China at that period wos marching rapidly, forward on the highroad of civilization. In 027 the Emperor T'ai tsuiig mounted the Celestial throne and reigned for twenty three years. Tai-tsungs .successor was a weak monarch, but his wife, who after ward became the celebrated Empress Wu How, was a woman of great ability and she seized the s.eptre. .nominally in the hands of her husband, reigned in his name thirty-three years aud after his death In her own name twenty-two years. I nder these able nionnrchs China became at that time the greatest, the richest the most rowcrful. the most progressive, the most exteusive empire ou the earth. . - The Chinese are a niaterhtlitlc people, giving little concern to a future-state but IrfMit upon getting good out of this life. This idta runs through tn,!.- governmental system, their domestic twIiaU-ua, . their philosophy, their religion.- Their scheme of civilization w as as "good as any, better than most, up to the nineteenth century. The Chinese government Is tolerant of all religions. Confucianism,- -Taoism. Jiud dliisin, and Molmmii)cdanlsm flourish, har moniously, side by side, lfeligions wars have never desolated China; and, in this particular, the Chinese are vastly superior to the Caucasians of Euroiie.- -where for a thousand years the laud was deluged with the blood of religious coiiTOPt'-'' : The Chinese ae unwarljkei patient, peaceable, contented, law-abiding.; ' bey progress slowly but methodically and cor rectly.

Nothing eould be more preposterous than the ancient fable which supplements au historical account of the origin of the Alnos, the aborigines of Japan.

' A deserted canoe lay stranded on the beach, and pushing the little craft out Into the midnight sea, she and her companion ctubnrkvd. on their luiaardous voyage for an unknown port. . At last after many hard ships, privations and ndveutures the tiny bark touibeO on a rocky, mountainous coast. She landed and drew up the canoe ou the. sand and went in search of food and shelter. But the country was- bleak, iiiiliih.'ililtcd and Inhospitable. The prin cess and the dog sought lu vain far and wide for succor. . After many mouths f wandering the princess at last reached a cave In the mountains aud there gave birlh to twius a lioy nud a girl. Thesn babies grew up half wild In tlie forest and when they became adults bred children between theniselveft and their offspring; some of them married with each other and some of them .with' the bears or the mountains. Tbe progeny of the bears were men of great strength and ferocity und their skins were hairy. Thes nix the Aiuos. . This is the absurd and fantastic legend of liu- aborigines of Japan.
