Literature and Nationalism.

In "Looking Backward" the government
Is of course the universal publisher, and it
publishes everything brought to it, but on
condition that the author pays the first
cost out of his credit. How the poor au-
thor while engaged in writing Paradise
Lost" or the "Principia" is to earn labor
credit we hardly see. The literature of
Utopia is of course divine. To read one Of
Berrian's novels or one of Oates poems is
worth year of ones life. Would that we
had specimen of either! We should then
be able to see how far he transcribed
Shakespeare or Scott. For love stories, we
are told, there will be material galore"
and of much higher quality than there
was in those days of coarse and stormy
passion. But the actual love affair that
takes place in Utopia reminds us not SO
much of Romeo and Juliet" or of the
Master of Ravenswood and his mistress as
of those denizens of the present world who
adjust their loves with another's and
with dust" OF the pulpit eloquence we
have specimen. One great improvement,
however, there is, the preaching is by tele-
phone and you can shut it of. Professor
Goldwin Smith in Forum.

Diversity of Employment.

A woman correspondent of the Chica-
go Inter-Ocean makes a spirited protest
against the advice that all girls and
women should engage in homework.
She says: Girls tastes differ quite as
much as boys, and to expect all girls 70
be cooks and seamstresses is as foolisk
as to want all boys to be carpenters and
machinists. A knowledge of the rudi-
ments of cooking and sewing is very de-
sirable, as many an old bachelor and
husband with sick wife and
no servant can testify, and should
b, acquired by all young people
without regard to sex or color; but it is
no more necessary for girl to do all her
own cooking and dressmaking than for
young man to make all his own
clothes and dig all the coal he burns.
Let us respect girl who says she would
rather teach music in the parlor than
work in the kitchen quite as much as
we respect young man who says he
would rather practice law in court
room than work in rolling-mill. Let
us allow our girls to choose their occu-
pations as freely as we allow our boys
to do So"

A Small Minority.

1t is the best women of America and
Europe who are working to obtain suf-
frage for women. VIII they not be
likely to use what they are striving SO
earnestly to win for themselves and
their sex? And why, asks Mrs Liver
more, should not bad women vote, since
bad men are always certain to be found
at the polls, while good men will often
excuse themselves from this duty from
lack Of time and interest? But if bad
women do vote, they will only constitute
very small minority of the sex. For
at one of the late annual conferences of
the National Prison Reform Association,
it was stated by the secretary that while
about $4,000 men are to-day in the peni-
tentiaries of the United States, there
are only about 5000 women. Good
women hold the balance of moral power
in our land.
