LAND OF HAPPY HOMES.

From the New York Tribune.
Canada is a land of happy nome life.
1t is often objected that the Canadian
woman is too much absorbed in her
household duties, that she lays aside
her music and other accomplish
ments after marriage and does not con-
tinue to Improve her mind. = There is
truth in the criticism. Limited means
and many responsibilities sometimes
compel the sacrifice, but on the other
hand, some Canadian women are nota-
bly, good housekeepers and ind time
for mental culture. Canadian girls now
attend the university extension courses.
The Canadian girl is permitted more
freedom and Independence than her
English cousin, and, like her American
neighbor, she uses this freedom with
out abusing it.
The native Canadian is generally a
faithful servant. Such servants often
live many years with one family. 4

peg and the mistress set out at once to
give her old faithful serYan. that last
consolation.
The Canadian girl az home knows
how to enjoy herself In winter she
goes 70 skating, snowshoeing. slei-uing
and tobogyaning parties, and she de-
lights II dancing. music and private
theatrlcais. IN summer she rows. rides

I?' But the adventurous spirit OF
youth IS now subdued and transformed
to force which often enables the Sc
date matron to COPE with many diff.
culties.
In the early spring of the year of the
northwest rebellion, young married
woman. who had been brought up in a
luxurious home in Ontario. was alone
in her prairie cottage with two babies.
It was necessary for her to convey
some information to q household four
miles away, and there was not white
woman between her and that house.
She harnessed her horse and set out
with her babies There was a bridge
over small lake or pond. but an In
dian stood on Il. She thought the
horse would shy at him, so tried to
drive across the pond, supposing the
ice would bear the weight. About the
middle the horse broke through. He
extricated himself, overturned ths
sleigh, got loose and ran of Carrying
both children and wading through
snow waist high. the young woman
made her way TO her destination.
Far from being disheartened by her
adventures. she said: 'Of course l was
anxious about the horse and the chill
dren. but | had to sit down in the snow
and laugh when l wondered what nv
friends at home would think If thev
could see me with one baby hanging
round my neck anl the other tucked in
my skirts"
Despite the rigors OF winter and the
heat of the summer, the Canadian wo-
man has generally good constitution.
She suffers less from dyspepsia than
her American neighbor, for she takes
more outdoor exercise and less pie and
hot bread, but she is not so robust in
appearance as her British cousin. As
a rule, unless she is personally inter
ested in some statesman, she takes lit
tie interest in politics and is not as
well informed on political questions as
the English woman or the American.
But though not politician, she is a
patriot. She has strong family at
tachment to the mother country and to
existing relations and looks with dis
favor on any suggestion of severance.
