OriCnLnl Mormon.

AZ time progresses, the condition Of
the women Of the Orient rapidly I'M
proves. Japan has taken the lead in
this respect, and to-day Japanese women
occupy "a position and exert an influence
that few OF them would have dared dream
OF a quarter of II century ago. China is
being taught the lesson, though more
slowly than Japan, and woman are enter
ing TO II limited extent into the world Of
business and politics. Merchants of Can.
ton, who would have secluded ,hcirwiycs
with the utmost care decade or two
ago, now permit them to be seen, and,
what is moro, they allow them to con.
verse with other men. They travel Will,
them ON the steamers that navigate the
Chinese rivers and the waters along the
coast, and it is said that Some of them
have gone SO far MS to allow their wives
TO sit with them at tho public tables.
Similar progress is observable among the
Siameso and other eastern nations. The
world still moves.

Fast Living.

We live very fast now. Events rush
upon us with increasing rapiditv. The
rapid growth OF the country, the in
crease OF business which outruns popula-
ton, the development Of material re-
sources, the building up OF great cities,
the increasing use Of the railway and
telegraph, the multiplication of mechan-
| ical arts and inventions, crowd our days
with activities, and anxeties, and ex-
elements our fathers knew nothing Of.
The use OF the telegraph alone Is revo-
lutionizing our life. Every day we
share the lie Of the whole world. Is
there great fire in London, battle in
Egypt, an inundation of the Rhine or
Seine, famine in Ireland, conviction
OF two murderers in Brussels, defeat
Of pretended Prophet in Soudan, an
epidemic in China, or arrest Of peace
negotiations between Chill and Peru--if
anything happens anywhere on the
globe, we are made spectators of it, as
il were, or participants In it, by the in
Simultaneous communication of intelli-
gence. Every morning we have the
history Of the globe for n whole day laid
on our plate at the breakfast table. We
are in the surges OF an ocean life, while
our fathers sat quietly by the brink Of
pool. To live to-day, with all the vast
interests Of the globe FACILITATING about
us and reporting themselves in our ears;
10 do business in the tremendous rush
Of one Of our great cities; to belong to
n family whose members are separated
by thousands Of miles and yet can com
municate in day--is vastly more in.
tense and wearing thing than it was n
century ago. People complain Of being
tired. They are weary without know
ing why. The wear and tear Of modern
life on the nerves, and sympathies, and
anxielics, on brain, and heart, and soul,
are iucalculabc; and thousands break

At length, when the filthy vagant
seconded lis petition by laying his grimy

THE CURTAILMENr OF TRADE.

The disposition in trade circles is clearly
to further curtail operations. This is not
confined, but general. Moreover, it was
to be expected, and is perfectly natural
result of the past years doings. We have
before remarked on the historical fact that
there has been a steadily increasing ex-
pansion during the past four years, in ex-
cess of what was warranted by the de-
mands of the country and the capital
invested in business. Contraction, there
fore, it was seen, must come, and the
sooner the better, for long postponement
would have brought on crisis. Curtail-
ment, therefore, began as early as last
July, and has been going on ever since.
AS 1t reaches the manu- featuring interests,
the discharge of workmen follows, and
consequent suffering among those who have
not been able to provide for the rainy day.
Thus $500 nail machines are now at rest
under an agreement to keep them so for
four weeks longer. This ia better than to
go on with production until a surplus
would bring disaster worse than temporary
and voluntary suspension of manufactur.
ing. Woolen mills are closing too, and
wages have been reduced in most iron
works. In rubber goods, says the Boston
Advertiser, one of the most reliable au-
thorities on matters of trade, in carpet
blast furnaces, cotton mills,
furniture factories, and, indeed, in hun
dreds of manufactures, the command is to
shut down as soon as present orders are
filled. But this same authority concludes
that while labor is to suffer this winter,
the curtailment process ia indicative of
heavy business the year to follow. This
has always been true of the past. Trade
is not demoralizsd, and contraction has
been so gradual and so well foreseen that
there will not be serious results beyond
fhooa utoted
