| Courtesy is one of the first lessons
taught to the children of China. AL
most every Chinese child, rich or poor,
is taught how to address his parents,
his superiors, his fellows and his infe-
riors. Except among the very poorest
classes a considerable portion of each
day is devoted by the child to the study
of etiquette. Boys and girls are edu-
Gated together until they are about ten
Then, unless the poverty of the family
is such that they are obliged to assist in
the struggle for bread, the boys go to
school or have a tutor and the girls are
taught at home by governess.
A large proportion of the Chinese
are born, live and die on boats.
Strangely enough, none, or nearly
none, of them can swim. But almost
every Chinese child is an expert fisher,
and exceedingly fond of the sport. Fish
and rice form very largely the diet of
every Chinese child. Except among
the very poor the children and the
women eat apart from the men.
The children of the Weather people
eat considerable poultry and unlimited
fruit. Among the poorer Chinese the
girls are taught to cook, to do all sorts
of household work, and to sew roughly.

hut was good-sized pond, divided by

On the floor of the hut they Matched

Baby's Feet,

Few persons realize how a very little
pressure may cause serious foot de-
formity if exerted on child's foot
during infancy, when the tissues are
soft, the bone mostly cartilage and the
foot growing rapidly. The little inno-
cent shoe, a trifle snug when bought,
but so cunning, soft and comforta BILE
feeling for baby's dainty foot. may
exert just pressure enough to cause
corns, bunions and ingrowing toe
nails and serious defornity in after
life. Keep a strict watch of baby's
feet, and when the toes begin to be-
come crooked and crowded together,
and the flesh of the plump little leg
hangs over the shoe tops, discard the
shoes at once and let no mistaken ideas
lead you to compel your baby TO wear
them out on the score of economy

nese, in the winter, and in the north OF
China, wear quaint froclSs of silk, OF
satin, or of brocade, made thick and
warm with padding of cottonwood,
and deity embroidered, and garments
of fur. In the summer they wear thin

Almost every Chinese child of high
station carries fan. Fans are the
rattles Of Chinese babyhood. A Chi

with views of her swiftly-movcd, gayly-
painted fan. With that same fan she
cools for him the torrid air of the Chi

legs, his apple-faced mother, If forced
to criticise his momentary mode of life,
is very apt to score his yellow shoulders
with her pink perfumed fan. Though,
to be honest, Chinese child is almost
never struck.
Many Chinese children who have
scarcely garment, and rarely have an
ample dinner, have fans, and are expert
in their use, for in China the manner in
which fan is carried, opened, used and
moved is almost as significant as it is in
Korea. The nakedest Chinese boy will
almost be sure to own kite. Chinese
children are as slkillful as Japanese chill
dren in kite flying, and are almost as
fond of it as are the children Of Siam.
1t is more than religion with the Chi
nese to obey as their ancestors have
obeyed, and in all things to follow in
the footsteps of those ancestors This

THE GREAT wALkELiN.
How He Got the Timber for the Roof Of
Winchester Cathedral.

How He Got the Timber for the Roof q
Winchester Cathedral.
Have you ever heard of the Grea
Walkclin who built the cathedral a
Winchester, and how he got the timbe
which is still in the roof of the cathe
dral? 1t is rather an odd story and
will tell it to you, as it was told to me
by the verger when l was at Winches
ter-and told, indeed, while we walked
in the loft among the very beams an6
rafters in question.
William the Conqueror was king
who loved his trees, and would hardly
part with any of his timber. When
the bishop was building the cathedral
he came to the king and asked leave to
cut wood from the forest of Hempage,
to finish the noble work he had carried
on for many years.
Wood from my forest of Hempage!
Nay, that you cannot have" said King
William.
But, sire, how can make a roof for
my cathedral without timber? Will
your majesty grudge the trees of the
forest to the house of God?" said the
bishop, fearlessly.
The king did not want to yield, but
bishops in those days were formidable
enemies, before whom many king had
trembled. The bishop urged his
claims, and may have even used
threats, until at length King William
said: go, then, my lord bishop, and
take as many trees as you can fell in
day-but no more. " The bishop went
gladly, and coming to his domain,
which was like a little kingdom, over
which he had absolute power, he
mustered his iegemen and retainers
for grand housekeeping expedition.
At the bishops palace hundreds of men
were. daily fed, and he could bring
thousands in the field in time of war,
for everyone in his see was subject to
him-''in mind, body and estate" He
must have summoned all his subjects
that day, for never was such wood
cutting known in England.
To the forest they went in an army
and chopped from the rising of the sun
till night descended, and at the end of |
the day not a tree was left standing in |

The Fight Can Go On.

Waco, Tex, July S.-Judge Clarke has submitted an opinion concerning the coming contest at Dallas between Corbett and FitZsimmons. He shows that the act of the legislature of 1891 is imperative and that its incorporation in the code of 1895 does not altar that feature for want of some court to try the offense, also that the law yves re- pealed by the revised statutes which go into effect September 1. His view is that there is now no law upon the stat ute books of Texas prohibiting glove contests, and that upon tender of the license fee prescribed for such exhi- ,bitions there Is no lawful power in the state to interfere with the contests.

Efforts Not Yet Abandonad.

New London, July s.-Efforts to float the Portuguese steamer Olinda ashore on the south side of Fishers Island, have not been abandoned yet. The steamer was sold by auction ten days ago to Colonel Brothers of the Brook lyn Iron works after efforts had been made for many days by powerful tugs and wreckers to haul 1t off. Since then the purchasers determined to make another attempt to float the vessel. which is expected to be done by aid of canvas to be put in the vessel and filled with air and so displace the water. Wrecker Scott to-day put an engine and pump aboard the steamer to try to pump out the stern. The air bags will arrive here Wednesday. The steamer was valued at s150,0OO when it went ashore, so if It Is ever floated the scheme will be profitable.

STRAINED HER BRACES.
Angle Iron Braces Were Bent and Twisted
 Ont of Shane.

Providence, July 8.-The Defender strained some of her braces yester- day while on her second trial trip off the south end of Prudence Island. When she arrived at her anchorage in Bristol haTbor It was discovered that two steel pieces of piping that are bolted from the angle Iron deck braces to the bilge brace stringers or angle iron were bent and twisted out of shape on account of the great strain they were subjected to in carrying the sails. These pieces of steel piping are rather stout and are fastened in range of the mast on both sides from the middle of the deck to the bilge section. The alumin- um plates in that region did not show any indication of bending, but they must have sprung somewhat to cause the steel braces to bend in the manner they are at present. The matter of put ing up other braces of the same mate rial in range of the mast Is thought of and they will probably be done in a day or two.
 Defender was hauled into the wharf this morning, and a number of men are now finishing her up inside. It Is likely that she will not have another trial be- fore Saturday next, as the rigging will be again set up this week.
 All information regarding the sail area of the Defender has been and Is carefully guarded, even Mir Iselin re- training from giving anything out for publication. The Journal is able to give figures regarding the mainsail that go far toward confirming the statement made some time ago by MT. Iselin to the effect that the Defenders sail area would not greatly exceed that of the Vigilant.
 The greatest increase is, of course, in the mainsail, and the popular supposi- ton has been that the big sheetcon- tains 1000 square feet more than the mainsail of the Vigilant, which meas ures about 5,700 square feet. In fact many went so far as to assert that figuring from the given dimensions of the spars the area of the mainsail would be fully 1000 square feet. Ac- cording to the information obtained and which Is believed to be in the main correct, the Defenders mainsafl con- tains 6,3S5 square feet.
 As will be noted this is about 700 square feet more area. than Vigilant's mainsail contains, yet if the figures from the other side are correct the sail Is somewhat smaller than that spread by Falkyrie H., the cup cha1- lenger.

Officers Elected--Will Issue Pamphlet on
 Tuberculosis.
 The regular quartarly meeting and annual election of officers of the state. board of health was held at the resi- dence of pr. c. A. Lindsley on Elm street yesterday afternoon at o'clock. Five out of the seven members were present, pr. Goodwin of Litchfie1d and: c. P. Ingersoll being the absentees.
 The following officers were elected: President, Professor William H. Brew CT of the Sheffield Scientific school in Yale university; auditing committee, William H. Brewer. G. P. Ingersoll; superintendents of county homes, for Hartford county, Dr. c. A. Lindsley; New Haven county, w. H. Brewer; New London county, G. H. Wilson: Fair field county, pr. Worden; Windham county, G. P. Ingersoll; Litchfeld county, Dr. Goodwin; Middlesex county. c. H. Wilson; Holland county, T. H. Mckenzie.
 The office of secretary and treas- urer is permanent office and is held by Dr. c. A. Linsley of this city.
 Disease throughout the, state was dis cussed in an informal manner. The general impression seemed to be that matters pertaining to the public heaMh were in good condition. The recent. epi- denies of typhoid fever at New Milford and Stamford were mentioned. The board will issue a circular be- fore long on the cause and restriction of tuberculosis or consumption.
 The committee that had been ap- pointed to investigate the sewerage in the summer hotels at Lake Waura- mag, Litchfie1d county, made a report, in which a plan was formulated for putting in a system of sewerage. Reports were received from five coun- ty health officers. The state laws re- quire that reports shall be submitted every year in June by each county health officer in the month of June Three have thus far failed to report.
