The percentage of foreigners in the

CHlNA'S CRIPPLED WOMEN.
All the Women Old and Young Have
Crippled Feet.

Despite certain efforts at reform Chi
ma is still binding the feet of it's wo-
men. A traveller writes: All the wo-
men met old and young. have mutila-
ted feet. Imperial DEGREES exhort the
people to discontinue the practice, and
some enlightened people have done so.
But the custom in thes central prov
ince3 is practically universal. Chinese
writer's in English journals speak of
the custom as having been already
abandoned, but nobody who travels in
the interior of the empire is yet able
to note any apparent Improvement
The anti-foot-bindng society, founded
by the energy of Mrs. Archibald Little,
has been untiring in it's efforts to re-
duce the evil. 1t has accomplished a
great deal.
Some high officials have publicity
stigmatized the custom, which the rul-
ing race have never practced, but I
doubt whether, all told. in spite of all
the work done by Mrs. Little and other
philanthropists. per cent of the wo-
men of China are blessed with natural

by the ministry of education on Jan. ID

In these it is ordained that no girl shall
be admitted to school who dresses in

1t is one of the wisest regulations yet
issued in China, and will have more

JAPANESE HEROISM.
Message Written BY Lieu. Tsutoma
Sakuma While Submarine Foundered.

Subjoined is the translation of mes
sage written by Lieutenant Tsutoma
Sakuma, who was in command of the
Japanese submarine No. 6, which found
cred while maneuvering in Hiroshima
Bay. The message was found in the con-
ming tower of the submarine after she
had been brought to the surface.
1t is with the deepest regret that /
write this message to describe the loss
of this boat with my fellow officers and
men. due to my own fault. l would here
specially mention that all steps have
been taken to raise her, my comrades
and men working earnestly and calmly
till the end. I ordered the ship to dive
with the engine running, but as I found
she went down too far, I tried to shut
the valves which admit the sea water to
the ballast tank, but unexpectedly the
chain working these valves broke, and
was left helpless, unable to control the
boat. Meanwhile the tanks filled with
water and the boat went down at an in
cline of about % degrees. After striking
the bottom the water began rushing in;
the switchboard was immersed in water;
all electric lights went out the fuses
poisonous gases, so that we experienced
the greatest difficulty in breathing.
Under these conditions we worked our
very utmost with the hand pumps to
empty the main ballast tank. which, | be-
leve, We succeeded in doing, although
we could not read the gauges owing to
darkness. No electric current was avail
able, as l mentioned before, and our last
hope of rising to the surface lay in work.
