woman.s scant Opportunities.

When we consider that out of the ], ST. q42
pupils In the schools of British India in 1S777-S
less than 10000 were girls, we have a fact
which makes il seem as II this planet, taken
as q whole, was still intellectually unin-
habitable for women Then we must take
farther into view that in the presidency of
Bombay the prize books distributed to de-
serving girls in the government aided schools
have such passages as the following: IF the
husband of a virtuous woman be ugly, Of
good or bad disposition, diseased, fiendish,
aascible, drunkard, old, stupid, dumb, blind,
deaf, hot tempered, poor, extremely covet-
GUS, a slanderer, cowardly, peridious aud
immoral, nevertheless she ought 10 worship
him as god with mind, speech and person
The wife who gives an angry answer to her
husband will become a village pariah dog;
she VIII also become female jackal, and live
in an uninhabited desert. The woman who
speaks disrespectfully TO her husband will be
dumb Ii the next incarnation. The woman
who hates her husbands relations viii be-
come from birth to birth muskrat living in
ordure and filth"
We must remember that the marriages for
which this code is providel are mostly child
marriages, made without the consent Of the
bride; we must remember that these prize
books are distributed virtually st the expense
of the British government-and how vast is
the abyss Of ignorance and degradation in
which these thinrs show women as plunged

THO Difference

Since the sun rose in Eden on that first,
perfect being, our much maligned grand
mother Eve, woman has been mystery to
man Every adjective, with variations, has
been employed to extol and condemn her
History bears out the Inconsistency Of her
nature and literature is built on her moods
Governments have been made and remade by
her glances, and kings and princes have sac
rifced thrones and honors for her caprices
There is no mystery about a man; no chang
ing, varying lights and shades. He is not q
spectrum Of vivid rainbow hues nor e kaleido-
scope of bewildering combinations. He is a
plain, simple sort Of an animal, one man diff
fer1ng from another, yet each taking color
from but one predominant trait
In the animal kingdom man is a specialist
He Is recognized as an obstinate, or cunning,
or ambitious, as an indolent, or energetic, or
q penurious, or generous man 4 woman is
all these and more. A man Is an instrument
Of one string. Learn to play upon that and
yea own that particular music box. A wom-
an is harp OF thousand strings, and while
the master hand may draw forth harmony
that beats the music Of the spheres, the anna
teur can develop q discordant crash of sound
that swallows peace and hope, desire Of life,
and faith in love at one tremendous gulp. 4
shrewd, tactful, industrious woman, after one
weeks opportunity for practice, can find the
particular chord which moves the particular
man. But men spend whole lives and go
down to unsatisfactory graves never having
learned TO play correctly solitary bar on
that rare instrument woman.-W ashington

Divine Element of Human Life.

The subject Of the supreme and Enpas-
stoned love Of man and woman Is one which
must be touched with reverence. yield to
no one in appreciation Of this, which, IN its
proper fClfIlment. appears TO me to be the
one divine element Of human life Ii Is TO me
the creative power Of God, passing by direct
inheritance to bis children and eventcating
in new generations OF souls, thrown of from
the parent stock in like manner as new sys-
TENS and series OF worlds are made TO people
space by the operation Of the divine hand
Yet, as God himself works through esteb-
nshed law, so believe love the divinest loses
its divinity when it is divorced from that
sense Of duty and obligation which God has
made equally with love the foundation Of the
human homa-
It is the home in its fullness and perfection
which meets the needs Of the human soul, not
the isolated and, In the end, debasing joys of
a passion which centers IN itself. A great deal
is said Of late about the evils Of marrying for
a home, but 50 little faith have I in love
that is not linked with duty, 50 abiding sense
Of security In Gods holy law and ordinances

Noiseiess Slippers.

These are intended for the use Of those who
are nursing or watching the sick, but they
will be found to give great comfort to any
one who has tired or lame feet.
Rip TIE soles from q pair Of cid slippers,
knock the heels off, and cover the soles on
both sides with thick wooden cloth. Excel
lent material for this, as well as for the up
pers, may be found in the skirts of old coats.
With the old slippers for guide, cut a paper
pattern Of the uppers; or, better still, have a
pattern of the right size cut for you by shoe
maker. The pattern viii be in two pieces,
the vanp and the quarter.
Cut two cloth pieces by the vamp pattern
and four by the quarter pattern, taking care
to have two Of the latter right side out and
two wrong side out. From dark silesia
cut Innings TO all these pieces Close and
press the seams Of the cloth pieces, then those
of the Innings; then basic the two smoothly
together-seams inside-and bind the upper
edge with galloon. Now slip the heel stiffen-
ing saved from the old slippers up between
the lining and the outside and catch it there
with two or three basting stitches. Then
sew upper and sole together, holding both
wrong side out, and your slipper is finished.
Turn it and put it on, and if your feet are
lame or tired you will not be in hurry to
take it of.-Good Housekeeping.

Women in India.

In India lady doctors are now common,
and although at first they may have been
somewhat ridiculed by those who could not
appreciate their value, they are fast making
their presence felt for good in almost every
corner Of the land. So far as the native
women Of India are concerned, it Is crafty
ing to note that their success in all branches
of college education is progressing TO the en-
tire satisfaction Of their professors. Not only
have they proved themselves to be generally
well fitted for the arduous duties attendant
on medical studies, but they have in some
cases succeeded beyond all ordinary e1pecta-
ton. Bombay, Madras, the northwest prov
inces and the Puntaub all return fattering
reports on the subject; and when we learn
that class Of female students can average
over 700 marks out Of 1000 in o surgical ex-
animation, as we hear has recently been the
case, little can be said against their power OF
skill or aptitude for gaining knowledge in
one Of the most important branches Of the
medical profession.-Once Week

Women should stand with chin drawn in,

Diamond Cutting.
THE vAksorsINTRTcArE PROCESSES I'll
ROUGH STONE PASSES TIIEOUGH.

The majority of people who take
any interest in diamonds imagine that
the cutting Of the stone is the most
difficult part, hut that is a mistake.
When it, comes to the polishing the
most skil.ful work has to he done.
The first process the rough ston'
passes through, is tile ''clcaving"-
whichis what most people call cut
ting. A chisel is used 1" cleave OIL
the rough parts. and the cleavage is
made into Diamond dust. Then comes
the tedious part. Two diamonds are
employed, each cementcd into the II
of u stick. The stones arc then rub
bed together with strong pressure.
This requires considerable expert
cnce. A. it can only be done by hand,
it also requires considerable muscle.
After this process. tho skill of the ex-
pert is tried. The gem is placed in IL
! solder setting and is then fastened to
4 piece Of wood about tw" feet long.
A steel wheel eighteen inches IN dia-
meter. making TWENTY-FIVE hundred
revolutions a minute, is used rs the
pOlisl.er. The stone in the wood is so
arranged as to be balanced on and
against the wheel, producing only q
slight friction. Diamond dust is used
on the wheel. An expert can tell in a
minute as soon as the polishing Of a
facet is completed. Sometimes there
are knots in the gems. and their hard-
ness can not bc imagined. The forms
usually adopted in cutting the dia:
moud arc the brilliant, the rose and
the table. Tho first shows the gem "a
the best advantage. It is composed
of principal face, called the table
