The student who makes his first acquaint ance with Chinese through the medium of Sir Thomas Wade's Tzu, Eth Chi or the more scientifically arranged work of Dr. Calvin W. Mateer, is rather disgusted when he learns that after all the mandarin' which he studies in those books is, among the 'dialects' which he some- what scornfully despises, only a parvenu after all. True the parvenu, though not able to boast of its antiquity, is now prevalent in fourteen or fifteen out of the eighteen provinces, i.e. about 300,000,000 people of all classes are mandarin
· speaking. Besides, it has entrenched itself, as the official language, and thus has a dial claim to the attention of foreign students who are preparing for work in the Consular or Cus. toms Services, Of course, it cannot claim to be superior to the other forms of speech, but, nevertheless, it bids lair to become the univer sal speech of Chira among the educated at least. We scarcely need rem urk that the usual ides of the uninitiated that mandarin is confined to the mandarins is a ridiculous misconception. Now if mandarin is not the oldest form of Chinese speech, white does it come in the series? The following is, we believe, the order of seniority, viz,, . Cantonese, a. Hakka, 3- Amoy, 4 Swatow, 5. Hainanese, 6. Sha g- hai, 7. Ningpo 8. Mandarin. So that it comes at the very foot of the series.
We some times call the others dialects, but as Car- stairs Douglas pointed cut long, ogo, the name is misleading. They are not a mere col. Joquial or patois, for they are spoken by the higest banks Just as by the common people, by the most learned as by the most ignorant. Moteiver, each of them is in reality a distinct language, and no mere. dialectic variety of some other language. They are cognate languages bearing to each other a relation similar to that which subsists between the Arabic, the Hebrew, the Syriac, the Ethiopic and the other members of the Senictic family; or again between English, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, etc. The whole series affords a tempting, field to the compara: tive philologist, and it is a pity that so much dilettante work of this nature has been put before the learned world, with the result that One RICKSHA and One LADY'S BICYCLE Chinese philology has become a bye-word.

as the survival of certain finals, and so attain a degree of probability as to the oldest strata, Now it is considered that Cantonese is the oldest because it preserves nearly all the anci ent finials. In this respect Hakka disputes with it the claim of being the purest mirror of the past The Canionese, as Dr. Parker says, has harlor at His Majesty the KING, for one further the best chance of remaining undisturbed by causes which were at work elsewhere to modify and wear off sounds which the laziness or exigency of man is ever prone to lay aside, Its home was the one of all Chinese regions most free from great wars during the earlier Tartar dominations of the 3rd to 6th centuries and again of the 9th to 13th centuries.
But who are the flakkas, who come second- to Cantonese, or 'even on a par with them in antiquity of speech? There is a common error among foreigners that they are not Chinese at all. This is doubtless due to the name they have been given, Hakkas. But this is merely "strangers" or "immigrants," a name with which the original dwellers dubbed the new-comers. Their present habitat is chiefly the North-Eastein portion of the Canton province, where they number about three millions. As s' own by. Dr. Eitel and Charles Piton in the Chino Review, all lakka traditions paint to periodical immigrations from the North-East. They are therefore pure Chinese, though at present differing in speech, manners and customs from the rest of the people by whom they are surrounded. The twe most remarkable differences of custom are the daily

They emigrate in large numbers, many of the Hong kong chair-coolies being sturdy Hakkas. By the census of 1891, there were 43,791 Hakkas in the Straits Settlements. Missionaries have been at work among the Hakkas in China with considerable success. But ab dictionary of the | application. Hakkas idiom has hitherto been printed, the Bavel mission laving, however, a”number of Hakka-German manuscript copies of a diction ary. The demand for such a work is neces- sarily so small and the expense of printing so great that, hitherto the difficulties have been prohibitive. But now, the government of the
Stmite Settlements have come forward with
commendable generosi y, and subscribed for 300 copies of a new Hakka dictionary now being printed at the American Presbyterian Mission Press of this city. The dictionary is the work of the Rev. D. McIvor, M.A., of the English Presbyteriap Mission, who has lived many years in the heart of the Hakka country, and is in every way well qualified for this Jabour of love. The magnitude of the task may be surmised from the fact that Mr. Mc- Iver's dictionary will contain as many separate characters as Giles' dictionary, besides the multitudinous sounds for which there is no written form. When this dictionary appears, it will enable philologista to study this ancient tongue with greater accuracy than has hitherto been possible, and missionaries will have placed the learned world once more in their debt.--Shanghai Mercury, ›
