CHINESE CUSTOMS.

In China. great and happy
land, the doctors only in demand
when folks are feeling fine; he's
paid to keep his patients hale;
if they fall sick he draws no
kale. and must take in his sign.
And so we see him on the jump,
to cure the measle or the InumD.
or other fell disease; 1t doesn't
pay 10 have men sick. SO he pre-
scribes his powdered brick. his
pills and healing teas. And IL
the patient cashes in. the heirs
kick up frightful din that in
dicates their ire; they camp
upon the doctors trail, and ride
that learnd man on rail. and
set his house afire. And in our
land. where culture reigns, when
we fail sick. with pea green
pains, we call the nearest doc:
when we are well we care no
whoop for all the potions in his
coop, for all the pills in stock.
The doctor knows we have
Wad. a bundle opulent and broad,
he knows Wen pay his bills:
and he would more than human
be IL he were not inclined 10 see
how long well take his pills. We
put temptation in his way: why
should he heal Us in day, or
even in year? Why should he
show his smoothest curve, and
toll and strain his every nerve
to put our works in gear2 The
Chinese plan is much the best,
in fact. the peoples of the West
might learn much from Cathay;
her methods often are so sane
look vain, like pipe dreams gone
astray.

drastically. and repeatedly revised

nouncement emphasizes the utter
variance Of the authors methods and
means with those Of ordinary histori-
cal writer's. They cannot produce

volumes. They do not write while
getting their ideas" into order. but
as far as possible after doing 80. They
are tenacious of their carefully stud

little improper: and the intention IN

torieal work. Mr.. Wells not only
keeps his history in a fux, but Is SO
far from wishing 70 make i dehnitive
that he writes as IL ne would be vast
ly pleased If some one produced
better.
1t is the difference OF aim even NOR
than Of method and means that dis
tinguishses Wells book. He wished
to produce at once a history and
tract. It's aspect as a tract was the
most important. He belived that We
need "a new scheme OF elementary
history teaching throughout the
world" and to get attention FOR the
plan was more important than 10 get
approval for the particular book
which illustrated il. In his Yale Re-
view article ne obviously reioices over
his severe critics much as he re5oices
over his zoe, 900 buyers. What are
faults when he has gained his world
wide advertisement despite them? The
very process of writing and rewrit-
ing, revising and re-revising, with
this great public looking on, helps IN
the popularization Of his idea. The
tract has been a striking success. We
may now see whether. as some
critics say. revision will make the
book itself, as mere history. a strlk-
ing and permanent success.
