WOMEN AS LABoRERs.
The women in these portions of Germany
seem to do greater proportion of the manual
labor than any we have heretofore seen. In
the Swiss Rhine valley we saw women pulling
large four-wheeled carts, well loaded, but in
Wurtembnrg we have seen them breaking Stone
for the road. More than this, in Bavaria we
have seen woman Juggling manfuiy at q

his pipe But where are the men? In the
army? Yes, the best Of the young men are in
the army just at the time when they are ready

In the army they are apt to contract habits OF
