What a story of suffering that one word tells. It says: ‘I am all tired out. It seems to me I can hardly take another step. I haven’t a particle of ambition. I can’t do half the work I feel I must do. I am weak, nervous, depressed, discouraged. ”” That’s Impure Blood Now you know what the trouble is, you certainly know the cure,—a perfect Sarsaparilla. ae Sarsaparilla” is simply the name of the medicine, for in a perfect Sarsaparilla there are a great many remedies. Some act by taking out the bad; others, by putting in the good. You want a Sarsaparilla that will make your blood pure this spring, a Sarsaparilla that will make it rich and strong, a Sarsaparilla that is a powerful nerve tonic. You want the strongest and best Sarsaparilla that can be made.

Address CHINESE FOOT BINDING. ——— Opposition Developing to That An- clent and Torturing Custom, Some influential Chinamen are now advocating the abolition of that shock- ing and cruel custom of foot binding so prevalent in the celestial empire. How common this custom is in China and how fatal to the welfare of the women is little appreciated in America. Some Chinese girls are permitted to go with unbound feet until they are 6 years old, when the time arrives for the bandaging process to begin, and the “golden lilies,” as these deformed feet are called, must be molded. The ban- dage used for this purpose is made of substantial webbing two and one-half inches wide. The process consists prac- tically in doubling the toes and heels together, with the toes, except the big one, bent under. The women, when the object has been accomplished, and the foot is encased in the tiny shoe, stand upon the tip of the heel and the tip of the big toe. This, of course, cannot be accomplished at once, but it is the product of a long and torturing ordeal. At first the bandages are applied rather loose, but periodically they are drawn tighter and tighter, as the feet yie’d to the pressure of the webbing. The heel, when the foot is encased in the shoe, rests on a tiny platform of wood fitted above and behind the heel for that pur- pi The suffering endured by the tim during the process is beyond de- scription, and it is not an uncommon occurrence for outraged nature to pro- test, and such a diseased condition of the feet to ensue as to render neces- sary their amputation. Sometimes the children will not submit to the opera- tion, and their obstinacy results in saving the feet. Many children cry through the long hours of the night and bring on various nerve troubles. The New York Tribune states that feet are bound to a smaller size in Foochow than in any other part of China, for the fashiohable shoe is only two and a half inches long, and the consequent fissure where the sole of the foot should pe is about three inches deep. The feet of a Chinese woman wield an important influence over her life. When she is to be be- trothed the size of her feet must be ascertained for the suitor, and great sappointment if the bride’s ¢ prove lar; than anticipated. When the wedding day arrives the bride draws the bandages as snugly as D ble. The soles of the tiny shoes are pu sed with holes ready made in the wood near the border, in order that the wearer may embroider the shoes and stitch them to the wooden soles, for the women make their own shoes. QUEER ORDER FOR SEAMEN. English Jackies Obliged to Backen Up on Certain Ocens'ons. A regular order on board certain of England’s vessels of war, and one de- livered by an officer with his own hands and face artistically blacked, is, “All hands biack faces!” When, eith- er during the maneuvers or in war time, it is determined that torpedo or gunboats shall attack at night, every living soul on board ‘is ordered to black up of the same dingy color as is borne by the whole vessel or all its outward parts, for the single speck of ht color afforded by one human face t spoil the whole plan of a des- perate attack. All the officcrs of tor- pedo vessels and gunboats keep, as a part of their kit, a special pigmeni, of very much the same kind as that used by stage darkies, ever ready for emer- gencies, and one torpedo order book special recommendations as to blacking up for the men. Then, again, all steam launch and boats’ crews or- dered off on mining, reconnoitering and other duties are compelled to blacken all parts cf their skins that show; and no man is exempt, however high his degree in the serv- ice. Military ers defending har- bors and working torpedoes from the shore are also ordered on no account to show themselves at night near the defenses unless blackened up. To Cure Shying Horses. Horses often have what is called the vice of shying, that is, of starting sur- denly at the rustle of a leaf or a piece of paper, or at the approach of any object to which they are not accus- tomed. Clearly this is the remnant of an instinct inherited from their wild progenitors in the steppes or prairies, where the sudden rustling of a leaf might indicate the presence of a woit, and where everything that was strange was, therefore, suspicious. It is idle 2s well as cruel to beat a horse for shying. That only increases his alarm, and may easily reduce him to a state of terror in which he loses his head entirely. Herses in that state seem to lose not only their heads, but their perceptive senses, and a horse in that condition may dash headlong against a stone wall. The habit of shying, when once formed, is difficult to cure, but it may almost always be pre- vented by such consistent kindness of treatment as to overpower the in- herited instinct of instant flight from possible danger in which the habit originates.—Our Animal Friends.
