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 20 walk as
something very painful. No would
be shocked at Mrs. Yang JUS pedestrian
style. It is true, the interpreter Of the
legation tells me, that IN the southern
provinces Of China women's feet are
dwarfed, but it Id only lii the southern
provinces that small feet are considered
mark OF afistocracy.
Mrs Yang JUS feet were never put
through the dwarhng process. Neither
> the feet OF her children undergoing
that painful operation. The little tots
run about the legation halls freely, and
on the day when I was there one OF them
took . long peep at me through the door,
way OF the reception room when I 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.

Hon In circumnavigating the Globe ON
His New Yacht Eleanor. which Rivals
Even the Valiant In L-uxuriousness
The luxurious rivalry OF orr multi.
millionaires has created a boom in yacht
building. w. X. Vanderbilt's example
has started an epidemic or emulation.
Since the completion q year or SO ago of
his magnificent Valiant not less than is
palatial steam yachts have been launched
at various yards In the United States,
and several have been purchased or
built to order abroad for Americans
The majority of these splendid crafts
will start on foreign cruises before an
other year has passed, most of them hav-
ing been built or purchased for that
especial purpose. Some OF them will
circumnavigate the globe. Here again
MIR. Vanderbilt's example has proved
contagious. The modern multimillion-
aire is not up to date unless he makes o
~leisurely journey around the earth in
his own floating palace. The lesser mil
lionaires, Of course, must follow their
leaders, so far as circumstances will per-
init, and the net result Ii . feet Of
pleasure vessels such as never before
burdened the waters of the earth"
Foremost among these, taking the PEN
nant even from the Valiant IN the mat
tiers of luxury, beauty, completeness and
costliness. is the steam yacht Eleanor.

Eleanor is owned by William A. Slater
of Norwich, Conn, one OF the best
known of American yachtsmen, and will
cost when completed something like
$500, 600. The sum seems large TO ordi-
nary people, but it 10 q mere bagatelle
to MIR. Slater, who inherited many mil
lions from hrs father, the late philan-
thropist, John Fox Slater, who created
o trust fund Of 81, 900, 900 for the edu-
cation OF the negroes of the south The
foundations Of the Slater fortune were
laid by an uncle of John Fox Slater,
Samuel Slater, an English mechanic, who
stole the Arkwright spinning machine
and started the first cotton mills in the
United States at Pawtuckek, n. L Mn.
Slater, whose great hobby Ii yachting,
has planned q two years trip around the
world that leaves the Vanderbilt voyage
far In the background. On his old yacht,
the Sycamore. he visited almost every
port in the world, but i'm his new vessel
he expects to visit some OF the more re-
mote and less civilized countries aside
from the usual track OF globe trotters.
He viii be accompanied ON his voyage
by his wife, his two children, d few
chosen friends, o physician, governesses
and o retinue Of servants besides the
yachts crew Of SO men and four an
prentices, whom he will carry along TO
learn navigation and seamanshin The
cost Of the cruise, for maintenance OF
the yacht, supplies. wages, etc, will be
at least $500, 600, and it ID likely that
large additional amounts of money will
be spent for the entertainment OF visit-
ors and ON inland journeys to points or

After q visit 10 st. Petersburg the plan
of the journey contemplates b trip

at French and italian ports, and an In
definite stay in the Holy Land and

out Immediately. We explained the urgent
reason for his doing so; but he said no
power on earth would make him start be-
fore his scheduled time. To our excited
imaginations, the five minutes seemed like
as many hours. At last the final second
had gone and he signaled his engineer.
The next station was eight miles away,
at which stop of ten minutes was to be
made. As we pulled out through the
woods, a mile beyond Mater, we could see,
only two hundred yards away, eight furious
miners urging their horses with whips and
oaths, on, on, on!
We pulled away frem them and reached
Fairfax on time. There, again, the wait
was as long as indicated on the local time
sheet; and although the conductor had al
ready seen our need, no instant of the time
was given us. When we started for the

we could see in the distance the same body

When they saw our train had started

Sudden Death of Marshall Lee.

Marshall Lee, one of the best known and
most highly respected residents of Vernon,
died suddenly Monday night. He was APP
parently in his usual health when he went
to bed. His wife was aroused by his heavy
breathing about IL o'clock, and he died an
hour later, the cause undoubtedly being an
affection of the heart.
Mr.. Lee was born in this town ~ years
ago, his parents being Eli and Rebecca
Stebbins Lee. His first wife was Eliza
Lyman of Northfield, who died 10 or more
years ago. His second wife was Polly AL
len, formerly a resident of Brattleboro.
Mr.. Lee leaves one daughter by his first
marriage, Mrs. Minnie Eager of Pierre,
South Dakota. His two sisters are Mrs.
Addison Withheld and Miss Hattie Lee,
and his only brother Rev. j. S. Lee of
Canton, n. Y. The funeral was held
Thursday, Rev. Mr.. Maxwell officiating.
