Chinese Etiuuctte,

Strangers meeting in China may
freely ask one another their names,
provinces and their business os-
poets. 1t is always considered a m
pliment to an old Chinaman to ask
him his age, but the middle aged do
not as a rule care for the question,
and their answers can rarely be de-
pended upon. 1t Is also good form in
China to ask the number and sex Of
mans children, also If his father
and mother are still living. His wife,
however, must not be mentioned.
even in the most indirect manner.
Friends meeting, either or both in Sc
dan chairs, stop their bearers at once
and get out with all possible expedi-
ton. The same rule applies to ac
quaintances meeting on horseback.

TRUTH ABOUT THE LAND OF uR
District Of Busy Cities Filled With
Hum Of Commerce.

We may gaze to-day, even as we
walk the streets of London and Paris,
upon immortal statues, and majestic
obelisks, dainty jewels of gold and
delicate silver vases, exquisite signets
and vast libraries, maps and pictures,
school boy exercises and children's
toys, some of which were buried in
oblivion two thousands years before
Abraham was born. The land of Ur
was no desolate expanse of pasturage;
1t was hive of industry; a district
of busy cities, the home of thriving
commerce of settled laws. 1t had it's
schools and monasteries, wherein were
studied the lessons of an historic past
OF which its citizens were rightly
proud. Abraham and his family were
no mere Bedouin sheikhs-as Bible ar
lists love to paint them-rugged, un-
couth, unlettered, but men of influence
and substance, whose wealth was
secured by written conveyances,
whose transactions in land and stock
gave occupation to the lawyers. Only
the poorer peasantry were denied the
art of writing, and there seems no
valid reason for resisting the broad
claim made both in the Talmud and
by Josephus that Abraham was
abreast of the intellectual movements
of his day.-Sunday Strand.
