DUTIES OF JAPANESE WOMEN.
The Extreme Limitation of Privileges,

rhs Extreme Limitation of Priviie ges,
Whether Maid. Wife or widow.
The chief duty of Japanese woman
all her life is obedience; while unmar-

her husband and his parents; when
widowed. to her son, says the Cornhill
Magazine. In the Greater Learning of
Women" we read: "A woman should
look upon her husband as II he were
heaven itself and thus escape celestial
punishment. The five worst maladies
that afdict the female mind are: In
docility, discomfort, slander, jealousy
and Stiffness. Without any doubt these
five maladies aff1ict seven or eight out
| Of every ten women and from them
arises the fnferiority of women to men
A woman should cure them by self
inspection and self-reproach. The

other four is silliness!" The above ex-
tract shows us very clearly the position

tion from her husband. however great

no country does one md a higher stan
dard of morality than among the mar
ried women of Japan. Faithlessness is
practically unknown, although the poor
little wives must often have much to
put UP with from their autocratic lordA
and masters. They bear all, however.
