Wives ShNnId Strike.

Mile. Louis Michel is now on the
war-path, and this time she has been
enlivening Paris on the subject OF
woman's rights. She begins first of all
by proving conclusively the superiority
of women to men. "The proof of a
woman's superiority Isl, she says, "that
woman always does what she makes
up her mind to-" This was founded
on the proverb: &c que femme veut
Dleu lie veut." There is nothing like a
good provefb ON any given subject, as
no one will take the trouble to prove
you are wrong, especially when it suits
your audiende to believe it, and so the
great "Citoyenne's" first proposition
was undisputed. The only way of assert
ing such superiority, she said, was q
strike. If all wives and daughters would
only strike against their husbands,
fathers, brothers, &C.. for week, the
whole thing would be settled. She had
a few other "petroleuses" she said, had
determined to free the women of
France. 1t is quite evident that Mile.
Michel has never read the fable of
Menenius Agrippa, and that her Roman
history and her sociology went publish
ing up. Cutting off your nose to spite
your face, as Agrippa told the discon-
tented Romans, is no remedy, and
though Mile. Michel may think other
wise, and 1isbelieve in fables, yet some
times they are of use even to social re-
formers.-PdH Mall Gazette.
