The japanese Woman.

The Japanese woman exists pri-
marily for and in the family. We still
adhere to the old way of thinking that
her natural habitat is the home, and
that her appearance at the polls is
as unnatural as on the battlefield. Let
it be far from me to give an impress
sion, already too prevalent abroad and
at home, that we look upon women
only as cogs in the machinery of the
kitchen or as mere puppets and orna-
ments in the parlor, writes Doctor
Nitrobe in the Japanese Nation. The
personality of the fair sex is not as
clearly recognized among us as 1t
ought to be; but I am confident that
it will come with more general en-
lightenment of public conscience. AS
it is at present, the aim of female
education is to make "a good wife and
a wise mother" a stereotyped shib.
boleth on the lips Of all educators and
of the nation, circumscribing the end
and aim of woman's life. According
to this doctrine, it is not as person,
but as wife and mother, that woman
is to be educated.

It was that when paper was scarce or
expensive, old cards were too useful
to be destroyed. They were, on the
contrary, used for various purposes.
Thus they are often found in the
bindings of old books, where they
were preserved. The old cards were
also sometimes cut up for paper dolls.
They were also used as cards Of in
vitation and as visiting cards. Thack'
cray refers to this in Henry
Esmond."
The earliest examples Of wood cuts
were intended for playing cards. They
antedate the famous St. christopher
wood cut that is sometimes credited
with being the earliest.
In the olden days playing cards, in
stead of knitting, were used by spec
tators in playhouses as an amusement
while waiting for the performance tt
begin.
Such widely differing materials az
silver, leather, paper, wood, parch
ment, cardboard, deerskin and ever
buffalo hide have all been used in
making playing cards.
