THE ORIENTAL WOMAN. It is rather a curions reflection that in those countries where women's rights are most completely non-existent, there the specially womanly duties of women are the most pressly neglected. Travellera« in. Egypt, for instance, tall us that when
tho bells call the hour of prayer every man stops whatever, work he is engaged in and prostrates himself to Allah. No won takos any notice of the soned. She is too low in the scale of humanity to make her tribute to the Almightly worthy of acceptance. She ranks in this respect almost with the bruto creation. She is not withdrawn from her dumestic duties by tho claims of religion upon her time and thoughts. And got the same travellers tell is the fearisi noglect from which the na that one of the horrors of Egyptian lifa
children suffer. The poor litt
little creatures are incrusted by dirt
sores aro swarming with ver- mint amidren are frequently seen lying in their mothers' are with six or eight flies in each eye. Ophthalmia and various kinds of blindness are, of course, very provalent, although death releases an enormously large proportion of the chikiren from their sufferings. Three out of every five children who are born die during infancy, and of those who survive one in every twenty is blind. This is being thoroughly mascu lins' with a
Avengeance, and points an instructive moral as to tho.
apon the character of women of the denial liberty, education and responsibility. The haram life. of Oriental ladies of high rank is dull and vacuous to the leat degree. They play with their jewels, cat sweetmeats and smoko pipes, and thus their day passos. If their children are ill they are hopelessly bewildered and utterly unable to take care of them.
