The acting reminded us more of the American stage than did the Japanese, but the scenery was ex- ceptionally scanty. The audience cx- pressed itself in approval or disaprro- val with a great deal ofAfreedom.
 We found d sport in China which we have not heard of elsewhere, viz, quail fighting. These little birds are matched against each other as fighting cocks are in the Spanish countries. One American told us of fight between These combats, as well as those between the quails, give an for betting-a vice which prevails in the Orient as well as in the Occident.

At Canton one has a still larger oppor- tunity to observe houseboat life where the Pearl River furnishes the water supply and at the same time an open sewer for a floating population of many thousand.
 The contrast between the loving Japanese, and the dirty, .ompldisant Chinese laborer, Is very marked, ana this contrast is also noticeable ir the streets.

and bow their heads to the ground. in fore a Confucian tablet twice each month. When we visited the Govern ment school at Shanghai we noticed mats upon the floor of the otherwise empty assembly hall, and upon inquiry learned that at seven the next morn ing the students would perform the usual Confucian rites. These consist of a series of kowtows. At a given signal the students kneel on the mats and bow three times toward the tablet, their heads each time touching the floor; they then rise and after a short inter- val kneel again at a signal and bow three times more. This ceremony is again repeated, making nine bows in all. Then they kneel and bow three times to the professors: after saluting the professors each student bows once to the student next to him and the meeting adjourns. We thought 1t would be interesting to witness this service in honor of one who has received more formal reverence than other mortals, and arising before 1t was light, we made the journey to the college, which is distant an hours ride from the hotel. When we arrived we found that for some reason which we could not ascer- tain the ceremony would not be per formed Whether the postponement was due to objection to the presence of foreigners (visitors had been pres on former occasions) or to some other cause was left in mystery.

a business of so adjusting disputes that neither party will seem to be in the
 wrong.
 In dealing with China this national character must be borne in mind, and
 1t is to be regretted that-foreign nations
 have in their negotiations sometimes
 initiated China instead of setting her
 better example. One constantly meets
 over here with the theory that the
 foreigner must conform to the methods
 of the Orient, but this is always ad- vanced as an excuse for following a bad custom. It is impossible to con
 vince China that our ideal is a better one than hers unless that ideal is en-
 bodied in action. When our country admitted that the indemnity collected
 from Japan after the Shimonosheki af-
 fair was excessive, and returned it, she
 made deep impression upon the Jap
 anese. It was several times referred to by speakers during our recent visit
 to Japan as an evidence of our coun-
 try's desire to do justice to other na-
 tions. It is just as honorable for nation to acknowledge an error as it
 is for an individual to do so. and our nation has an opportunity to admit an- other excessive demand and return t5 China a part of the indemnity collected
 at the close of the Boxer trouble
 No nation has ever given more en-
 phasis to ceremony than does China.
 Confucius places propriety among the cardinal virtues, and the doctrine ffas been elaborated until the whole life is fettered by formality. Each rising generation is drilled in the perform ance of certain rites required by ap- proved etiquette, and it would be hu- ! initiating for one to have to confess that he did not know the proper thing
 to do and the proper way to do it. Even | sincerity was of less importance, and | both Confucius and Mencius set deinor- alizing examples in placing the latter above the former. In the Analects an | instance Is given where one, Joo Pei, | wished to see Confucius. but the latter refused to see him 'on the ground of being sick" When the bearer of ens message had left, Confucius took ris harpslchord, and sang to 1t, in order
 that Pei might hear him It is re-
 lated of Mencius that he was about 70 go to court to see the king when he
 received message from the king say ing that the latter was wishing to call
 on Mencius but was detained by a cold Mencius replied: "Unfortun- | ately I am unwell and unable to go to court" but next day be went out and paid visit of coincidence to another family. While he was absent from the
 house the kings messenger called with d physician, Wnereupon the representa- = tive of Mencius explained that he was
 sick the day before. but that being a
 little better he had hastened to court. It was then necessary to send out sev !. eral men to intercept Mencius and get
 him to the kings house. All of this
 subterfuge was resorted to in order to get the king to call upon Mencius first. The kowtow Is still a part of the ceremonial CTnafinQ If al 4

 H oNGKoNG. China. Dec. Is, l905.- In the first article on China ref
 erence was made to some of the characteristics of the Chinese. but the subject was not exhausted; m fact, it would require several articles to ex- haust this subject. and attention can only be given to those traits or customs which are in most violent contrast with our own.
 Chinese society is patriarchai in it's organization, the family being the unit and the father the head of the family. The Chinese sages present filial piety and fraternai submission as the root of all benevolent action. The children are subject to the parents as long as the parents live. and the younger sons are subject to the eldest The four rela- tions which are continually discussed by the philosophers are: First. the re- lation between the king and his min- isters; second. between the father and his sons; third. between the eldest fourth, between the individual and his fellows. but the fourth relation receives the least consideration.
 Marriages are arranged by the pa rents, and the children must be con- tent with the selection made. When the wife is taken to the home of the husband, she becomes a member of his family and subject to her mother-i in Jaw, If the husbands mother is still alive. As other sons are married their wives are brought in and they are ex- pected to live peaceably together. an expectation which is not always fully realized As law and custom permit the system of concubinage, 1t is not strange that the home is often the scene of contention rather than the center of felicity fN
 As the duty of sacrificing to ancestors falls upon the son, the advent of boy is the signal for rejoicing. while the birth of q girl is not considered good omen. So unpopular was the female babv that in some provinces many ot them were formerly put to death, but child-murder is now on the decrease.
 No one can visit China without be- coming acquainted with a peculiarly Oriental phrase called losing face.'' One of the first newspapers that picked up in China described the at- tempted suicide of a man who com plaiiied that he had lost his face" be- cause a magistrate refused to com Jnence a prosecution on his complaint In China there is constant effort to keep up appearances, and when this is no longer possible, the unfortunate one feels that he cannot look anyone else in the face. Chinese life is sat urated with this face" doctrine; it per roiafes through their disputes and pozes out through the pores of their diplomacy. Justice is of less import ance in the deciding of a controversy than the saving of the parties from the loss of face There are in each community 'peace-talkers" who make

 It seems to us in all seriousness that in the pursuit of our present policy of beirg always prepared for war we are showing g. nervousness and sense of alarm that are not creditable. Here we are w,th a continent that could never be conquered. with wealth and resources that are practically inex- haustible, with 5000 miles of ocean be- tween us and the nearest possible for midable enemy-a defense of which we seem to take no account--and yet we are building battle ships innumerable and are planning for forts as though we had an enemy right at our doors. We can not see any just cause for so much nervousness.
