Italian Girls Treading Wine Presses

A resident in Italy vouches for the fol
lowing: In the vineyards IN Perugla the
girls mount ladders and clip the rich
punches, dropping them into the baskets.
With industrious workers one day is enough
to clear an average vineyard. When the
grapes are all gathered in they are carefully
picked from the stems for the pressing.
This last process is the same primitive, sim
pie operation that was performed by the
patriarch Noah The grapes are thrown
into an enormous vat, where the juice is
tramped out of them by the bare feet. At
this stage OF the vintage you may see hun
dreds of the young ladies of the city of
Perugia coming forth in groups in the
morning, beaming with pleasant mystery
and excitement. Your ordinary tourist,
whose only intellectual and instructive
pabulum is gathered from the guide books,
has not the rem0test conception of their
object. He may think they are out for an
early constitutional; but early cOnstitu
tionaIs are not the rage with Italian ladies'
Shall | tell you the secret of all that mys-
terry and excitement They are off to the
country to tread in the wine presses. 1t Is
novel holiday to them, besides being a
most salutary exercise. Even prim old
dowagers are known to ''wade in" and ban
ish the rheumatism by a haIf-day's exercise
in the wine press. Apart from the health
full exercise of tramping the mash acts as 4
battle to the limbs, while the uprising
fumes are considered eminently stomachic
After the treading performance these ladies
wash themselves in hot wine, taking a mod
crate decoction internally for the stomach
sake. The effect is pleasant and rejuven-
ating, and is especially noticeable in the
vim with which they participate in the
dance which is the usual sequel to treadlng
in the wine press.

Morbid Conditions of the Mind.

In certain morbid conditions Of mind,
and in the case of the few healthy minds
endowed with special imaginative force, the
products of this mental activity closely re-
sembie dreams in their yividness and APP
parent actually. When this is the case, IL
lusions of memory may arise at once, just
as III the case of dreams. This will happen
more easily when the Imagination has been
for some time occupied with the same group
of ideal scenes, persons, or events. 70
Dickens, as Is well known, his fictitious
characters were for the time realities, and
after he had finished his story their forms
and their ioings fingered with him, assum-
ing the aspect of personal recoIIectlous. 80,
too, the energetic activity Of imagination
which accompanies a deep and absorbing
sympathy with another's painful expert
ences, may easily result in So vivid 4 reall-
cation Of their details a. to leave an after
sense of personal suffering, All highly
sympathetic persons who have closely ac-
companied beloved friends through a great
sorrow have known something Of tins sub
sequent feeling. Ia the case of most peo-
pie, however, waking imagination seldom,
if ever, rises to this pitch of reality. Hence
the illusions of memory that arise from this
source commonly appear only alter the
lapse of some time, when in the natural
course of things, the mental images derived
tain degree OF taintuess. Habitual novel
readers often catch themselves mistaking
the echo of some passage in good story
for the trace left by an actual event Per
sons names, striking sayings and events
themselves, when first heard or witnessed,
may seem familiar TO Us, and to recall some
past like impression when they happen to
resemble the creations of some favorite
novelist. And so, too, any recital of
another's experience, whether oral or liter
airy, if it deeply interests Us and awakens
specially vivid imagination of the events
described, may easily become the starting
point of an illusory recollection. Children
are in the habit Of drinking in" with their
vigorous imaginatiOus what Is told them
and read to them, and hence they are
specially likely to fall into this kind of error.
Not only 50, when they grow up and their
early recolections lose their dehniteness, be-
coming a few fragments saved from a lost
past, it must pretty certainly happen that
if any ideas derived from these recitals are
preserved, they will simulate the form of
memories. The present writer often catches
himself falling for moment into the nlu-
sion Of believing that he actually visited
the exhibition of 1851, the reason being
that he recalls the descriptions given to
him of it by his friends, and the excitement
attending their journey to London on the
occasion.-CornhillM Magazine.

Men and w omen.

Spectator.
The opinion of men, roughly speaking, il
of great Importance to women, and the
opinion of women, roughly speaking, is Of
very little Importance to men; but there il
just as much difficulty in being just on one
side as on the other, only the difficulty is Of
a different kind, and shows itself in a differ
ent direction. Miss Martineau says in her
Autobiography" Speaking Of what she ap-
pears to have known at the time, at its very
best) that no relation il SO unsatisfactory as
that between brother and sister. To the
mind of the present writer, about many
instances of a happy sisterly intercourse oc-
cur as Of almost any other not the object
Of choice; but unquestIOnably what bro
theirs and sisters need is mutual Justice /;
and what men and women naturally give
each other is something different. And if
we may speak with the vagueness and exag-
geration which l. necessary in order TO deal
with such a subject in a small space, we
should say that the way in which the
change in the position Of woman has affect
ed the relation of the two sexes, is that
whereas formerly a man looked on a wo-
man as a possible wife, he now has to look
at her also as an ideal sister She was a be-
ing to be protected, cared for, controlled
She Is a person TO be met in the field Of
work and claim. Ia sach a meditation we
must expect some discords.

Women Lawyers in 1860 and 1880
pnlI AInn G.aznttn

Not every lady and gentleman who has
this season applauded Miss Terry's Portia,
is aware that, about the date when the
Merchant Of Venice may be supposed to
have exhibited MS gaberdine on the Rialto,
there actually existed great female lawyers
in the neighboring city of Bologna. Prof
Colderini, who held the chair of jurispru-
dence in that university in 1860, and Prof
Norvelk, who occupied, it in 1866, We're
not only celebrated for their legal lore and
skill, but, if we may trust their portraits,
exceedingly beautiful women, with noble
Greek profiles dressed in style which
might be copied with advantage If
women hereafter should obtain entrance
into the legal profession. il Is not at all i'm,
probable that we may see something more
of the keenness of feminine wits engaged in
disentangIing the knots of the law. Two
ladies' in Ireland, according TO the Times
Dublin correspondent, have just been con
Quoting their own most intricate case in a
manner which excited the surprise Of the
master of the rolls who even observed that
he was ''astonished that the ladies had been
able to put their case on paper 50 intelli-
gently and clearly without legal advice"
If other ladies should follow the example
of the Misses Fogarty, what a falling of
must ensue in the solicitors bills They
lost their case, II is true, but seemingly
could not have won it under any guidance,
and at all events, they have escaped that
great aggravation of the misery Of defeat IN
a court of law-lawver's costs.
