that the Chinese pundit is in some way indebted fothe foreign barbaring for replenishing the Chinas mynn's ice-bowl, a circumstance which however notorious, must not be formally, admitted, | especially in public. It is very common for number of Chinese on entering a room where there is a foreigner, to salute all the Chinese in the room by turn, and totally ignore the for- eigner, A Chinese teacher is not unlikely to Axtter his foreign pupil with the information that his car is remarkably correct and his pronuncia tion almost perfect, and that he will soon surpass all his contemporaries in the acquisition of the language, while, at the very same time, the peculiar errors of the pupil are not improbably matter of sport between the teacher and hial companions. In general it may be taken for granted that the last person in set one right in matters of Chinese speech is the teacher who is employed for that purpose. One of the ways in which the, forinal and hollow politeness of the Chinese manifests itself is in voluntary offer to do what it is very desirable should be

Or if he were to pay the money from his own funds, he would bring his bill for the same, and if he was reminded that he offered of his accord to make it up, he would reply. Do you expect the man

There is a great deal of real modesty in China, notwithstanding appearances to the contrary, but it cannot for a moment be doubled that there is likewise a great deal of mock modesty, both on the part of men and of women. It is very com. mon to hear it said of some disagreeable matter, that it is wholly unmentionable, that the words are totally unuiterable, etc, etc., when all parties are perfectly aware that this is a mere form 'denoting reluctance to express an opinion. The very persons who use this high-toned language, would be rendy enough to employ the foulest expressions of vituperation, whenever they were excited by anger. False modesty is matched by

Mt. Baber mentions a Szechuan coolic, who burst into a delighted laugh at the spectacle of two dogs devouring a corpse on the tow path.

It is no explanation of these strange exhibitions often observed into be left in the Godowns, where they will be the case of parents at the death of children of whom they were fond, that lang grief has dried up its external expression, for there is a wide distinction between silent grief, and that rude mockery of natural feeling which offends the instincts of mankind. It is, as we have often had occasion to remark, several hundred years since foreigners began to have commercial relations with the Chinese. There have been multiplied testimonies to the business honesty of those with these relations-bave-been- held. Without generalising to a degree which might be precarious, it is safe to say that there must be a good basis for testimonies of this sort.

The Chinese are in no way behind us ourselves in that respect, in fact, 1 know of no people in the world I would sooner trust than the Chinese merchant and banker. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, bul to show, that I have good reasons for making such a strong statement, I may mention that for the last twenty-five years the Bank has been doing a very large business with Chinese in Shanghai, amounting, I should say, to hundreds of millions of taels, and we have never yet mel with a defaulting Chinaman." Whether there is an essential difference between Chinese business as conducted by wholesale and that by retail, we have no means of knowing. But without abating in the least from the value of the testi monies to which reference has been made, it is a fair question whether a large part of results noted are not due to the admirable system of mutual responsibility already described, a system which western nations would do well to imitate, It is only natural that foreigners doing business with the Chinese should avail themselves to the fullest extent of such commercial safeguards an exist, and for such results as are thus attained the Chinese are unquestionably entitled to the fullest credit.
