THE HEATHEN CHINEE AT HOME.

the women, that is a custom which has
been In vogue since a certain emperor,
about a thousand years ago, found
great pleasure in the dancing of girl
who had made her feet small by bind
ing them up SO that she could pirouette
very prettily on the tips of her toes.
The emperor was SO delighted with
the evolutions of her little feet that he
caused a pavement of his palace to be
inlaid with golden lotus leaves and
flowers for her satisfaction, and the
other women of his empire. hearing of
it, all began to bandage their feet.
But when the Mantchoo dynasty came
into power the first edict issued, after
the male Chinese had been ordered to
wear the pigtail, declared it punish
able by death for parents to bind the
feet of their children. 1t is another IL
lustration of the obstinacy of the Chi
nese that they took kindly to the pig
tails, which at first they despised and
| now consider as a sign of honor In
stead of disgrace, while they resented
| the edict against bandaging the feet
so that it was recalled after three years
and the custom reinstated.
The most conspicuous example in
this country of a woman of station with
| bandaged feet is that of the amiable
wife of the Chinese minister. Mr.. WI
whose recent criticisms of American
ladies and their dress might seem tt
come with better grace if his owl
spouse were not SO frightfully manned
and mutilated in conformity to the be
hest of fashion.
The Chinese ladies and gentlemen
rarely eat together, but occupy differ
ent rooms, rather from the fact that i
is more convenient than in obedienc
to some law of caste. The men have
custom in hot weather of divestini
themselves of their coats and all su
pertluous garments and sitting aroun

Chinese in abasement to their knees.
Overlooking and narrow minded the
Chinese learn nothing from experience
and fail to perceive the lessons of adj
versity.
The Chinese are not a homogeneous
people. yet, with the exception of some
natives, such as those of Hainan and
the half wild peoples of the interior of
Formosa, now under Japanese rule,
they all speak a common language,
which, again, has so many dialects that
the residents on different sides of a
river or mountain range may have
different pronunciation. Chinese is
difficult language for a foreigner to ac-
quire, and this may account for the
ease with which those to whom 1t is
natural learn another tongue. Educat-
ed Chinese diplomats like Mr.. WI Ting
Fang, the present minister to the Unit
ed States, speak our language with ac-
curacy and an exquisite pronunciation.
The fact that even those Cinnamon sup
posed to be highly educated do not al
ways master all the intricacies of their
own written language may be RESPONSE
BILE for the amazing ignorance they
sometimes display of the resources of
their own land. This ignorance, howev-
err invariably results in exaggeration of
the greatness of China.
A Chinaman will tell you that his
country possesses the best artists in the
world; but any one who has seen Chi
nese drawing, with it's total lack of pro-
| portion and perspective, can refute this.
| He will assert that his native musi-
clans are fit to tWang a harp in celes-
tial choirs; but whoever has listened
to their discordant "harmonies," with
out rhythm and melody, and in which
the ear splitting gong is the prime fac
| tor, can testify to the contrary. AS to
/ the drama, in which women are re-
placed by eunuchs and beardless
youths and which, like the poets
brook, goes on almost forever, OH" il

are debarred from attending its per-
! formances. The Chinese are initiative

TRANSPORTING HORSES.

One of the most difficult matters con.
nected with the transport of mounted
troops is the embarkation of horses.
EQUINE soldiers do not love the sea, and
to get them on board and to keep them
Quiet and healthy during long voyage
is by no means an easy task. Horses
are always kept in a cool state before
embarking and are put on board ship
rather low in flesh than in too high cons
dition. Horses which are in the latter
state are disposed to be fractions and
kick. and are also liable to inf1amma-
ton. Long, slow, steady work is given
to horses previous to their embarka-
ton. They are kept fasting and with
ont water for some hours before being
put on board.
This minimizes the bad effects OF
singing an overfed animal. They also
become much sooner reconciled to their
change of quarters and take to their
feed on board when these measures
have been adopted. AS rule, horses
shoes are not removed, as the animals
are generally used directly they land.
Horses to be embarked are drawn up
by troops as near the points of em-
barkation as possible. Their saddles
and harness are taken off and packed in
large sacks, while they are provided
with ships collars.
No fewer than five men are required
to sling" horse quickly and well.
| One man holds the head guy" which
is made fast to the ships head collar.
Two men stand on each side of the AMI
NAL and hold up the sling until the
horses legs leave the ground, and the
two remaining soldiers stand at the
head and tail to fasten the breast strap
and breeching respectively
A horse on board ship eats ten POUNDS
of hay, five pounds of oats, five pounds
of bran and one-half an ounce OF inter.
His drinking allowance is half a gill OF
vinegar and eight gallons of water.

De set down to the Chinaman's credit,
but to his discredit must be urged the
otl er notorious fact that, while he was
the originator of many useful inven-
tic j, he never learned how to apply
the n to the best advantage. He makes
his paper in the same manner as his
ant estors did 5000 years ago; he pre-

These facts betray another phase of
Chinese character and show how ma
ton great at the beginning or in an
Gent times may become the victim of
arrested development and in a certain
sense be petrified. That is the trouble
with John. He started out well, made
great progress at first and then, proba-
bly, overcome by his mighty conceit,
suddenly stopped short, never to go
again." like that famous clock which
was either wound up too tight or Slip
ped a cog. Anyway, he slipped and fell,
and when he arose, bewildered by the
shock, he seemed to have forgotten ev-
erything else but the former greatness
Of his ancestors and the magnitude of
his country.
1t is sorry state to get into when a
nation assumes. either by assertion or
by implication, that it knows it all''
and can no longer be taught. This
{ seems to be the condition Of China. for,
rejecting that it is. or ought to be, next
to Russia, the largest state that ever
existed. with population aggregating
400,000,000p or one-third the earth's in
habitants, it arrogates to itself some
quality of greatness which it really
loes not possess.

that is, on top-and let the rest of his
hair grow long. From the fact that
those who eonformed were promised
half a tael apiece some have inferred
the name of ''pigtail.' by which 1t is
commonly known; but this is probably
farfetched. An inauisitive statistician
has estimated that Ii all the pigtails in
China were cut off and thrown on the
market they would weigh in the aggre-
gate not less than 10000 tons, and if
tied end to end would reach three times
around the globe; but this. again. is a
matter OF conjecture.

to a perverted sense of what should be
rendered to antiquated and ridiculous
custom. To ascertain why and when
the first John Chinaman wore pigtail
we shall have to go back a few hun
dred years in his history, and yet not
so very far either. There are older GUS
toms than that, and more important
events have happened, of which chron-
icles have been preserved.
1t was not until the year 1914, after
long and bloody wars, that the present
Mantchoo dynasty was established, and
it was just about that time also that
the Chinaman was forced to adopt the
badge of his Tartar conquerors, which
was the cue. The Tartar gave John the
cue, and he has kept 1T ever since. even
though at the time it was bestowed as
| a sign of servitude. He was told to
