THE LOVELY WOMEN OF MAHARATTA, WHO ARE
PERFECT DAUGHTERS WIVES, AND MOTHERS
= Sir George Birdwood, in an article in the
Asidtic Quarterly Reuie,o, draws the following
picture of the Maharatta women:
The Chit-pavan women are of the most re-
fined type of feminine loneliness and in the
sweetness, grace, and dignity of their high
bred beauty-at once modern in its exquisite
delicacy and antique in its fearless freedom -
they might well be taken for the Greek origi-
nails of the Tanagra 'fgurines." awakened to a
later life among the tropical gardens and
orchards and cOcOanut groves Of the Southern
Konkan.
One never wearies Of watching them, as seen
in the dewy morning in their gardens, peram-
bulating, in archaic worship, the altar of Holy
Basil (tulsi, Ocymum sanctum) placed before
every Hindoo house; or of an afternoon as they
pass, in fetching water, to and from the near
riverside. or the lotus-laden tank of the village
temple, all in flowing robes of cotton, or I'M
bleached white, or dyed a single color, pink,
scarlet black, green, or primrose yellow, pre-
senting as they move along the red laterile
roads in the deepening shadows of the trees,
and illumined across the blue sea by the side
long rays of the declining sun, the richest chro-
matte effects, with all the bright glamour of a
glowing Turner or a Claude.
And the outward and visible charms of these
fair Chit-pavans do but faithfully mirror the
innate virtues of their pure and gentle natures
for they are perfect daughters, wives and mo-
TIERS after the severely disciplined self-sacri-
ficing Hindoo ideal-the idea also of Solomon,
Sophocles and st. Paul-remaining modestly
at home, as the proper sphere of their duties,
unknown beyond their families, and seeking
in the happiness of their children their great
est pleasure, and in the reverence of their hus-
bands the amaranthine crown of o woman's
truest glory.

TioS IN Posr-oPfIcE METHODS.
The third assistant postmaster general in
his annual report, states that the deficiency in
the postal revenues is $3.50, SIS. This def
cheney Is owing mainly, il is said. to the great
extension Of the free delivery service under a
mobilization Of the old Law and the increase of
the railway mail transportation. The special
delivery system has grown considerably since
the report OF the previous year; so has the reg
tstry business Statistics are gwen showing
that IN the cheapness of postage, the number
OF post-ofhces, extent Of mail routes. miles of
mail service performed. postal revenue and
postal expenditure, and number Of letters and
other pieces Of mail matter transmitted in the
mails, the United States is now conspicuously
ahead OF every other nation in the world The
statistics Of letters &C.. transmitted during the
year, which are the first accurate statistics of
the character ever published by the depart
ment, are as follows: Letters mailed. /, 7es 500.

The following recommendation are made:
That in some of the larger cities the pneumatic

Of transporting the mails be adopted: that the
present contract for letter-sheet envelopes be

envelopes and other stamped paper issued by

Of engraving and printing: that, as a substitute
for the franking privilege, members of Con
gress have an annual allowance ia money for
the purchase Of postage stamps with which 10

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
What English Girls Must do IL They
Want to Compete with Her.

Henry Labouchere in the New York World
in referring to the complaint by English news
papers that American girls cutting out
English girls in the matrimonial market saws:
L should say that the main reason is that the
American girl is not so missy" as her English
sister, and that she is brought up to run down
her own game. In England the notion still
prevails that girl is sure to get into mischief
If she has not a mother or something of that
sort at her elbows. She herself resents this
and takes it out in fast conversation and
slangy ways, so that she becomes a singular
mixture of the doll and the tomboy Her
small talk is Of the very smallest small talk
Her mother is always by her with palpable
suggestions OF marriage, which brighten
of all suitors. The girl dresses bad
ly, generally with meretricious gaud.
She does not give her natural advantages
fair chance. At one moment she appears In
| hideous garments of the esthetic pattern at
another time she displays herself in a Hannish
costume with a tennis racket in her hand, while
at another hour of the day she is to be seen in
white and limp muslin innocence. There is
| always an air of effort in her get-up. and of
| effort which is a failure. Now the American
| girl has a natural taste for clothes. They seem
| to belong TO her, and whatever she may wear
| is put on to best advantage. She knows how
to talk agreeably, and, being always quite at
ease, puts all those with whom she is thrown
| at ease. The day of the bread-and-butter tom
boy is over. The English girls must realize
| this il they want to get married.
There is still further reason WHY the
American girl is preferred. In America man
who has sons and daughters makes no financial
difference between the two. In England, even
when man Is not 50 silly as to pile everything
upon his eldest son, he gives to his sons more
than to his daughters. The result is that there
are more American girls with money than En-
/ glish girls; and outside novels, il is fact that
the girl who can pay her own way takes the
lead IN the marriage market. If had four
daughters and four sons should il were
rich, divide my money equally between them
on my death, and If 1 were moderately well
OIL should leave more money to the girls than
TO the boys; for a boy, if he be not a fool. can
make money produce money, whereas q girl
| rarely can.
To meet the American invasion, therefore. I
would suggest that our girls take the American
girls as models, and that parents should not in
future give any financial preference to their
brothers over them.
