A Woman's hard Lot in China.
Barbaric Treatment to Which She is Subjected,—
Her Condition Slowly Improving.
The emancipation of women move-
ment has not obtained a foothold in
China, the most populous country on
the earth, but the position of women
there has been unquestionably improved.
Formerly it was terrible, and it is so
perhaps even now in the unexplored in-
terior. Girls were confined to their
parents’ houses, and only occupied with
handiwork, Everybody especially their
brothers, treated them with contempt.
If they possessed natural feet, they were
compelled to perform the lowest menial
labor. They knew nothing of the
amusements of their age. They were
neither sent to school nor taught to read
or write, and their training was limited
to an instruction in the use of the
needle. A maiden that was not abso-
lutely ignorant was the exception.
Before her marriage nobody paid any
attention to her. She was of so little
consequence that she was not even con-
gulted in this important incident of her
life, a custom that has undergone no
change to thisday. She was not sven
informed of the name of her future hus-
band, but only regard as merchandise,
to be sold to anybody without protest.
Tt is true that she was elegantly attired
on her wedding day, but that was no
recompense for the sad future that
formed her lot.
At home, although neglected, she
was surrounded by friendly faces to
which she had been accustomed from
childhood ; but now, young, delicate,
and inexperienced, she was cast among
total strangers, had to obey her parents-
in- law and new relatives implicitly,
and to endure from them and her hus-
band all manner of ill-treatment with-
outso much 8s. a murmur. She was
not permitted to eat with the latter or
her own sons, but was obliged to look
on and wait upon them before she was
allowed to partake of her own simple
fare in an obscure corner. Her husband
could choke and beat her whenever he
felt disposed to ; it even became the bon
ton to cudgel the fair spouses, anda man
was obliged —if he didn’t want to ex-
pose himself to ridicule-~to beat his wife
even if he was sincerely attached to her.
Cases in which wives died of starvation
are onrecord. No wonder then that
many of these unfortunate creatures re-
sorted to suicide—hanging being gener-
ally preferred to continued domestic
misery. ‘When a Chinaman lost his
wife in this manner, he evinced the
greatest sorrow, but only because of the
expense attendant upon the purchase of
another mate. This reason has often
inclined poor Chinamen to treat their
wives with consideration—as a matter
of frugality.
A large number of these unfortunate
married women belong to a sect, the
cardinal principle of which is total ab-
stinence from animal food. By em-
bracing vegetarianism these women be-
lieve that they will become men, when
they again come to earth on the day of
regeneration. They also institute sev-
eral pilgrimages annually.
A Chinese author said : “A young
wife should be an echo and shadow to
us at our home.”” The celebrated Pan-
Hui-Pan endeavored to disparage her
own sex by writing: ‘Woman should
always be reminded of the low: position
which she occupied at the creation the
world. When ason is born, he may
sleep in bed, is clad iu beautiful gar-
ments, and plays with pearls. Every-
body obeys him. But when a girl is
born, she sleeps upon the ground, is en-
wrapped in a simple cloth, and may
only play with tiles. She must only
think of preparing wine and food, and
of not vexing her parents.” The same
author relates that it was customary in
ancient times to place new-born daugh-
ters for three days upon a little heap of
rags—if they were not suffocated imme-
diately after birth—and she praises “the
wisdom and propriety of this custom,”
which was so “well adapted to give
woman a timely impression of her in-
feriority."’
Tt is very difficult to obtain informa-
tion in regard to the aversion of Chinese
parents in female offspring. Many off
the stories told about this disaffection
are, however untrue. It is true that a
boy is never put to death in China and
that many female babies are (the Gov-
ernment foundlings’ home for female in-
fants in the large cities point to this),
but the number of these murders in
comparison to the enormous population
is almost insignificant. The crime is
generally committed in consequence of
want, and only 1n poor families.
A Chinaman has reason to prefer sons.
‘When parents die their sons render them
all honor, pay homage to their ‘‘tablets
of ancesters,”’ thing that cannot be done
by daughters. Sons remain at home
after marriage and support their parents
“in old age, while daughters enter the
house of their husband, cause expense
to their parents by marrying, and as
with us, exchanging their family name
for that of their husband. Briefly,
then, while sons are a support, daughters
are a burden. No wonder, therefore,
that the birth of the former should be
hailed with more joy than that of the
latter. With the exception that no
colored eggs are presented by relatives
and friends, the ceremonial at the birth
of a girl is about the same as at that of
a boy. After allis said, the truth re-
mains that in general Chinese parents
love their children as much as Eu.
ropean mamas ani papas.
Girls are not as well educated as boys
because they would have no opportuni-
ty to utilize their knowledge, and edu-
cation for its own sake is a laxury
which only the rich can bestow upon
their daughters.
Three days after birth a name is giv-
en to the girl baby and its ears are per-
forated for earrings. During the opera-
tion no blood must flow, therefore the
ear-laps are rubbed with boiled rice un-
til they are anmsthetic. Thereupon
they are perforated with needle and
thread ; the latter, being saturated with
oil, is left to remain in the wound.
Bovs also often wese earrings.
“Another peculiarity of Chinese maid-
enhood is the famous custom of pro-
ducing small feet by compression. The
origin of this deformity is not known ;
‘even the most cducated know nothing
of it. Itis said that the Empress Takki
of the Shang dynasty had club feet, and
implored her husband to order the
Court ladies to produce a similar de-
formity of their pedal extremities.
According to another authcrity, a
favorite of the Emperor Ting-Hain-Chio
(Tang dynasty, 800 A. D.) had the idea
of compressing her feet, which was
quickly imitated.
These versions are both improbable,
for the ruling race of the empire, the
Tartars, never disfigure the feet of their
daughters, and girls with deformed feet
are excluded from the imperial harem,
and are not even permitted to enter the
alace. An unusually small foot is
ooked upon, however, as an evidence
of refinement, although not always as
anindication of wealth. The diminu-
tion of the feet in generally produced in
a very simple manner. The growth of
these extremities is usually checked in
the fifth or sixth year. The foot is so
firmly bandaged that the circulation al-
most ceases, and the toes are tightly
compressed. After being bandaged the
foot is putin a short, narrow-pointed
shoe, in which a little block of wood is
often used to support the heel. This
makes it appear as though the girl
walked upon her toes. The ankles al-
ways retain their natural size There-
upon the shoe is again wrapped in band,
ages, which gives it awkward appear-
ance. Stockings are not worn. A foot
that is so treated assumes the fashiona-
ble form in two or three years by a grad-
ual atrophy. The poor, deluded victims
of course, endure terrible pains during
this time. The skin and parts of the
flesh often ulcerate, and, in case of neg-
lect, incurable disease not infrequently
results,
The idea current in this country that
iron or wooden shoes are employed for
this process is erroneous; only cloth
bandages and leather shoes are used.
The soles of the latter are from 3 to
4} inches in length, Girls with these
deformed feet cannot walk naturally,
but possess a mincing gait and waddle.
The steps are short. No matfer how
strong, it is impossible for a girl with
such feet to carry any burden, or fo per-
form any work that necessitates locomo-
tion. The parents of girls with small
feet only marry them to men whose
mothers and sisters likewise possess
diminutive feet, thus forming a sort of
caste—the only one in China.
But to return to the position of Chin-
ese women in society and family life,
that is to say their present position.
For some decades the position of China-
women in some parts of the Empire
where the natives came in contact with
foreigners has materially improved, evi
dently due to the sanitary effects of free
intercourse, social and commercial, with
strangers.
Many Mongolians visit foreign coun-
tries and take a lesson from the ‘West-
ern devils” in the treatment of the fair-
er sex. Catholic and Protestant mis-
sioneries have also done much to im-
prove the condition of Chinese women,
but the fact remains that the Chinese
hate Christianity, and only reluctantly
accept advice from monotheists.
In many respects a Chinawowan is
better off than her European sister.
The ‘absence of drunkenness removes
frequent cause of differences and quar-
rels between married people, and the
beating of wives is a thing of the past.
The husband, it is true, possesses exten-
sive rights over the life and death of kLis
mate, but he seldom exercises them.

One on tha Court.
The judge of a western court was not
thoroughly posted on the case before
him, hut be was one of these men you
have probably beard of, who thinks he
knows it all.
“You are charged with horse-steal-

‘are you guilty or not guilty ?”
“Not guilty, your honor,” responded
the prisonor.
The court looked surprised.
“Do you mean to say the animal you
rode into town to-day, and which
was identified by half a dozen citizens,
was yours ?”’
“No your honor.”
* «Well, sir, did you buy it ?”
“No, your honor.”
“Did the owner present it to you as a
token of esteem ?”’ and the judge
smiled sarcastically.
“No, your honor,” and the prisoner
smiled a little himself.
«Didn’t you feloniously enter the sta-
ble of the owner of the animal, where it
was kept, in the dead of the night and
remove it forcibly without his consent
or knowledge ?”’
“Yes, your honor, more or less,” re-
plied the prisoner boldly.
“Well don’t you call that horsesteal-
ing 2?”
‘No, your honor.”
“And why not, pray ?”’ and the
judge was more sarcastic than ever.
‘Because it was a mule, your honor,”
and the prisoner guffawed at his own
joke to the extent of a $10 flne for con-
tempt of court.

Suggestion for a Summer Trip.
If you wish to take the trip of a liffe-
time, purchase the low rate excursion tickets
sold by all tprincipal lines in the United States
and Canada via the Northern Pacific Railroad
to Yellowstone National Park, Pacific coast
and Alaska.
The trip is made with the highest degree of
comfort in the elegant vestibuled trains of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, which carry dining
cars are luxurious Pullman sleeping cars
from Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis to
Montana and the Pacifi coast, without change,
and special Pullman sleepers from St. Paul
and Minneapolis to Yellowstone Park.
The scenery en route is the most magnificent
to be found in the seven states through which
the road passes. Beautiful mountains, rivers
valleys, lakes and plains follow each other in
rapid succession to delight the tourist, who
will also find interest in the agricultural, min-
ing, lumbering, industrial and other interests
associated with the development of the great
Northwest.
The crowning glory of the trip through {he
Northwest, however, is the visit to Yellowstone
Park, the land of hot springs, geysers and gor-
geous canons, and to Alaska with its endless
oceans channels, snowcapped peaks, Indian
villages and giant glaciers.
If you wish to investigate this suggestion
further send to Charles S. Fee, General Pas-
senger Agent, N. P. F. R., St. Paul, Minn, for
copies of the handsomely illustrated “ Wonder-
lard” book, Yellowstone and Alaska folders.
