4 Paradise for Women.

In the matter of woman's rights
Abyssinia is far ahead of Europe and
America. According to an authority,
the house and all its contents belong to
her, and if the husband offends her she
not only can but does turn him out OF
doors till he is duly repentant and
makes amends by the gift of COW or
the ,half of camel-that is to say, half
the value of a camel. On the other
hand, it is the privilege and duty of the
wife to abuse her husband, and she can
divorce herself from him at pleasure,
whereas the husband must show rea-
sons to justify such an act on his part.

An African King presented a Spanish
King with magnificent orange tree,

foreign Ambassador was tormented by

some OF the gigantic animals and rep

them with fear and congratulate our
selves that they are extinct types. We
have no needs that they could supply.
They could not live In our environments
nor we In theirs. SO there have been
among men monsters OF power and VIC.

are glad they lived In another epoch.
The almanac maker notes their birth

But there are men who have 80 won
our hearts that we would recall them n
we could. We feel the need OF them. No
change OF dynasties. no outbreak OF the
mob threatens their monuments. One
can hardly conceive OF any civil revolu-
tion or any riotOus outbreak In our coun-
try that would not respect the m0nu.
menis OF Washington and OF Lincoln.
While they lived they were at times
hated by men and by communities; but,

"We assemble on this anniversary OF
the birth OF Washington. not 30 much, II
at all, 10 bring tribute 10 him, a. 10 learn
at his feet the lessons OF conscientious
citizenship. The imitable qualities OF
Washington's character and life; those
that did not exhaust themselves on To-

not only 20 military commanders and
chief magistrates, but 10 the unofficial
