The oriental idea of the freedom
which American women enjoy does not
accord with that of Americans. One
HindOo lady expressed herself as great
ly shocked that American men should
compel their women to go about in
public unprotected, their faces exposed
to the gaze Of strangers, and q Hindoo
gentleman with whom we talked thus
expressed himself on the subject of
oriental treatment of women:
You say that we do not honor our
women. Why, let me tell you that all
HindoO boys, till they are ready to
learn the ways Of men, are taught by
their mothers. We are subject to our
mothers, and we know what you occi-
dentals do not yet seem to realiZe-that
to have good men and good citizens
we must have good mothers. You will
hardly find Il Hindoo man, whatever
his caste, daring to so against the
counsel of his mother. Can you say as
much for American men?"
Could as much, do our readers think
be said for American men? There are
no asylums for helpless fathers and
mothers in the orient. So long as there
is corner and crust to be shared the
parents in the oriental family have the
lions Share.-HOuSehold

Smoking In Spain.

In Spain people smoke necessarily
under all conditions, at all hours and
in all places, except in church. Men
smoke in the railway carriages; they
smoke in all the tram cars; they smoke
in all the minor theaters; they smoke
in all the restaurants. in the hotel din
ing rooms, and. of course, in the cafes
In business offices the merchant and
his clerks smoke. In shops the shop
man, while trying to sell goods to a
lady, will stop to roll a cigarette,
which, when lighted. he will puff in
her face. You see conductors and
drivers Of tram cars smoking All the
hackney cabmen smoke all the time,
while even coachmen and footmen of
private carriages sometimes smoke on
the box. Beggars approach you. ciga-
rette in mouth, to whine for aims If
you ask for tickets at railway office.
the clerk lays down his cigarette as he
hands you the dingy bits of pasteboard.
The innumerable peddlers all smoke
cigarettes all the time.-J. A. Hart in

school Customs In China

Many strange school customs prevail
in China. The girls in that country
seldom go to school unless they are the
children of very rich people. School
work begins before daylight, and after
studying their lessons aloud for two
hours the pupils recite them. They
then go home to breakfast, after which
they return and study again till din
ner time. In the afternoon they go
again to school to prepare lessons for
the following day. By this time it is
night. This goes on every day of the
week, for there is no such thing as the
Sunday holiday.

than twelve hours, causing the Solo

men are rowing through the streets.
The storm has been heavy north and
west. A great many families have left
their homes and moved to places of
safety. Stock has suffered heavily
and planted grain has been washed out

it is said, than it has been since the

Origin of the Tomato.

The English word of direct Indian
origin most frequently in use is to-
mato. A native of tropical or sub
tropical America. it was cultivated by
the subjects of the Incas and Monte
zumas. as we'll as by the other semi
civilized natives, long before the adj
vent of Europeans on this hemisphere
under the name of tumatl or tomatl.
Though introduced into Europe al
most as early as it's congener. the po-
tato, it was many years before it made
its way into popular favor. There it
was first known to the English as love
apple. to the French as pomme d'amour
and to the Italians as pomi d'amore.
and these names are still in use, per-
petuating the old, widespread notion
that its use as food had an influence
on the amatory passions.
