THE EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN IN MINES "
The more intelligent and thoughtful of the miners
themselves have repeatedly protested against it, but their
protests are of no avail. The employers state the

the
remedy lies in the hands of the men, who have but to kp
their wives and daughters at home, and the evil will be
checked at once. Very true, but does the misconduct, follY.
or what we will, of the men justify the employers in ho

truth is, female labour is plentiful and cheaper,
far cheaper.
than that of the men, and unscrupulous employers will be
found very slow in encouraging a change which may tend
to diminish their profits. There are very many collieries,
however, where no female labourers are allowed, and I have
not heard that the proprietors of these have b
thereby, If they did have to pay more for manual labour,
they had that labour far better and more effectively per
formed than if it had been done by females, while they
were exempt from the frightful amount of demoralization
entailed by the toleration of a pernicious and utterly unjus-
tifiable system.—Once a Week.
The French Legation at Teheran sent last spriog
to the Minister of Foreign Affairs a despatch ea
the subject of the breeding of silk worms, the following
analysis of which has just been published in the bulletin
of the Societe d'Acclimatation :—" Silk worms are pr

No malady has prevailed in any of these provinces although
no great care is taken of the worms. The establishment
is composed of a plank hut of four or five floors, open to ell
winds, and the worm, when once hatched, is left to itself.
Little or no attention is paid to the variations of temper
ture, the only care of the breeder being not to allow tn:
worms to want for food. One Swiss house (Acchart
and
Co.), and three Greek houses, do a very profitable busin°
in the province of Ghilan. As to the trade in silk wornie
eggs, it is unknown in Persia, and the Consul, who has
sent the account, expresses surprise at having seen ouri
nouncements in the journals that persons have Pa,.7,,
