CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS:
It was a saying.of Geo. D. Prentice, a distin. guished Kentucky editor, that man was the prin cipal object in creation, woman being merely "a side issue." The phrase is a literal expres sion of the position of a wife in a Chinese family. The object had in view in matrimony by the family of the girl, in to get rid of supporting her. The object on the part of the husband's family is to propagate the family. These objects are not in themselves open to criticism, except on the ground of a ton complete occupation of the human motives. But in China no one indulges In any illusions on the subject. That which is true of marriages of those in the ordinary walks of life, is pre-eminently true of the prorer classes. It is a common observation in regard to a widow who has re-married, that "now she will not starve." It is a popular proverb that a second husband and a second wife, ate husband and wife only as long as there is anything to cat; when the food supply fails, each stifts for him or herself, In times of famine relief, cases have often been observed where the husband simply abandons the wife and the children, leaving them to pick up a wretched subsistence, or to starve. In many instances daughters-in-law were sent back to their mothers' family to be supported or starved as the event might be. She is your daughter-take care of her your- self. In other cases where special food was given by distributors of famine relief to women who were nursing small infants, it was some- times found that this allowance had been taken from the women, and devoured by the men, although these instances were probably excep- tional. While it would be obviously unfair to a people only by the phenomena of such years as those of great famine, there is an important ense in which such occasions are a species of touchstones by which the underlying principles of social life may be ascertained, with more accuracy and cer tainty, than on ordinary pccasions. sale of wives and of children in China is practice not confined to years of peculiar distress, but during those years it is carried on to an extent which throws all ordinary transactions of this nature into insignificance. It is perfectly
The
В
THE ABSENCE OF ALTRUISM. Altruism, which has of late become a very popular term in Western lands, is defined as regard for others, both natural and moral; devotion to the interests of others; unselfishness; apposed to egoism. The Confucian classics contain several explicit recognitions of the principle, that what one does not wish done to himself, he should not to do others. This is the golden rule in its negative form, and is one of the high-water marks of Chinese morality. The practice of the Chinese, like that of other people, does not come up to their theoretical standard. What that practice is, and how far it fails to conform to those standards, can only be ascer- tained by a wide a survey of their social life. However wide such a survey ntay be, it is always open to the objection that it is not be no "genera- wide enough, for there can lisation that takes account of more than an infinitesimal part of even the known facts; and in regard to the social life of the Chinese there is much which is not known at all, and much more which is known imperfectly, As this is one of the most important and likewise one of the last characteristics of the Chinese, to which we wish to draw attention, we must bespeak the reader's considerate attention, once one again assuring him that the views pro- sented have not been suddenly reached, but are the results of slow accumulation of evidence, too strong, and too, varied to be ignored or resisted. It must ever be borne in mind that the population of China is dense. The disasters of flood and famine are of periodical occurrence in almost all parts of the empire. The Chinese desire for posterity is so overmastering a passion, that circumstances which ought to operate as an effectual check upon population, and which in many other countries would do so, appear to be in China relatively inefficient for that purpose The very poorest people continue to marry their children at an early age, and these children bring up large families, just as if there were any provision for their maintenance. The result of these and other causes is, that a large proportion of the population lives in the most literal sense from hand to mouth. This may be said to be the universal condition of day labourers, and it is a condition from which there appears to be no possibility of escape. No foreigner can long deal' with the ordinary Chinese whoth be everywhere meets, without at once becoming aware of the fact that hardly any one bas muy ready money. The moment that anything whatever is to be done, the first demand is for cash, that those who are to do it may get something to eat, the pre- that during the early part of the current year, in sumption being that as yet they have had nothing. many districts stricken with a famine only less It is often very hard even. for well-to-do people grievous than those of eleven and twelve years to raise the most moderate sums of money, when ago, the sale of women and children was con- it suddenly becomes necessary to do so..

Considering the great and constant risks up. In the cases to which reference is now involved, it is amazing with what facility money made, young women were taken from a region I borrowed and lent, by all classes of people, where they were in a condition of starvation, This is due in part to the absence of those forms and where the population was too redundant, to of investment, such as savings banks which in occidental lands now bring the possibility of reasonably safe deposit within the reach of the poorest people. But the promiscuous lonalog of money is accompanied by a condition to which, reference has been already made, in speaking of the lack of mutual confidence, to wit, the high rate of interest. While three per cent, a mouth, oreven more, is a common rate, in special cases and for peculiar exigencies the charge is much higher, rising it is said in some instances to the ruinous extortion of one per cent, a day. Hopeless poverty is the most prominent fact in the Chinese Empire, and the bearing of this fact upon the relations of the people to one another, must be evident to the most careless observer.
