JPaor Logic.
Tho Chineso argument in favor of
keeping tho feet of women bound is an
ingomons oriental presentation of the
usnal occidental reasons formerly given
against women's education, for keeping
their minds and wills in fetters. In
the letter of our correspondent from
China there is- told tho story of a visit
to foot swathed Chiurso ladies. The
preference for too small feet is explain
11I in a way that reads very much like
tho reasons offered nowadays by " re
nionrtrants" against women going out
of their 8phere" into tho interests of
tho life of politics. ThoChincss women
mnst not le allowed to walk freely
and tho exercise of nil tho wuwlcs of
their feet, for fear of seeming nnwua
anly to nieu. American women liuiht
not lie given political freedom for very
mu;h tho same reasons. Tha logic is
aliont the same in both cases. And in
both the nued of freedom la the same.
For women to bceoiuo freer and strong'
cr, thero is notiiirg like an enlarged
horizon in life and udded responsibility.

Mrs. Molesworth, one of the cleverest
and most renowned of all the modern
writers for children, is a woman of
Scotch and English blood, born in Hol
land. She is a grave, gentle, rather
dedicate looking creature, with a slight
figure and soft, hrown hair, parted on
her forehead. She is a believer in me
thodical work, and her rule is to ait
down at a certain tir.ic and compel her
self to write to the end of two pages. If
by that time she finds that she has not
got into the spirit of ber work, 6be puts
it aside, but she generally finds that it
runs smoothly after the first effort.

Tlie following alarming episode la re
ported from Abassia, a watering place
on the gulf of Venice, as having oc
curred during tho recent sojourn of the
Servian court in the little seaside town.
Ring Alexander and his father were in
tho habit of taking their breakfast in the
open air along with the members or the
suit, who one morning had taken their
places at the table when the young king
and his father returned from a walk.
The former bade the gentlemen go on
with their breakfast, as lie intended to
have a bath first. King Milan and the
courtiers partook of their meaL and in
three-quarters of aa bonr King Alexan
der came back and was immediately
served with a cup of tea. Ho had no
sooner swallowed a large draft than In
dashed the enp to the ground anl made
a most horrid face. King Milan Jumped
up and exclaimed that it was poison. A
regular panic ensned among the mem
bers of the suit. The court physician
poured out another cupful and tasted it.
At that moment the chef hurried np.
quite pale with excitement, and said:
"I beg your majesty's pardon. I will
stake my head that there is no poisoning
in the case. It was the cook a mistake
He brewed tho tea with aea water instead
of spring water."
The king was the first to recover his
composnre and indulged in a hearty
laugh. Milan embraced his son and wept
aloud. The suit felt as if relieved from a
dreadful nightmare. Xeue Freie Presse.
A Rocky atoemtahi TanaeL
A notable engineering feat was ac
complished recently in the completion of
the boring of the Busk-Ivanhoo railway
tunnel under the continental divide of
tho Rocky mountains at Hagerman pass,
Colorado. The tunnel is almost two miles
long 0,393 feet and is through solid
gray granite. It took 3 years and 20
days, of 20 hours work each day, to boro
the big hole. It is 10,800 feet above sea
level through the top ridge of tho conti
nent. The water draining from the one
side of the mountain under which it is
driven runs to the Atlantic ocean, and
from the other to the Pacific Its con
struction has cost f 1,000,000 and 20 hu
man lives. The tunnel, which is on the
line of the Colorado Midland railway,
the Santa Fe's central route to Califor
nia, substitutes two miles of track for
ten and does away with one of the most
expensive railway climbs in the world.

Wliea a Cklneae Itank Fail.
Bank notes were issued in China as
early as the ninth century, when tho art
of printing was nnknowu in Europe.
These notes have generally been redeem
ed, because in China, when a bank fails,
all the clerks and managers havo their
heads chopped off and thrown in aheap
along with tlio books of tho firm. And
so it has happened in those good old bar
barous times that for the past 500 years
not a single Chinese bank has suspend
ed payment
Now that China is coming under the
sway of western civilization, we have
no doubt it will have the same financial
troubles as its more civilized banking
brethren. Chambers' Journal.
