never by any chance be allowed to

there is the hoecake, which should be

BEYOND THE GRAVE.
Victor Hueo's Views on the Question
of Future Life.

Victor Hugo's opinion on the ques-
ton Of life beyond the grave was h
remarkable one. The great French
man was firmly convinced that he
would meet all his friends in future
world He was equally sure that he
had always existed from the ante
diluvian times, when the Creator plac-
ed him on earth. He believed that he
would exist forever, inasmuch as he
felt in his soul thousands Of hymns,
dramas and poems that had never
found expression.
When the atheists would say to him,
1.-The proof that you will not exist in
the future is that you did not exist in
the past Hugo would answer:
"Who told you l did not exist in the
past centuries? You will say that is
the legend of the ages. The poet has
written, Life is fairy tale twice writ
ten He might have said a thousand
times written You do not believe in
the doctrine of surviving personalities
for the reason that you do not recollect
your anterior existence. But how can
the recollection of vanished ages re-
main imprinted on your memory when
you do not remember a thousand and
| one scenes and events Of your pres
| ent life? Since 1902 there have been
ten Victor Hugos in me. Do you think
that l can recall all their actions and
all their thoughts?
1.-The tomb is dark, and when l shall
have passed the tomb to emerge into
light once more all these Victor Hugos
will be almost wholly strangers to me
but it will always be the same SOUL

CHINESE LANGUAGE.
Oiffereree Between the Written Char.
acters and Speech.

The dialects or languages Of the Chi
nese empire are very numerous and
dissimiIar Thus Chinese speaking
province is not understood by Chi
nese residing in the neighboring prov
ince of Fukien. The language or dia-
lect spoken at Shanghai would be quite
strange to the people residing at Pekin.
Written characters Of Chinese are,
however. understood and recognized
by sight throughout the whole empire
in the same manner as our Arabic nu-
merals l, 2. 8. 4, etc. are recognized
by the eye throughout Europe. But as
these numerals when pronounced or
read have entirely different sounds at
tached to them in England. France.
Germany, Italy. etc. so the Chinese
written characters are spoken in to-
tally different words and sounds in
the several provinces of China. with,
however, the important exception that
the mandarin language is spoken or
understood more or less throughout
fhree-fourths Of China or, roughly
speaking. in nearly all the provinces
north and west of the river YangtZe.
The language known as Wen-i is tie
medium by which the classical books
of China have been handed down. II
Is par excellence the written language
q China, but it is not generally under

The SPOKEN language-viz. Mandarin
may also be written. and there is a
good deal of colloquial literature In
Mandarin. Versions Of the Bible in the
local patois have also been produced in
several districts of the southeast,
where the dialects are very numerous
and diverse
In the Chinese written language
: there are over 10000 distinct charac-
tiers or symbols, and this vast number

addition of new characters to repre-

A DISAPPOINTED SHAH.
Queer Story Of a Przefisht In an Eng.
Iish Royal Garden.

Queer Story of Prizefieht In an Eng.
Iish Royal Garden.
In his book of memories Major Cen
eral Sir Owen Tudor Burns tells
story of the first visit of a shah to
Great Britain:
The shah wanted to see a priZefght,
with blood. After much anxious
thought and consultation with Lord
Queensberry an innocent glove fight
was arranged in the buckingham pals
ace stables, to take place quietly half
an hour before the shah was to receive
Lord Shaftesbury and the archbishops
and bishops with memorial asking
him to protect the interests of the
Christians in Persia.
But the shah slept late. The prize
fighters overlapped the prelates. A
bootman made a mistake in opening
the door. Archbishops and bishops fol-
lowing the shah in a moment found
themselves more or less in ring
round the two prizefghters. The
bishops hustled back to the reception
room, the fight was stopped, the shah
was angry and disappointed, and Lord
Shaftesbury was heard shouting: "a
prizefght in the garden of the queens
palace forsooth! I will denounce you
all over the kingdomw Mutual expla-
nations followed, the matter was set
right, we sent special messages to the
reporters to keep it out of the press,
and l was later on privileged to ex-
oil 70 hn vrhn %ho

ever, inside Buckingham palace, we
all smoothed our ruffled feathers and
listened to a most gloomy grafton from

Of his priZefght, turned round to Sill

tation, while doubtless the disappont
ed boxers were having consolation

the shah's bear leaders lived in terror
for some days.
The lord chamberlain blamed me,
