We do not, say the N. C. Daily News of the 14th instant, intend to re-open any discussion about the Tien-tsu-hul, but it is as well to give publicity to a suggestion made by one of the leading Chinese residents of Shanghal, by following which the object the Tiên-ian-hui has in view may be realised. It is that fastead of making an appeal to the women of Chins, steps should be taken to form a Society of men who would pledge themselves to prevent their dughters feet being crippled, and if the reform fastinted should kinder their matriage in the ordinary way, marriages could be specially arranged amongst the sons and daughters of the members of the Society. Some years ago a Society of this sort was, according to car coa temporary, established la Canton, but it was too Umited in membership for any real good to be *ffected.

In February last the North China Daily News called attention to the exceedingly

anitary condition of the slaughter-houses at Pahalento, Shaughst, where cattle and sheep for the consumption of foreigners have for many years, been sl.ughtered. The Municipal”||Council · ·goon took the matter In Band and caused the erection of abattoirs where the principles of sanitation and proper cleanliness are to be strictly enforced. These abattoirs have. It seems, now been com pleted and a moderate tax of 75 cents per head for ozen and 5 cents per how! for sheep (to be paid by the dealers or butchers when cattle and sheep are housed in the Municinal cattle sheds adjolalog the slaughter-house) Imposed. No valld reason has been given by the butchers for objecting to pay the tax la difficult to understand how any could be raised question-and It is and yet we and it reparted in the ostumes of our Shanghel contemparasi of the 14ah fastant, that the whole of the butchers of the Model "Settlement have gone out az steiks with 's view to causing the Municipal Council to rescind the new Regulations, much in the same way as tho cargo-bost coolies and lampers' of Hongkong recently attempted to bring to nought the new conile lodging house regulations, and suc ceeded only in rendering themselves the laughingitsek of the European community. Unlike the Hongkong strikers, however, the Shinghillanders aro alded, if not actually led, by foreigner, a butcher of Nanking Road named Hall, he a short time sgs set up la the business professedly to oppose nation knaver and to ensure the supply of properly killed and wholesome ment, and for these reasons he met with considerable support from the foreign.cool- manity.
