It is easy to contrast the hot stirifaef
labofs Of the husband in the city with
the cool summer vacation of the wife.
How few stop to remember that though
the husbands nominal vacation be
shorter, it is expected to be vacation in

craft absolutely aside; all that, is de-
manded of him ordinarily is shat he
should amuse himself. The womah's
vacation is nominally longer, but, if she
is housekeeper, a wife; a mother, she
keeps her work and her care with her.
If she keeps house in the country, it is
still housekeeping, with increased diff
Guilty of obtaining servants; even if she
boards, she still has her children with
her, and has upon her through the sum-

Of seeing that they are fed, clothed,
keptout of mischief in pleasant days,
kept in employment on rainy days, and
kept, from collision with other boarders
all the time. She and they are the
gamers by it, on the whole, but il she
were to sit down on Sdnday and write
for her husband precise diary of the

Spiritual wonanhood.

Feminine religion, as it is now un-
derstood, is not settled state of mind
so much as an accidental exhibition of
feeling. It is due to the presence OF
particular social conditions, and, when
these have ceased to be operative, it
frequently ceases to exist. And even
in the case of the strong minded women
and girls, it will be found that, how
ever great the temptation toward it,
emotional ecclesiasticism is on the de-
cline rather than the increase. If ex-
ception be taken to this view, let it be
remembered that there is going on in
England perpetual process of social
upheaval, and that there are annually
an immense number of daughters of
the middle class who acquire a social
veneer of that culture which is affected
by their social betters, and who Incl
dentally take up with RituaEsm. On
the other hand, sterner occupations and
severer modes of thought attract large
percentage of young ladies, to whom
stoles and ehasubles were once the
main business of existence. The wife
and mother of the upper classes, who,
ten years ago, might have been more
or less of a fashionable reigieuse, Is
now not improbably an avowed free
thinker. Liberal in politics and lati-
tudinarian in religion, she hates sacre-
dotalism and all that concern it with
an intensity worthy of Victor Hugo
himself. Thus we have two distinct
types of spiritual womanhood. The new
or the anti-ecclesiastical, may be direct
ly referred to the progress which the
higher female education has made.
That education is advancing every day.
What will the religion of the woman of
the future be like? How will the con-
gregations of the Ritualistic churches
of fashionable London be composed
twenty years hence? Or will these
churches after such an interval con-
tinue to exist tp-Lo1ldo11 World.

A Lingering Death.

Our readers will remember the men
ton in last Fridays issue of the death
of the 9-year-old daughter of Henry
Haldeman and lady, at their residence
on Acequia street. The cause of the
death was very unusual one, and the
incidents relative thereto were very
strange. When about IA months old
little Annie, for that was the child's
name, while in the kitchen got hold of
a can of condensed lye and drank a
portion of the contents. OF course, the
consequence was that the child suffered
intensely and came very near dying at
the time. After recovering from. the
first effects of the lye, it was discovered
that the child's throat was scald-
ed and that it was unable to swallow
any food of a solid nature. Despite
the efforts of skilled physicians and
the constant attention of her loving
parents, little Annie's throat never did
heal up. But the child lived and
grew plump and fat, though bereft of
that vivacity which characterizes chill
dren. The childs pain and suffering
seemed to detract the mind from the
frivolous and the gay, and turn the
thoughts more to solemn and real
things. AS years rolled on, however,
such nourishment as Annie was capa-
BILE of taking proved not sufficient to
meet natures demands and sustain her
growing body, and presently it was OBJ
served that her condition was rapidly
becoming more serious, and a physician
was summoned to take charge of her
case. But no good was ever accom-
plished, the injury received was incura-
BILE, and it was settled that the child
gradually approached the end of exist
ence. Finally, death came, though
Annie had attained the age of 9 years
during nearly eight of which she had
lived exclusively on soups, cruel and
hquid-ike food. At the time of hel
death the child was in appearance as g
skeleton, but retained her powers oi
mind and conversed nationally to the
end.-San Aaato,aio (Ter.) Express.

She sewed On His Buttons.

Old Blummer is tight-fsted. Several
days ago he said to his wife: Maria,
want you to look over that broadcloth
vest of mine and put new buttons on
it, cause I'm going to a card-party to-
night"
But. Ely" answered Mrs. Blummer,
l haven't any buttons to match that
vest, and"
Thunderl" :" broke in Blummer, the
idea of woman keeping house as long
as you have and pretending to be out
of buttons. By Georgel I b'lieve
you'll ask me for money to buy 'em with
next"
That evening Blummer hurried
through his supper and began array
ing himself for the card-party.
Presently he called for the broadcloth
vest, and Mrs. Blummer, with marvel
GUS promptitude, handed it to him.
He took it, hastily unfolded it, and
then, as his eye took in his complete
appearance, he stood as one transfxed.
1t was six-button vest, and there were
six buttons on it, and the dazed optic
of Mr.. Blummer observed that the first,
or top one, was tiny shirt button, and
the next was brass army-overcoat but
ton with o. s. cleaning upon it, and
that number three was an oxydized-sil-
yer affair, and that number four was a
horn button evidently from the back of
one of the Puritan fathers coats, and
then came a suspender button, and
then, as the dazzled eyes of old Blum
mer reached the bottom button-a po-
ker chip found in Blummer's pocket
with two holes punched through it-he
gave snort that made the chandelier
jingle. There is, after all, fine sense
of humor about Blummer, and he
laughed till he cried. And there won't
be any button-money grudged in that
household hereafter.-Cleuela71d Her

AN old Bridgeport (Ct.) woman, who

Cool Courtship.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times, writing from the Azores, gives
this description of the way in which
courting is conducted: Passing house
in the suburbs of Ponta Delgada one
day, I saw young man standing in the
middle of the road talking to young
lady who was leaning over the railing
of the balcony. When he saw us he
walked away. Looking back saw that
he had returned and was again chatting
with the lady. In answer to my in
quiring look an English lady of the
party said:
"Ohl that is Azorean courtship; /;
they always begin in that way. In
deed, they continue in the same way
for long while. The young gentle
man is not admitted to the house until
about to be engaged to the young lady,
and then he sees her only in the pres
ence of the other members of the fam
ily."
