"Miss Colton will leave Bsrlin

her study is theological and she
intends to give lectures later on
upon comparative religion with

Big Feet For Chinese Women,
AVr; 1 mi n rrhrr M maaon rrar 1
It is likely that the neyt gen
eration of Chimes women will
have feet of normal size and
that the custom of centuries
which required the women of
the Flowery Kingdom to hobble
around on feet the siz9 of infant s'
ciused by the feet being bandaged
from the time they are small
children will be done away with
iSaveral years ago the dowager
empress issued a decree prohib
iting the bandaging of the feet
of female infants. She has just
found that this order has been
ignored to a great extent and she
has issued another to the same
nnrnnrt and in order to make it
effective it is decreed that no
man shall be eligible to any office
in whose family there is female
whose feet were not allowed to
mi -
i grow to the natural size, inis
franchise qualification will no
doubt have the desired effect.

of the approaches to the walls.
But the camp reveals that tho
relations between Israel and
Eypt were not always such as
have been supposed; that time
brought its revenges, and that a
great wall was built around the
camp by the skilled masons of
E?ypt a wall of finest limestone,
in blocks brought from the hills
twenty five miles away. Truly,
when one contemplates this link
of continuity of labor between
the pyramids and the Assuan
dam, one begins to sympathize
with the Egyptians as a race
who have never been allowed to
cease from their building. A very
interesting model of this
primeval camp is among the
exhibits. Not less fascinating is a
piece of temple sculpture rep
resenting Ramesas 11, slaying a
Syrian before the Atmu. It form
ed one of the temple as the
Israelite city of Rameses at Tell
el Retabeh. By the ancient site
Avaris found the great mound
and temple which Ouias, the high
priest, built, He had fled from
the persecutions of Antiachus
Epiphanes and come to Egypt
about 159 B. C. to found a new
Jerusalem and raise a temple to
Jehovah where the Jew might
worship in peace. One of the
most singular discoveries in
connection with this temple was
apiece of the builders' account
shewing bricks to" have been
delivered by a Jew named
Abram together with othar
details, which corroborates these
that are set down in the history
of Josephus.
