brother, the poor little girl will lie
restless with fever upon her little
couch, and, when the cold nights of
winter come, she is afraid to wrap
her limbs in any covering. else they
grow warm and the sufferings become
more intense. When the feet are first
bound she moves about by placing her
knees upon two low stools, moving
them alternately with her hands. At
last the much-desired smallness is OBJ
tanned, the feet are deformed for life
and she is greatly admired by all her
friends.
If the girl Is not betrothed until she
IS ten or more years of age, one of the
INST questions is, What is the length
OF her feet?" The small-fOoted Chi

of character. A we'll known anecdote IL
Illustrates her self control. One night she
was driving to the house of commons
with her husband when he was about
to make an important speech. His
mind naturally was much preoccupied
and she knew how important 1t was
not to disturb him. 1t so happened
that OF the way the carriage door was
opened and in shutting it her hand
was caught, inflicting a most painful
wound. But her husband never knew
she had been hurt until after his
speech had been delivered. There is
something finer in this than any mere

Col. George e. Waring writes under
standingly Of an important subject in
his Street Cleaning" The methods
pursued in foreign cities are carefully
studied and exactly stated, and the
comparison between these methods
and results and our own is interesting
and encouraging, for, while it is shown
that the typical American city has not
reached perfection, she seems at least
to have found a short cut to compare
tive cleanliness.
Col. Waring is not a man who is
penny wise and pound foolish, and he
shows most convincingly that nothing
can be done without a generous outlay
in money, but the expenditure must
be careful as well as generous, and
economy is the result.
The part Of the book which treats
OF "Steet Cleaning" in New York is
particularly interesting, and ones con-
fdence in Col. Warnings suggestions
and conclusions is strengthened by the
knowledge of his practical experience
and success.

"L0chinVar.'

The hero of Mr. Crockett's new novel
is none other than our old friend WHO
swan the Esk river when ford there
was none" and this fact alone should
entitIe him to our respectful considera-
ton. Above and beyond this, ''Lochin-
var" is an excellent novel of its type,
and in it the author reverts to his
crisper early manner, and makes less
use Of padding than is his wont. 1T
is true that at times the adventures
of Walter Gordon of LOchinvar and
OF Kate McGhie, his lady-love, drag a
little and seem to be adventures for
adventures sake, but in general the
book moves with a rapfdity sufficient
for the most exacting readers. Gordon
was enc among the many Scotch refu-
gees in Holland in 1885, when the story
opens. and the bOnny Kate was also
an exile. as her CGNenanter sympathies
were so strong as TO threaten the
bringing of discredit upon her good
father and his estates. Kate is also
admired by the Earl of Barra, then
of Orange, and hence arise most of
the trials of the pair, including their
snirited elCpefnent at the end from I'M
der the wCuId-be bridegroom astOni5h-
ed ewes. Most people know by this
time whether they. like Mr.. Crockett S
breathlesS and careteSSiy written novels
or not. Those who do will find this
equal in quantity and quality to the
ether things the author has done Of
late, and those, who do not will be able
to find the customary reasons for their
Justification here. The Durveyors to
the annette for exciting fiction are get
ting to be as we'll known as the dealers
in certain brands Of edibles. There is
really no more reason for writing a
review of each Of Mr.. Crockett's novels
than there is for writing a review Of
each of Mr.. Huyler's boxes of bon-bons.
