COUNTRY OF FOUR RELIGIONS.
China Seeminnly Should Be Land of
Great Piety.
Of the late Chinese., emperor it may
he said, as It has hen of his subjects.
that. Yin was born a Confucian, lived 1
a Tnolst, and died a Buddhist. China
Indd ban four state -established re
Helen, and In ach the emperor en-ft-elsow
fc.n-ei dotal functions. Twice n
y. ar the emperor, as "Son of Heaven,"
worships before the' tablet of Shang
Ti or . Supreme Heaven in accordance
tl;h the ancient Imperial monotheism.
1 wice a yesr he burns Incense before
the tablets of hts ancestors in accord
ance with Confucianism. Twice a
year he sacrifices to the gods of
Taoism and twl"e a yar to the image
of Hund!. The .ancient .and primi
tive religion of Chtna Is monotheistic,
luit thlR firt worship was regarded bs
too sublime for the people, so. that
it. became irr.rrvc.1 for the emperor
nlone as the Son of Heaven and as
pri'ist of the nation. The people on
their part worshiped their ancestors
bti'I It was the ancestral religion
which Confucius Identified himself
with and reformed. The old supersti
tions rejected by Confucius were ab
(M.ilel by Taoit.ni, which Is polytheis
tic and the religion of the populace.
Then Imddhism came into China about
63 A. I)., and, .like the other three
relishes, became state-supported and
state-endowed.

TENDENCY OF INTEREST RATES ALL OVER THE WORLD IS DOWN
WARD NEARLY ALL LINES OF BUSINESS ARE QUIET
STEEL AND IRON PRICES ARE BEING ; REDUCED TO LOWER
LEVELS WHEN TARIFF QUESTION IS SETTLED BUSINESS
WILL NO DOUBT TAKE A FRE6H AND VIGOROUS START IN
CONSEQUENCE OF THE ACCUMULATION OF DEFERRED OR
DERS, SAYS BANKER CLEWS,
Special.
New York, Feb. 20. Moneyi is easy
everywhere. Not only in New York
but in Paris, Frankfort and Berlin
the tendency of interest rates is still
downward. This, of course, is main
ly due to tho depression prevailing
in comm-erce and industry In all parts
of the world. As a result capital is
accumulating and diligently see
every fo.rm of safe and profitable em
ployment. The effect of this situa
tion upon the security markets Is
marked, in tho first place, it causes
a good demand for high grade invest
ments from conservative Mvtst.ors
and institutions, who have more re
gard for preservation of principal
than either dividends or speculative
profits. At the same time another
class of buyers, viz., the general pulv
lie, continues to abstain from the
market, partly because of the dull
ness of business and diminution of
profits lessens their purchasing abil
ity, nnd partly because they recog
nize that the prices of average stocks
are much too high in view of existing
conditions. The insiders and big
market leaders have successfully re
sisted any important decline thus
far owing to the abundance of cheap
money. There are reasons for believ
ing, however, that those whose, pol
icy It was to support the market and
resist natural tendencirta have ac
cumulated all, if not more than, the
stocks they desire, and that in tno
absence of buyers their position is
anythng but a sutsfaetory one, nnt-
wtiistanding their unquestioned finan
cial strength.
Resist Natural Tendencies.
For some months past all the re
sources and skill of the great leaders-have'
b.-MU concentrated upon the
purpose of resisting natural tenden
cies. .Considering the great slirinK-
age 111 railroad iraiue, huh me m
ouestionod dullness In business,
prices ought to have undergone a
.nimideralile reaction. Such has
been the course in nil previous panics
and it is difficult to appreciate why
the results should be n iy different
now. 1 .ici'J is no uuuui me ivminj
following the rebound alter the. panic
was too violent, naving ueeu uuuui,
Unuilated by the inflationary effect
t f cheap money and the powerjm co
rporation of great financiers.
Steel Prices Being Cut.
It is tills lack of confidence among
buyers that has much to do with the
present inertia of business. Nearly
all lines of business today are ex
ceedingly quiet, th? only signs of
healthy activity being where, for in
stance, in cotton -goods, a thorough
readjustment has already taken pln.ee
Iron and steel prices arc now being
reduced to still lower levels. But
AN ANCIENT RACE DYING OUT.
Veddahs, of Ceylcn Regarded as Rep
resenting the Stone Age,
The oldest Inhabitants of Ceylon are
passing away. These are tho famous
Veddahs.
Fifty years ego it was estimated
that 8,000 of them were still living In
the forests, but Dr. Max Moszkowskl,
who "has recently visited them, says
there are only 60 or 60 of them still
nlive and that a few more years will
see the end of their race.
Tho Veddahs have interested an
thropologists because they have been
regarded as the best living types of
the man of the stone age.
The attitude of the Cingalese toward
them Is remarkable. They hold the
poor creatures in great honor and rank
them as belonging to the highest casto
in the island. Th reason is that they
are reputed to have descended from
the ancient demons or spirits that
were, the original possessors of the
island.
These nomad, hunting people, never
leaving their forest3, living under
trees and In caves, without knowl
edge of pottery or any other art ex
cept that of making bows and arrows,
are. perishing because of their way of
living and of their inability to stand
up when stronger folk are pressing
closer around them. They are exact
ly what they wero centuries ago when
people of India came and conquered
their green Island.
INURED TO POVERTY AND TOIL.
Natives of . Shantung Province Live
Lives of Wretchedness.
Of Shantung province. China, a cor
respondent writes: "A little more
than a generation ago one of the
greatest famines in the memory of
man spread devastation in the great
over-populated sections of the west of
this province and now famine faces
the stoical toilers of tho land once
again. The Shantungesd Illustrate
well the law of the survival of the
fittest, for such dire poverty only per
mits the strong ones to live, with the
result that A flnj sturdy men of great
endurance all over this province. Wr
ing on the land, which barely produces
a sufficiency for Shantung's teeming
millions, the people have become
hardy, for. they are hardened to all
kinds of privations. Their brains are
cte.jened by ceaseless toll and tbli
needless to say, though this has at
tracted many orders, buyers are
still unsettled because action has
been deferred, and the market has
not yet been sufficiently tested by
competition between buyers a,) sell
01s. Mui cover, the. dullness in trade
is being further aggravated by .tariff
sgltntlon. While tariff talk does" not
lessen tho amount of food consume 1.
clothes worn or shelter required, still
the uncertainty has a restraining ef
fect upon new ventures ami strength
ens the determination of buyers ti
preserve a hand.-to-mnuth policy. No
doubt when the tariff question is set
tled business will Instantly take a
vigorous Mart in consequence of th-
accumulation of deferred onion; so
that the total volume ef business
over an extended' period will have
suffered little or nothing During
tho interval, however, much hesita
tion will prevail and must be endured
until the tariff revision is s' tt!ed.
Demand Increasing.
On the one hand, we have uni
versal ease in money ami prospects
of Us continuance until the autumn
in spite of government withdrawal
of deposits, gold exports and possible
Increased demands incidental to the
first of April. The good inquiry for
bonds and high class slocks is cer
tainly encouraging. I.ondor bus
been a larger investor of American
securities than for some time past
and the general strength f the f r
eign markets will, of cour-e, exert a
beneficial influence here. On the
other hand, the prospects of con
tinued dullness in trade in the
United States, the outlook for irritat
ing tariff discussion pud the fact that
neither securities nor commodities
have yet undergone an adequate de
cline all tend to unsettle confidence
In tho future of the stock market.
The new administration will shortly
by sworn in, nnd a reasuiring and
eneouraglng message is confidently
expeced from President-elect Taft.
The effect of this however, can only
he temporary, unless there should be
a material change in ether vital con
ditions. The natural tendency of
prices Is to seek a more normal
level, nnd the situation would be tin
queslionably bfmeiittrd by a gralua!
re adjustment. It U simply a 'ques
toin el, how long., artificial rc sislauce,
powerfully aided by - cheap money,
can hold in cheek natural forces.
The market is quite likely to witness
sharp rallies on any favorable de
velopments of importance, but the
prevailing tendency must be towards
a lower level until the tariff Is set
tled nnd business begins to show
signs of geuine improvement.
HENRY CLEWS.
may account ror'ine repuieu imvmu
ne3 of this province in progress along
commercial end Industrial lines. A
less long-suffering people would have
a revolution every year. It is an
axiom with westerners that discon
tent Is an absolute condition of prog
ress, and we who live among the
Chinese know there can hardly be a
race in the world so contented as they
are, considering their lot. This is one
of the factors which makes the regen
eration of China such an enormous
problem."
. The Sickroom Bugbear.
The great bugbear of the sickroom
Is monotony. This is the problem that
every pursa must meet and study
ways and means to prevent. She may
do this in several ways.. She may
alter the appeamnre of the .room oc
casionally by pushing the bed or sofa
to a different part of the room in or
der to give the j.atitnt a fresh out
look; the cut flowers may be roplacod
by a growing plant; old magazines and
books may be removed and new ones
take their place; the pictures may be
changed, especially those that hang at
the foot of the bed, or perhaps, a
blank wall may be found to be. restful
to the tired eyes. Circle Magaiine.
The Avesta.
In Its, present form the Avesta Is
only a fragment of the original Zoro
astrian scriptures. It is generally un
derstood that those ancljnt scriptures
consisted of 20 odd books of a million
verses. The destruction of the two
original copies, the one at Persepolis.
the other at Samarkand, is attributed
to Alexander the Great. The Avesta,
being only Imperfect remnants of
these originals, is in. compass equal
to about one-tenth of our Bible.
The Secret.
"What Is the secret of leading a
successful double life?"
"Keeping the two Hve3 parallel.
Once they converse, the devil Is to
cay."
Been There Before.
A new cons'.":!i! was on duty at one
tit the Loudon police courts, and was
ccradiirtln3 a prisoner ta the cells.
"Mind the step," he said, as they
came to a dark earner.
"A!! rieht" muttered the pj-lrionw;
"I knew that step before you were

Curious Proclamation I. I;sued
New Chinese Errperor.
by
Washington. "Our late emperor
ruled the empire for thirty and four
years. He kept on his clothes through
the night and leok bis food afte
dark, earnestly devoting himself to
the work of government. We hoped
that bis glory would be Kins' enduring
uud that he would live to complete the
reorganization of government. Hut
the 'sacred body' was too frail. On
the-twenty-first day of the tenth moon
of the thirty-fourth year of Kwang

the great succession; the 'divine uten

Captain Herbert Winslow, V. 8. N.,
who is executive officer at the Charles

covered that an entrance gate had

mediately assumed the man's placo

was manned by a new marine cuard
Captain Winslow stuck It out In the

would be If we sold w'.'iskles, but

out of ten gets ugly and quarrelsome
when he drinks whisky, but, no man
who drinks wine shows his true na
