HALL & RUCKEL, Montreal. Modern credulity is taxed to reconâ€" cvile a life so circumscribed with a conception of environment. A Chinâ€" «e woman knows no life but this.

Hence it happens that wives are tolerant of the others, amt often provide for them when husbands die, and rear chikiren they have borne. This sketch of life, as found among those of gooi@t estate, in character as well as means, is analogous to a s««mmary applying in Western homes where conscience joins with custom ilvrierzuluting sociat and domestic conduct. Cireumscribed though the lifo of a Chinase woman may be, and differing so sharply in detail from acceptel standards elsewhere as to mako it seem almost intoleraâ€" bis, it uis compensations of some webcht. The privation, drudgery, and subordJination to which a Chinese woman is subject, come when she has youth and strength and buoyâ€" ant vigor. As these depart and she needs relief, social and family cusâ€" tom provides it, and with advancing years her cares lighten, her comâ€" forts increase, and her afternoon is pillowed for her. In spite of limitations, Chinese woâ€" men are quite human., By foregoing the pleasures of courtship and selecâ€" tion, she does not, as a matter of easurse, shut her heart to romance.

The Chinese do not think it worth while to name a girl. She is sister, and goes by number. If her mother gives her a pet appelliation, that is their own dear secret. The husband never learns of it To him sghe is the Chinese equivalent _ for "Hi, there," or "Oh, say," until the babies arrive, when she becomes "Chang‘s mother," or is otherwise inâ€" directly designated. That does not bother her, for she knows no other girl except as the owner of . A Certain Number in some man‘s home. Yet mother i6 a term of love and power. A man may do as much as he likes in regard, to nis wife, but though he be gray, and bent he cannot embark in any enterâ€" prise or undertake a journey, if his mother is living, without her conâ€" sent. Sons will once in a while get a refractory western notion into their heads, and imagine that since they are middleâ€"aged, and have for many years kept the pot boiling for a large domestic establishment, they need consult no wishes but their own. It is in the power of m mother to cause the arrest of such a son for disobedience and to indicate the number of bamboo blows he should receive in punishment ; and the magâ€" lstrate must give the order that she prescribes. Woman shines in China as elsewhere in the domestic relation. She is not the mere convenience that social rules would make her. Those rules abound in exceptions so plentifully as to be distinguished by them. Her tbraits are those of womankind ; wishâ€" ing always to please and to be loved. In spite of all that is said of the lack of Oriental morality, she is reaâ€" sonably observantof the Ten Comâ€" mandments without having ever heard of them; There is no more cheerful being anywhere. In the lower walks, which foreign visitors observe, the wife is man‘s helpmate in every practical way. She assists in his farming, yulohs his boat for him, shares his packs, and eases him of much of the miscellaneous labor that he must perform, besides looking afâ€" ter his home, rearing his children, and weaving, spinning and employâ€" ing her deft needle for the family purge., to declare himself only in a figurative way and for practical purposes app°Ar to be submissive. ‘The national cosâ€" tume, which puts the trousers on woâ€" man and the frocks on man in China, does not always seem displaced. _ Higher in the social scale, where women are kept from the gaze, not not only of visitors, but also of ali natives except closest friends or reâ€" latives, there is no reason to «upâ€" pose that they are less blessed than the lower orders with the essentials of happiness in their station. _ One may get glimpses of their round, conâ€" tented faces, of their tiny feet, that charm a native husband, of silks, velâ€" vets and embroideries with which their garments are fashioned, and of gleaming hair, ornamented with pearls, beads, jade and goldâ€"a setâ€" ting so ornate that one cannot doubt the quality of the jewel. It civilized wom>n â€" were always kindly treated, it might be worth while pointing out instances in wheh that lot has not uniformly fallen to her Chinese sister, but Careworn Faces are Rare in China and one of the mast common sights is that of women trudging about with quiect babies slung in strap cradles across their backs, or at play with their chubby, laughing, heathen offâ€" spring. Foreign familirs who employ Chinese nurses lind them tender and faithful. They think themselves of a family when they join it, and the children love and trust them. Opportunity and incentive do not come to the Chinese woman as to women in other lands. The education lavighed on her brothers is denled her. The traiitions and tendencies of the race would dwarf her mind and impre@s upon her no lesson so strongâ€" ly aw that of sefâ€"subordination. Her influence in the home and the reverâ€" ence for motherhod1, everywhere ob eerve1, reflect merits that must be obeer ved. Chinese history is not _ minute enough to tell how far she has ghaped national character and desâ€" tiny. In the two instances in which she has s far risem above the plane eet for her as to become the ruler of the vrast emnire, her talents have not euffered by .comparison _ with thow= of the Emperors.

Adnah Burns, of Dayspring, N.S8., Tolls an Intercsting Story From His Own Experience. (From the Progress, Lunenburg, N.8.) Capt. Adnah Burnse, of Dayspring, Lunenburg Co., N. §, is a prominent frepresentative of a large clase of men in Nova Scotia, who, during much of the year, follow the danâ€" geroug occupition of drepâ€"sea fishâ€" ing. When not at sea Capt. Burns‘ avocation is that of shipâ€"carpenter. He is 43 years of age, and is toâ€"day a healthy, vigorous representative of hie class. Capt. Burns, however, has not always enjoyed this vigorous health, and while chatting recently with a representative of the Lunenâ€" burg Press, he said he believed that but for the timely use of Dr. Wilâ€" liamg‘ Pink Pills he would have been a chronic invalid. ‘"From 1895 to 1898," eaid Capt. Burns, "I was the victim of a complication of troubles. I @uppose they had their origin in the hardghip anrd exposure I so freâ€" quently had to undergo. â€" My illnees took the form of dyspepsia and kidâ€" ney trouble. The food4 which I ate did not agree with me, and frequentâ€" ly gave me a feeling of naumea and at other times distressful pains in the etomach. Then I was much troubled with pains in the back, due to the kidney troubles#. Finally I took a seâ€" vere cold, which not only sgeemed to aggravate these troubles, but which geemed to affect my spine as well, aadi I became partially rigid in the arms andi legs I was forced to quit work, and doctored for a time with little or no benefit.

The etraightforward manner in which the story was told gave me new hope, and I determined to try theso pills. I sent for three boxes. Of course I did not expect that this quantity would cure me, but I whought it would probably decide whether they were suited to my c. .o. I must say they seemed to act like magic, and before the pilles were yone there was a Gecided improveâ€" ment in my condition. I then got a half dozen boxes more, and before they were gome I was back again at work in the shipyard and enjoying once more the blessing ol vigorous health. This was in the spring of 1898, and since that time up to the prels>nt I have not been laid up with illnews.

It is such endorsations as these that give Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills their great popularity throughout the world.
