But, though the Chinese have learned to manage their wheelbarrow, as they can learn to manage anything, yet it is a clumsy contrivance, and emblematic both of Chinese disregard of con veniente, and of their haized of change. Instead of trying to preserve a balance bitween a honvy wooden packing" case and #Hight cardboard hat-box, we choose the easy method of using a truck. We limit the use of the wheelbarrow to things which Can conveniently be contained therein. ut to the Chinese the idea of convenience, as an end in itself, does not occur.

The Chinese wheelbarrow is used quite as much as a means of progression, as of con- veyance. A'wheelbarrow is cheap, and it con go where a ricsha cannot. A riesha, for'in. stance, is too large a vehicle to go through the narrow, poor alleys of the Shanghai "Native, City. Even if it could do so it would be out of. place. The ricsha is exotic, intended for Europeans, and meant to run on roads. But the Chinese take go care of their roads; they are 40 much more at home in rough, toituous nalive alleyways.

But though the Chinese wheelbarrow stands for all the qualities at which a European laught and for some which he vaguely admires, yet it stands for something else as well. When the 'day is dying, there is something touching and gentle in the sight of a small party of Chinese women being carried along the Bubbling Well Road, or out on the road to Jessfield. They 'sit'on 'either side of the wheel, laughing and chatting happily, whilst the coolie trundles them contentedly along. The hot day is over, and a pleasant breeze fans the branches above their heads, or stirs the fields that lie to right and left. The road windsout behind them, white and dusty, as they move towards the lights of home. They glance auxiously at the carriages which sweep, so fast, beside them, treating them with such scant courtesy and filling them with A vague wonder and distrust.

Would one like them any the better if they drove? Is there not something sacred, even, in their slow, clumsy wheelbarrow? Per- haps the Chinese woman has prerogalivey, just because she is a women.
