A.NCICNT CHINESE LITERATURE.
How Recotds Were Kept ? Books Cast
From Moulds.
Il is now absolutely certain ihat
neither ? lay, ha lie:-, parchment nor
lilt- papyrus was a! any date ever lined
by i he ancent Chinese for the purpose
of making irroids, which l'art alone
/.oiK'S far lo negative any prehistoric
< < nneo:ion with Hgypi, liabylonia or
Persia, touching which, ntoreT.or, there
is no! ihe faintest specific evidence
tc be f(;u ud in f'a.;;eii! or Western rec
crds.
It seems ;;!.-o equally certain that
'he Chinese never used a metal style
to MT;ir<h character:-- upon wood, bam
boo or palm leaies, as natives of India
lor instance, lianyaa bankers ? may
Le s vn do: n ;; .any day, even now. not
only i ji India itself but also in SitiKa
poie and p"rhaps Ik.ngkong.
What the Chinese used was a slick
. r stylo of bamboo, r.uh as one or two
of ihe older historians describe as be
ing very like the Chinese joiners' "ink
stick" or "wooden stick and line"
of the sixteenth century (when first
mentioned ), and also like that of to- j
day. As there were and are no bam
boos in Khoten the natives, and prob
ably also the Chinese of that place, in
imitating as best they could their own
bamboo slips and styles had perforce
to avail themselves of the tamarisk, a
tree which. I he Russian traveller t'iz- j
ewalski found thirty years ago aJl
over ihe Taritu valley. I
Prom the most ancient times Ink had i
la en employed in China chlelly for the
purpose of bnirl tins; the foreheads of;
criminals, but it had also been used
eonru : rent ly with varnish, for inscrib
ing bamboo and w?>.>d*n tablets with
Written counnanh a: ions. Presumably
the ink w;.v< the j..: -1 :*? iti both < ases.
For books not him: but baiaboo -ei?.ns
in h;:ve been used, except that records
of dynastic? import :? mo and stale laws
were also occasionally cast from molds
upon metal uipo.ls in order to secure!
permanency. As the bamboo stem is
usually no thicker than a bran ly bot
tle it follow.-. !ha the plane surface
available for writing characters iould

My First Real Rifle.
For tho money I 'received for
Christmas 1 bought a four to -en-shot
rop< c-ifng rlflo. It shoots 22-calibre
shorts only and ejects the exploded
'shell out of the side.
One flue day during vacation my
hroiln r < who also has a rifle) and
1 \v< nt aerjVs Hudson Itiver on tlnT
Foil Lee l'erry to the Palisades for
target shooting. We set up (wo tar
M"*. one at a distance of 125 feet
?..::d i \w other *5 fe? t, In less than
iv o hours we found that neither of
us was a good shot at a long dis
tance. because after firing about
thirty shots each we r.ad lilt the
target only five times, and none oj
these were in the centre.
We had belter luck with the target
at a shorter distance, hitting It about
thirty times out of forty shots. Four
of these shots came a quarter of an
inch from the bull's-eve.
f ho*:e that all the "Little Men"
will enjoy the experience of i?hoot
and tine rifle, for it's great sport
and fine training. ? eorge C. Cooper,

Charley.
Charley is a white rut and is very
tame. He lives in a cage tilled with
hay, in which he burrows, and
sleeps almost al! day. Toward even
ing he will come out and run about
the house. Then we start a little
distance from the cage and. call him,
and he will come to us, take food
from our hands and carry it to his
cage to save until he is hungry.
The door of his cage is usually
open, but one day. when it happened
| to be closed. though unfastened,
j Charley, wanting to come out, push
|cd it open with one of his forefeet.
| and held it there, while he looked
| out. as if to see that all was safe.
I Sometimes he will run away and
hide. One day after looking almost
; everywhere- for him, we found him
I covered with soot, crawling out of
an ' id stovepipe In the attic.
At first our cat followed him about
as if she would like to catch him,
and I e woi:!d always run to his cage
and hide, but one day he turned
| and chased her :il! around the room,
itnd now she lets him alone, and
(often jumps on a chair to get out of
j his way.
| We have other pets, but I think
Charley the most interesting. ? Annie

Misfortune of the Sugar Bowl.
A china closet stood In the east
corner of the dining room. Among
the many valuable pieces in the
closet was a susar howl. This sugar I
howl was white and gold, and was
imported from France. It km w of
its' beauty and looked upon the other
china pieces as if they were of no
value. One day the maid put the
bowl on the table with other pieces.
?"I told yon I would be selected,"
called the bowl to its neighbors. "I
am handsome, and articles like me
are seldom found."
"Why is it you have such a high
opinion of yourself?" m< -:*kly asked a
little blue pitcher.
"I came from France," said the j
bowl. It was about to continue the I
conversation when someone said.
"Please pass me the sugar?" This
time he was placed beside a salt
shaker.
"Oh. you insignificant thing!" the
bowl said to the shaker.
"What?" said the shaker, in amaze
ment.
The bowl was about to continue
the conversation when he was taken
out Into the kitchen. There, the
maid placed it beside some glasses.
The bowl began telling more of his
history, but was interrupted by a
glass. ?
"I shine all day, and my life is
more useful than yours. Everyone
admires my sparkling appearance."
"You are mistaken," said the
bowl, "I never hear anyone speak of
you individually. but when they
speak of me thfy say 'That sugar
bowl.' "
It was continuing to boast of Its
history when it felt itself falling,
falling ? when at last it reached the
floor in nieces. It was then put in
the ash barrel to be carried away
by the ash man.
The other pieees of china were
glad of the sugar bowl's absence,
but thev little knew of the bowl's
misfortune. 'Hie occupants of the
china closet lived in happiness until
the mistress nf the house purchased
another sunn r bowl. This one was
still more beautiful, yet it never had
a boastful word. Although it never
boasted, it was .continually quarrel

Hill, who Is by far at present ?ho

aiul (ho text, Itovplfttloii l;9; "I.
John, your brot her and companion In
tribulation, ptul in the kingdom and
patience of J csus, Christ. " Mr, Hill
said :
Patience. doi-B not appeal to us as
a regal quality. Why should a king
wait? Having power to accomplish
at once, why should be hear with tho
duluess and obduratencss of his sub
jects'.' Commanding swift agencies,
why should he delay their execution?
And right here wo encounter a seem
ing contradiction; our text introduces
a divine interpretation. It teaches
that kingship is not divorced from pa
tience, hut bound up with it; that
th<5 divine kingdom is inherited
through patience; and that' spiritual
sovereignty is acquired not by a sin
gle bound, but through tho long,
plodding pilgrimage which patience
alone can make. This is a truth
which permeates the entire spiritual
economy, finding Its supreme exem
plification in the being and nature o?
God.
Christianity Is solitary in its rev
elation of patience as a quality of
Cod. No pagan god was ever crowned
with this virtue. The coarse mind of
man n?-ver evolved a gentle deity.
