Toleration in Maim. President Yuan Shi Kai has issued a mandate explaining that in proscribing the worship of Confucius he does not establish Confucianismas the official,' form of worship for the people of other religions. "The choice of religions is still left to the people," and diversities of faith front whatever cause will be re- spected. But the President intends to see to it that the sages of old'shall have due hon- er and that:political changes shall not deprive them of their worship. The President steps into the place of the Emperor upon the highest terrace of the Altar of Heaven, formerly reputed to be the centre of the onlverse, that he may there intercede with the,Deity in behalf ot the toiling minions Whose lot is little cheesed laY the passing of the old order and the humiliation of the Ma nchus. It was a Malichu edict of seven years ago that required formal veneration of Confucius in the schools and put this worship on 0 parity with that of heaven and earth. Yuan SISI Kai's edict en- hances the standing of thls worship but couples it with the enunciation of 0 broad system of ioleration unknown to bigoted Manchus. It is in line with his conciliatory attitude towayd ad- herents of the Christian faith, with which Confucianism has many points of resemblance. Els action in order that "the sacrifice olTering to heaven shall be a universal ceremony" Will be a half -way measure. between Buddhism on onti side and agnosticism on the other, which may open the way to a wide acceptance of Christianity.

In the heart of the snow -clad Rockies'hundreds of miles west of Edmenton, lies 0, lake whose watens are always troubled, into which a large river flows but out of which there is .110 visible exit. The lea -dei of a forest stavey party sent out by the 1)ominio3l Forestry Breech to examine the forests in this wild re- gion states that the Tackans shun this lake .115 the abode of evil spi- rits, and, to give credence to this superstition, from time to time deep rumblings mai be heard where far below the surface the water swirls -through t,he hidden outlet. The river that enters the lake rush- ed from a sideterramean ceve many miles down the vaney, the pco110l of whioh no man has ever yet passed.
