PARENrs.-The old relations of faith
er and son have utterly changed with,
in living memory. 1t is not that there
is less affection or less reverence in
the boys of family. but there is a
great deal less of the formal obedience
which used TO be expected from them.
A wise father sees nowadays that he
must leave his sons good deal to
themselves, that their thoughts are
not likely to be his thoughts, nor their
ways his ways He is content if he
sees that this growing independence
leaves the deeper ties of love and ten,
derness untouched. But no change Of
this sort can be detected as yet in the
relations between daughters and moth
ers, The old traditions of rigorous
dependence are carefully preserved.
No matter what the age Of the daugh-
ters may he, an English mother still
calls them 1.-THE girls" She trans
plants the discipline Of the nursery to
the croquet-ground and the ballroom.
She expects them to repeat the con-
versation they had with their partners.
She insists on reading the letters they
receive, and dictates the answers they
send. She assumes complete control
over their time, reading, religion and
friendships.

co-The Chinese quarter is a system
Of alleys and passages. labarynthian
in their sinnosities. into which the sun
light never enters; where it is dark
and dismal even at MONDAY. A stran-
ger attempting to cxpl re them would
be speedily and hopelessly lost. Many
Of them seem mere Sits in the TANKS
Of the strcets-dirty rivulcts flowing
into the great stream Of life. Often
they have no exit-terminating in a
foul court, dead wall, a gambling OF
opium den. They literally swarm with
life; for this human hive is never at
rest. Every dent and angle-every
nick and Granny in the wall.-every
foot of surface on the ground is ami.
mate. The ultimate problem of Mon.
golian existence seems to be, how To
get the greatest number of human be.
ings into the least possible space.
They herd together like cattle in their
workshops. eating-houses, and places
Of social resort. a clearinghouse rep
rescnts an almost solid mass Of hu.
man anatomy. The authorities, some
time since, found it necessary, for san.
itary reasons, to pass an ordinance
prescribing five hundred cubic feet Of
air (equal to space OF eight feet
squaro) to each person in Chinese ten
ements; but such contempt have these
creatures for oxygen. that they con.
stantly -evade or ignore it. You might
suppose these slums would be breed.
ing places Of pestilence, but such
does not seem to be the fact. No cpl
demc has violently ragged in the Chi.
nose quarter. When, some years ago,
tie smallpox was carrying off the eau.
casian, at the rate Of nearly one hun
dred elk, the Monaghan passed un
harmed. This remarkable exemption
is due partly t. the fact that all Chi.
namen are inoculated in childhood, and
that they pay more strict regard to
certain essential sanitary laws. The
bath is part Of their religion; so ia
