Bethune McCartee, who for thirty-seven years was engaged in missionary work in China for the American Board of Foreign Missions, and is now in the diplomatic service of that country, has given a New York Sun reporter some explanations in regard to the attitude of the Chinese toward railways. "To understand the opposition of the Chinese to railroads," said Dr. McCartee, "you must know something about their superstitions. In China, considerations of good and bad upon unfortunate people who had carefully put their houses out of the reach of such influences. The Chinese do not have cemeteries, and tombs are scattered in every direction through the country. Nowhere could a railroad be laid down without desecrating the tombs and lacerating the feelings of the people. When an English company built a railroad from Shanghai to Wóosung—only fourteen miles—people stood on the track crying and beseeching so that it was sometimes necessary to stop the locomotive to put them off. The company never would have obtained a charter from the Chinese authorities had its intention been known. Their application was for permission to build a horse road, which was granted. The protests of the Chinese authorities were disregarded, and the company, sustained by Sir Francis Wade, the British Ambassador at Pekin, carried things with a high hand. There was no traffic for the road, and finally the company sold it to the Chinese Government for a good sum. The railroad was then taken up." "Do you, then, think it impossible ever to introduce railroads in China?" we asked. "I do not say that," replied Dr. McCartee. "The Viceroy of the Empire, Li Hung Chang, is a very able, progressive man, and he is in favor of railroads. He has already a short railway and telegraph line connecting the Government arsenals. He is fully aware of the great advantages to be obtained from railroads. Such a state of affairs as that during the great famine three years ago, when people were dying of hunger in the northern provinces, with plenty of American Board of Foreign Missions, and is now in the diplomatic service of that country, has given a New York Sun reporter some explanations in regard to the attitude of the Chinese toward railways. "To understand the opposition of the Chinese to railroads," said Dr. McCartee, "you must know somthing about their superstitions. In China, considerations of good and bad luck enter into every transaction in life. In their conception, luck is a sort of material substance that can have a course like a wind or a stream. For instance, a house opposite to the junction of a street with the street in which it stands is in an unlucky position. The bad luck that may happen to flow down the opposite street will run right into the house. In such a case, a sign will be put up to keep the bad luck away, such as: "The Stone of the Great Mountain is here." "This refers to the sacred mountains worshipped by the high dignitaries of the empire. Only the Emperor may worship the heaven. Officers of the highest rank worship the sacred mountains; the various powers of nature are worshipped by the lower official grades, and the common people worship their parents and ancestors. It is not at all necessary that a piece of the stone of the sacred mountain shall be there, for the Chinese believe that you can humbug the bad luck by simply declaring that the stone is there. Sometimes they put up a barrier to keep off streams of ill-luck. In front of every Mandarin's office there is a large wall called Pih-Ho-Chang, which means "the wall keeping off calamity." Sometimes measures are taken to divest a stream of bad luck. I know of a house where a road came opposite the back door and then bent around the house. It so happened that several cases of illness occurred in the house, and it was concluded that the trouble arose from a stream of ill-luck pouring down the road into the back door. So they closed the door and made the road zig-zag, so as to diminish the force of the stream. "Gook luck is supposed to flow in the same manner as bad luck. If a man's ancestors are buried in a good place, a stream of good luck flows McCartee. "The Viceroy of the Empire, Li Hung Chang, is a very able, progressive man, and he is in favor of railroads. He has already a short railway and telegraph line connecting the Government arsenals. He is fully aware of the great advantages to be obtained from railroads. Such a state of affairs as that during the great famine three years ago, when people were dying of hunger in the northern provinces, with plenty of rice in the southern, was calculated to display the necessity for means of transportation. They also have felt the need of railroads in military operations. The Chinese Government is progressive. It is building ironclad vessels of war and introducing arms of precision among the soldiers. I think railroads will come in time, but they will be built by the Chinese themselves. The Chinese engineers will make detours to avoid a Fung-shwui place just as our engineers make detours to avoid great natural obstructions. The Chinese railroad may be a queer institution, but it will be adapted to their wants and conveniences." Miners' Compasses MICROSCOPES, MAGNIFIERS, Etc., at the Store of P.

THIS COMPANY IS NOW PREPARED TO RECEIVE AND DELIVER freight at GREATLY REDUCED PRICES around the house. It so happened that several cases of illness occurred in the house, and it was concluded that the trouble arose from a stream of ill-luck pouring down the road into the back door. So they closed the door and made the road zig-zag, so as to diminish the force of the stream. "Gook luck is supposed to flow in the same manner as bad luck. If a man's ancestors are buried in a good place, a stream of good luck flows down the family; if in a bad place, then a stream of bad luck descends. So careful are Chinese in such matters that they will keep a corpse unburied for several years rather than take any risk. They make their coffins very thick, and put packages of quicklime in among the wrappings of the bodies, so that they do not become offensive. I have many a time slept in a room that had such a coffin in it. You must not think that these things are merely the superstitions of the ignorant. Divination is a recognized science in China. The Board of Astronomers of the Empire fix the lucky days for marriage, house building, or travel, and these are published in the official almanacs. And then there are innumerable Fungshwui doctors, whose business is to decide questions of luck. Fungshwui means literally 'wind and water,' but the idea is best represented in England by the word luck. The direction of luck streams are always considered in building, and hence it is that pagodas are always found at the junction of rivers, the forks of roads, or the intersections of valleys. Now, you can imagine how much trouble railway building would cause in China; what innumerable streams of good luck it would cut off, or streams of bad luck it would divert." BANK OF ANAHEIM.
