A sad effect of the increased ornaments
of continental Europe is to be found in
the scarcity Of farm hands to prepare and
handle the crops The consequence Is
that the field work is mostly done now by
women lads and old men The cultiva
ton of flowers vines and small fruit is
healthy occupation for a woman but the
blowing and reaping are too onerous and
the German woman of the lower classes
shows by increased physical defects the
heavy drain made on her constitution by
this severe labor Women in Germany
are also employed in other outside work
Mecklenburg-ot all the German states
the one least suspected OF such a move
meut-has recently begun to employ
women as road tenders on the Friedrich
Franz railway Since April number OF
women have been enrolled in the service
at 100 marks per annum Many of these
are the wives Of the men now in service
who are to relieve their husbands The
uniform of this female corps consists of q

is of a miserable quantity amounting 10

To those who sail up and down the Bay Of

The women in towns and villages above
the coulic class rarely show their faces and
the better classes never. Some travellers
speak of their peeping at one from their
wells or from behind their latticed win
dows. From what | have seen and can
learn from people who have long lived
here such coquetries are only INDUCED in
by Nnutch girls dancing girls Of a low
order, or by still worse class. The edu-
cation of a woman is such that she hon
estly thinks herself degraded should she
permit her fdce to be seen by man;
rarely is it done, even TO a father-in-law
or brother-in-aw. especially if the brother
iu-laW be elder than her husband.

Of his si>tcrs-in-law, and when he had

stances religiously permissible, This
thing is not simply a social custom, but it
IS mixed up with their religious require
ments. Religion has a very powerful
hold even on the men, who are generally
more or less educated, for now common
schools are throughout the country. But
the women are wholly uueducated eX-
cept in religious rites and duties. With
them their religion is ali despotic and
