In China wife is never seen by her
future master. Some relative bargains
for the girl the stipulated price is paid
and she is afterward a submissive
slave. The women of ancient Rome
were treated with the greatest respect.
Still they were not allowed to inherit
property and could be divorced by their
husbands for counterfeiting their keys
and for drinking wine. In Turkey a
woman is held in the most rigid seclu-
sion. She must always appear. yelled
With pigs and dogs, she is forbidden
to enter mosque, and the koran de-
clares a woman who is unmarried to be
in a state of reprobation. Siberian
women are raised as ahject slaves, I'M
tidy in dress, and are bought with
money or cattle. The most capricious
within of her husband is law to the ST.
berian woman, and should he desire a
divorce he has only to tear the cap

|oRlolN OF THE COTTON GIN.
How Woman Perfected Mr.. Whitney'i
Unyrutiou.

Invention.
The youngest daughter of Gen. Ma
thaniel Greene used to relate story OF
her life at Dungeness, where circum-
.tance occurred of some historic and
scientific interest, and in regard to
which much erroneous statement has
been made, says a writer in the Cen
tury. / refer to the invention of the
cotton gin by Eli Whitney, and my
mothers connection with it. The facts
briefly stated were about as follows:
While spending the previous summer
at Newport, R. l., my mother became
acquainted with Mr.. Whitney and grew
interested in the outcome of the ex-
perments he was then making in the
interest of his projected gin. To as
sist in his enterprise my mother in
vited him to spend the following win
ter at Dungeness, whe2e an abundance
of cotton and quiet could be assured.
Mr.. Whitney accordingly came to
Dungeness, and diligently pursued his
experiments, room in the fifth story
having been specially fitted up for his
use as an inventor One morning he
descended headlong into the drawing
room, where number of guests were
assembled, and excitedly exclaimed
The victory is n'ine." In deep SYM
pathy with him the guests and hostesl
went with him to his workshop. Whit
ney set his model in motion. For a
few moments the miniature saws re-
volved without hindrance, and the sep
aration of the seeds from the cotton
wool was successfully accomplished
but after little the saws clogged with
lint, the wheel stopped and pool
| Whitney was in despair. Here's what
you need! exclaimed my mother, In
her clear, decisive way, and she instant
ly seized a clothes brush lying on the
mantel and held it firmly to the teeth
of the saws. Again the drum revolved
and instantly the saws were cleaned d
the lint, and the last requirement Of
the great invention was satisfied
Madame, said Whitney, overcome with
emotion, and speaking with the exag'
geration of gratitude, you have per-
fected my invention
