CHINESE woMAN's FOOT.


M. Duval, pharmacien of French
colonial troops, has succeeded in TAX
ing photographs Of the deformed foot
OF a Chinese woman, a very difficult
thing to do, as it is considered most
improper for a woman to expose her
foot A Catholic servant Of the hos
pital at Tien-Tsin, Pechili, at the re-
quest of the sister superior, allowed
him to take the photographs. In Eu
rope woman considers that she has
small foot when it is twenty-five to
twenty-three centimeters from toe to
heel. but in China thirteen centimeters
among the elegant and seventeen or
eighteen among the working classes is
the figure. The reformation begins at
three and only terminates at sixteen or
eighteen years of age. The process is
painful, the foot being bandaged SO as
to press the toes under the sole of the
foot. The photographs show that be-
sides the bending of the toe bones I'M
der the sole. the bones of the foot are
less thick than in the normal foot. Only
about two-thirds of the women of
China undergo this reformation, which
has to be maintained by bandage at
ter it is done, and causes a peculiar
gait.

FIRE DEPARTMENT HOLDS.
MOST EXCITING MEETIN G..

Excitement was the chief order at the
regular meeting of volunteer fire bril-
Satle last Tuesday evening. The con-
dtion of the fire hall was the chief
topic of discussion. Some Of the young
men who had used the hall on several
occasions were charged with negli-
gence in the matter of properly clean
ing the building after using it. The
Young men denied the allegation.
Words passed between several of the
members and for a time it looked as
though trouble was brewing, but calm
er judgment prevailed and it was re-
solved to establish stricter regula tions
in the letting Of the hall.

TOO | Q. MANY COOKS
THE. BUILDING INDUSTRY:
Make an Unpalatable Mess
to the Injury Of
Labor.
Building Trades Cannot Unite
and Harmonic by Dual
Organization.

1t 1t be true that in many coun-
sellers there is safety" the building
trades of the country should be secure
against those troubles which at times
are experienced by other labor organ
1zatlons. The realization of the truth
OF the quotation, however, depends
largely upon the disposition and mo-
t1ves OF the councillors. Since the
organization, in 1897, of what is
known as the National Building
Trades Council, other bodies of build
ing trades have been formed until
three varieties are now blooming, with
more OR less vigor, in the field of la
hor. The avowed purpose of each of
these organizations is ITO unite the
building trades of the country; to pro-
mote harmony, and secure unity Of ac-
ton In all matters involving the mu-
tua1 interests of the allied trades"
Zach variety Of counsellors discredits
the wisdom and honesty of the 9TH
ers, and have devised other methods
by which the purposes stated can be
accomplished. 1t was said by some
OF those who are in the councils of
the American Federation of Labor
that the methods of the National
Building Trades Council were faulty
and objectionable, and the formation
OF local councils Of building trades.
allied with the federation was pro-
vlded for and encouraged These or
CARNATIONS were productive Of anoth-
er crop of counsellors under whose
guidance, 1t was said, success would
be. attained where others had failed.
But after several years of endeavor.
unity and harmony fingered in the
rear. This condition was favorable to
the propagation of another crop Of
leaders and counsellors of the "Struc-
tural Building Trades variety. These
councillors propose to DO what the
other varieties have filled to do,
namely, ito unite and harmonic the
building trades Of the country AS
the first step toward the accomplish
ment Of this desired purpose they dis
united from other organizations and
proceeded to form dual local bodies.
Eo those not of the multitude of
counsellors, it seems that separation is
not promotive of unity or that the
formation of dual organizations tends
IL,
also, to the layman that the way to
the harmonious and effective unifica-
ton of the building trades is seriously
obstructed by an overcrowding of as
sumed councillors and leaders, who,
with the grim determination to hold
their Irrespective followers in line, will
maintain an endless bushwacking
compaign which will make impossible
the realization Of the purposes they
so. vehemently proclaim.
Considering the present conditions,
the homely old saw, "Too many cooks
spoil the BROTH" is properly and
truthfully applicable to the building
trades situation. In fact, the broth
is spoiled and will remain spoiled so
long as each school of cooks casts in
the pot the ingredients of his partic-
ular recipe for the sole purpose of
converting the ingredients of the for
muia Of another cook into an unpala-
table mess. The Union Herald.

THE CRYING EVIL OF THE TIMES.

A Chicago millinery store has taken
out an injunction to prevent one OF
its women hat makers going to a rival
establishment.
Forty years ago Horace Mann said
at Boston: "The feudalism Of capital
is not one whit better than the feud-
alism of force. I may as we'll be de-
pendent upon a king for my bread
as to be dependent upon q capitalist
for my bread, and the time will come
when men will look back upon the
prerogatives Of capital with as severe
condemnation as we now look back
upon the predatory chiefs of the dark
ages"
What Is the crying evil Of the
times"' asked a reported for the Chi
cago Journal Of the ministers of the
Rock River conference. The secre-
tary. Rev. Matlock, promptly replied:
THE spirit of commercialism per-
meating every department Of life
craftsmanship, education, religion,
everything-I regard as the worst in
dication OF the times. Everyone asks,
What will it cost? What will it pay?'
1t is the cause of crime and wrong
doing of every sort. regard intem-
perance as another crying evil''
And Is not even the liquor traffic
carried on because OF the prime mo-
tive you named?' was asked. You
are right. Commercialism is at the
root of intemperance. Good men
would have abolished the liquor traf-
fic long ago had it not been for the
money in it that helped them to pay
their taxes
