Women In italy.

In Italy, writes q correspondent, we
have seen women not only working in the
fields, but carrying bricks and stone and
mortar up ladders for the construction of
buildings On the railroad from Brindisi
to Naples, in southern Italy, where tun-
mel was being repaired we saw some 40
girls carrying on their heads bushel bas-
kets of mortar and stone from a valley on
one side of the track up steep stairway
above the tunnel on the other side The
baskets We're filed by men and lifted upon
the heads of the girls, who thus had by
far the heavier task of carrying the loads
up an ascent of 60 feet Their feet and
arms were bare, their faces brown, but
they looked cheerful, at least those did
who paused in their work to stare at the
passing train. Near Paestum gangs of
women were at field work, with i man to
oversee them, cracking long hunting
whip"
At Amalfi we saw old women carrying
on their backs loads Of wood up the long,
rocky stairways leading to the Cappuccini
Monastery Eotel The wood was 4 feet
long, and to all appearances there was
nearly n quarter Of a cord ON each wom-
ans back. In several places in southern
Italy we witnessed this almost brutal
scene of women bent and staggering be-
meath loads of wood which they were car
rying up the hills. The first feeling one
has on seeing women thus employed is Of
resentment against some one who has
