She was not to blame that the gods had made her a woman, the Empress of China is reported to have said, when, as a twelve-year-old slave, the viceroy demurred on the ground of her sex to her desire to be taught to read, although he had promised her what- ever she most wished, in return for the beautiful 'robe she had embroider- ed him. The requested instruction, fin- ally obtained, proved the first step to the unique power which this Chinese woman exercised in an empire where, as' Bishop Galloway says, "women are secluded; protested against at birth, and regarded as a calamity in vouth." I hear on all sides from the heads of the societies and bureaux for the ployment of women, bility. of procuring fitting occupation for the crowds of women of all ages who, from various changes of circum- | stances, are frequently suddenly thrust | vinto the thick of the fight for exist- | rence. To secure the shield of any technical training or profession to give | them immunity from the wounds of | possible want, 1 wonder that all spin- ster sisters do not recollect the pom- press of China's argument, and claim, like their brothers, as a natural right, instead of as an unusual privilege, a professional training in the particular capacity for which they have taste-- be it cooking, dressmaking, gardening, poultry-keeping, music, painting, carv- ing. etc. And then like the Jews of old, they would have a trade to fall back upon, when death, the marriage of a widowed father, or eldest browner, loss of money, or any other cause, drives. them, nolens volens, from the home where they had been happy in for the pleasant round and trivial task which furnished all they needed to a The secretary of a college for women told me recently that the number of girls qualified for teaching far ex- ceeds the posts obtainable. And the following advertisement copied from the Morning Post shows that such work is at a discount; *'Governess: Superior morning, from Paris; terms 10s. a week. Subjects : Gerinan, Ita- lian.

Mrs. Sidgwick, 'a great authority on the: women ques- unless financially well provided for, it is the duty of parents to give each daughter a technical training in the branch of industry for which she has a taste; is it not to the neglect of this duty that much misery is due ?

As the girl always had a taste for shorthand. what a hoon it would have been to her now, had she been taught it in her parent's lifetime ! A rich man's sudden suicide in the West End of London caused a sensation a little time ago, as the daughters found themselves. with only a five-pound note each, given them by their father on the morning of the tragedy, and in their ignorance of any kind of needle-work they were unable to earn 10s. a week in a milliner's work-room, while the sons had at least their university training or professions to which to turn. Board and lodging, insufficient pay- ment for a servant, might be enough for a sister or a daughter's services as governess, housekeeper, sick nurse, cook, ete., were the tenure of occupa- tion noty so insecure. But, as we know, any moment the bomb, of a fresh turn of affairs may- shatter the bond of blood, and rob her of her home with- out any nest-egg of savings, and the vears of conscientious service as nurse, cook; housekeeper, etc., do not count as experience qualifying for situations. Is it a wonder, then, that there is such an exodus from homes ? A sensible girl of mv acquaintance, living in a large house in London, suggested having a salary if she staved on as her father's housekeeper after the death of © her mother. The assent to this proposal proved practical and beneficial, for the girl became a person of position and value in the house, which, I am glad to say, on the parent's death, was left to her, so tht her brothers. be came her boarders, instead of her be em- of the impossi- i Delicious Drinks and Dainty Dishes A RE MADE FROM BAKER'S BREAKFAST COCOA ABSOLUTELY PURE Unequaled for Smoothness, Delicacy, and Flavor Our Choice Recipe Book, sent free, will tell you how to make Fudge and a great variety of dainty i hes from our Cocoa and Chocolate.

I was afflicted with bronchial and lung trouble for three years.

My system was eatirely run down, and I suffered éxceedingly from female A friend of mine living in Muskoka told me to try Ozone, the new system of treatment, as she had been greatly benefited by it did not get much relief. At the end of the second bottle I felt much improved, aad when I had taken nine bottles I had quite recovered. ; My husband did not know that I had taken Ozone, and thought I had stopped the doctoring altogether. He said io me:--** Didn't I' tell you 'that you would get well when you stopped taking medicine ?*' surprised, and thought that it would do his eczema good.

A lady of well-known name, 1 know, has just been left a widow, almost penniless. Although she has a great talent for painting, she was unable to cultivate it as she devoted twelve vears of her life to bringing up her little brothers and sisters from a month old, and up- wards, after the death of her mother. The brothers are now in the army, navy, church, law, etc. For without any recommendation from 'strangers, she is counted as unqualified, even for the care of children, of whom she has had so much experience! Home work, which after all is the highest in the world, should be put on a better foot- ing, for not only might it be paid for, but it should, based on a training qualifying for work elsewhere. As Mrs. Wynford Phillips said at one of the able lectures on "Openings for Wo- men," at the Women's Institute, even the most conservative men: recognize domestic duties as a domain oi techni cal training for women: and they should therefore forward their'® "at: tendance at the Battersea Polvtechnic, where instruction is given in all do- mestic arts, and diplomas of proficien- cv granted. "Would," continued the eloquent speaker, "that there were a domestic degree !"" If the example of the Battersea Polytechnic were fol lowed all lover the country, the boon would indeed be great. As Miss Lam- by says in her contribution to the collection of articles published under the title, "What is Secondary FEduca- tion ?': "Girls should more widely than at present have means provided wheréby they might learn: domestic economy--cooking, dairy or laundry work--in a practical fashion, such as would make it possible for = them to do such work professionally." Then, as examiners are sent annually to spe- cified centres for the Oxford Local, College of Preceptors. Ambulance and other examinations, why cannot quali- fied examiners go at stated times to different towns and grant certificates to women who are experts in poultry- keeping, gardening, teaching. house | | keeping, correspondence, book-keeping. dressmaking, ete. ? And as these dj- plomas would give a proper status to spinster sisters, their home service would then count as getive service, en- titling them to proper recognition at home and abroad.
