Unbandaged Her Feet.

A Chinese lady recently visits
ed some American tourists who
were doing the suburbs of Can
ton, one of whom writes that she
had been visiting the tomb -cf
her ancestors and was in full cOs~
tune. She was dressed in some
thing more like frock than the
usual JACKET Of brown quilted
silk, with border of red and
black, and light blue trousers
very wide in the leg, reaching
Just down to her ankles. Her
hair was plastered back from her
face, with two great rolls on each
side and one very high struc-
ture at the top, with several
large globe-headed gold pins in
it. Her small deformed feet were
covered with little shoes abou t
five, or perhaps six inches long,
with very thick SOleS and the up
per part, over the unnaEuraily
high instep, embroidered in diff
fGrent col0rS, the foot being
tightly bandaged to keep the de-
lormity intact. To enable her to
walk, or rather hObble along, she
had TO support herself with a
long bamboo pipesstem. Motto
ing that we regarded her feet
somewhat curiously, she told the
Interpreter that for a 'cum-shaw'
she would show us one of them,
SO we gave her half a dollar, and
she began unbandaging one; but
when it was nearly uncovered a
dreadful smell became percepti-
bic, which she accounted for by
telling us that three menths had
elapsed since the bandages had
been removed. This was enough;
we were more than satisfied, and
declined to see any more. MAS
kee, masskee," said the fair one,
and she hobbled off few PAGES,
and sitting down, carefully re-
placed the disturbed folds.-Ex-

ed up with it about l foot deep,
and this must be- tamped down
hard. A second layer follows and
is disposed of in the same man
ner. This is repeated, the clay
being molstened every time if
required, and then beaten down
solidIy. This lower stratum as
but the foundation of the dam,
which is formed out of the earth
dug from the pond or its vicinity.
This is continued until the dam
is completed. Care must be tak%
en-, however, that the construc-
ton and tamping down of this
lower stratum be done in layers
and that nothing but good clay
be used. In this manner the
material of the foundation will
become a very tenacious mass,
which will not allow any water to
penetrate. The completion of
this IaborIous task will be a
source of ultimate satisfaction, as
many disadvantages, that might
arise after the filling of the pond,
will be done away with through
its agency. The dam should not
be made entirely of clay, for in
mid summer, during the great
heat, it would dry out too much
on that side most exposed to the
sun, and consequently it would
become full of assures, through
which the water would escape,
and this might become disastrous
for the establishment.

A circus man in Europe has a
new way of raising money. He
ra files off his African lion at each
town he visits. In this style of
ra file the victim is the uufortun-
ate winner. "Take your lion" "
says the honest circus man, as he
goes to open the cage. The crowd
stampede. The unlucky owner,
who finds that he cannot buy the
cage. generally pays the cilcuS
man to keep the brute.

chase an installment of reserved seats

For some years past the county au-
thorities have been endeavoring to eli
inmate from the list of insane patients
charged to this county those which were
properly chargable to the state. The
attempt has hitherto been unsuccessful,
but recently Col. Clark went to Madison
and passed a. few days at the State
Asylum looking over the records. Pre-
vious to the incumbancy of the present
superintendent, DR.. Wiggenton, the rec
ord is missing, and incomplete but
enough was found to satisfy Col. Clark
that SIX at least of those now charged
to the county were properly state
charges. On the other hand some of
those who were named at the last meet
ing of the board as state charges were
found to be properly chargable to the
county. The Colonel is still prosecut-
ing his search among the records kept
here and it is possible more may be
found who come under the head of state
charges. In regard to the moving of
chronic patients from the State hospi-
tai to the county asylum Col. Clark
said it had not been determined exact
ly when the change would be made
but thought it would be within the
course of two weeks.
