Frenchwomen's Rights.

The question Of mutual financial
rights of husband and wife in the in
dustrial classes is coming to the front
in France According to a leader in the
Paris Debats, the better sentiment Of
the country is already solicitous in the
matter. In a country where it is rather
the rule than the exception for the wife
to work in the same business with her
husband, not only the laboring classes.
but the middle Glasses, the strong sus-
tanning bourgeoisie Of France have q
vital interest.
Any legal arrangement for the pro-
lection of the wife from injustice on the
part of the husband has up to the pres
emit time been extremely insufficient.
The French husband still has the right
to take all the wages or other product of
his wife's work, to sell, if he pleases,
anything she has bought and placed in
her house, or to give it away, at his own
discretion. The French law has offered
no remedy except separation of goods,
and that is usually equal to an open dec
laration of war-to personal separation.
For working wives of the Industrious
class this is an absolutely illusory pro-
lection.
It is now proposed to make a simple
and thorough reform, by whose action
the working wife will be given full right
to salary or other goods earned by her
self beyond certain proportion for her
personal share in the household support.

New England's Lonely Cabins.

One house, bigger, barer and uglier
than the others, was the voluntary pris-
on of an old woman, who for five years
had not allowed human being to cross
the threshold. Nobody thought her con-
duct odd or remarkable. l saw her once
at the gate, and she poured out a food
of meaningless babble in delight at the
possession of a listener. Her words were
inarticulate, just as sour beer runs,
choking itself, escaping from an uncork
ed cask. {.
"I've seen you passin before. There's
nobody ever passes but Len Moles goin
