When I read dreary vol- umes from the Sunday school library in a little Ontario village in those 800d old days, I remember with what disgust I drew a slim red-backed mis- sionary production on China and tha Chinese, and I still recall with what sinking of the glad animal spirits of youth I listened to the lengthy ad- dress of a returped blackcoat from the celestial kingdom. To me in that far-off epoch, China was a country of pig-tatls and idols in Which I had precious small interest. But times LINES have changed and the Chinese with them, and now 1 sit down to regis.

To us China is a land o? opposites. Mr. High has made an |amusing list to illustrate this state- ment. "In reading a book," he says, "the Chinese begin in the back and read toward the front, and instead of reading across they read up ani down the page. Chinese boatmen, instead of sitting down and rowiag with their back toward the point of destination, stand up and face for- ward. The most luxurious beds in China are not soft, but hard. Courte- ous Chinese in meeting a stranger shake thelr own hand instead of his, and in speaking a name, do not say 'Mr. Jones' but 'Jones Mr.' A Chin- ese lad wishing to pare an apple, *a- ther than hold the apple still ana move the knife, holds the knife stil] and 'moves tho apple. Horses are mounted on the right side instead of on the left, and the place of honor 1s always the left. The old men play marbles and fly kites, while the chil- dren gravely watch them. A coftin is a most acceptable present to a rich parent in good health. Tha roads have no carriages, the ships have n» keels, and the seat of the intellect 1s the stomach. It is rude to rémove tha hat, white clothes are worn for mourning, the men wear gowns and the women trousers. In such a country it is not strange that we should find a literature without an alphabet, a language without a grammar and wemen to whom the greatest compliment is conveyed when one asks their age." S---- But Yellow Men are not Decadent. Thess things, however, are not of much importance. What this writ- er and observer impreeses upon us is the fact that the yéllow men of the east are away ahead of the peo- ples of the west in many respects. When they assimilate what we can teadh them it is likely that they will be the ablest race in the world. Mr. High quotes a prominent educator and legation adviser who has been in China for the last quarter of a century as saying, "Most of us who have spent twenty-five years or mores out here come to feel that the yel- low race is the normal human type, while the white race is the 'sport.' The old Chinese culture which was stereotyped is now undergoing a breaking-up process. Already the old literary language has been thrown into the discard, a simple al- phabet devised, and the vernacular Speech is being used even by h The old cast-iron examination sys- tem, founded upon memory tests, has been cast aside and the Chinesa intellectual is at fast able to think for himself. And he has a very powerful brain. It is folly to think {that he is decadent: | assimilation and of jal thinking are marvellous. And one {of the most remarkable presages for ithe future fruitfulness of Chiness {brains is that the lowlfest father in | | the humblest village In that old Jan has an ambition that his boy will be come a scholar. During all the ages of her history China has magnifies the scholar, giving him first place the body politic. -------- The Chinese Have a Passion for Work. i According to Mr. High, one of tha | outstanding traits of the Chinaman | {1s his passion for labor. He has a | | hard struggle to keep himself and his! Tamily alive but the economic ne- cessity does not make him discon- | tented, for he is a very cheerful per- son and really seems to enjoy hard | work. His industry is indeed pheno- | menal. "We have frequently gone to | sleep," says one traveller, "hearing | the sound of a rice huller, or a black- smith hammering on his anvivl, and have awakened in the morning with the same sounds continuing, as if the labor had lasted throughout thy night." Whether a Chinaman is ®¢ exalted station or a rice paddy, he is a glutton for work. It fs related of the late empress dowager that she was In the habit of summoning her ministers to council long before dawn. Industry and thrift go to- gether in China. Consequently we read that a Chinese farmer can sup- port a household of twenty from the products of half an acre. It is a fre quent sight to see three crops grow- ing in the same field but at differ- one nearly ready to harvest, one just coming up, in | | i i | In trading also the Chinese are ex- They have an instinct for bargaining. Keen as they are, however, they are scrupulousiy honest. . Some excellent stories to fi- lustrate this quality are to be found in Mr. High's pages, Altogether he proves abundantly that the Chinese are an exceedingly virile race, so much so that it seems possible that close | | | | |unless the white race becomes more | at the | industrious and more intelligent it | to ride may have to forfeit the place of | world leadership.

I have two other boys and a girl to educate. The little fellow's question set me thinking: I figured that the safest and most direct way would be to consult a friend of mine who is an agent for the Mutual Life of Canada, and he advised me to take the 'Child's Endowment Policies' issued by that company. "Under these policies the amount is payable to the child upon reaching a specified age. Should the child die in the interval the premiums are returned. Should the parent die the premiums cease but the policy is paid to the child just the same at maturity : should both the child and father die before maturity the amount will be paid to the assured's estate, "I took his advice and now carry policies guarantee- ing absolutely the cost of an education to each of the four children as soon as they reach the age where a college course would naturally begin."
