China, say a writer in the London Globe, has been described as "the wast, mummied, mammoth Empire, wrapped to swaddling clothes." A superficial acquaintance with her history will suffice to dispel this notion. Truc, her civilisation is old. The Chinese were an ancient nation 600 years before Christ. But they are not, now as they were in the time of Confucius. The social condition of China bas been brought about by the same slow process of evolution as in the west. It was not turned t readymade, but curved and moulded, and braten in the workshop of experience. Neither are the 537 millions of people on the southern side of the Great Wall, and beyond the Morgēli n Platen in a state of tornor. "On the contrary, their lives-are as full of political purpo e and opinion as are these of Eur prana, and one proof of it is furnished in the ReCre!
