LAWS IN CHINA.
They Take No Account of the Inten-
tiOns of the Accused.

They Take No Account of the Inten-
tons of the Accused.
The incompatibility of laws based
on diverse civilizations is nowhere
more marked than in China. says Ho-
sea B. Morse in the Atlantic There
no bankruptcy law is possible. If a
debtors own estate will not suffice to
pay his debts the deficiency must be
made good by his father, brothers or
uncles; if a debtor absconds his i'm
mediate family are promptly imprison-
ed; if the debtor returns he is put in
prison and kept there indefinitely, so
long as he can find money for his
daily food until released by payment
in full or by death. This is the law.
When in 1895 Admiral Ting found
himself forced to surrender Weihaiwei
and his fleet, he committed suicide
By this courageous step, technically
dying before surrender, he saved his
immediate family-father, mother, sons
and daughters-from decapitation and
their property from confiscation, the
penalty when a commander surrenders
an imperial fortress. This is the law.
When in the old days an English
gunner caused the death of a Chinese
by firing a salute from a cannon from
which by oversight the ball had not
been removed. he was seized, tried
and executed. And in 1889. when in
the course of a disturbance with Eng
fish and American sailors at Canton
Chinese was killed, the authorities de
manded that if the guilty person could
not be detected and executed the
whole party should be handed over
for execution. This is the law.
Intention is never taken into ac-
count. A dollar for a dollar. an eye
for an eye, life for a life, and all
for the emperor and his representa-
tives-this is the law of China.

Would You Recognize 1t If You Saw
1T on Another?

How curious it is" said the philos-
opher, that the person for whom you
care most on earth, the one you see
oftenest and who receives your most
constant attention, is the one whose
countenance is least familiar to you"
Who is that?" asked the visitor
Yourself said the philosopher "It
is fact that T. people could be dupli-
Gated and could meet themselves in the
street very few would recognize them
selves. We look at ourselves many
times during the 365 days of the year.
we say our eyes are blue or brown or
Whatever other color they may be, our
hair black, our chin peaked, our fore
head high. We know every lineament
Of our face from constant study and
attention, yet when we turn away
from the mirror we cannot coniure I'D
picture of ourselves.
We know just how our friends and
even acquaintance look. In fancy we
can see them sitting so or standing so,
and their varying expressions under
different circumstances are clear to us
even though we may not have seen
them for years, but when it comes to
ourselves we cannot fill in even the
outlines of the picture We may laugh,
we may cry, we may frown, but we do
not know how we look while we are
doing it. Photographs do not help us.
We have never seen ourselves in the
flesh. Mirrors and pictures are poor
aids when we sit down and try to see
ourselves with the minds eye
THAT is why people are so deeply
interested in anybody who is said to
resemble them. Just say to a man,
l know somebody who is the dead i'm
age of YOU and he will never rest till
he sees that person. Then if the like
ness is really true he will own that
up to that time he had had no concep-
ton Of how he really looked"
The visitor smiled wanly
Il wish you wouldn't talk like that"
she said. "It makes me feel positively
uncanny."- York Press.
