Japanese war there were great pre-
Olutiens aft to what would happen. 11

that the Glanerie were among lhe
best selollem in the world, tame they
ware the most estate leaders, and the
bravest followers of dny people on
earth, teethes a lot, more of the same
tenor.
Now, as a matter of foot, mean or
eight centuries ago. China Was at, her
best and Europe was at her woret.
The methods of moderh warfare had
not yet been evolved, and the people
who we're tbe best horsemen, coakl
shoot best with the bow, throw the
spear with the greatest foems and ac-
ouraoy, and at the same time be-
siege cities for the loagest Periods,
were most likely to win, and as all
Bute ihiugs were right in line with
the accomplishments of the Mongo-
lian, they were able to do what they
did toward the eubjegation. of a large
part of Asia -especially the less ea
vilized portion -and at the sasne time
frigaten a large part of Europe.
From h
the fleet those who have{ liv-
ed en China ave had no confidence
in the Chinese army. There are
practically no "good tmen" in it. It
is little lase than a combinatiOn of
thieves, rascals, beggars and hood-
lums. They know nothing about die-
eiplinel they know nothing abeatt the
arM of war ; they know nothing about
international courtesy, the taking
care of the sick and the wounded; they
know nothing above either paying or
dressing their soldiers in a way which
Ls calculated to develop either patrio-
tism' or self-respect. Nobody ever
heard of a Chinese soldier who was
ready to ate for the flag. He rally
fight because he hates the eneraye or
because there is the hope of pleader.
but'he knows nothing 'shout the "love
your enemy" principles In time of
war, if, indeed, he does in time of
peace.
When this is said about the ,Chinese
soldier, let it .be understood that it
18 with the greatest possible respect
and admiration for the Chinese char-
acter and people. They are a liter-
ary and not a warlike people. They
are not drivers of the sword, but of
the quill -or, more properly, the
brush. They are the originators of
everything that has thus far come
from Eastern Asia which has con-
tributed to Oriental civilization. War
brutalizes, but the Chinese produc-
Eons have contributed to the devel-
opment of the arts of peace.
The following incident will indicate
bee character of those "great Gen-
erals" as they appeared at the begin-
ning of ton Chinese -Japanese war ;
When a certain General was about to
go over to drive the Japanese out of
Corea ea was asked if he knew the
geography of Corea. "Geography of
Corea!" said he, "What do I °are
abaut the geography or Corea 1 1 will
just go over there and have two or
three eagagemonts with them and
that will be an end of it. There is
no use of my bothering myself.. about
the geography of EIS eleuntry."

his army was able to put down the
Mohammedan rebellion, which was

than men, they Aimee the Seine duelers
to perform day by day. They rise at
the satne Lime, have their meals at
stated intervals, superintend this or
that liousehoei duty on given days,
and retire to rest at about the same
hour. They have their worries -the
children fall ill or the servants give
Mouble-but these are light compar-
ed with the anxieties to which men
are 'subject,.
Men, either through necessity or
ne.glect, do not maintain the same
regularity in the times of rising, eat-
ing and retiring. They are more
given to pleasure that takes therm out
of the groove, and as 1.1 is Upon them
that falls the responsibility of keep -
Mg, the house together by providing
the necessary financial resources,
they are Subjected to business wor-
ries and troubles of tvhich their part-
nere know little or nnthine.
Even where a woman remains single
and has to earn her own living, she
is not troubled to tbe same extent;
see is less ambitioes, is satisfied with
a little, and that little is earned with
more eerie,.
Another thing to be borne in mind
is that by nature women is intended
for household. duties, and, therefore.
she its doing work which the likes; if
she does not actually take Pleasure
in it, at least it does not annoy her.
