FEMALE EDUCATIoN.-In tile days OF
Queen Anne the education of woman, as
we understand the term, was very much
neglected. Pho daughter of country
gentleman was taught the duties of a
cook sometimes, also, il the parents
were ambitious that she should shine in
after life asan accomplished hostess, she
received lessons from carving master.
The cardinal duty OF hospitality, as she
heard it inculcated, at home, was for the
lady to press the guests torepletion; while
1t was the province of the master of The
houseto maize diem drink to excess. This
was, perhaps a ftting education for a
young woman who was to become the
helmate of rude landlord, who regarded
q wife as an upper servant aad who
thought the company OF a woman an irk
some restraint upon the freedom OF social
intercourse. To n woman of any educa-
ton and refinement, an English manor
house, during at least the earlier days of
the Hanoverian succession, must have
been an intolerable home.

observe that we will not use it again
But the blood had hardly dried on the
rag before we are in search Of the same
hammer again, and ready to make
another trial. The result rarely varies,
but we never profit by it. The awful
weapon goes on knocking off our nails,
and mashing whole joints, and slipping
of the handle to the confusion Of mantel
ornaments, and breaking the command
ments. Yet we pu. up with it, and put
the handle on again, and lay it away
whore it won't get lost, and do up our
smarting and niutilated fingers; and, after

GOING ABROAD TO LEARN.


I'M California Nevada and other re-
gions of the Pacific slope where the male
Chinese have settled in unusual numbers,
the female Mongolian is SO rare an ami
NAL as to be in active demand, not from
he; special ioveliness, but from the mere
fact Of her rarity. The proportion OF fe-
male Celestials is rot more than to 100,
and as the latter find no favor with wo-
men Of other races, they are necessarily
dependent for feminine society and sym
pathy upon women Of their own blood.
1t is easy to see, therefore, why the Chi
nese female (she is rather female than a
woman, in the Anglo Saxon sense, par
.ticularly to the male Mongolian) should
be regarded us a desirable object, and
should have attained commercial value.
In the Flowery Kingdom, women are in
such abundance that they are voritable
drug. They can be had not only for the
asking; nobody will ask for them, espec-
tally in cities, where there is always a
glGt. In. the small towns and in the tea
raising districts, they are occasionally m
quired for, though they bring very
small rate, seldom selling higher than n
Mexican dollar apiece. That they should
be marketable articles shocks our notions;
but we have other opinions and customs
than the Chinese, besides totally differ
ent civilization, and not nearly so many
women. The Chinese female Of the or
dinary sort being but chattel at home,
she remains such in America, with this
diflerence-that here she is in wholly in
adequate supply, and consequently com
mands a high figure. A Chinese female,
rating fran fair to middling, is worth
about $500, though common article can
be had for from $3.50 to $500. Some extra
specimens occasionally bring $3.50 to $780,
Such prices as these seem fabulous to the
average Mongolisn, who likes women
very well, but feels that he cannot afford
