Oriental view of God.

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 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 occl-
dentals do not yet seem to realize-that
to have good men and good citizens
we must have good mothers. You will
hardly find Hindoo man, whatever
his caste, daring to go 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 a 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 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 i'm 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
Argonaut. '.. \
