Mrs. Archibald Little, an Englisf

Mrs. Archibald Little, an English
woman who lived in western China for
IL years. says there is growing senti-
ment against the practice of crippling
the native women's feet. While she
was there they held drawing-room
meetings to discuss the subject and
about 200 of the best families in Chung
king and 1900 families in the ad join
ing district agreed to discourage the
custom. Men are responsible for the
practice. for the first question they ask
in regard to possible fiancee is about
the size of her foot. The engaged young
Chinaman, when he is dining with his
friends. often proudly produces from
the recesses of his capacious sleeves a
shoe to prove the smallness of his fu-
ture wife's foot. Women with these
crippled feet can walk and run, but, ac-
cording to Mrs. Little, it is almost i'm
possible for them to stand still. When
they try it. they hold on to whatever
happens to be nearest to them anG

WILL BE A COSTLY ENTERPRISE
Difficulties a Pacific Telegraph Ca
bic Will Have 20 Overcome.

Scribner's Magazine: In view of the
constant activity in Atlantic cables
which has resulted in a new cable
about every two years since the first
successful cable of 1866, it stands to
reason that the difficulties offered by
the Pacific ocean must be very great
for the nineteenth century to reach
its close without Il definite scheme
for spanning the Pacific by telegraph
having been adopted. The difficulties
may be sumed up in a few words:
First, the great cost of q complete
system of cables; second, the extreme
depth of water known to exist in GER
tain parts of the Pacific and feared in
others; third, the long distances be-
tween landing points, and, fourth, the
lack of intermediate points having an
active trade.
The estimated cost of the British
Pacific cable, for single cable connect
ing Vancouver with Australia and
New Zealand, is placed at about
$1,000, 600, including two repairing
ships and a sum of SIZE, 900 for main
enance of the cable for six months.
he president of one of the cable
companies of New York estimates
that the total capital cost of a cable
to Japan, Australia and the Philip
pines, by way of Hawaii, at 12,000,-
coo, and the cost of maintenance, in
Guiding two repairing ships and of
operating expenses, at $300,0 900 a year.
1t is not considered that a single cable
will be sufficient TO insure permanent
communication, and any scheme for
Pacific cable must provide eventual
~ for duplicate cables throughout the
entire route, SO that the total capital
cost of a thoroughly reliable and eff
,ient Pacific cable system may be put
down at approximately $4,000, 900,
which would include two repairing
ships, a reasonable quantity of spare
cable and the equipment of operating
stations at the various landing points,

Some Queer Riddles

There are quite n number of people
who collect musical Instruments. Men
have been known to pay tremendous
prices for yiolins Of rare make, merely
to place these instruments in collections
they are making of such things.
One of the greatest iiddles that ever
was known vas to be seen at the French
court in the time of Charles the Ninth.
This vas n viol SO large that several
boys could be placed inside of it. The
boys used t. sit inside this queer instru-
ment and sing the airs hat the man
who handled the bow was playing on
the viol outside. The effect is said to
have been very beautiful, though it
would seem as ii the presence of the
lads in its interior would seriously iu-
tarfere with the tone of the great iid-
die" as it was called. Many years
after another huge instrument of this
kind was used ut concerts in Boston. 1t
was so large that to play it the fiddler
mad to stand on Il table to use his bow
at the proper point on the strings. This
instrument was called the grandfather
of iddlos. "-Harper'S Young People.

A LOVE- STORY OF MODERN DAYS


ooh, now, Gertruder' says Miss Priscilla,
, much shocked. But Madame O'Connor only
laughs heartily, and gives her a little smart
blow on the shoulder with her fan. Olga
laughs too, gayly, AMI Hernia lets her lips
part with one of her rare but perfect smiles.
! II she likes any one besides olga and her
! children, IL is bluff and blunt old Gertrude
O'Connor.
One by one they all walk away, and pres
emily Moyne Is 4 lying In the dying sunshine,
I'm all It's qiiictude, with never a sound to
disturb the calm Of coming eve but the light
rustling of the rising breeze among the ivy
leaves that are clainbcring mp its ancient
walls.
Kit and Terry are indoors, lau ching mer-
rily over the day, and congratulatlng them
selves upon the success it has certainly
been.
"Yes. do think, Penelope, they all en-
| joyed themselves" says Miss Priscilla, In
high CLEO, land your clarct-cup, my dear,
was superb"
30 Monica has stolen away from them
all. The strange restlessness that has lain
upon her all day Is asserting itself with cruel
vigor, and drives her forth into the shadows
of the coming night.
All day long size has struggled bravely
against ii; but, now that the enforced
necessity for loneliness is at an end, she
grows dreamy, diSfrditc, and feels an in
tense longing for solitude and air.
Again she waIksthrough the now deserted
garden, where the flowers, 'earth's lowell
est, are drooRing their sweet heads to seek
their happy sinnIbers. Past them she goes
with lowered bead and thoughts ~engrosscd,
and so over the lawn into the wood beyond.
Here Cooie and Moyne are connected by q
high green bank, that in ear,y spring Is stud
ded and dianoAded with primr0ses and now
is gay with ferns. Not until she has reach
ed this boundary does she remember how
far she has come.
She climbs the bank, and gazes with an
eyer-growing longing at the cool shade in
the forbidden land, at the tall, stately trees,
and foxglOves nodding drOwSily.
1t is a perfect evening, and az yet the god
of day-syreat S0l-riding the heavens with
Triumphant mirtl, as though reckless Of the
death that draweth nigh. Shall he not rise
again tomorrow morn in all his awful mai
esty, and so defy grim Mars? 1t is, Indeed,
one of those hours when heaven seems
nearest earth, 'as when warm sunshine
thrills wood-glooms to gold" and right
eousness and peace have kissed each other"
and Nature, tender mother, smiles, and all
the forest deeps are by "a tender whisper
pierced"
Conscience forbi1ding her, she abstains
from entering these coveted woods, and,
with q sigh, seats herself upon the top Of
the green bank.

not close to her, -mystcriously, far up in

Concerning SmilaX

"SmilaX," said the florist to the n. Y.
SIN man, sis Just as fashionable for
decorating purposes now as it was ten
years ago. 1t is one of the few small
leaved crecpey5 that we have, and, while
it never attains the luXuriance with us
that ii does ia the tropics, its lack Of
rank growth gives it just that delicacy
OF appearance that makes it SO valuable
and useful.
"A peculiar thing about smilax is that
Notwithstanding its hardness and free
growth it will not grow at all unless
the conditions are exactly right. Most
people Kill ii al the start 10y pacing the
vine right in the sunniest window. As
II matter of fact, smilax, like ferns, re-
quires a shady place, though | do not
mean by that n dark, close corner. An
other popularity of the plant is that
while it requires plenty of air it will die
IN draught. In a word, when you
try to grow smiIaX you must try 10 re-
produce the natural conditions under
which it grows as nearly as possible,
and those are warmth, moisture and
plenty of quiet air. One of the best
places for your box OF smilax is at the
side OF a sunny window.
"SmilaX will grow either from seeds
or bulbs but | guess you will find the
best results and you will no doubt get
the specdiest results from bulbs. As
soon as the sprouts appear start a net
work of threads to the Eox and carry
the threads wherever You want the
plant TO go--around the window. across
the window, or festooned among the
pictures. Don't give the roots any wa
ter to speak of until the leaves appear
and then, was going to say, you can
hardly give them too much water.
Another mistake that most people
make about smilaX is that of thinking
the plant is dead because the leaves
turn yellow. That's the end or one life
but not of the plants life. When tho
leaves begin to turn, water but very
little, and when the foliage is dead take
up the bulbs, pack them away where it
is dry and cool for a couple of months
or so and then they'll he rested out suf-
iiciently TO begin raising another family
