The Chinese Soldier

I have read and l have heard 1t
stated that because Of his perfect in
difference to death the Chinaman will,
when properly led, make formidable
soldier. 1t is an unconvincing state
ment. He is indifferent to death, and
cases are common enough Of his sell
ing himself to die in the place OF 4
convicted criminal, and then dying
stoically. 4 criminal able TO pay fifty
dollars for substitute and something
mere TO Eribc the law can usually es-
cape. But it surely would be a sorry
army that was composed OF men to
whom life was hopeless. dull, almost
intolcrable thing. And life TO the av-
crage Chnaman is that. He is not
aggressivaS not warlikc, not courage
Gus. Heyis willing to die, provided
that the whole Of his body shall be
buried with suitable rites by his fam
ily; but he fears nothing so much us
death without those rites; and dismem-
berment is more than disgraceful and
shameful, since it places him at a
marked disadvantage in that. world
to come in which he has been taught
he will find indemnifcation for his
troubles in this.-John Russell Cor

only for, servants and ceremonial oc..
casions. Not every one is aware, how
ever, that there are few other courts
where this simplicity prevails. The
Emperor of Germany is "majestat"-
there is no pronoun in the title-.to all
and sundry, even to his family, except
when in absolute privacy. The EN-
peror If Austria is "eurer majestat" at
all r. les and under all circumstances;
th-. ENG of Greece is :'votre majestic"
French beihg,the court language, and
the King Of Sweden, is "eis majestat."
Their royal consorts are, addressed with
the same formality. Only at the courts
of Belgium and Italy may the sover.s
eign be greeted as 'sire" or>"madam,"
though the etiquette Of the Russian
court permits it when the French Ian
guage is being used. Nicholas H.. is
to his courtiers and officials "czar."
70 the lips Of Russian peasant face
to face with his sovereign the time
honored little father" little mother"
would spring, as would "excellenza'
to those of an italian. 1t should be
noted in passing that not even their
most privileged courtiers may speak
to monarchs unless they ere spoken. to.
This piece of etiquette does not work
out quite so stiftiy as MIGHT be expect
ed; once embarked on a conversation
remarks and opinions may be offered
with q due amount of tact. ~.
