The Chinese of New York, by Helen F. Clark, In the November Cent:iry! UNEARTHING A MARINERS TREASUREIN SOUTH AFRICA. A Stone With stone The Old Po-tSailor to Hurled for Two History Where Leava Their Letter Centurlea. al led STONE has just been unearthed in South Africa which bids fair to take its place among the historic stones of the world, in the estimation of the people of that part of the globe at least. It is the old Postal Stone," beneath which, for at least two centuries, the mariners who touched at what is now Cape Town were wont to deposit their letters to await the visit of the next homeward or outward bound vessel. It is of hexagonal shape, about five feet in diameter, and bears in old English lettering the date of 1622. After this homely auxiliary to the precarious letter carrying service of the time was superseded, and Cape Town sprung Into being, it was lost sight of until the other day. Now it will be placed in a museum. There Is no doubt about this stone being authentic, in which respect it differs from many another reputed find, like that, for instance, of the Runic stone which was dredged up in the harbor at Havre not long ago. This at first excited no end of speculation and controversy, as it was thought to he a relic of the old Viking settlers of Normandy. It subsequently transpired that it had formed part of a Norwegian exhibit at the Paris exposition in 1867, and had been lost overboard on its return to Norway shortly afterward. Though the Blarney stone the only and original was reputed to have been at the Chicago exposition, and is said to be yet in this country, the one in the castle wall of Blarney, which has been sanctified by the kisses of so many generations of pilgrims, is still on view, ns it has been near three hundred years, since Cormac MarCartjiys soft promises and delusive delays made his besieger, the Lord President, the laughing stock of Elizabeths court. Another example of the occasional fallacy of lapidary legend is furnished Stone of Job," situby the From ated not far from Damascus. time immemorial it has been asserted that It was upon this hard couch that the patriarch, rested in the courso of his wanderings. It was only recently that its inscription was deciphered and found to refer to Rameses II., of Egypt, who flourished after Job had been dead and dust two hundred years. Probably there is no stone In the world aboutWhich more legend clings than that upon which the rulers of England have been crowned since tha days when Edward I. brought it from Scotland to Westminster. This coronation stone is also called "Jacobs Pillow and the Stone of Destiny. According to tho most ancient traditions it was tho stone on which Jacob slept when he had his dream of the ladder, and was originally preserved in Solomons tpmple, whence it was conveyed to Egypt by Jeremiah. Chince Trust One Another. I have said that a Chinaman trusts his friends to an extent that we would consider almost imbecile. Among them money is loaned without interest and without written acknowledgment or witnesses. If a man is short and appeals to his cousin or his friend to help him, that friend will divide up without specifying a time for Its re- payment. If the man Is sick or poor, the creditor, in all probability, will never mention the matter again, and will certainly not ask for its return while the debtor refrains from gambling or opium smoking, and honestly does his best. I have known men to be for a time without employment, and while they were trying to obtain it, if they conformed to the strict moral code of Chinese law, they were helped by the various cousins with gifts of money sufficient to support them until work was obtained; and not only to support themselves, but their families also And then, as turn about is fair play, they were expected to be equally generous with some one else.
