Throughout Asia. Africa and in large
portions even Of Europe and America
there prevails an old belief that they
are born to labor. In Turkestan and
on the Tartar steppes the Kirghese
sultanas and their daughters. and
princesses in whose veins flows the
blood of long lines of kings, still milk
the sheep. cows and goats and perform
the mental offices of the household, as
the Sans"rit maiden did 5000 years
ago in the same localities. They cook,
take care of the younger children,
make garments, cure the skins or the
wild fowl, with the feathers on, for
caps, spin cotton, weave cloth and tan
leather by means of sour milk. SINH

Tungusian girl gathers the snow.

maidens. and all who dwell along the
Arctic Ocean. help in summer to lay
up winter supplies, and in winter to
perform all necessary domestic duties.
The Abyssinian girl grinds corn in

DIR. Hammond, of New York. in his
much-talked-about novel. gives capt.
tai idea of the healthy and unhealthy
women of to-day. He pictures them
at the morning meal.
The first is Theodosia, of whom he
SAYS: perhaps there is no better test
of a woman's health and beauty than
her appearance when she presents her
self at an early breakfast. She is then
more as nature made her than at any
other period Of the day, when art has
been brought with a view of heighten-
ing her charms. If she has slept wen,

1t appears from the gathered statis-
tics sof the world that women have
greater tenacity of life than men.
Despite the intellectual and physical
strength or the latter, the softer sex
endures longest, and will bear pain to
which strong man succumbs. Zymo-
tic diseases are more fatal to males,
and more male children die than
female. Deverga asserts that the pro-
portion dying suddenly is about 100
women to $50 men; 1.080 men in the
United States committed suicide to
285 women. Intemperance, apoplexy,
govt. hydrocephalus, affections of the
heart or liver. scrofula, paralysis. are
far more fatal to males than females
Pulmonary consumption. on the other
hand. is more deadly to the latter.
Females in cities are more prone to
consumption than in the country. All
old countries. not disturbed by emigra-
tion, have a majority of females in the
population. In royal families stats
tics show more daughters than sons.
The Hebrew women are especially
long-lived; the colored man exception
ally shoft-lived. The married state is
favorable to prolongation of life among
women. DR.. Hough remarks that
there are from to 8 per cent. more
males born than females, yet there is
more than 6per cent. excess of females
in the living population. From which
statistics we conclude that all women
who can possibly obtain one of these
rapidly departing men ought to marry,
and that, as men are likely to become
so very scarce, they cannot be sufici-
emily priced by the other sex. Modern
