TALKING OF MEN—

A rather acrimonious correspondence has been appearing in an English daily paper on the comparative merits or demerits of men and women. An extract from the letter of a femi - nine contributor her “rich anger shows”: - • • Men stand self-revealed as the born and natural hewers of wood and drawers of water to the universe. It has been laid upon them to the world comfortable for women They do it with marked success until they take upon themselves, in their vain-glorious way. to do the administration also, for which they are so totally unfit. Ingratitude is unkindly—even to a slave. That men are often very stupid is undeniable, but their total incapacity for administration is a new idea to me. I had rather fancied that men’s clubs, men’s unions. men’s dressmaking establishments, and quite a number of other things, apart from such little trifles as States, churches, armies, colossal newspapers, and such like, in which men have a monopoly, were as efficiently run. as those in which women were in charge.
