JOHN cHINAMAN AT HIS EASE.
Celestial Dignified When He Casts Off
the Cares of the World.
From the Shanghai Times.


With the summer weather the Chinaman
comes before us prominent in his artistic
silks and in his native nakedness. His tenn
permanent also becomes a noticeable fea-
ture to the observant foreigner and the
manner in which he takes his pleasure con-
trasts marvelously with that of the ener-
getic occidental human being.
In the early hours of the morning, when
the rays of Old Sol are tempered with the
disspating dews of night, the wealthy ma
tive as we'll as the worker of low degree,
may be seen carrying the cage containing
his favorite singing bird to the native gar
dens or other tree-embOwered spot and
listening in contemplatiye ecstasy to the
joyous greeting which his Gagged friend
pours forth to the coming glory of the day.
AS soon as the golden beams become op-
pressive he retires to his domiciie, whether
to labor or sleep it's hard to tell. In any
case, he is wise, for has he not caught the
beauty of the grandest part of summers
day, the majesty of dawn? Again, when
sunsets glow has fallen dead In the west,
the Chinaman pours forth to his diversion
To stand for hours with waving fan on the
curb of our citys thoroughfares watching
the procession of vehicular and pedestrian
traffic brings him apparently the delight
which a Londoner can obtain from a lord
mayors show, daily repeated while vol
unteer parade brings him forth IN numbers
proportionate to the metropolis myriads
called out by a royal pageant.
Thus in dignified, contemplative manner
does the Chinaman display his idiosyncrasy
of pleasure-taking. Again. the native OF
younger blood. imbued with a tinge of for
eign taste, rushes madly through the
streets on the whirring wheel or drives,
luxuriously reclining in his smartly ap-
pointed carriage, behind the fastest trot-
ting pony. steered by a reckless native 1ehu,
which his means are able to procure.
The visitor to the various public resorts
of the Chinese in the settlements will in
variably gain an interesting insight into the
Chinaman and his pieasure-taking, and one
striking feature cannot pass unnoticed.
Whether coolie, merchant. office boy or
mandarin In public, the Chinaman at play
is invariably respectable. One hears much
of the native immortality, but decorum when
in the public eye and absolutely moral be-
havior characterizes even the biggest rake
among the Crinamen Be our settlements.

There Is a bee ranch with more than q
million bees in the heart OF one of the

Although 1t is a distance OF two and a

the trip there, collect loads Of honey and
get back to the hive in two minutes, max

An Afflicted Country.

Colonel Clarence Edwards, in an
able and interesting account of the
organization and work of the Insu-
lar Bureau of the War Department,
in the June number of the National
Geographic Magazine, thus sums
up the difficulties with which The
Philippine Islands have had to con-
tend during the past two years:
"Cholera has ragged throughout
tie islands. How many victims it
mas claimed cannot be exactly told
until the census appears; but by
comparison with the former vista
ion of the disease l should not be
urprisei to find that it had caused
from five hundred thousand ito
eight hundred thousand deaths, "
he latter number exceeding ten
per cent of the population.
"Rinderpest has killed over %
per cent of the carabaos, the native
work cattle-enough Ito paralyze
agriculture surra. form of

horses, and a drought has been ex-
Derienced in the past two years
worse than anything that has been
known in sixty years. Worst of
all has been a two years visitation
# locusts, which have destroyed
everything in their path" This
is doing pretty we'll, but tropical
resources have not been half ex-
hausted in the list given of petty
annoyances and minor misfortunes.
Wait till they have hurricane or
two. accompanied by tidal waves,
mixed up with a series Of first
class volcanic earthquakes of the
Krskatoa variety, which that lati-
tude produces, and which make
nothing of wiping out towns and
swallowing whole islands at gulp.
Then pile on an epidemic of plague
which is an indigenous complaint.
and the people out there will be-
gin to appreciate their resources.
1t would be an interesting inquiry
ii connection with une theory OF
the direct Providential government
of the world, as to what particular
ly heiuous sins the Filipinos had
been guilty of, that they have
been subjected to such protracted
and cruel castigation.
The most remarkable fact about
1t all is that in spite of such an I'M
precedented accumulation of OBJ
stacles, adversely and affection the
Philippine revenues have increased,
and, for the first time since the
American occupation, the year
1908 shows trade balance in favor
of the islands of $4,000 If
they can compass such results

heartening circumstances VIII t
