Women as Cook Enemies.

Sorry am l to admit it, but women must be
classed among the ''enemies of books;;" that
is, from bibliophile's standpoint. What a
mighty list could be made out by merely
enumerating the Strange Things Women
Have Been Known to Do with Books" e. g.,
cover up a cup of cough mixture with valu-
able binding, lay wet muff on handsome
book, read while eating candy, exchange a
fine old tooling for holiday volume with rich
design in stamped gold, send a tall copy to the
binders to have its edges trimmed even and
gilded, cut out an ex dono and paste it in her
autograph album, remove book plate open
up an uncut de luxe with the blade Of her
shears, amuse the baby with a volume of
fine engravings, etc.-The Booklover.

A gentleman who owns fine collie and
rough skye terrier had them both out and
started to go rowing. The collie Immediately
jumped in and began swimming after the
boat. In a few minutes the skye set up a
fearful bowling. The collie swan up to the
boat and looked back The man, wanting to
see what would happen, rowed slowly. The
collie turned back, and swimming to the
bank half out of the water, let the terrier get
on his back and then turned and followed the
boat and landed his companion safely on the
other side.

The OLD BEAU

How cracked and poor his laughter rings
How dulled his eyes once flashing warm;
But still portly pathos clings
About his bent and withered form.
Tonight where mirth and music dwells
His wrinkled cheeks, his locks of snow,
CLEAN near the grandsons of the bellies
He smiled on forty years ago.
We watch him here and half believe
Our gaze may witness, while he pirates.
Death, like footman, touch his sleeve
And tell him that the carriage waits.

AS the actors spoke somewhat low, the

exclaimed Piron. The indignant audience
threw themselves on the poet, who made his
escape with the greatest difficulty in the
world, exclaiming: "Alone 1 could whip

swords were drawn upon him. The next day
as he returned to Dion, he moved down
vigorously all the thistles which he found
along the road Some of the people OF
Beaune, meeting him slashing away in this

WOMEN OF TIE ORIENT.
Ignorant, Helpless and Ranking Almost
with the B 'ute Creation.
Ei,rl.tirLI,l plrilln

1t is rather curious reflection that in
those countries where woman's rights are
most completely nOn-existent there the
specially womanly duties Of women are
the most grossly neglected. Travellers in
Egypt, for instance, tell us that when the
bells call the hour of prayer every msn
stops whatever work he is engaged in and
prostrates himself to Allah. No woman
takes any notice of the sound. She is too
low in the scale Of humanity to make her
tribute to the Almighty worthy of accept
ance. She ranks in this respect almost
with the brute creation. She is not with
drawn from her domestic duties by the
claims of religion upon her time and
thoughts. And yet the same trav-
elers tell US that one of the hor-
rOrs of Egyptian life is the fearful neglect
from which the children suffer. The poor
little creatures are incrusted by dirt and
sores and are swarmiug with vermin.
Children are frequently seen lying in their
mothers arms, with six or eight flies in
each eye. Opthalmia and various kinds
of blindness are, of course, very prevalent,
although death releases an enormously
large proportion of the children from their
safferings Three out of every five chill
dren who are born die during infancy,
and of those who survive one in every
twenty is blind. This ia being thorough
" masculine with vengeance, and
points an instructive moral as to the con-
sequences upon the character Of women Of
the denial of liberty, education and
responsibility.
The harem life of Oriental ladies OF high
rank is dali and vaeuous to the last degree.
They play with their jewels, eat sweet
meats and emoke pipes, and thus their day
passess If their children are Ill they are
hopelessly bewildered and utterly unable
to take care of them. They cling with
touching reverence to any average English
or American woman who may happen to
visit them, and implore her aid in doing
the SIMPLEST kind of nursing and mother
ing for the ailing children. Nothing as
tonishes Orientals more than the position
of women in England. A Chinese man.
DARN has lately published his views on
this subject Women, he says are
even helped at meals before men; in his
own country the men eat first, and when
they have quite finished, if anything is
left, the women are allowed to have it.
Another Eastern, Seyd Ahmed Khan, was
amazed to find that the servant girl who
waited upon him at his lodgings in Lon
don could read and write, and he recorded
his deliberate opinion that the little scrub
in London lodging, Compelled TO work
as g maid-servsnt for her living" was in
reality superior in nearly all respects to
Iedian ladies of the highest rank. such, !"
be adds solemnly, 'is the effect Of educa-
ton"
