i CHINA’S GREAT WALL A MYTH.
Surprising Statements Made by a
D “ French Missionary.
iVom the London Times.
Abbe Larrieu, formerly a missionary in
fhina> has published a pamphlet, (Paris,
Leroux,) on the Great Wall of China, to
demonstrate that this structure does not
-list and has never existed. The popular
belief is that this wall stretches for about
gyo leagues across China, from the sea to
the province of Kau-Su, that itis wholly con
structed of cut stone, and 30 cubits high by
12 broad. It is believed to run straight on
regardless of obstacles, going down valleys
-ud up mountains, without a break, except
mch as time has made, along its whole
course. This notiou originated with a
Jesuit named Martini, who visited China
about 1650, and his description was followed
bv susequent writers. M. Larrieu has
jjVed for several years under what would
have been the shadow of the Great Wall
had there been one; he has studied the
writings of recent writers—especially Abbe
jj uc _who have crossed the liue of the
alleged wail in various places; he has like
wise studied the Chinese history of the sub
ject, and his conclusions are as follow: (1)
The’term “Great Wail” is at the bottom of
all the misunderstanding, and it comes from
the Chinese expression, “the wall of the ten
thousand li;” (3) as described by Martini
and other writers who have copied him,
this wall does not and never did exist; (3) a
Chinese Emperor undoubtedly did conceive
the idea of a great wall from the Gulf of
Liao-Long on the east to Kan-8u on the
west and this, though never realized, had a
beginning; (41 along the proposed line of
the wall square towers of earth, or of earth
faced with brick, were constructed at con
siderable distances from each other, but
these were never joined together by any
wallas was originally intended. In some
of the defiles along the route there are
walls, but these were intended to close
these particular passages, or they are
merely the walls of villages, and are not
parts of a larger scheme. Hence the only
part of the scheme of the Great Wall ear
ned out was the construction of these
scattered towers; the rest never went be
yond the brain that conceived it; it was
never more than fancy, and it is now a
myth. This huge Chinese wall, says Abbe
Larrieu, is a lnifre Chinese lie, and as for
the million soldiers which were said to
guard it night and day, they are myths
likewise. The alleged Great Wall is a
favorite excursion for Europeans visiting
Pekin, and ssuch a question as whether it
exists at all or not should be an easy one to
settle definitely.
A COMBINATION DOOR-MAT.
Something New in the Way of Meet
ing People at the Door.
From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
“Have you seen the latest in door mats?”
asked a furniture dealer yesterday of the
Telegraph.
The reporter had not.
“Come in and look at it,” and the furni
ture man laid at his feet wdiat appeared to
be a common everyday wipe-the-mud-off
vour-feet mat, such as can be seen at any
body’s door.
-This is a combination mat,” he said,
“and has an electric wire connection with
the door-bell. You see this sprinkling of
red straw mixed all in with yellow? Well,
by certain touches these red straws are
thrown together and a word instantly ap
pears. See here!”
The furniture man gave the mat a pecu
liar manipulation, and the word “welcome”
stood out in bold, red letters. Auother
touch, and “good day” appeared. Another
touch and “good-bye” was visible.
“Now the beauty of this mat lies in the
fact that it is capable of working some
twenty combinatioos, and all are dependent
upon the amount ol' force used in pulling
the door bell or the will of the operator,
who can be seated at a window in any room
of the house. Now. when there is a gentle
pull at the bell, the word ‘welcome’ is shown
to the visitor. This generally means
a lady caller. A little stronger
pull and the mat shows ‘come in.’
This means a neighbor. A very
strong pull and the words ‘no books to-day’
store the book agent in the face. An extra
s:rong pull, one calculated to wake up the
baby and everybody else, and the words
'don't want any vegetables’ jump to the
surface. Now the lady of the house can also
operate it from her place at the window. If
she sees somebody coming she does not waat
to see, the mat reads, ‘not at home.’ When
a country cousin conies inti > the front yard
to spend a month the mat bears the words,
‘our cook is sick.’ If you want to close
up the house for the summer, the
mat can be left with the words ‘beware of
the dog.’ If you are anuoyed by people
who want to sell you a bed-spring, serving
machine attachment, or something of the
kind, give them the mat to read ‘chestnut.’
b hen the man with a little bill swings open
the gate let the mat tell him to ‘call again.’
Ho you can see to what great use this great
mat can be put. It is invaluable. Shall I
send one round to your house?”
The reporter ordered a couple.
A Rejoinder to Wong: Chin Foo—By
Tan Phou Leo.
From the North American Revico.
I draw a sharp distinction between relig
ion and ethics. Religion pertains to the
heart. Ethics deals more with outward
conduct. Religion inculcates principles.
Ethics lays down rules. Religion without
ethics is like a disembodied spirit: ethics
without religion is a body from which the
wul has hed. The most intelligent form of
heathenism, namely, Confucianism, never
taught the “relations and acts of individ
uals toward God,” the Ruler of the Uni
verse. Confucius inculcated a lofty moral
ity. but left religion to shift for itself.
’ Bom and reared a heathen, I learned
and practiced its moral anti religious code”
bv worshipping the prescribed number of
idols, and I was useful to others, though not
to myself, because I helped to fatten the les
sees of the temples, incense venders and idle
priests. “My conscience was clear,” because
'knew not what 1 was doing,” “and my
hopes as to the future, life were undimmed
by distracting doubt,” simply because they
"ere never very bright. In fact, I was not
precocious enough to think much on the
subject.
Christianity has demonstrated its fitness
to supply my spiritual needs. Its authen
ucity as a history no reasonable man can
wny. I believe, I accent its truths, as I
hope to be happy in this life and to enjoy a
blessed immortality in the life to conic.
Bo you wonder that lam a Christian f I
cordially invite all heathens, whether
American, or English, or Chinese, to come
•o the Saviour. ’
Cads and Cowboys.
From the London Newt.
Many of the cowboys are married and
have their wives and children living with
them in camp, and they do not, much enjoy
bas ing the path outside their home besieged
by a staring mob, who. perhaps, under the
impression that the English language is not
spoken in Texas, and make the loudest and
treest comments on the fittings and the in
habitants of the tent. A vulgar cad prolm
bly delights to show his fair companion how
witty he can be at the expense of the cow
boys and t heir families. It cannot bo pleas
ant on a warm summer evening to have to
'haw the curtains of one's tent prematurely;
imt neither can it be ploasant to have to
S1 lor an hour under the eyes of a staring,
Pinning, jeoring crowd. The cowboy* in
general are very good tempered ami civil.
Lately one of them offered mild remon
ranee to a thoroughly typical cad, who
a -s making his female companion very
Jiierry with his comments ns they stood in
, middle of a little mob of starers pressed
‘'gainst the very ropes that wall off the
H hy do you stand there all the time and
jmd jeer like that f the cowboy asked;
"fi •' .WU ought, to have more sense.”
l. Bare say you Yankees have come over
A us sense,” was the cad’s smart re
