WOMEN IN HEATHEN CouNrRIEs.

There is striking similarity in the domestic
and social customs and habits Of all uncivilzed
tons This is especially the case in the condition
of women wherever people is little advanced in
civilization the lot of the female is hard. In Afri-
ca they are regarded servants-instrument of
pleasure and profit. Not only are they subjected to
domestic drudsery-but at regular season. compel
led to the severe tasks Of the field exposed to the
full blaze Of the while their ungallant lords are
enjoying tine threefold luxury of the shade, ham,
mock and pipe. Their tasks, however, are not
always unpleasant to themselves, nor without in.
terest to those who witness them. 'f3
When the fountain, as is often the case, is stua-
ted at distance from the hamlet, the business of
conveying water is made an occasion Of gossip and
recreation. The usual time of watering is in the
cool of the morning or afternoon. They usually
go in companies-threading the narrow tortuous
paths in Indian fileenlivening the solitarness of
the way by sprghtly conversation or inspiring song
Occasionally they form their party about noon and
start for the brook. They first fill their vessels and
deposit them near by. Afterward, they descend a
small distance below the place where the water is
taken, and bury their bodies in the refreshing
stream. They carry the water in vessels on their
head, poised with an accuracy that leaves their
arms and hands at perfect liberty-while green
branch immersed in the water prevents it from
splashing.

that they wished 70 begin the var or new grounds.
