Female Labor.—The question of female labor is one of much importance. While some societies have enjoyed immunity from this evil, other have had, and some still have, the matter seriously before them. Female labor means nothing more than cheap labor, and all societies are enjoined to look upon it in this light, and set their faces steadily against it.
