Urine, Tyranny and Small Feet in
China.

large proportion OF the throny at
the Baptist minister's meeting yester-
day were women assembled to hear
Miss Adele Fields, for eighteen years a
missionary in or near Swallow, China,
speak OF her experience among the
chinese women. Miss Fields said the
progress of Christianity among the wo-
men OF China had been slow, but the
difncultles encountered at every step
were enormous. Infanticde was ter
rilbly common crime among them, and
It was very hard to persuade them that
II was sinful to kill a girl baby. One
woman, long after she had become
christian and jealous worker for the
church, was smitten with the convic-
ton OF her guilt in having destroyed
her five daughters within an hour Of
the birth Of each She went to Miss
Fields and asked If she might hope to
be forgiven
The bandaging of the feet of Chinese
girls to stop their growth was a horri-
BILE evil, and one that the missionaries
had striven hard, and with some sue
cess to check. The practice dated back
300 years. A very brutal man once
told Miss Fields that If the women were
not thus crippled they would be as
strong as the men, and the latter would
no longer be able to beat them
There is very little marital felicity in
China The girl had no voice in the
choice OF husband. She was simply
carried to her intended father-in-law'
house and there introduced to the
bridegroom. What did you think of
him when you first saw himo" was a
question Miss Fields had often asked.
and the reply almost Invariably was:
II hated him. Except among the
Christians, wife beating was carried on
IN every family A friend Of Miss Fields
who had gained the affections of Chi
nese wife, was approached by the lat
ter. who whispered in her ear: Does
your husband often beat you?n ii am
sorry he is dead, said widow, refer
nng to her deceased husband. lie was
very good to me. He seldom beat me-"
Their standard of happiness was not to
be beaten often. None had an idea of
what It was not to be beaten at ALL

Walking as an Exercise.

Prof. Sargent, of Harvard college,
delivered a lecture last evening at the
Union hall upon the subject of walk
ing. He referred to the numerous adj
verse criticisms which his ideas in this
connection, as presented in his lecture
of last winter. had called forth. As an
illustration of the nature OF these criti-
cisms he read an article. which main
tanned that moderate walking, instead
of being the poorest, was the best pos
sible method of exercise. In answer
to this, DR.. Sargent suggested that the
very common error OF drawing general
differences from his own particular
case. For person troubled with In.
somnia, nervous diseases, and particu-
lar kinds of heart troubles, the exercise
obtained from a number of moderate
walks, taken at intervals during tho
day, is the best thing that can be found.
Rapid walking, or any other violent
exercises, serve rather to aggravate
than cure troubles of this nature. But
for a man in the enjoyment of good
health these saunters are wholly use
less What he needs is n sharp, brisk
walk, which will start the circulation
of the blood and bring all the muscles
of the body into play. Walks OF this
kind are very beneficial, and heartily
recommended. The most rapid walker
is he who walks from the thighs rather
than from the knees. - Boston Tran
