A Chinese Lady \ Foot.

Who, asks an exchange, has not expressed
some curiosity with regard to the appear
ance of the little feet OF the Chinese ladies :
Wehave, and although impressed that their
naked deformity could be little or nothing
short of disgusting, we nevertheless should
be glad to have an opportunity for inspec-
ton. A naval correspondent favored the
publisher of the Scientific American with
Photographic views of the golden lilly" as
the Chinese lady calls her compressed and
distorted foot. They show the foot in the
bandaged and bare conditions.
The correspondent writes that.
ut is an error to suppose, AS many
do, that 1t is only the upper.ten among the
daughters of China that indulge in the luxury
OF golden lilies, as it is extremely common
among every class, even 10 the very poorest =
notably the poor sewing women one Gees in
every Chinese city and Town, who can barely
manage to hobble from house to house
seeking work. The pain endured while
under the operation is SO severe and continue.
Gus that the poor girls never sleep for long
periods without the aid of strong narcotics
and then ohly but ftfully, and it ia from
this constant suffering that the peculiar sulen
or stolid look 30 often seen on the woman's
face is derived" The process by which the foot
10 reduced in size is related by Miss Norwood
an American missionary resident Mt
Swstown, and is substantially as follows {:
The binding of the feet has not begun un,i
The child has learned to walk. The bandages
are specially manufactured, and are about
two inches wide and two yards long for the
first year, five yards long for the subsequent
years. The end of the strip is laid on tue in
side of tho instep, then carried over the toes,
over the foot and round the heel, the toes
being thus drawn toward and over the sole,
while bulge is produced on the nstep and
a deep indentation on the sole. Successive
layers OF bandages are used until the strip is
all used, and the end is then sewed tightly
down. The foot is so squeezed upward
that in walking only the ball of the
great toe touches the ground After a
month the foot is put in hot water to
soak some time; then the bandagei Is carefully
unwound, much dead cuticle coming off with
1t. Frequently, too, one or two toes may
drop oil, In which case the woman feels
atterward repaid by having smaller and more
delicate feet. Each time the bsndage is
taken off, the foot is kueaded 70 make the
joints more flexible, and is then bound up
again as quickly as possible with fresh
bandage,. which is drawn up more tightly.
During the first year the pain is so intense
that the sufferer can do nothing. and for
about two years the foot aches continually,
and Is the seat Of pain which Is like the
pricking of sharp needles. With continued
rigorous binding the foot in two years be-,
comes dead and ceases to ache and the whole
leg, from the knee downward, becomes
shrunk, so as to BIO little more than skin and
bone. The origin of this strange fashion is
a complete mystery, at least 10 western
civilization.

Two Children Burned 20 Death.


Evanston, ILL.,, April 22.-The home and

the charred remains Of the youngest child.
Upon rough pile Of boards in tho roar Of
Svedeland's home sat an old, wrinklcd negro,
his hands clasped about his knees and his
eyes staring In dumb agony. 1t was Endor.
Beside him stood his wife, grooming, her eyes
fixed upon two shspeless bundles thst lay at
their feet. Sewed in two white sheets, were

500 was taken up at the polls, where an
