As an illustration Of the regardlessness
Of the Chinese for their female offspring,
a child OF tender years was observed to
fall from sampan into the river near
Foochow recently. when no attempt
whatever was made to effect it's rescue.
The infant, however, fortunately became
eniangled In the cordage Of broker
spar, which, whilst driving down the
river was picked up by the crew Of an
other boat, and the child restored to its
parents, who, as is customary, admin.
istered sound fogging to the semi
drowned infant. Tho theory held by
the natives Is that to preserve fellow.
being from watery grave, the rescuer
is answerable In the next world for all
the sins afterwards committed by the
rescued, which literally means thae a
