appears the legend: Terror belli, de-
Gus Pacis'-"Terrible in war, gentle In

and stars appears the inscription,
"Marechal Ferdinand Foch, 1914-19,"
and this is surmounted by the golden
arms of France, the United States,
Lorraine's dual cross and the arms Of
the Knights of Columbus. The alloy
Of the metal parts of the baton Is

Yankee Understatement.

A paragraph in the Companion
about the mild retort of the man who
was kicked by his horse reminded Il
subscriber of her grandfathers story
of John Teele. John was q Yankee
teamster who was trying one day to
get log down from the top of the
pile. He tied a rope to the log; then,
that he might stop the log before It
rolled too far, he tied the other end of
the rope round his waist John pulled ;
the log came down and snatched the
teamster halfway down the mountain.
Some weeks later John was able to sit
up and discuss the accident with a
sympathetic neighbOr.
yes, sir" said John, II hadn't gone
more'n ten rod 5'fore l see where I'd
missed itr'-Youth's Companion.

Temples and Legends.

If the struggle for existence sug-
gests materialism, one need only visit
the temples in Canton, to glimpse the
delicate, subtle, and daring magma
ton of the seemingly literal, cautious
Chinaman. The "Flowery Pag0da,"
with the copper pillar topped by a
golden ball, & where a famed Indian
missionary once spent night and
so fragrant was his presence that the
tower still is free from mosquitoes.
To the give Fairies Temple" once
came five genii, wearing coats of diff
ferent coIors and riding goats of differ
ent cOlors. Each fairy brought stalk
of grain, which was given to the peO-
pie with the benediction Dwell here
in perpetual peace, and never know
famine" The fairies departed, but
their steeds turned to stone, and re-
main to this day in the temple. A
more mechanical curiosity is the tow
er where time is measured by water
dripping from four copper vessels, ar
| ranged at different levels.
The hills about are famed no less
for their legends than for the terraces
! where the ginger root is grown that
is preserved by the Cantonese. One
peak is crowned by a rock that swayG
when spoken to in angry tones; there
| is stream where some Oriental
Enoch drank a potion of iris leaves
and, becoming immortal, was waited
away to heaven.
There is Il chamber of commerce at
Canton, but the characteristic indus
trial bodies are the guilds, Y in num-
her. iron bound, self-perpetuating or
CARNATIONS, of great power both eco
nomically and politically. The Chi
nose merchant and artisan is an apt
example of the tremendous forces of
inertia, or precedent, If you like, in
Chinese life. He carves, brews, or
sells gold foil, not only because his
father or grandfather did, but because
his remote ancestors. when Columbus
sailed westward or Marco Polo toured
east did that very thing in just that
way.
OualIty. not variety, is the merit he
seeks, and the guilds define the exact

There is the Guild of Dealers in Cloth
interviewer with Metal Threads OF
Various Colors, the Guild of Dealers
in Kerosene Lamps, the Guild Of Deal
ers in Hand-Reeled Silk, and the Guild
of Dealers In Liquor Brewed from
Rice.
The honesty of the Chinese mer-
chant is proverbial. In Canton lived
Hon Qua, a millionaire, who furnished
q conspicuous example of this quality.
When firm which owed large sums
to foreigners became bankrupt, Hon
Qua headed list of Canton business
men who made good the debt, on the
ground that Chinese credit must not
