Buddhism in China, as in Japan, it may also, be observed just here, is now only a hideous mixture of superstition and fraud. As in the Japanese temples, I saw. believers rub images of men and bulls to cure their own pains, so In the great Buddhist temple at Canton, I found the fat Buddha's body rubbed slick in order to get flesh for thin supplicants, while one of the chief treasures of the' temple is the pair of fortune sticks.

Dr; Richard himself did much effective service by a series of particles and diagrams showing how China compared with other countries in area, population, wealth, revenue, military strength, 'etc; This sort of thing is useful for America as a country, 'for the South as a section, and for individual States.
