The for every hour of six s of a girl's childhood, and by the ‘end of that time her foot is from three to five inches in length. In China in foot-binding the front part of the foot is bent down to meet the heel, breaking the instep and forming a large cleft vertically up the sole of the foot. That is foot- binding, and that is what 95 per cent of the Chinese girls suffer. The Chinese government, not many years ago, made a law that no more girls were to have their feet bound, but that was all: no penalty for any infringement of the law was fixed. Tt has been observed about as much as most of the Chinese laws, which is not at all. Sailor a Volunteer. From the Edinburgh Scotsman. A clergyman chose for his text the following words: “Which of you will go up with me to Ramoth Gilead?” Then, pausing, he again and again repeated the words.
