The mighty Yellow River, 9,000 // long, formand which are occasionally repaired, but of ing a natural boundary between North and South which the people can give no account, and for Ching, subject as it is to frequent outbreaks, has which they have no regard. He will find hundreds caused many an anxious thought to generations of square miles of populous territory, in which of Chinese statesmen since the faithful Yü first there is to be seen scarcely a single priest either devoted nine years to bringing it under control Taoist or Buddhist. In these regions he will 4,000 years ago. The instructions lately com.generally find no women in the temples and the posed by Wu Ta-ch'eng for the officials ordered children allowed to grow up without the smallcat instruction as to the necessity of propitiating the to survey and report on the River, and make a map of it in four sections, are sure to interest gods.

Viceroy Chang Chih-tung having heard from Sheng Taot'al, Chefos, of the latter's proposal to establish a school of mines at that port under a foreign professor, for cadets selected from all parts of the Empire, has issued instructions at Canton of the following tenor to the cadets whom he has ordered to proceed to Chefoo:-Kuangtung possesses much mineral wealth, especially in fron, and the silver mines of Kuei Halen, in Kunngsi, have long been noted for their rich supply of this precious metal, but the working has been very unsuccessful owing to the of the insufficient technical knowledge concessionaires. A mining college is now being established at Cheloo, Shantang, the province in which Chefoo is, which is also full of I wealth. There are the noted gold-mines of Ping-tu, in Lai-chow Fu, and Ning-hal, in Teng-chow Fu. There are the ancient silver and lead mines of Taxc-chuan in Tel-nan Fu. In Wei Hsien. (Lai-chow Fu Prefecture), Chang-k'iu and Poh-shan Hsiens (the former in Tsi-nan Fu, the latter in Tsing-chow Fu) are mines rich in both coal and iron. The Fuh-shan, P'eng-lai, Tsi-bia and Chao-yunn Hsiens all contain mines, at no great distance from Chefoo, and there are many great advantages in short presented in Shantung to the student of mines and the modes of exploiting them. The delegate whom I am about to Bend there with the Kuangtung information on the cadeis will collec following points: Processes of refining ores; methods of collecting capital for working mthods of extracting the metal from the mines; system of Government taxation; means taken to preserve peace and order in the mining districts. He will on arrival at Chefoo visit Sheng Taolai, who will direct him and his asso- cintes as to their future movements. He will furthermore ascerthin the feeling of the local populations with regard to mines, the expenses of working, amount of ore extracted, number of workmen employed at various mines, and reasons for closing mines which have formerly been worked. (These instructions are dated fourth moon),

CHINESE CHARACTERÍSTICS. "

POLYTHEISM; FANTHEISM; ATHEISM. III. Another significant result of the union of all bellels in China, is the debasement of man's moral nature to the lowest level found in any of the creeds. This is in accordance with a law skin to that by which a baser currency invasi. ably displaces that which is better, All the lofty maxims of Confucianism have been wholly ineffective in guarding the Confucianists from feats of the goblins and devils which figure so largely in Thoism. It has often been remarked, and with every appearance of truth, that there is no other civilised nation in existence which is under Buch bondare to superstition and credulity As the Chinese. Wealthy merchants and learned acholars are not ashamed to be seen on the two days of the month set apart for that purpose, worshipping the fox, the weasel, the hedgehog, the snake, and the rat, all of which in printed placards are styled Their Excellencies, and are thought to have an important effect on human destiny. It is not many years since the most prominent statesman in China fell on his knees before a water-snake which some one had been pleased to represent as an embodiment of Lung Wang, the god of floods, himself supposed to be the incarnation of an official of a former dynasty, auccess in dealing with brimming rivers whose auto inicious. This Lung Wang is generally regarded as the rain-god in regions ad- jacent to water-ways, but at a little distance in the interior, the god of war, Kuan Ti, is much more likely to be worshipped for the same purpose; but sometimes both are supplanted by the Kuan Yin P'u Sa or Goddess of Mercy. To a Chinese this does not seem at all irrational, for his mind is free from all presumptions as to the unity of nature, and it is very hard for him to appreciate the absurdity, even when it is demonstrated to him. In connection with these prayers for rala, another curious amd meat significant fact has often been brought to our notice. In the famous Chinese novel called the "Travels to the West. one of the principal characters was originally a monkey batched from a stone, and by slow degrees of evolution developed into a man. In some places this imaginary being is worshipped

To reverence the gods, but to keep at a dis Lance from them was the advice of Confucius. It is not strange, therefore, that his followers at the present day consider respectful neglect to be the most prudent treatment for the multitudinous and incongruous divinities in the Chinese pantheon, When contrasted with the Mongols or the Japanese, the Chinese people are felt to be comparatively free from the bias of religion. It is common to see over the doors of temples the classical expression. Worship the fastinct

e popular

instinct has taken at its true value the uncer tainty conveyed in the words "as if' and has embodied them in current sayings, which ac curately expicis the state of mind of the mass of the people:

Worship the gods as if they came, but if you don't, it's all the same?

Worship the gods as if the gods were there, but if you worship not, the god's don't care!

One step beyond respectful neglect of the gods is ceremonial reverente, which consists in per- forming a certain routine in a certain way, with no other thought than that of securing citain external results hy, so doing. The idea of solemnity appears to be furcige to the Chin se mind. We do not know how to speak of it, without expressing an idea of what is merely decorum, All Chinese worship of Chinese divinities, of which we have ever been cognisant, has appeared to be either routine ceremonial, or else a mere matter of barter, so much worship for so much benefit. When do t'in yek is spoken of as a being, and to be reverenced, the uniform presentation of this aspect to the exclusion of all others, shows in

a most decisive manner what the worship really is. Because we have our food and clothes from him, is the reply. when a Chinese is asked why he makes periodical k'ou-tour to this person. Even when the individual has no definite opinions as to the real existence of such a being, this does not prevent his conformity to the rite. The ancients did so, and be does as they did. Whether it is The gods are of any use, who knows?" worshipped, just as in western lands an insurance policy is taken out, because it is the safer way. *It is better to believe that the gods exist,' says the popular saying, than to believe that they do not exist at all, there is no harm done, where GE will be held in FREEMASONS as if they do exist, and are neglected, they may HALL, Zetland Street, THIS EVENING, the be angry and revengef.1. The gods are supposed 16th inst., at 8.10 for o O'CLOCK precisely. to be actuated by the motives which are known to actuate men. It is a proverb that one who has a sheep's head (for a temple offering) can get whatever he desires, and also that those divinities such as the 'Three Pure Ones, who have nothing special to bestow, will always be poor, while the goddess of mercy and the god of war, will be the ones honoured and enriched. There are many Chinese worshipers who are to be seen making a prostration at every step, sometimes occupying very long periods of time, in going on tedious and difficult pilgrimages. When asked what is their motive for submitting to these austerities, they will tell us that as there is so much false worship of the gods, it is necessary for them to demonstrate that their bears are sincere by these laborious means. Whatever may, he said in regard to such exceptional instances we have no hesitation in affirming that all that has been herela-before said of the absence

The photograph of a group of priests belonging to a temple near Peking, is a perfect masterpiece in the representa- tion of serpentine cunning Men who have. such faces, live lives to correspond to their it faces. It is as true of the Chinese, as bas been of other nations in heathenism, that they have supposed their gods to be altogether such as they are themselves, and not without reason, for many of the gods are the countrymen of those who worship them. Human beings are supposed to be surrounded by a cloud of spirits, powerful for evil but subject to bribes, flattery, cajolery, and liable to be cheated.
