China's Four Relations.

China has four state established re-
ligions, and in each the emperor exer-
cises sacerdotal functions. Twice a
year the emperor as "son of heaven"
worships before the tablet of Shang II
or supreme heaven in accordance with
the ancient imperial monotheism.
Twice year he burns incense before
the tablets of his ancestors in accord
ance with Confucianism. Twice a
year he sacrifices to the gods Of Tao
ism and twice year to the image Of
Buddha. The ancient and primitive
religion Of China is monotheistic, but
this direct worship was regarded as
too sublime for the people, so that it
became reserved for the emperor alone
as the "son of heaven" and as priest
of the nation. The people on their
part worshiped their ancestors, and 1t
was this ancestral religion which Con-
fucius identified himself with and re-
formed. The old superstitions rejected
by Confucius were absorbed by Tao
ism, which is polytheistic and the re-
ligion of the populace. Then Bud
dhism came into China about 65 A. D.
and, like the other three religions, be-
came state supported and state en-
dOwed.

Polishing 4 Diamond.

The polishing of diamond is very
slow process, because of the great
hardness Of the material; besides this,
the work must be frequently inter
rupted to allow the disk to cool out
after it has become overheated by
friction. Each time new facet Is to
be cut the diamond must be removed
from the dop and reset at another
angle, and the diamond cutter trusts to
his eye alone to guide him In this deli
cate adjustment, although in the case
Of very small diamonds a magnifying
glass is necessary. The skill shown
IN placing the stone in the heated
metal, sometimes with the bare hand,
is surprising. The regular brilliant
has fifty-six facets, besides the table
and the collet-thirty-two above the
girdle and twenty-four below-but as
eight facets are first formed, both
above and below, each of these being
recut into three or four smaller ones,
there are considerably more than fifty
six separate surfaces to be cut.-Dr.
George f. Kunz in Century.

Squeezed the Squeezers.

II is said that when Mr.. Yerkes be-
gan to make money some of the banks
from which he had borrowed thought
to squeeze" him by demanding In
slant repayment or a large considera-
ton for further time. He was invited
to call on one Of these bankers" and
there met the others. Their demand
was made, and their victim seemed at
their mercy. They did not, however,
know the resourcefulness Of Mr..
Yerkes. who retaliated by remarking:
"Well, owe lot to all the banks
here, and I'll just publish statement
tomorrow in the papers, giving the full
amounts and stating my inability to
pay This will make such run on
the banks that they will soon be as
broke as should, and therefore shall
not be the only sufferer"
The 'squeezers' recognized the truth
Of this and so withdrew their demand.
Mr. Yerkes, however, refused to with
draw his threat unless they lent him
another $4,000. They did SO.
