BUSINESS SITE IN CHINA.
Superstitions That Control TIA Selection
-LoeAusn OF . PaEoda.
From the Shanohai Mercvrv.

From the Shanghai Mercury.
The Chinese are invariably courteous
and considerable IL you take them the right
way. Superstition OF course is deeply
engrafted in their natures, and akind OF
| Kismet policy. after the OF the
Turks. takes possession OF them. SO that
Whatever 10 going to happen will happen
and there the matter ends.
Battling against fate for a Chinaman
is sheer waste Of time. and he simply bow
his head to the inevitable. Take for ex-
ample the strict attention or rather the
devotion that is paid TO "feng-shui" on the
YangtZe. Feng-ehui is the superstition
that determines good site or locality. and
IL q town on the Yangtze has not a good
feng shut trade will not come to 1t and
It will be ruined.
A town named Pei-Shih had Its pagoda
in the wrong place, not far enough down
the river in fact, the result being that all
trafic which should have come to IL was
swept past. the result being that Pei-Shih
was left out in the cold. All the talk In
the world would not convince the Pei-Shlh
folk that the depression could arise from
any other cause than that Of a bad feng-
shut, SO they pulled the pagoda down and
built another one in the supposed right
spot. so far prosperity has nc. returned
to Pei-Shih, though the inhabitants live in
hope.
The city OF Wanshien, on the other hand,
has a perfect eng-shui. two fne godas,
one n thousand feet high. below the town.
while Wanshiep itself is very prosperous.
The fact that wanshien is situated in a
most fertile valley where wheat. barley and
the POPPY flourish a%bundantly, while Pei
Shin is barren n miserable. does not
concern the inhabitants OF these place.
SO much as the fens-shui site. This absurd
idea in the Chinese mind is only one Of thou
sands like IL.
