SCHOLARS IN CHINA.
They Rule the Country Where All
FOREIGNERS Are Called Doors.

Foreigners Are Called Doors.
The scholars rule China today. Dress
is of more moment there than in any
other country, yet the scholar, al
though poor and meanly dressed, is
received with honor by the highest in
the land.
1.-THE superior man. of the classics
is the equivalent of the good man"
with us. This man. his character and
his conduct are the constant theme
Of appreciation. His virtue, his honor,
his social relations, his manners in
public and private, are carefully de-
fined. His dignity is among his high
est qualities and must be maintained
at any cost.
In contradiction to the popular idea
of dignity. however. the superior man
will play battledore and shuttlecock
with his feet and fly kites, while the
boys, like old men, stand sedately by
and look on This he does as q meth
oil of instruction and to show the
children how the superior man can re-
lax when his high purpose is to enter
tain and educate the young.
To the Chinese the foreigner is
boor and barbarian. 1t seems a
hopeless task to teach him politeness.
The Chinese wonders why the for
eigner leaves his own country at all.
Is it too small for him to make his liv-
ing, CT has he come to observe the SUI
peror people? If so he is to be COM
mended. But, alas, what boor he is!

Ancient Stone Workers.

Egyptian stone workers 1000 years
ago had surprising knowledge of
what are considered modern tools.
These pyramid builders operated with
solid and tubular drills and straight
and circular saws. In handling the
tubular drills, which were of superior
quality, the skill Of the artisan was
so remarkable that the cutting marks
In granite show no indication Of wear
Of the tool, while a cut of a tenth Of
an inch was made in the hardest rock
at each revolution. A hole through
perfectly smooth and uniform.

fla Marcia ReaIIe" Was Composed by
Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great was the COM
poser of the Spanish national anthem.
Frederick's ambitions were varied. lie
performed on the flute. He desired TO
be thought a poet. He quoted Latln'
but his quotations would have mace
Cicero stare and gasp. During that
remarkable friendship which existed
between him and Voltaire the author
of the 'Henriade' exclaimed with de-
rision, "See the dirty linen / have to
wash" holding up Frederick's manu-
script, which had been sent him to re-
wise. In the field the great warrior
carried about his own poems in his
pocket and a bottle of poison, so that
he should not be taken alive. MenZePs
picture depicts the king with his flute,
and Bach dedicated to him one Of his
compositions.
The story Of the composition OF the
Spanish national anthem is full OF in
terest. A little while after the cOnclu-
sion of the Seven Years war Frederick
at a court reception to the surprise OF
every one produced march which he
had composed. The Spanish ambassa-
dor. both a musician and courtier,
asked for a copy to send to his royal
master. Charles III. That monarch
admired the piece, and it was often
heard at the Escurial After a time it
was laid aside and almost forgotten.
In 1869, after the deposition Of Isabel
la, Marshal Serrano instituted a COM
petition among composers for a nation
al anthem Some 500 compositions
were sent in, but none of them was so
inspiring as Frederick's march, which
had been exhumed from the archives.
This was chosen and is today known
as "La Marcia Realle "-LondOn Globe.
