hipped, and they stand straight as they.
walk along the streets with swing.
Their feet are not bound like those
of the Chinese women, nor do they
fear to look a man In the face.
Indeed, they seem to dress for the.
streets And such dressing! They wear
ypantaloons, but over them long coats
coming down to the ankles. The coats
are often of silk lined with fur Every
girl paints her cheeks and eyelids with
rouge, and her head is more gorgeously
dressed than those of any other women
of Asia. She has a silver framework,
which rises over her crown like the
comb Of a rooster, and about this she,
twists her black locks in q gorgeous
creation. The marcel wave or the POM
spadour would be Puritanlike In MuR-3
den.
Some of the women have plates Of
silver. gold Or other metal 10 inches
long and two or three inches wide,
which they fasten on the back of the
head. They wrap their hair round 1t
so that it stands out like great wings
on each side. They go out upon the
streets without hats and seem proud
OF their clothes
b These women have shoes OF various
kinds. Some wear footgear of silk and
satin with thick flat soles like those
of the men. Others have beautiful shoes
built upon soles three times as high as
the spool-heels used by our ladies, and
such shoes are even more inconvenient.
for walking. The soles themselves are
quite thin, but attached to them are
wooden supports, which extend down
from the center of the shoe, much like
a French heel Such shoe is the badge
( Of a lady, for no working woman could
wear them Another badge OF high
blood is the long finger nail, protected
by sheath of silver or gold to keep
it from breaking. 49,
THE STORES OF MUKDEN.

Mukden and not be impressed by Its

children
And then the caps Of Mukden! They
are Of all kinds, and can be seen by.
the hundreds on any main street. Ihey
are stacked up outside on shelves,
which are laid up along the walls of.
silk and felt. with rolls which can be
turned down to cover the ears. There
are also hat and cap. stores, and
places where fur ear-tabs are sold.
HOT WATER PEDDLED.
One OF the queerest of the Mukden
street sounds Is q shrill whistle which
may be heard in almost every block.
1T Is long and loud and continuous.
Still 1t took me. some time to learn
whence 1t came. AT first I thought it
might be tho whistles these people tie
to the tails of their pigeons to scare
of the hawks: but I afterward learned
1t was the advertising cry of the hot
water on the streets as a business.
This is the occupation OF many men
in Mukden. They have great Tartar
samovars made like gigantic tea ket-i
ties. The kettles have a stove pipe
in the middle, connecting with another
the bottom. In the latter pipe some
charcoal is lighted. As it burns the
pipe warns the water and the steam
Is forced out, not through the spout,
but through an opening on top which
lis whistle, of the same shape as
the tin two-penny affairs used by our
schoolboys. The steam blows the
vertises itself. The people come to
such men with their tea kettles and
Cruel. They pay q fraction of a cent
for enough to make tea for family.
and thus save the expense Of keeping
a fire.
b A great many of the Manchu cook
ing utensils are made of brass or cop
per. Not far from the Drum Tower
is long street devoted to brass stores.

SOME QUEER MEDICINES
Connected with the fur business ara
certain drugs. which come in as a bv.
product. Among these are tigers,
bones and claws. Several thousand
pounds of tigers bones are annunllv
exported from Manchuria to China
ana the deer horns used for the same
purpose numbered 1,600 pairs in ons
year "A good p; = of such horns il
worth S25, and one with many antlers
will bring as much as 5000.
The Manchus use dog meat as med,.
cine, and as a rule the flesh of a black
dog is considered the best. Not lone
ago q German consul came here
bringing two pet dachshunds along,
one was brown and the other black.
At about the same time a Chinese
doctor had Manchu mandarin as
{ one of his patients, and was trying to
cure him. The mandarin had the
dropsy. against which the doctors
tiger bones and cats claws did not
avail One day the doctor saw the
German consul going along with his
puppies. and he straightwav told his
patient that the only medicines that
would really cure his dropsical legs
were two long-barreled short-legged
dogs with dropping ears.
What you need said he. ''is to get
q black dog Of that species for your
right leg, and brown dog OF the
same breed for your left leg, Cook
their meat into stews. and the rich
broth will flow down your legs and
drive out the dropsy."
The mandarin thereupon sent out
his servants and the dachshunds were
soon In the SOUP. When the consul
came to look them UP, he was told
that he would find them in the right
and left legs of the offender.

of tMr stores and streets devoted to the
making and selling Of silver copper

three strands, 50 that they can easily
be braided together, forming a beauu-
full queue. Many Chinese men are In
clined to badness, and they buy this
hair to braid into their few remaining
locks, thus making a false pigtall OF

silk is used for this purpose.
