CAGED DAUGHTERS.

WHAT A SCIENTIST SAYS. At the recent congress of the British Association at Dundee, Professor Leonard Hill, of the London Hospital, discussed l>efore the physiological section (he "caged daughters of the well-to-do." "Many of the educated daughters of the well-to-do," ho observed, "are tho Ilolsam and jetsam cast up from the lida in which all others struggle for existence —their lives are no less monotonous than, the sweated sempstress or clerk. They become filled with 'vapours,' and some seek excitement, not at the cannon's nitiulh, but in breaking windows, playing with fire, and hunger strikes. The dull monotony of idle social functions, shopping, and amusement no less than that of sedentary work and an asexual life, impels, to a simulated struggle—a theatrical performance, the parts of which are studied from tho historical romances of revolution. "It seems to me," continued the professor, "that tho world is conducted as if ten men were on an island—a microcosm —and fiyo sought for the necessaries of, life, hunted for food, built shelters and fires, mode clothes of skins, whilo tho olhor five strung necklaces of shells, made loin-cloths of butterfly wings, gambled with knucklo-boncs, drew comic pictures in the sand, or carved out of clay frightening demons, and so beguiled from the first five the larger share of their wealth. "In this land of factories, while tho many are confined to mean streets and wretched houses, possessing no sufficiency of baths mid clean clothing, and are illfed, they work all day long, not to fashion for themselves better houses and clothing, but to make those unnecessnries such as 'the fluff' of women's apparel, and a thousand trifles which relieve tho monotony of tho idle ami bcnuiso their own minds."
