.FRIDAY FEBRUAEY 11, 1876.1 Why Don't Women Eead ? A young husband and wife, with' their only child, have recently come into our midst. He Is quite well read, is indus trious, -and desirous of standing well in the community. She is kind-hearted, agreeable, and fond of him and her child, but is constantly complaining of being lonesome, and feels obliged to spend the afternoous visiting acquaint ances, and laments, when the little round is completed, that she has no other places to visit. "Why not spend your leisure in read ing?" "Ob, I am not fond of It," she an swered. "I read stories sometimes." Yesterday, a pretty little wife visited us. Her husband is thoroughly cul tured, and a fine scholar and scientist. She has leisure, and enough for all life's needs. "What a grand-opportunity you have for self-improvement." we sasd to her. "Oh, yes ! my husband wishes that I would read more, but I am not fond of itl" Ana tna young wife lives on, willingly and willfully his inferior: no more fitted to be his companion in the coming years thau the sloth is fitted for tue antelope. And these are not, unfortunately, two exceptional cases. The world has hosts of them, and why ? Surely not because woman is inferior to man in mind. This- might have been the prevailing opinion a century ago, but her entrance into many of the best colleges of the land alter equal examinations witn young men, the various prizes she has taken m hign scnools and colleges, wiiere ner sex were not alone compet itors, her success in medicine, science. literature, theology even, saying noth ing of her attainments in the ceaseless struggles tor money in America, which men call business all these prove that God has given her powers quite eqnal to any of bis creatures, and the use de pends upon herself and the society which she permits to mould her; titstVi nlno 1 4311a Via Vionrla n VtMin k i vu . i nr; jui 1 1 a o UMiiua ti-ii4, .uiaiu with frivolities, instead of things which tend to higher womanhood. Elizabeth JBlackwell, Mary Somerville, George Eliot, Sarah Smiley, and a host of oth ers, have opened the doors so wide for woman mat sue may enter it stie will, She is no longer, as in the beginning of this century, taught to believe that to "read, write, and cipher" are enough accomplishments for a woman. She is no longer told that she must not be in terested in the aflairs of government, because it is work enough to adorn her precious body. The church is saying to her as it nfever said before, "There is a robing of righteousness more comely lor a beautiful woman even tnan gold, or pearls, or costly array." The world is beginning to learn what iNapoleon knew that ignorant mothers never can train 'and develop grand men and women. "Educate a woman and you educate a race," has been drilled into the brain of the nineteenth century. Truly, says Victor Hugo, "Alan was the problem of the eighteenth century; woman of tne nmeteentn." Tuere is no greater question before the civilized world to-day than this: "What type of woman will we nave in America's great luture V" There are mighty matters looming up, Catholicism is one. When nine-tenths of all in the Catholic church are brought tuere by women; wnen tins church holds in its bands its schools and all its benevolent associations, and makes woman a teacher in all that marvel ously organized institution, save, the one of public ministry, it is pertinent to ask what kind of Protestant women shall we have to meet the on-coming of the hosts of Borne? Trained as are their women in missionary work and devo tion, accustomed to transact business and bear responsibilities, go anywhere duty calls, rather than be left to drift out into the glittering whirlpool of so ciety and fashion, is it strange they are a power v politicians may make It a party cry, the press may. echo it, but the Protestant women will have a most important part to act in this Catholic movement. How can they act their part unless they read? How train their children. how counsel their husbands, how help make public opinion ? A man with a frivolous and inefficient wife is like boat rowed against the tide. He only makes half the man he might have oeen, and goes neaviiy freighted with his burden, when he ought to have had a nana at tne neim. Intemperance is another vital issue. rue wuoie wona, witn a lew excep tions, is convinced of the enormity of tne evil. JUen walk, straight over the precipice, knowing it is tbere. It is the old story of the sirens, and few are wise enough, like Ulysses, to stop their ears as ttiey sail by tue charmed snot. They do not drink because tbev love the maddening draught, but because court esy and custom rule the hour. They think successful trade requires it, show oi generosity requires it, a mistaken Idea of a good time requires it, and fashion has taken Vice, a monster of so frightful mien, That, to be bated, needs but to be seen, Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face. We first endure, then pity, then embrace," into the very presence of woman, and made a beautiful hand send a dagger through, a soul by- the proffer of the wine-cup. Tne evil nardly seems to be abating. Appetite and avarice have locked hands. The boys learn to drink before they know its fatal power. The brightest and the best ot the mothers' sons go down. Public opinion keens the girls away from the saloons, but not away from the tears and poverty of arunkarus' wives, aien and women will love each other while the world stands, and if pure, what more blessed? And yet shall woman always, in her virtue and her trust, learn Jean Inge- low's sau lesson oi "giving more than shereceives?" giving a clean body and soul, and receiving too often a man who has learned to swear, to be immoral, to be unsafe as a companion and a guardian because he has entered the way of death tnrougn tue open dram-suop. The blood-money from this traffic has lounu its way into respectable society, into affairs of government, and into the churches, even. Good men have been too busy to grapple with this sin Women have been content to live in the sunlight of a home which a true man made heaven for them, and thought they need not touch the burden with one of their fingers. They have known or thougbtlittle of the sin of the world, and too often their own sons, an disciplined by Spartan mothers, have Jalleu witn tne first temptation. great Host of women, the country over, nave oorue tneir sorrow uncompiain mgiy, lor who cared tor a drunkard'! wife or-children? They had no power to toucn government, or society, even They lived in poverty and sorrow. The great liquor power trampled them under foot, and. the "good .people' , passed-by on ine -oiner- Biae. Jtney naa married for better or worse, for richer onnoorer. and the grave was the only place where tne destroyer uia not come. Within a year they have waked up to the great situation. They -were hurried into the conflict. They have done grand work, but scarcely only picket iuty to what is beyond. How will they know what friend or foe is doing if tney do not read? Do they familiarize themselves With what England, and Scotlaud, and Germany, even, are doing in this great matter? Do tbeyread of what woman has done in centuries past In great emergencies, aud Ask their God what he has for them in tue years close at hand ?' Who mould society ? Women. Who make one code of honor for young women, and another for young men ? Largely, women." Who make nearly turee-rourtns or tnecnurcn y women. Who ought to be conversant with the affairs of State, aud be interested above all others in good laws, good persons to execute .them, and a government estab lished in righteousness? Women. Are we too busy already ? Perhaps it is work of our own, and not God's mak ing, lieuer read and think an hour, and leave off a ruffle or a call. There are other matters. Bergh will find in the years to come, that the women of America will join hands with mm in a higher humanity, that takes tender care of every animal uod has made. we are stepping into a new genera- tion, .not less womanly, not- less re fined, not less Christian, but a more earnest, more cultured, more helpful womanhood. We want not simply novel-readers, but readers of history, of science, or morals, ana or tne times we live in. I am amazed at tue great number of women who never read a daily or weekly newspaper. Perhaps one woman who reads this will answer the question, which, though there are many exceptions, is still pertinent to the sex, Why don't women read Advance- Ostrich-Panning. A very perfect system of ostrich farming has beenestablished at the Cape of Good Hope. Different practices prevail at different establishments. The birds are allowed occasionally to sit; but the success which has attended the use of artificial contrivances is so great. that fewer losses 'occur by this means than under natural circumstances, and the use of incubators is becominir very general. The chicks produced are so healthy as to show that they do not suffer from this mode of treatment. The general arrangement of ostrich- farms is very similar in all cases. The desiderata are plenty of space, suitable soil that is, sand and pasture with la- cilities for growing the proper food conveniences for shelter, and water. A well-conducted "farm" would require perhaps 3,000 capital to begin in a small way. The industry at the Cape is barely eltrut years old, aud much has to be learned by a beginner; loss and dis appointment are frequently experienced at first, but the occupation is considered a very profitable one, and is certainly healthy and agreeable; yet nowhere are patience, sagacity, and perseverence more necessary than in the conduct of a' cood ostneb-tarm. A healthy bird ot a week old is worth 10; at three months it will be worth 15; and at six months, 30 and more, Feathers may be plucked from the os trich when a year old, and each year's crop will be worth about 7 per bird At five years, the breeder begins to pair his birds, and each pair will yield from eighteen to twenty-four eggs in a sea son. It is necessary to keep the adult birds in separate paddocks, which are generally surrounded by wire-lencing. The ostrich is liable to sudden fits of jealousy. In such a case, frequent quar rels would ensue If the birds were all to gether in one enclosure, with the result. if not of black eyes, at least of damaged feathers, and perhaps broken legs, and even death to one of the combatants, The blow from the leg of the ostrich has been computed to be fully equal to the force developed by the kick of a colt seven months old. But whatever be the exact force produced, it is very severe, suincientiy so to break a man's leg. The ostrich, however, both male and female, is quite an exemplary parent, notwithstanding the popular rumor that, like the crocodile, it leaves its eggs in the sand, to be hatched simply by the action of solar heat. Father and mother take it in turn to sit on the eggs, and when the ostrich takes his female com panions out for their evening promenade in tne desert, one or tuem always re mains by tne nest. This fact is sum cient to induce many breeders to leave the eggs to be hatched in the natural way, and merely to devote their ener gies to the rearing of the young birds and the collection of the feathers. These are operations which require very great care. .Regular supplies of iooa aoout two pounds a day to each adult are necessary; shelter must be provided for the night, and to shield the birds lrom the violent storms which fre quently burst over the southern part of Africa; and there must be supplies of saua or peonies, wmcn tue birds swat low, as aids to digestion. Pensine is un knowu among those birds of the desert. and they introduce a quantity of hard substances into their gizzard, to assist them in grinding up their food, just as the dyspeptic featherless biped takes his morning bitters to help the secretion of tne gastric juices, it is very amusing to watch the flock of young birds as the attendant enters to scatter their break fast. The moment he appears with his load of "green-meat," the youngsters of tue. ostnen iamny trot up to the en trance, and caper and dance about in the most grotesque manner, and devour their food with evident relish. They are generally tame, anu to a certain ex tent tractable; but as they grow old tbey sometimes evince a sourness of temper which is anything but encour aging to the formation of a near ac quaintance with them. As the feathers are picked they are sorted according to their quality and purity of color. The pure whites from the wings are called "bloods," the next quality, "prime whites," "firsts." "sec onds," and so on. The tail feathers are not so valuable, and the more irregular tne marKings oi tne colored varieties the less valuable are they. "Bloods" will fetch from forty to fifty pounds sterling per pound-weight in the whole sale, market;, and from. this price tbey ranges low as five shillings per pound. The quality of the feathers produced by tame ostriches is fully equal to the oest collected irom "wild" birds, whil the general average is much higher. jMotwitnstanaing tne increasing yield prices are rising instead or falling; In ueeu, gooa ostnen learners are now thrice as dear as they were fifteen years ago. But it is more than probable that as the production increases 'the price win eventually iau. .ven with reduced prices, the profits would be sufficiently large to render ostncn-iarming a very profitable undertaking, and, as each year will increase the experience of oreeuers, tne difficulties will be gradu ally diminished and losses more easily avoided. As it is. this strance indnstrv the domestication of the wild birds of the" desert, once regarded as types of liberty and intractability is at the same time one of the most interesting uuu mustprouiaoieio me Aincan trader.
