They are far in
the draising of their hair is concerned. They have a variety of ornaments for theirhead dress, and wear different hairpios appropriate to each month of the year. What seema strange to us Japannin is that when Chinese women grow old, they use even more showy bairplex than those used by young women. This is done, it is said, from a desire to divert their husbands attention as far as possible from the signs of their advancing age.

"It may safely be said that there is no language that can be understood by every Chinese. The principal cause lies in the fact that the Chinese nation is composed of people who are descendants of totally different races, such as the original Chinese and the Maschus, | whose different tribes or communities bave bad little relation with one another owing to the vastness of the territory. In Peking two dialects are spoken, one called the official language of Peking, and the other the Peking dialect, I like manzer there are the Nanking official dialect and the ordinary Nanking dialect European huguists' who are versed in the Chinese language-or (dialects--bave || classified the modern Chinese dialects into pinc, viz., (1) Kwanglung, (1) Swatow, (3) Amoy, (4) Foochow (5) Wonchow, (5, Ningpo, (7) Shanghai, (8) Chelon, and (9) the Peking official dialect. It is probable that as a result of the construction of railways to China by foreign companies, various dialects may spring up along these lines-dialects the main VOCA bularies of which will be intermixtures of Chinese words with those of the languages spoken by the foreigners attached to the rail- ways A Chinaman from Peking and another from Kwangtong, who find it otietly impossible communicate their thoughts to each other by speaking in their respectiva dis lects, can often make themselves understood by each other if they can speak broken English When China opens her Parliament some night years hence, it will be found that no parliamen
