Chinese Women's Feet.

It is the common understanding
among Americans that the women Of
China have dwarfed feet. From the time
that China was opened to explorers
books of travel, and especially school
textbooks, have been filed with descrip-
tions of the dreadful agony to which
Chinese women were subjected to make
their feet small According to these
stories and according to the popular be-
lief in America, the feet of Chinese girl
babies are put in congresses until their
growth has been stunted
Travellers in China have described the
attempt of Chinese women to walk as
something very painful No one would
be shocked at Mrs. Yang JUS pedestrian
style. 1t is true, the interpreter Of the
legation tells me, that in the southern
provinces Of China women's feet are
dwarfed, but it is only in the southern
provinces that small feet are considered
a mark Of aristocracy.
Mrs. Yang JUS feet were never put
through the dwarfing process. Neither
are the feet of her children undergoing
that painful operation. The little tots
run about the legation halls freely, and
on the day when l was there one OF them
took long peep at me through the door
way Of the reception room when / was
not supposed to be looking in that direc-
tion. This little fellow was dressed in
the gaudy silks which are an invariable
feature of the Chinese custom. Wash

The Night For Sleep.

Man, in common with most of the
animal creation, has accepted the plain
suggestion of nature that the approach
of night should imply cessation of ef-
fort If he ignores this principle, his
work is done against inherited habit
and 80 far with additional fatigue. 1t
follows, too, that he must use artificial
light and sustain its combustion at the
cost of his ewn atmosphere. Naturally,
therefore, when he does rest, his relief
is not proportioned to his wsariness
As In many cases, however, sensation
is not here the most reliable guide to
judicious practice. Established custom
affords a far truer indication of the
method most compatible with healthy
existence. The case of the overworked
and the invalid lends but deceptive
color to the argument Of the daylight
sleeper. In them excessive waste of it's
sue must be made good, and sleep, al
ways too scanty, is at any time useful
for this purpose.
For the healthy majority, - rever,
the old custom of early rest al early
waking is certain to prove in future, as
returns of longevity and common expert
ence alike show that it has proved in the
past, most conducive to health and active
life.-London Lancet.

Charity at a Pawnshop.

A man who had been to his uncle's
said: mo one can claim that charity
is not widely distributed in this city
after seeing the contribution boxes that
are hung up in conspicuous places in
the smaller of the pawnbrokers' shops.
The particular relative to whom spoke
of it told me that the little boxes were
put up every year about the beginning
of the autumn and generally were for
the benefit of some Hebrew charity.
'They are taken down just before the
holidays, and he said that for the past
10 years the one in his shop had aver
aged between $12 and $15, mostly in
and 10 cent pieces, although once the
agent had found a So piece in it. One
doesn't look for much charity among
