If it is necessary to fit a gored or

OUT be quite sure to fit the skirt at
each seam, and not make the altera-

the proportionate width of the cores

necessary detail to good tailored and

A gentleman told me. Of witnessing
4 courtroom scene in the interior. of
China, where a man who refused to
confess was struck on the ankle bone
with a mallet until he tainted from
the hideous pain-the bone being
crushed to jelly.
, The most dreadful of all executions
in China is the ling chez, or hundred
cuts, where the condemned man is
given 80 cuts on different parts of the
body, contrived with such devilish
cunning that death does not come
until the last cut, reaching the heart,
puts them out OF their agony.
This execution is only administered
for three crimes; attempted assassina-
ton of the emperor or empress, the
killing of father or mother or the kill
ing of husband by wife. The killing
of a wife by husband is not so seri-
Gus a matter.
In China a man must sign his own
death warrant by mixing his thumb
and making the impression of it on the
paper. Chinese law, when once it has
a man in it's clutches, is loath to give
him up whether he be innocent or
guilty. So If he does not sign the war
rant willingly he is tortured until he
does it in sheer desperation.
Political prisoners, who are SEN
fenced to Punishment, seldom reach
the place of their destination, for after
such a sentence there is almost always
an accident, either by the chair in
which he is carried being tipped while
on a bridge by one of the coolies
stumbling and thrown into the river,
where there is no hope of escape from
the clumsy, tightly-closed affair, or
else the banished one is mysteriously
attacked by highwaymen and mur-
dered.
All executions of any sort are free
for anyone, man, woman or child, to
witness. And the effect of that uni.
versal and deadly system of bribery is
only too apparent, a system that saps
the strength and ability of China to
become great country, for from one
end Of the kingdom to the other there
is no disinterested desire for ad.
