Etiauette for Chinese women.


4 Young girl walking in the street must
not turn her head round, nor at home is
she to glance slyly at visitors. She is to
remember. moreover, that girls who are
always laughing and talking are not es-
teemed; and that virtuOus women have
been hOnOred from the earliest times. The
philosopher MendZe grieyed when he saw
his mother break her shuttle; the woman
Tsoun threw herself on to a sword in or
der to save her husbands life; the mother
of 40, being so poor that she could not
buy writing materials, taught her son to
read by tracing characters in the sand.
Women should be able to read, write
and use the counting machine, so as to be
in position to direct a household. They
should read books of piety and stories of
morality in action, while avoiding love
poetry, songs and anecdotes. Women
should be reserved, and they are cruelty
enjOined never to occupy themselves with
other peoples affairs. Men ought never
to talk of domestic matters, while women
should never talk Of anything else. When
4 visitor is in the drawing room the lady
Of the house should not be heard raising
her voice in the kitchen.
Women are not to paint their faces and
wear striking cOlOrs, for the insufficient
reason that if they do men will look at
them. Young women, as well as young
men, are to be dutiful to their parents
and always in good humOr, even when
their father and mother are not. They are
to then ask whether they are hot or
whether they are cold; to take them food
and drink and to furnish them with boots
and shoes, When a young girl is grown
up and married to an honest man, she
must not forget her parents. and
once or twice a year must ask per-
mission of her husband to 90 and see
them. ''FrOm the highest antiquity until
the present day the rule has been that the
husband commands and the wife Obeys."
Virtue for wife consists in having an
equal temper, and to arrive at this much
must be supported. 'lf the first wife has
not the happiness to give her husband n
male child. he chooses person he loves in
order To have by her a son who will con-
tinue his line. 1t is necessary, under
these circumstances" says the "Man-
ual, +" mot to give way to jealousy, but to
live together on friendly terms in the
same house."
AT present great discussions take place
between first and second wives. Out of
100 first wives YOU will scarcely find one
or two of a sweet and affable disposition.
Il have taken great palms," adds the au-
thor, ''in writing this paragraph. Do not
read it thOughtlessly." If, however, he
had been more thoughtful himself, it
might have occurred to him that the want
of sweetness and affability which he de-
plOres in supplanted ''first wives is the
result less of character than OF cir
cumstances, and that it would show it.

their turn were To be replaced.

An Alleged Honor that is an Actual

BHfdl0 Courier.
The telegraph announces that Mr.. Low
ell. our Minister to England, has been
chosen Lord Rector Of the University of
st. Andrews. If the honor is in payment
for the course of the Minister in neglect
ing the American citizens imprisoned in
Ireland, perverting. the principles of the
law of his country to their discontinue,
and setting aside the provisions of our
treaty with Great Britain for the conve-
nIence of that power, then Mr.. Lowell
has sold himself very cheap.
We are told that the authorities of st.
Andrews University are considering
whether Mr.. Lowell is eligible to the posi-
ton to which he has been elected. But
our government should not waste any
time in considering the subject; it should
send Mr.. Lowell word at once that il he
wants to be lord rector to a British uni
versity he must resign his office as Amer
lean Minister to England. He cannot
serve two masters, and we are not paying
him SI7, 500 year to be lord rector of any
foreign institution. The pretense that
the honor is a purely literary one is
More sham. Mr.. LOwelPs literary work
was done and his fame secured before he
entered the diplomatic service, butno Brit
ish college thought it worth while to make
him Lord Rector. 1t was only after he
had endeared himself to the British pub
lie lie bF acting for England against Ameri-
can citizens that this recognition came
n is tribute to the recreant Minister,
not TO the poet, who seemed incapable of

suppose that If Mr.. Lowell had shown
decent knowledge of his Official opllga-
tiOns and done his duty manfully IN Ehg,
land he could have been CHOSEN Lor0
Rector OF danes scAool within the four
seas of Britains
1t would be interesting to know whether
the Lord Rector of st. Andrews has 10
take any oaths or assume any obligations,
and if so what they are.
