The Americans live apart from one

and some of which are quite fine and

run up the sides Of the mountain
glen in which the town is situated.
They have, of course, one large AMI

two smaller ones; churches they
seem to have little use for. In among

WEAPONS OF THE CHINESE.

How Their Arms Were Evolved Me hod
OF l. designating Rank.
The prominent part played Dy
China in the worlds affairs during the
past seven years aroused the inter
est of collectors who have brought to
this country many specimens of wares
and goods peculiar 10 that part OF the
far East. None among these are or
greater historical valEe than the Wea'
pons which are in use in all provinces
of the empire, even in the districts
where the imperial armies are
equipped with European firearms.
One of the best collections was shown
in this city not long ago, and is now
in the possession of the commercial
museum at Philadelphia. Single specl'
mems of value are to be found in the
Chinese clubrooms in Chinatown, and
in many of the bric-a-brac stores scat
tered about the city.
A careful study of the weapons
shows that most of them are nausht
hut industrial appliances suddenly
employed for purposes of offence. One
spear is a pitchfork and another trl'
dent similar to the eel-spear employed
by our own fishermen. Another
ghastly weapon when examined care
fully proves to be a scythe-blade fast
ened to the end of strong pole. The
halberds are hatche!s, axe heads,
adzes, and cleavers wired or tied
with throngs to stout slaves. Even
the spears and lances show an agrl-
cultural or domestic rather than
military origin.
These weapons may be viewed as his
torical souvenirs which are preserved
as testimonials of the bravery OF the
Manchu conquerors. The Tartars take
great pride in their conquest OF the
Middle Kingdom. Before they came
from the north they we're savages IN
comparison with the civilized Chinese.
They preserve this fact in their laws
and customs. The cuff of every OIL
cial's coat is made in the form or
horse hoof to indicate that the Man
churian armies were cavalry, not IN
fantry. The official footwear is cav
airy boot, which, though made OF sat-
ir with kid-covered soles, is in cut
and general appearance the same as
the heavy leather articles worn oy
treir ancestral troopers 900 years ago.
When they conquered Chinse they ex-
perienced the strongest resistance
from the farmers and shermen who
armed themselves with whatever came
to hand and attacked the invaders
with fierce irtrepidity.
In honor Oh these victories they re-
tanned the primitive weapons OF their
captives and used them as trophies OF
their battles. Each Manchu officer
employed a lot of Chinese captives
and armed them vita their own
spears, tridents. and axes as the case
might be. The practice has been Kept
I'D ever since. Wh:n a Mandarin
goes calling he has one or more guards
in his retinue who are armed Win
these simple contrivances. So tar mas
the idea been pushed that in nearly
all the temples there are weapons
wnich belong to the God OF the Tenn
ple. and these are usually of the same
AGRICULTURAL character as those EN-
rloyed by the guards of civil and mil
itary officials.

But whatever our state may be, high
