If the Story OF Ignorance and Desra-
dalton Is True.
The womanhood of a nation is a refec ion
of the general character Of that nation, says
Godey's Magazine. Spain is no exception to
this rule. So much has been written in the
past OF the lovely women of Spain. SO much
OF romance and poetry and art has been
brought to bear upon the subject, that few
people are aware of the truth-cold naked
and grewsome-that is yet to be revealed
concerning these sisters of ours, who dwell
in a land made charming by the glamour
of medieval pageantry, but really q land OF
darkness and degradation when compared
with countries CT the more civilized, more
truly, Christian world, Spanish character is
rapidly disclosing itself to the public, and
this Will naturally bring the women of Spa n
nearer to our view. 1t is impossible that the
women OF nation can be very different from
upon the condition of women as serious
subject; and it is possible that the
women of Spain may soon come within the
scope of our interest, as among the classes
OF earths people who need enlightenment
quite as much as do the women of Turkey
or China. Let us look at some facts recently

In the cities Of the country are over 80, coo
registered professional beggars of the adult
female class. These women are beggars by
training and choice; beggary is their trade,
and they wish no other. In the rural dis
tricts are nearly 100000 women who work as
farm laborers tilling the soil as men do
here, or more as peasants in European coun-
tries do for the American farmer is very
different kind of an agritulturist from the
peasant of the continent. Three hundred and
fifty thousand women earn their bread as
registered day servantsP that is to say,
they work for their food and lodging. We
have no such class here. and it is to be
hoped that We may never have.

quaint little sketch of 1.-THE Buckley
Lady," Year after year the beautiful
little puritan maiden sits idle and help
less in the sacred parlor making yards
of cross stitch, and waiting, like the
veritable enchanted princess in the
fairy tale, for the lover who has said
he will come from over seas to marry
her. For her humorless father and
mother accept in faith the words
dropped by a passing great gentleman
who expresses in this idle promise his
very genuine admiration for the
child's marvellous face. Shaved for and
waited upon, dressed and educated in
all ladylike accomplishments by the

If he describes this ideal in very

A Curious woman.

The journey Of Mrs. Potter Webb, wife of
the English socialist through the United
States renews the interest in her curious per-
sonality and remarkable career. Mrs. Webb
was ward of Herbert Spencer and shows the
impressed the philosophers mind. Although
she had access to English social circles tn ~
had charms for her. and in some way she
was directed to the deplorable condition of
working gir.s Of London. Long after she
had disappeared from the West end drawing
rooms it was learned. after much speculation.
that the social belle had donned the garb of
the poor shop girl and shared her hardships
for two months.
From that day Beatrice Potter returned no
more to the word. says one of her bicg-
raphers Her sisters had all married men Of
position. but she scorned their happy blu sy
domestic lives, and was to be found only
among the manual laborers. sharing the Gu
rious delusion of other socialists that the
only labor worth consideration is such as may
be performed with the hands. Her studies
led her al over the continent of Europe
Occasionally she would reappear for br.e eff
space and gather about her for an afternoon
her cary friends. but her real companions
mad ceased to be the men who were making
and ruling the English empire and creating
rs science, literature and art. Her friends
were those who called on her in their sh rt
sleeves and smoked clay pipes in her drawing
room.
Two years ago the result of her research
into the progress of poverty appeared in a
carefully prepared work, which set forth
PLAINLY the condition of affairs; and this year
second volume. bearing her own and her
husbands name. has appeared, in which de-
auctions are made and theories are buiIt
upon the facts cleaned in previous years of
labor.
