GREAT TOMB OF CONFUCIUS.
Burial Place and Its Approaches Are
Scenes of Remarkable Interest.


Scenes of Remarkable Interest.
The city of Chufuhsien, the Mecca
Of the believers of Confucianism, is in
the province of Shangtung, one of the
most populous districts of the Orient.
Here Confucius was born, and here
his sacred bones lie buried The tomb,
which is located in one of the largest
cemeteries in the province, three miles
out from the city above mentioned, is
one of the most imposing in the whole
empire.
The grave itself is surmounted by an
earth mound u feet in height, the
whole surrounded by a cluster of
gnarled oaks and stately cypress trees.
Before the mound is a tablet 6 feet
broad and 20 feet high, upon which
are inscribed the names and deeds of
the great founder of Confucianism, a
religion adhered to by 400,OO0,OO0 hu-
man beings. The burden of this in
scription, according to reliable transla-
ton, is Perfect One Absolutely
Pure Perfect Sage" First Teach
err" Great Philosopher" etc.
The avenue which leads up to the
philosophers tomb is even more inter-
esting than the actual place of burial
itself. On each side of the avenue are
rows of figures of huge animals cut in
stone-lions, tigers, elephants and
horses, besides numerous mythical
creatures, such as animals half dog
and half frog, beasts with four legs
and twice as many wings, besides a
multitude of unnamable monsters that
never lived on earth, in the water or in
the air. Taken altogether, the burial
place of Confucius is one of the chief
spots of interest in the Orient

Pay Under New System.

The State treasury has received
$1O4.46, being taxes due from the North
western Coal Company's railroad, short
line at Superior. This is remarkable,
because it is the first money paid under
the ad valorem system. A careful esti-
mate shows that the amount of taxes
from all roads will be S545, 924 more un-
