"Ideal Gardens" Arc Suggested.

An agricultural paper suggests the posi-
bility Of ideal gardens in different sections
of the United States 1t says: "Our country
offers to the landscape gardener wonderful
advantages in its endless variety of scenery,
the unriyaled richness Of its fora, and such
diversity of soil and climate, that somewhere
within its borders every extra tropical plant
will grow" 1t declares the imagination can
conceive nothing more beautiful and "re-
freshing than spring garden in New Eng
land, when vegetation bursts suddenly forth
from the restraints Of long winter" And
what field for the landscape artist is offered
in the warm, rich valleys OF the southern
Alleghanies, the home OF the most beautiful
deciduous forests in the world Here he can
collect all plants belonging to the temperate
some"
Another ideal garden could be made on
our northwest coast, where plants that luxu-
riate in moist regions would be at home;
while in Southern California could be gath
cred the trees of the Mexican plateau, Of the
Mediterranean basin, of Australia, and of all
the dry countries in the world; and here
gardens might be made surprising in rich
ness and variety Of interest even those Of the
Riviera" 1t Is not clear whether the sug
gsstion Is that public gardens representative
Of the fora Of vast sections be established
The idea would not be bad one, il that be
intended. -Globe-Democrat

The Feminine Chinese Feet.

The feet of Chinese women are made small
in very simple manner. The process begins
at the age of five or six years The foot is
tightly bound, SO that the circulation of
blood ceases and the toes are crushed to-
gether The bandaged foot is inserted in a
short, narrow pointed shoe, in the heels of
which block Of wood is placed, so that the
girl appears to be standing on her toes
Sometimes bandages are wound around over
the shoe The foot Of course grows smaller,
but in consequence of the shrinking of the
skin, seems round and plump. Stockings are
not worn. If everything goes all right the
foot assumes the desired form in two or three
years, being gradually shriveled up. The
poor girls often have to undergo great pain
Sometimes tho skin and flesh burst under the
terrible pressure, and occasionally incurable
injuries result 1t is dangerous to hasten the
process, and especially SO when at the begin
ming of the operations the girls are beyond
the usual age. Not infreQuently the attempt
is made with fifteen or sixteen year old
daughters In such cases the process is diff
cult, for tho foot has almost reached its full
growth. and the pain is unbearable
The practice of deforming the feet prevails
only among the upper classes and those VINO
affect the manners and customs of their su-
periors in rank. Among the lower classes,
where the deformity would unfit girl for
necessary labor, the feet are allowed to grow
naturally This establishes a sort Of caste
sign. The father of tiny footed maiden will
not permit her to marry @ man whose mother
or sisters have not artif1cially diminutiAe
feet The written laws OF the land do not
refer to this custom in any way; it would be
much as IL American legislation should deal
with tight lacing.-Chang Toe IN Philadel-

How the Sioux Nfagicians Prepare Their

Az the medicine bag contains the red doc
tors stock in trade, be guards it with jealous
care. 1t is kept away from tbs pgying eyes
and itching fingers Of the whites, and the
medicine man would as soon lose his Life as
to have the contents OF bis pouch inspected
These bags are made of the skin Of some Wild
animal, and are variously ornamented with
fringe and now and hen with beads. W.
did not get O chance to look into one during
the prevalence Of the dog feast, but not long
afterward a number of Christianized medi-
cine men reached the post and turned their
pouches over to the missionary who had con-
verted them
A complete catalogue Of the contents Of
single medicine bag would excite the readers
wonder and provoke smile When the dis
carded ones had been turned over on the
occasion Just referred to, l went through the

struct the medicine man as to the contents of
the package The assembled medicines
would have formed an unique collection, and
a general laugh went around az the Indians
materia medica stood displayed
There were dried HERDS in quantity, leaves,
barks roots. and stems Here a claw, there
a tooth, yonder an ear. One package con-
tanned beak and a feather, another human
nail Our search brought to light small
images Of wood carefully wrapped and
labeled These were the toteus that preside
owe, the use and effects Of the medicines, and
without their presence in the pouches the
skill Of the Indian doctors would avail moth
ing. The images are of rough workmanship,
but they answer the purpose for which they
were designed os well as if they came from
the hands of the skilfful carver. We found
in the bag we examined representations of
the sun and moon, and some odd pieces of
wood carving supposed to represent the
human figure.
The medicine Of one tribe differs from that
Of another The shapes of the healing pouches
are different. No Indian can aspire to the
position Of healer Of the sick unless he is ply
sically without a blemish, though some
tribes tolerate manned medicine men This
would indicate that among some nations men

ones in the choosing of doctors The initia-
