In lengthy article in the OOm.0n Na-

isian life Is contained. The article is enti-
tied Protection Of Infancy" The extract
TO which We allude is as follows:
1t is q common practice in Paris. not
only among the working classes. but among
the upper ten thousand, 10 send infants oui
10 nurse. The small space which in q Paris
lodging can be devoted TO chlldren's accom-
notation is perhaps one cause Of this per-
nicious custom. The tradesman's wife
sends her infant 10 the country because she
shares her husbands occupations, and the
femme de monde has neither time 20 spare
from her visits By day and her balls br
night 10 give TO her infant. nor can she
convert rooms in her residence required Tor
purposes for reception into nurseries. Ex-
tremes meet, aud in both cases French.

their children Out 10 nurse. IN the case Of

worse than slavery itself is that they must
