Many BarbarOus Tribes Are Exceed
ingly Deferentinl to Women.
Untraveled people commonly sup
pose that savages always treat their
women badly, making mere slaves and
beasts of burden Of them. This is
true in some cases, but many bar
barians are exceedingly chivalrOus to-
ward women.
The Maoris of New Zealand always
treat women with the greatest defer
ence and respect, 50 much so that the
Earl Of Ranfurly once called them
1.-The truest gentlemen on earth" They
will not permit woman to do any hard
work if they can do it for her, and
their boys are taught from earliest
youth that rudeness and unkindness
toward women are crimes only second
to lying and cowardice.
A young English lady named Ger
trude Bell Travelled alone among the
Druses Of Syria. She was everywhere
received by them with the greatest
courtesy and hospitality. Special tents
were assigned to her use, and the

We're just as courteous to their own

The Fijians go to extremes. They
are so deferential and polite to their
womenfolk that they let the latter
"rule the roost" entirely. A woman's
word is apt to be law in the Fiji is
lands.
AS rule, women occupy a sub
ordinate place in the east, but Kali

der the Great as their ancestor and
