BOXERS MUST BE PUNISHED.
Germany Maintains u Firm Position In
Chinese Troubles.


Chinese Troubles.
The German foreign office has sent .
,ircular note to all the powers an
nouncing that the German government
considers that an Indispensable pre-
liminary to the beginning of peace ne
gotiations with Ctira is the delivering
up of those who were responsible for
the outrages.
The text Of the telegraphic note In
~ followsi
Inc government of the emperor
holds as preliminary to entering upon
diplomatic relations with the Chinese
government that those persons must
be delivered up who have been proved
to be the original and real instigators
OF the outrages against international
law which have occurred at Pekin.
The number of those who were merely
Instruments in carrying out the out
RACES Is too great. Wholesale execu-
lions would be contrary to the civilized
conscience, and the circumstances of
such group of leaders cannot be COM
pletely ascertained. But few whose
guilt is notorious should be delivered
up and punished.
The representatives OF the powers at
Pekin are in position to give or bring
forward convincing evidence, Ms less
Importance attaches to the number
punished than their characters as in
struments or leaders.
The government believes It can count
on the unanimity of all the cabinets in
regard to this point. insomuch M in
difference to the idea of just atone
ment would be equivalent to indiffer-
ence to repetition of the crime. The
government proposes, therefore, that
the cabinets concerned should instruct
those leading Chinese personages from
whose guilt in instigating or perpe-
trating outrages all doubt is precluded.

The note has been sent to the Ger
man embassies at Washington, London,

me, Is improved, and will, l believe,
should we have fair weather, continue
to improve. The method of distrib-
uting the contributions of the people
has become systematic and is reduced
to the lowest expense possible, and in
this have had the hearty and volun-

man who denies that he is pre-
JUDGED, but claims that he Is a good
judge Of feminine beauty, declares
that there is scarcely beautiful foot
to be found among the women OF to-
day. The high heels, the exaggerated
curve at the ball of the foot. the stiff
heel stays and the pointed toes, he de-
clares, have distorted the foot In a
painful and ugly manner. The ankles
are misshapen. In some cases the
bones are enlarged until they bulge
out SO that every bone is perceptible.
The weight of the body thrown upon
the toes has caused them to spread
out. Crowded into pointed toes, they
stick up in clusters OF knotty corns.
The foot should be as shapely as the
hand. Footwear should fit as a glove
fits the hand The perfect foot Ia
slender, with an arched instep and toes
that lie smoothly and easily. The first
step toward acquiring a pretty foot Is
to wear shoes that fit 1t comfortably.
The next Is to take exercises that will
render the toes strong and supple. Be-
gin by spreading out the toes to the
utmost extent; then hold four toes still
and attempt to move the remaining
one. Every toe should be straighter
and shorter than the next one and the
arch should be shapely and plant. The
feminine foot Of today renders grace
full carriage an impossibility. And all
because Dame Fashion has decreed
that a short, high-heeled, pointed-toe
shoe is the correct thing in dressy
footgear, forgetting that there never
was human foot built that way.
