ADVANTAGES OF COUNTRY
LIFE.


vuui"oi VI hkbsutUSs
A writer thinks that it is q mistake
OF the residents OF large cities To sup
pose that they enjoy peculiar adyan-
tages over people living in the coun-
try, in the increased facilities for
travel, for mental culture, and for the
refining influences that are generally
supposed to accompany it, that are to
be found most largely developed in
the city.
"There are" says the same writer,
Opportunities in working on farm
to earn IA comfortable living and save
something every year, for many thous-
ands in the cities who now spend
every dollar they earn, and who are
sure to continue to do so, while they
expose themselves to the city's temp
tationS. 1t is mistake to suppose
that in the country, and even on the
farm, there is not better oppor.
tunity to really cultivate the mind
than there is for thousands who have
no time to read or think in the city.
The variety which nature offers is a
constant stimulus to thought. There
Is far less routine work on the farm
than there is in the mOn0t0nOus
clang of great machinery, which
almost operates itself with the small
est care on the part Of the operator.
The person who is really anxious for
mental Improvement can find it in
either situation, but its best 0ppor-
tunties will be found in the country"
In addition to the conditions favora-
bic to observation, reflection and prof
table reading, there is an atmosphere
OF freedom conducive to independ-
ence OF thought and action to which
the dwellers in towns and cities arc
strangers. A large per cent Of the
men and women who have risen to
cminence have spent their early days
on the farm. The farmer who is out
of debt can withstand financial
panic which would send large per
cent of other business men to the
wall. Life on the farm Is conducive
to physical, mental and moral growth,
and it is to the farms that the cOun-
try looks for rugged honesty, indc-
pcndcnce and answering patriotism
to so direct the affairs Of government
as to promote the general welfare and
secure the blessings of justice, peace
and liberty to every citizen Of this
great republic.

The classification Of the census of
1850 docs not include stenographcrs
and typewriters. The census states
that, among bookkccpcrs and account
ants, women counted 1865, and among
clerks and c0pyists, 1647-in all, 40l2.
Total number of women in these class
cs and OF stcnographers and typewrit-
ers in 1890 was ll3,o0j. The number OF
women in all the occupations in the
above table was, in 1880. 1876, l06: in
1890 1t was SIG, l40. Speaking broadly,
live women were engaged in these Oc.
cupations in 1890, as against two in
1880. In certain occupations the
change In the relative number OF the
men and women is very noteworthy.
In 1880 the women were less than a
fourth Of the artists and teachers Of
art, in 1890 they were nearly onc-llalf.
or musicians and teachers of music
in 1880 there were only about two wo-
men to three men, in 1890 there were
nearly four women To three men.
This enormous movement for indie.
pendencc and self-support must have
an enormous influence on the destiny
OF the female sex. Will it make wo.
men less inclined to marry? Many
women have entered matrimony from
sense of helplessness and depend
encc. But here is growing up among
them an increased ability to take care
OF themselves, and with it keeps pace
the increasing worthlessness of men
| Will women be willing to marry fol
the purpose of taking care Of an in
capable and useless husband? Tht
foundation of love Is respect. Car
any woman respect such d man
Nevertheless, nature is strong. There
will always be sentiment in the fe
male heart and Il love of children
But, without doubt, Il vast change il
going to be wrought in the social re
lations Of the sexes.

MEN AND WOMEN


Marriage, which is the foundation
of human society, since the family is
the beginning of the State, and the
family home is ones country in its
original essence, is the most import
ant of all human social arrangements.
1t is commonly considered from its
sentimental side, or from the point Of
view Of love and affection. Nevcrthe-
less it must occupy the attention OF
social philosophers and political econ
omists, and it is rapidly coming into
the purvew of the politician on ac-
count of the increasing Importance Of
women as a political factor
Forty years ago the woman Ques-
tion in the United States did not en-
ter INTO the domain 0f political econ
omy to any considerable extent. Wo-
men worked in the cotton mills OF
New England, but they constituted a
very limited class, and, II women
went out from home to seek employ
ncnt, it was generally as domestic
servants, or as teachers, or as seam
stresses.
There was no other field Of labor
open to the sex, and, as a matter OF
course, the greatest numbers of wo-
men were supported by their fathers,
husbands, or other male relatives.
AS a general fact, they were not re-
Quired to go out to work. and only
those did it who were compelled by
the lack OF support at home. In the
Southern States white women did
not go out as domestic servants, as all
such offices were performed by negro
slave women.
Now all is different. In the South
ern States there are many white wo
men to-day who are engaged in do
nestle service in families; but, as the
negro women are chiefly employed ir
that sort Of work, Southern females
who labor for their support are found
very largely working as clerks ant
salcswomen. and, in cities, in fac
tories where light articles are made
| 1t was formerly held that only un
married women ever were required tt
go out from home to work. Womel
with husbands were, as an almost uni
versal rule, supported by them, and
unless the man were rendered hclplcs
by disease or other injury, 1t was a dis
grace for him not to support hi
family. But Il great change Is comm
in this direction. There are man
men who have families, and yet ar
utterly worthless. Whisky, opium
natural distate for any useful Occupa
). ttion and habituation TO vicious indul
gcnccs, have In the past few decade
immensely increased the numbers Q
worthless men.
1t is not strange that the number
OF women driven by necessity to wor
for their own support and for that 9
children and of a worthless man al
rapidly and daily increasing. Th
movement Of women into the variou
occupations formerly monopollzed b
men will be seen from the revelation
. OF the census.
