WOMEN IN CHINA.

Wong Chin Foo writes as follows
in the Brooklyn Eagle: From f.
nancial standpoint, raising daughters
in China is far more profitable than
raising sons. There is almost sure
return for every dollar invested and
heavy interest in the form
er, while the latter are often accom-
panied with loss. Wives are not
bought in China. The young hus-
band simply makes sort of genteel
in presents to the good
for the trouble incur
red in bringing up her daughter.
These innumerable courtesies and fire.
quent redemptions often cost the un-
fortunate husband 100 per cent more
than the wife would bring if put up
at auction. Even then there are many
who would pay double the amount
expended to return their wives with
out comment on the bargain. Most
American writer's labor under the er-
roneous impression as to Chinese So
cial life, suggested in the trite re-
mark "the Chinese are partial to male
infants and that the females are not
much thought off, These I quote
from Gutzcaff. There is, perhaps,
no nation except Turkey, in which
the females are less seen and less
known than China. Their absolute
seclusion from public gaze, both in
the street and at home, makes them
strangers to their own race. This is
so true that I can safely say that
married men in China do not know
the opposite sex, except through
their own wives. Womanhood is so
sacred that it is shut in and begirt by
prejudices and customs more COM
pletely than by Chinese wall. A
wife, daughter and mother in the
Middle Kingdom are like the Lares
and Penates of the early Roman
household.
Women associate with women and
men with men upon all occasions and
under all circumstances. This is
stringently carried out in all we'll reg
ulated Chinese families. Even BROTH
ers and sisters are not allowed to eat
at the same table, but have their sep
arate servants and meals. In China
private dwellings are built in such a
manner as to prevent visitors of the
opposite sex from meeting or ever
seeing the women of family. Un-
der these circumstances it might
seem difficult to describe the condi-
tion of the Chinese women and their
treatment. But this condition and
treatment are formulated by the COM
mon law of China. They have been
taught, generation after generation,
at school and freside, and have be-
come the public and private law of
the land. Exceptions are treated as
misdemeanors and are punished ac-
cordingly. The girl of Pc Chi Ii is
brought up on the same basis as her
sisters in Shanghai. Of course. the
training is widely, if not diametrical-
ly different from that followed in
christian countries. Yet the enforced
seclusion is no greater than that
which prevails in France, Spain and
Italy, and the fashionable compress
sion of girls feet is not to be men
toned in the same breath with the
voluntary compression of the waist
and vitals so noticeable in America.

A solution Suggested.

New Orleans Times es-Democrat1
Many young women, restless and dissatis.
fed in their fathers houses, chatting under
the restrictions of narrow means which
barely suffice to keep them in the idleness
supposed to be demanded by their social
position, yet unable to obtain employment
consonant with that position and their as
sumed mental ability, might find in the
course suggested a solution of their woes
Let them illustrate the much vaunted value
of cooperation by putting their labor, their
only capital. into the family partnership
They eau find outside no productive invest
ment for it; let them make it conservative.
The services they would perform have q
recognized pecuniary value which they
would be justified in demanding, and though
the immediate gain in money may not seem
large they will find by comparison with the
average wages received by young women
who have their board to pay that they clear
quite as much. But the immediate gain i
not the greatest advantage Of this plan. The
economic reforms they would naturally in.
troduce would still further expand the
family income, and possibly lay the founda
tion for q permanent improvement Of for

Then lower sinks, as quick the wind is gone,
Then fickring fades and with puff goes

And nigh consumed it through a feeble
