Why Women Write.

A witty Frenchman has observed that
"when a woman writes a book there is
a book the more and a woman the less
in the sum total of the world" y =
George Sand proudly boasts that the
fear of losing any of her womanly
charms by the addition of a gray hair
to her raven locks, or the blowing of a
single wrinkle on her brow, never de.
tered herfrom hours of midnight study
or days of unintermittent intellectual
production. The opinion of the world
on the subject of the entrance of the
weaker sex into literary pursuits has
c%uriously fuctuated from time to time.
We know the position cultured women
occupied and tho influence they pos
sessed during the age of the greatest
splendor in Greece, and the object of
detestation they subsequently became
when the asceticism Of early Christianity
swept over the world. In the fifteenth
century we have many instances of
learned ladies, Vittoria Colonna is an
illustrious example of erudition and vir-
tue; Alessandra Scala and Cassandra
Fedele carried on a correspondence in
Latin with Politian; Dometta Triv-
plzia delivered long orations be.
fore thronged assemblies; while
Isotta, of Verona, lectured at the
University of Bologna on tho degree
of culpability Of Adam and Eve, and we
read that when she stood forward to de-
fend the cause of her sex the verdict of
the assembly was invariably given in
favor OF Eve. We wonder, were Isotta
to appear at Oxford nowadays, whether
the undergraduates would be equally
courteous. This respect for feminine
culture passed away with the splendor
of the fifteenth century. The corrupt
age of Louis XIV. undermined all
chivalrous feeling men entertained for
women, and they relapsed into an in
ferior position from which they have
not yet emerged. The views of English
men have, however, become modified
since DR.. Day, a hundred years ago, ex-
pressed his horror of female authorship,
and was shocked at Maria Edgeworth's
having been permitted even to translate
Nine. de Genlis's "Adele ct Theodore"
addressing a congratulatory letter to her
father when the publication was pre-
vented, or since Southey wrote to Char
lotte Bronte Literature cannot be the
business of a woman's life, and it ought
not to be-" II trust I shall never more
feel ambitious to see my name in print !;
if the wish should rise I'll look at
Southey's letter and suppress it," she
answers naively. Modified, also, are
our views since Mary Lamb declared
writing to be a most painful occupa-
ton" and advised women to ..beguile
their time with knitting, knotting, net.
ting, carpet work and the like ingenious
pursuits. "-Ndtional Review.

The Discovery Of Salt Glaze.

In 1880 a very simple accident re-
veaied to the English potters a secret
which they ought to have learned long
before from the Dutch wares imported
into that country. A maid servant at
the farm of Mr.. Yates, near Burslem.
was preparing in an earthen vessel a
salt I've for curing pork. During her
temporary absence the liquid boiled
over, the sides of the pot became quickly
red not, and when they again grew cold
were found to be covered with an OK
cellent vitreous glaze. The circum.
stance attracted the attention of MIR.
Yates who related it to q n%eighboring
potter who at once made use Of the dis
covery and impaired it to others. The
"salt glaze soon superseded the lead
~ glaze hitherto in use, and was en-
ployed in the manufacture of ..cro,1ch
ware in which Ill ordinary articles Of
domestic used produced in Burslem
were made.-Scientifc american.
