themselves and their own horneé, and
they ca"re little or nothing foe the
rest. The maternal instinct fa dying
but before education and refinement
and is already in great part succeeded;
by a factor which fa nothing more
than an act of the intellect by whioh
the advntages and disadvantages of
the case are fully Considered. Fifty
years agro probably not one young
married couple in a thousand thought
' of this subject. Now it fa in many
? eases calmly discussed, especially
when the parties are in a position of
:fe above that of the very lowest.
The indisposition to assume the
cares and responsibilities of mother-
hood exist to a greater or less extent
throughout the whole civilized world.
Btit I am very confident from my own
personal experience, as well as from
the observation of ttiany physicians
and intelligent laymen with whom 1
have conferred, that American wom-
en are proteminent among those of all
civilized nations in their, anxiety to
escape the obligations that the bear-
ing and rearing of children impose. It
fa true that the women of Prance are
not far behiud in this rather ignoble
race, and that English women are rap-
idly gaining a prominent place in it,
" but for the present at least American
women lead. Thero are many reasons
:¡ lor this pre-eminence. . i
In the first place, many American
women are bo educated as to acquire
the belief that the personal display,
luxury and what they call "exejte-
-Í ment" are the principal considera-
tions bywhich ttySy are to be actuat-
ed in their pursuit of happiness. It is
only necessary to see them, of all ages,
As they frequent the various resorts
to which they Hock in the summer
and to observe their dress and man-
ners in order to perceive how wild is
their idea of the place of woman in
. "the world.
It is said that American women, by
being allowed such freedom, soon ac-
. quire the ability to take care of tbeni-
í selves; but it is just this sense of pow-
er when they attain it which is to a
great extent one of the circumstances
which influence them ih their antagon-
ism to maternity. They know that
With the care of children on their
liands their liberties would bo curtail-
ed. and their independence would, in a
'great measure, vanish.
But to return to the summer re-
sorts. Here from the child of less
than a dozen years up to the age of
maturity, bedecked in silks and satins
of gorgeous hues and often blazing with
, diamonds and other precious stones,
/ they assemble night after night in the
ballroom to engage in promiscuous
í dancing with boys and men they had
never met before. They are sharp
enough to percéive that the women
With children who maybe in the house
can not participate in thégayetiesand
. that they roceive little attention. The
lesson is one that they never unlearn.
They flirt with one man alter an-
'Other, employing wiles which excite
thé astonishment of their elders, while
the mpthvrs aré either looking'after
their babies or sitting in corners feel-
ing that a summons to attend one of
tbenymay at any moment come. The
belles know that only rich men could
•.próvido them with servants re-
Íuisite to attend to tho wants of chil-
ren, but they also know that rich
" Tmetj are few and far between.
After all, tho fault in such cásea
rests primarily with the parents.
They are," perhaps, the architects of
their own. lortunes, arriving at com-
petence only after severe struggles and
tho endurance of many* hardships.
I'iProiid of their daughter's so-called ac-
1 ¿omplishments, tboy gratify them-
selves by showing her oi! arrayed
with a degree of splendor far beyond
| what her mother had ever dreamed of
in her most hilarious slumbers. They
see her admired by men of a higher so-
cial position than the one thev had
occupied in their young days and they
féel fully compensated for the poverty
i&t)d all its attendant, evils of their
PWU married life, with their six or
J moro children, when t hey witness the
l^iAl triumphs of thoir girl.
J^Ahl" I heard a mother say one
;líight at a fashionable watering pi afín
¡where her two daughters, neither of
J them- fifteen yeavu old, magnificently
'attired, ami with solitaire diamonds

From the Nile , (Mich.) Democrat.
Some weeks since we promised, if
possiule, to obtain an account of. the
work done* by one of our Michigan la-
dies in One year.
Thia lady fa Mrs. Catherine Car ber-
ry, and the record from fall of 1885
to fall of 1886 is substantially as fol-
lows, in. her owfi concise language:
"Sliolled 55 bushels of corn and put
it in the bin. Got home 6,300 pounds
of coal and putitin the bin. Tvimgied
80 rods of fence andv burned most of
the brush. Sheared eight aheep.
Dropped 11 aérea ot corn and helped
cover it. Worked three acres'of corn,
ploughed it five timee and hoed it once.
Topped it and hauled the fodder to
the barn. - Snapped the corn and took
it' to the bain, where my huaband, 86
years busked it. It mada 105 buahefa
in the ear. I gat heredmy pumpkins and
dug my potatoes and got fifteen cords
of wood in the shed and piled it up.
Gathered my apples and put them in
the cellar. Took my cider apples tó
the mill and broüsht back five barrels
of cider. Took one load to the cider
mill and sold them. I spaded Up the
giound and planted ana worked my
garden. Moved twenty rod of rail
fence and helped move twenty inore,
I cut and made my husband one
coat, and cut and made a vest and
pants and four shirts and hemmed
three pocket handkerchiefs for him.
Made my j elf six dresses (three nice
ones and three common ones), nine
aprons, one polonaiso, eight pair of
pillow cases, four sheets, and hemmed
twelve napkins.1
There are 923 pages in the
Old Testament, and I read 619
pages besides religious and other
papers,1 and kept a diary of the
weather and my work, and an ac-
count of What we bought and sold
with day and date. Did my house-
work and took care of my stock-
three horses, three head of. cattle,
eight sheep, and fifty hens—and rais-
ed a pet cat.' .1
Mrs. Carberry is 04 years of age and
weighs but ninety-five pounds. She
retires each night at 10 o'clock and
rises at 4 o'clock each morning, and
takes no naps between times.
In addition to' the above, tho lady
has taken care of an invalid husband
and done many tilings unmentioned
in this account, and among them we
may mention that she has taken and
paid tor in advance t)ie local papers
and has honorably paid every cent for
every thing she has bought.
This is a woman's "work, and the
record is sufficiently commedable to
make many a man bluah for shame.
Few there are who have so fully fol-
lowed the admonition. "Whatsoevei
he saith unto you, do it."
Pullman Car Building.
The Chicago Mail says: When Mr.
Pullman retyrns be w''' find tho car
shops in the suburb south of us rushed
with orderc as they have not been in
years. The orders now on hand can-
not be executed by Jan. 1, 1888. Tho
Pullman system now employs 7;508
persona. In the car shops at Pull-
man alone there are 3,800 workers,
and tlieirpay roll for June was $150,.
000. This is an average of about $50,.
a month, including many girls, boye
and unskilled laborers. It is the high-
est average of salary paid by any
manufacturing concern in, the United
States. Skilled mechanics at Pull-
man make from $75 to $140 per
month. "What .was the cost of fie
most expensive car ever duilt by the
Pullmans?" I asked tho head of one
-of the departments there. "Fortv
thousand dollars," was the roply. "it
cametogrief, however; was in aamash-
up and was destroyed-- The average
cost of ft Pullman car is about 815,-
000. The " vestibule car costs $18,-
000," "I)o you buiU cars at Pull-
man and ship thorn to the Old Coun-
try?" "We construct the metal and
running parts here and send them
to the Derby shops in England,
where the woodwork finishing and up-
bolstering are done."

that you told it simply to niako peo-
