Chinese as indigenous and formal
ly adopted: Confucianism, Buddhism
and Taoism. The Emperor is consid-
cred the High Priest of the Empire
and can alone, with his immediate rep
resentatives and ministers, perform
the great religious ceremonies. Con-
fucianism is the State religion. With
the exception of the practice of ances-
trail worship, which is everywhere OBJ
served throughout the Empire, and
was fully commended by Confucius,
Confucianism has little outward cere
monial. The study and contemplation
and attempted performances of the
moral precepts of the ancients consti-
tute the duties of COnfucianist.
Buddhism and TaOiSm present gor-
geous and elaborate ritual in China.
The bulk of the people are Buddhists.
There are about thirty million Ma
hommedans, one million Roman Cath
l.
Most of the aboriginal hill tribes are
still nature worshipers.
Pekin is at once interesting, despic

contradictions. Originally a Tartar
encampment, begun by the hordes that
swarmed to the eastern part of China,
Pekin soon became fortified city Of
much strength. Here the Tartar rul-
ers lived, surrounded by their Manchu
followers-fearing the white mans
usurpation far less than the numerical
preponderance of the Chinese. So. in
order to protect themselves from un-
expected assault, they constructed a
huge wall around their city-fOr China
is land of walls-and for time lived
in tolerable security.

While the coyote hunts singly in
towns or villages he runs in packs in
the open. and it is here that he dem
oustrates his skill and cunning. A
friend of mine observed pack of coy

lating jack rabbit. They swept
across the country in a line, soon start

was a regular plan of action. and none
of the coyotes seemed overexcited, but
when the hare was started they

dropped to the rear and a fresh coy

up until the hare was run down. The
chase was silent one. This method

causes of the trouble in China owing to
he fact that the Empress Dowager
was able to obtain ascendency over
the young Emperor, so that on Sep
tember 22, 1898. an imperial edict was
issued announcing that the Emperor
had resigned power to the Empress
Dowager, who has since retained the
direction of affairs and by her dislike
of foreigners has done much to foment
the troubles and has made 1t easy for
the Boxer movement TO gain headway,
even if she is not directly responsible
for the attack. as has been suggested
Ey those who have an intimate knowl-
edge of Chinese affairs. On January
n, 1900, 1t was declared by decree
that the son of Prince Tuan should
succeed the present Emperor. This is
generally regarded as equivalent to
kwang Su's deposition. The lively in
1erest which Prince Tuan is taking in
the attacks of foreigners is easily ac
counted for by his sons right to the
throne.
The government of the State is based
upon the government of the family.
The supreme direction of the Empire
is vested in the privy council or grand
council The administration is under
the direction of Il cabinet comprising
four members, two of Manchu and
two of Chinese origin. besides two as
sistants from the great college, who
have to see that nothing Is done con-
trary to the civil and religious laws
of the Empire. These members are
called ministers of Sta e. Under their
orders are seven boards of govern
ment, each of which is presided over
by Manchu and Chinese. The
boards are: l, for civil appointments:
=, for revenues; 3. for rites and cere-
monies; 4, for military affairs: ;. for
public works; q, criminal jurisdiction;
:. admiralty board. Independent of
the government. and theoretically
above the central administration. is
the Board of public Censors. which
consists of forty or fifty members un-
der two presidents. They are privl-
legged to present any remonstrance to
The sovereign. and one of them must
be present at the meetings of each
the Government boards. Each of the
eighteen provinces is governed by n
encouragement, who is responsible
TO the Emperor for the entire admins
tration, political. judicial, military
and physical. He is assisted by coun.
ell and other officials Each province

began rival city adjoining the Tartar
fortress. They. too built wall. and,
as the Tartars did. whenever work
man died. his body was entombed
within the wall. In this manner. 1t
is estimated. that one million human
beings found their last resting places
in the walls surrounding Pekin.
While the Chinese city is of much
interest. both from a sociological and
architectural viewpoint, yet the Tar
tar city is the more important, for
within it's precincts is the Forbidden" :"
or Purple City. where lives Kwang
Su, the unfortunately progressive mon
arch of the Chinese. The Forbidden
City is city of night, for there the
Heaven awaken and begin their life.
Little is known OF the Forbidden
City. for within the memory of man
not half n dozen whites have entered
1t. All that is known is that 1t con-
tains the palaces Of the Emperor. and
what is perhaps more interesting, the
famous coal hill. This immense heap
OF coal was accumulated for use In
case the city was beseiged. The hill
Is several hundred feet high and con-
tains hundreds of thousands of tons
of coal.

to leave the Forbidden City for some
