CHINESE LANGUAGE.
Difference Between the Written Char

Difference Between the Written Char
acters and Speech.
The dialects or languages of the Chi
nese empire are very numerous and
dissimilar. Thus a Chinese speaking
the dialect Of the Kwangtung (Canton)
province is not understood by chi
nese residing In the neighbor1ng prov
ince of Fukien. The language or Ola
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 /, 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
three-fourths of China or, roughly
speaking, in nearly all the provinces
north and west of the river Yangtze.
The language known as Wen-li is the
medium by which the classical books
of China have been handed down. 1t
Is par excellence the written language
of China, but it is not generally under
stood by the great mass of the people.
The spoken language-viz, Mandarin
may also be written, and there is
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
is being constantly increased by the
addition of new characters to repre-
sent new scientific words and modern
ideas.
Although the Chinese are considered
a literary people aud have naturally a
desire for education, yet owing to the
extreme difficulty of mastering the
Chinese characters it is estimated that
only one in ten of the population can
read or write.-Contemporary Review.

not at all attractive. The dist!lleries are
the largest In Scotland and perhaps in
the whole kingdom, and turn out an In

Lila Fail, the Stone Of Destiny.

heHletn MacAiplne was the f1rSt chief
tain TO unite the two tribes the Scots and
the Picts. into single nation, and he
became the first king OF Scotland In the
year s4l. He was crowned at Scone
seated upon the celebrated coronation
stone that was brought from the ancient
irish capital of Tara. This stone is be-
heved to have been that upon which Jacob
rested his head the night Of his wonderful
cream. when he received Jehovah's
promises for his posterity. There are
many traditions and legends about Liza
ran, or the stone OF destiny as il was
called. One of the ancient rhymes reads:
rniess the Fates are falthiess grown
And prophets voices vain,
Where'er IL found this sacred stone
he scottish race shall reign.
This ancient Latin couplet certainly
seems to have been fulfilled AS long as
Lila Fail remained at scone. the royal
castle two miles from Perth, the Kings of
Scotland were crowned upon 1t, and since
King Edward / carried 1t TO Westmin

of Detroit, for alleged breach of
contract on mining deal covering
the northeast quarter of section Is,
50 II. The points in the case date
back some five years, and recite
that Lamont and Freeman held an
option on the land in q uestion, turn
ing same to Coates without written
agreement but on an alleged un-
derstanding of sharing in the profit
of any successful exploratory work
instituted. Ore was shown on the
property and the Mariska Iron Co.,
differed by Coates and Miller, as
signed 30 year lease of the prop
erty to the Republic Iron & Steel
Co., while the plaintiffs in the pres
ent action claim to have received
