CHINA REAL LAND OF CASTE
Conditions There Declared by Travel-
ers to Outclass Even Those Exist-
ing in East India.
Chinamen have more caste even thah
the East Indians. They say you never
find orte Chinaman in a low condition
of life but you will find him employ-
ing another Chinaman In a still lower
condition. The small Chinese farmer
employs a servai l. to whom he Is
lord and master. This menial Is com-
pelled to serve him In any capacity
that may be required. For Instance,
when the small Chlne-e farmer takes
a nig to market lie does not do it as
the Irishman does, by driving the pig
along the road. So, he first kliis the
pig, or makes his "hired man" do It.
| ihen the pig Is carefully packed on
i ° ^ sl'le of a single wheeled vehicle
something like a v heelharrow; The
weight of the proprietor may Just bal-
ance flint r-f the pig. but if It is great-
, er. then a few boulders are added to
even things Up. The Wuoie apparatus
U then wheeled along the road by the
, hired man, the Chinese proprietor ,
meanwhile placidly smoking his pipe.

Adorable Shams,
In the course of a lecture on "Early
Kngllsh Itcnuissance Architecture and
Some Practleul Considerations," which
H. P. Oglesby delivered, the lecturer
remarked that "sham" was not a nice
word; but the outer dome of St. Paul's
cathedral was an auorable sham. Wren
said: "I am going to give you a beau
tiful dome outside, and an appropriate
dome inside, and what they are made
"f. or how they support my stone lan
tern and cross, weighing 700 tons. I?
my business and nobody else's.'
Neither of the domes In any way sup
ported ti e lant. rn. The upper por
tions of the interior of st. Peter's at
Koine were, he added, shams—cleverl
decorated to look like murble. Most of
the great Palladio's best works at
N icenza and other places was sham
merely stucco laid on brickwork, but
none the less beautiful In form; and
our own architect Nash introduced
stucco into London, as In Kegent
street and elsewhere.—London Times.

the View from the plateau overlooking

rivers, waterfalls, of a lake of sap-

together a picture of enchanting beau-
ty. The magnificence of its historical

the ages, and some of their Icelandic

other nations. The spoken language
of tndny differs so little from that
of the Twelfth century that the Sa.-as
