WOMEN AND WoRK, Ferrero’s Intereni Why the Fair Sex Sh “The problem ef woman from a biosort- ological point of view” is treated by Sig. G. Ferrero in the current number of the Mo- nist. “The essentis! condition of feminine existence,” which he desires te analyae in his paper, is that which he names “The Law of Non-Labor.” “As it is a natural lew that the man must labor and struggle to live, so it is a natural law that the woman should neither labor nor struggle for heg ea- istence. Biology clearly shows us thet the Physiclogical prosperity of species depends on the division of labor between the sexes, for in exact ratio to this is the duration of ite.” Marriage, as found among the higher ani- mals, is “a perfected form of the division of labor and mutual co-operation of the sexes.” During hatching time the male bird does all the providing for his brooding mate. At other times her functions in seeking foud are merely auxiliary. Similarly with lion and hyena. the savage woman the writer pronounces to be “merely a passing phase, a very dangerous aberration, produced by the ex- cessive selfishness of man, which does not and cannot last long.” He remarks (hat ine races in which it is found “have remained in a savage state and have made scarcely any progress.” In ctvilized nations female toil is not necessary for the production of the wealth needed for humanity. “Man atone could do this. Woman labor only tends to lower the marketable value of mele labor, for, while woman ts working In the factories, there are everywhere, and espectally tn Europe, crowds of men vainly seeking employment, to whom the cessation of work is an oft- recurrent and terrible evil. This shows that, even from a soctological point of view, fe- male labor ts a pathological phenomenon. “Statistics show us an increase of mor- tality among women and children in coun- tries where industrial life has pressed mothers into its ranks. A perfect woman should be a chef d’oeuvre of grace and re- finement, and to this end she must. be ex- empt from toil. The working woman grows vgly and loses her feminine characteristics. Womanly grace and the love which men bear a beautiful woman have, perhaps, been the origin of paternal love and of all the other sweet and tender feelings of which the male is capable. Grace is the aesthet’ side of weakness, Woman, mere than man, enjoys all the benefits.of civilization, which, nevertheless, have been in great part ac- quired by him alone. Man labors and toils today just as he did of cid, and there is rothing abnormal in this fact, for it is his positive duty. “What advantage. then, can be gained by Farticipating in man’s struggle for extstenc, when woman has culy to wait until he places these benefits at her feet? 4 cannot understand why the question of woman suffrage should so excite public opinion. It is entirely profitiess to her. If her husband Strains every nerve already to provide her with all the luxuries of life he will certainly not be Irx in defending those interests which are identical with, those of nts fam- ily.” si 2o-- saan AILMENTS OF COOKS. Diseases to Which They Are Peceliar- ly Liable and Their Love of Drink. From the Journal des E-upomiast ox, Parisians as well as foreigners who take their meals in the sumptuous and more or less gilded restaurants of Paris seldom give a thought either vo the places in which are prepared the dishes served or to the Professional maladies of most of those who prepare these dishes. A study of the kitch- ens and cooks of Paris is interesting, be- cause there are more than three thousand five hundred of the latter, because they constitute a corporation and are divided into mutual aid societies. Of very limited dimensions, the kitchens of the great res- taurants of Paris are, as a general thing, situated below the sewers, without air. without light, except what can be got from glass lights or openings in the pavement. ‘The gas is burning there constantly and causes a heat which, added to that of the fires, makes these cellars a veritable place of torture, tn which thousands of workmen, Gripping with sweat, pass the greater part of the day in preparing the dishes which are afterward served to us. Examination shows that there are no Places where more maiadies exist than in Parisian kitchens. Two respectable physi- clans who attend to the medical service of the Mutual Ald Society of the Corporation of Cooks of Paris ought to know something about the matter, and in order not to be taxed with exaggeration on this subject we cannot do better than give the testimony of these medical men. The cooks of Paris, say these gentlemen, and not only those of Paris, but also those of the large cities— for the hygténic conttitions unaer which these cooks work are everywhere the same —generally suffer from alcoholism, anaemia, rheumatism, Hyer complaint, pulmonary tuberculosis; besides, nearly all of them have varicose veins, hernia, ulcers and ions of the skin. These infirmities are so frequent that it has been necessary to change the rules for admission to the society, those having the maladies named having been formally refused admission. The need of being con- stantly on their feet, as well as the heat of the fires, softens the tissues and dilates the veins. In order to endure what they have to undergo and to quench the thirst which consumes them, the cooks are obliged to drink, and. as barley water or water mixed with wine or coffee does not strength- en them sufficiently, and as, moreover, the stomach ix disordered by emanations from the gas and coal, they take alcoholic drinks, vermouth, absinthe and an endless series of bitters. Once started on this road, the cooks hecome either alcoholic or dyspeptic, the liver is attacked, vomiting and chronic diarrhoea are frequent. The sudden variations of temperature to which these men, of from twenty-five to thirty years, are exposed on quitting the Tange, to go outdoors or to the refrigera- tors predisposes them to rheumatism and |. phthisis. Finally we allude to the burns. | lows. the chaps and ulcerations of which are customary with dish- washers and pot cleaners. to point out that such affections are very difficult to cure. see Swapping Wives. From the Lewiston (Me.\ Journal. An old sailor in Portiand harbor, who had Just returned from a trip along the Blaine oa: ays that they have a very conven- fent custom of swapping wives down among @ xroup of islands. A fisherman's wife died and teft him with several small children. One day he sailed up the bay to a settle- ment, looked over the feminine contingent with some discrimination, and finally had a short colloquy with a woman whose hus- the wit! the | band was away fishing. She consented to tone go with the fisherman to his home When the hushand raturned nd ay sailed he in his Hampton boat in search of his recreant spouse. He found her, but she wasn't willing to «0 back with him. “Say,” said the man to whom she had clearad, “you've always liked Joe Allen's wife better'n you have your own. You go and take her. If you'll jest git off'n this island without any trouble, Tl give you a wife. he durst not take her, for her h band was a man to be feared. Neverth: less, in a few months Joe Allen's dory went down in a gale, and twenty-four hours later his widow was appropriated by the man who had waited so patiently for her. ——__190 alate The Keeper of Shakespeare's Tomb. From the Londou Globe. A man with many int resting memories is Mr. Thomas Kite, who has just been feied on his eighty-fifth birthday. He has been sexton at Sratford-on-Avon Parts Church for so many years that he can re- member the visit paid by Sir Walter Scott in 1X28 to the poe:'s resting place. Since then kings, noblemen, poets and men of all classes of Wfe have been shown over the church by Kite—Washington Irving. mer. son, Edmund Kean, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Macready included. It is not surprising to hear that Kite's mind is stored with inter. esting facts and amusing ancedote. His father and grandfather were custodians of Shakespeare's grave before him. cee & Good Reason.
