To Cure shyinR Horaes.

Horses often have what is called the
vice of shying, that is, of starting sur
denly at the rustic of leaf or piece
of paper, or at the approach of any
object to which they are not accus-
toned. Clearly this is the remnant of
an instinct inherited from their wild
progenitors in the steppes or prairies,
where the sudden rustling Of a leaf
might indicate the presence of wolf,
and where everything that was strange
was, therefore, suspicious. It is idle
as we'll as cruel to beat horse for
shying. That only increases his alarm,
and may easily reduce him to, a state
of terror in which he loses his head
entirely. Horses in that state seem
to lose not only their heads, but their
perceptive senses, and a horse in that
condition may dash headlong against
a stone wall. The habit of shying,
when once formed, is difficult to cure,
but it may almost always be pre-
vented by such consistent kindness of
treatment as to overpower the in
herited instinct of instant flight from
possible danger in which the habit
originates.-Our Animal Friends.

QUEER ORDER FOR sEAMEN.
English Jackies Obliged to Blacken Up
on Certain Occasions.

English Jackies Obliged to Blacken Up
on Certain Occasions.
A regular order on board certain of
England's vessels of war, and one de-
livered by an officer with his own
hands and face artistically BACKED, is,
"All hands black faces!" When, eth
er during the maneuvers or in war
time, it is determined that torpedo or
gunboats shall attack at night, every
living soul on board is ordered to
black up of the same dingy color as
is borne by the whole vessel or all it's
outward parts, for the single speck of
light color afforded by one human face
might spoil the whole plan of a des-
perate attack. All the officers of tor
pedo vessels and gunboats keep, as
part of their kit, a special pigment, of
very much the same kind as that used
by stage darkies, ever ready for emer-
gencies, and one torpedo order book
has special recommendations as to
backing up for the men. Then, again.
all steam launch and boats crews Or
dered off on mining, accommodating
and other duties are compelled to
blacl1en all parts of their skins that
may show; and no man is exempt,
however high his degree in the serv-
Ice. Military officers defending har-
bors and working torpedoes from the
shore are also ordered on no account
to show themselves at night near the
defenses unless blackened up.

CHINESE FOOT BINDING.

Opposition Developing to That An.
Gent and Torturing Custom.
Some influential Cinnamon are now
advocating the abolition of that shock
ing and crue! custom of foot binding so
prevalent in the celestial empire. How
common this custom is in China and
how fatal to the welfare of the women
is little appreciated in America. Some
Chinese girls are permitted to go with
unbound feet until they are years
old, when the time arrives for the
bandaging process to begin, and the
golden lilies" as these deformed feet
are called, must be nodded. The ban
dage used for this purpose is made of
substantial webbing two and one-half
inches wide. The process consists prac-
tically in doubling the toes and heels
together, with the toes, except the big
one, bent under. The women, when the
object has been accomplished, and the
foot is encased in the tiny shoe, stand
upon the tip of the heel and the tip of
accomplished at once, but it is the
product of long and torturing ordeal.
At first the bandages are applied rather
loose, but periodically they are drawn
tighter and tighter, as the feet yield to
The pressure of the webbing. The heel,
when the foot is encased in the shoe,
rests on a tiny platform of wood fitted
above and behind the heel for that pur-
pose. The suffering endured by the
victim during the process is beyond de-
scription, and it is not an uncommon
occurrence for outraged nature to pro-
test, and such diseased condition of
the feet to ensue as to render neces-
( sary their amputation. Sometimes the
children will not submit to the opera
ton, and their obstinacy results in
saving the feet. Many children cry
through the long hours of the night
and bring on various nerve troubles.
The New York Tribune states that feet
are bound to smaller size in Foochow
than in any other part of China, for
the fashionable shoe is only two and
4 half inches long, and the consequent
assure where the sole of the
foot should be is about three
inches deep. The feet of a Chinese
woman WELD an important influence
over her life. When she is to be be-
trothed the size of her feet must be
ascertained for the sutton, and great
is the disappointment if the BRIDES
feet prove larIer than anticipated.
When the wedding day arrives the
bride draws the bandages as snugly as
possible. The soles of the tiny shoes
are purchased with holes ready made
in the wood near the border, in order
that the wearer may embroider the
shoes and stitch them to the wooden
soles, for the women make their own
shoes.

He PLAYED.

A stage manager of varied experi-
ence tells of rehearsal of the orches-
ira in small town. He tried hard to
bring the rural musicians into line, and
succeeded fairly we'll except with the
mani who played the flute. Finally the
stage manager became desperate, and
exclaimed:
Look here, my friend; you stay out
of this. You're no good, and you can't
play"
The flute man calmly looked up ano
made reply:
eff I don't play, you don't; I'm the

you a license. STRAY Stories.
