Women Worker*.
The Massachusetts industrial census
has brought to light some interesting
acts about women who^workin that
State, _where there are nearly 70,000
more women than men. Over half a
million women in Massachusetts earn
their own living and help to support
others: 10.295 are in professions. Of
hese, 9,5S1 are school and music
teachers nnd musicians, 3.16 are “nuthors
and literary persons.” while there are
164 women doctors; 50,000 work in fac
tories, shoe factories, cotton, woolen,
linen, carpet and paper mills, etc.
There are over 24,000 sewing women
and milliners. Compared with 1860
women’s wages in all kinds of work has
increased. Managers of dressmaking
establishments average $12.19 per week;
women under them $7.12 per week.
Milliners get from $7 to $10 per week.
Some 700 women are employed in the
printing industry,mostly as compositors,
and perform work for $7 to $11 per week
that men ask and receive $20 to $25 per
week for doing. They are in all the gov
ernment departments, city, state and
national, even to the police and paying
and lighting departments. Not many
of them are in business for’ithemselvcs
however. They work for wages; 105of
them are bookkeepers, 94 arc engaged in
the manufacture of machineiy, and 42
work at glass making. There 'are ten
florists. One woman enrns her living
by catching iish. Innumerable branches
of manufacture, other than those men
tioned employ women-leather work,
rubber goods, the making of brushes,
balls, - buttons, coflins, carriage trim-
ming, jewelry, etc. There is hardly any
manufacturing in which they do no not
take part in fact, in one capacity or
another.
Autumn .ml winter 4Vr.pi.
The cloths for autumn and winter
wraps are made with figured or rougli
surfnees rattier than witli the smooth
lustrous finish of broadcloth. They are
of unusual thickness, yet soft and fioxi-
blo; and as colored threads in cheviot
effects are introduced, it is more than
ever necessary that they be pure wool,
or else they wiil not bo serviceable. For
plain wraps the choice lies botween the
serviceable dingonal cloths ;with inside
fleece, or else the loosely woven yet
limvy ciicviots. For dressy sacks for
young ladies the coachman’s drab
shades are much used, though the nov
elty introduced by Pingat, who is the
leading Parisian designer of cloaks, is
for basket-woven cloths combining as
many colors as are foundlin the bourette
cloths worn two yonrs ago. Seal brown
or black dingonal cloths are chosen fer
serviceable plain cloaks, while the
cheviot cheeks, irregular plaids, or
mixed surtnccs are used for jaunty coats
for general wear, |and for the useful
ulsters that are by no means confined to
traveling wraps, but serve often for
shopping and instead of waterproof gar
ments . Larger plaids are for mantlos
in the McGregor style, though these are
often fanciful Madras plaids instead of
those of the Scottish tartans. Another
novelty is the ropped cloth* like empress
cloth, with half an inch of long warm
fleece on the inside; this is used for the
long rich cloaks with plush or fur bor
ders.
Abovo nil else plush Is the favorite
trimming, especially for masculino-
shuped jackets that inert ly require a
collar, culls and pockets. The hood,
whicli is added to many jackets, should
bo arranged to button on, so that it need
not always be worn. A lining of plush
or of some striped or spotted Surah satin
is seen in most hoods. There is a fancy
for single-breasted jackets, and for those
without the skirt piece sewed across the
hips,yet many skirted coats with double-
breasted fronts are worn. What is called
the Jersey coat dispenses witli collar,
cufTs and the double fronts, and is made
to fit as closely as possible; even the
pockets are without ilaps, and are set
underneath the fronts, with a diagonal
opening bound on each edge. Rows oi
buttons set on the seams are the only
ornaments. These 'are for very young
ladies, and are shown in gray and blue
cloths for $13 60. The gpnuinc Jersey
webbing, of which the Jersey waists
are made, is made up into more ex
pensive jackets for autumn wear, but
there is no attempt to give the close
Jersey effect to these garments. They
arc simply English double-breasted
jackets, of dark blue, brown, black
or plum-colored, and are piped on
the edges with satin of the same
shade. Large pearl or metal but
tons are their only trimming. Well-
made jackets of cheviot cloths with
plush cloths and collars cost from $12
to $25 each. These are of the stylish
medium length, not long enough to
conceal the drapery of short costumes,
nor so short as to look scanty in the
presence of longer garments. One of
the newest caprices is that of adding a
short pelerine cape to jackets. To give
a stylish effect this cape must be cut off'
straight across the back-not rounded—
and must cling closely to the shoulders,
reaching just below the armholes. This
is shown on the Charlotte Corday coats
that fit like.sacks, and also on the long
loose cloaks with full-gathered sleeves
Mantle shapes, or those with dolman
effects, are considered more stylish but
less youthful than the jaunty coats, and
are mostly chosen by older ladies.
There is a fancy, however, for military-
looking mantles with double capes in
front for young ladies, and even for
schoolgirls. Some of these are tri mmed
with gilt or silver braid, and are made
of blue cloth, but black braid, rows of
stitching, or else the Havelock plaiting
are better trimmings. The monk’s cloaks
are also unique garments in favor with
young ladies. They are loose and long,
■with gathered sleeves and a gathered
hood, and sometimes little capes ar
added.
In place of the belted ulster that was
so generally unbecoming, there are now
various gracefully-shaped long cloaks
ma.de of the English cheviot cloths of
quiet colors. The English driving cloak
is an excellent “ over-all” wrap of this
kind; it has a circular back fitted and
shaped by seams,) square] sleeves in a
loose front, and a pointed hood. This
is made of cloth of mixed colors, with
brocaded lining for the hood, and costs
$35. Others of much less expensive
c otlis are shown with double-breasted
fronts cut off across the liipB and length
ened like a polonaise. Another style
has a cape that may be buttoned up to
form a hood, while still another has
kilt-plaiting at the back and double
capes, while most picturesque of all is
the monk’s ulster, with a cowl, cape
and rope-like cords and tassels.
The stately long cloaks of brocades
satin de Lyon, Sicilienne, velvet, and
plush are chosen for dressy wraps, and
rival the richest fur dolmans in their
costliness. Black is the favorite color
tor these garments, with satin or plush
linings of red, old gold, ecru or lavender
shades. The elaborate passementeries
that are banished from cloth wraps are
seen here in .prolusion, nnd these, with
the hoavy linings, make the great cloaks
something iormidebln in weight. The
plain satin de Lyon of these cloaks is
often shirred heavily down the middle
of the back, or else around the neck and
the full sleeves. The brocaded velvets
or the figured satins are of course kept
smooth and plain, and it is in these
garments that the large figured bro
cades are found most effective; feather
patterns, tulips, lilies of natural size,
dahlias, nnd peonies, with each flower
separate, are preferred to the close mate-
lasse figures and Persian designs form
erly used. When wool goods are used
for suoh cloaks, the India camel’s-liair
is preferred, as it iselingine and pliable,
while lor mixtures are the repped
Siciliennes. Occasionally a plush cloak
is shown in brown or gray mottled
shades; but black plush does not rival
velvet in beauty, and, like satin, it is
used to best effect in small quantities for
borders, collars and cuffs. For lus
trous garments the heavy satin Surah
(merveilleux) or else satin de Lyon is
preferred to plain satin. The beaded
trimmings rival plush borders in popu
larity, and have even made their np-
ponranco on sealskin cloaks, though
they seem incongruous, as they conceal
the beauty of the deep pile of the fur,
and make the weigtit too great for com
fort. A small soft muff in bag shape iB
made to match many of the richest
cloaks.—Harper's Bazar.
liaising a Crop of Now Hair.
It was one of the by-laws of Heart
ache’s Heavenly Hair Raiser that it bo
used liberally before retiring, rubbing it
well into the scalp. Just before he went
to bed that night tho man bolted the
back door, put tho eat in tho wood
shed, eamo in whistling tho “ Fatinitza"
waltz, danced up to tho clock-shelf and
pouring out a handful of what he sup
posed to bo his fertilizer, ho mopped if
all over his scalp and stirred it well in
around the roots of she little bodge oi
hair nt the back of his neck.
The glue bottle, by an unearthly coin
eidonce, was nearly the snme£shnpc and
size as tho hairsap bottle.
He went to bed.
“ George.” said his wife, turning her
face to the wall, “that stuff you put on
ycur hair smells like a pan of soap-
greaso.”
“Perhaps I had better go upstairs
and sleep," snarlod George. “You’re
mighty sensitive! You wouldn’t ex
pect that a man can put stuff on his
head that will mak his liair grow and
make it smell Use essence of winter-
green, would you?” They went to bod
mad as Turks.
This particular bald-headed man, like
a good many other bald-headed men,
had to get up and build tho fires!
When he arose next morning the sun
peeped in at the window and saw the
pillow cling to tho back of his head like
a great white chignon. At first he did
not realize his condition; lie thought
it must have caught, on a pin or shirt
button. It looked ridiculous, and he
would throw it back on ttio bed before
his wife saw it, so be caught it quickly
by one end and “ yanked.”
"Oh! oil! What’s been goin’ on
here!” aud he began to claw at his scalp
like a luuatie. Ilia wife sprang up from
her couch and began to sob hysterically.
“Oh, don’t, George! What is it?
What’s the matter?”
George was dancing about the room,
the pillow now dangling by a few hairs,
liis scalp covered with something that
looked like sheet copper, while the air
was redolent of warlike expletives, as it
a dictionary had exploded. With &
woman's instinct the poor wifo took in
the situation nt a glance, and explained:
“It is the glue!”
The bald-heuded man sat down in a
chair and looked at her a moment in
contemptuous silence, and then uttered
the one expressive word:
“Glue!”
Now began a series of processes and
experiments, unheard of in the annals
of chemistry.
“Jane, you must soax it off with warm
water. I’ve got to go to Utica to-day.’’
“I can’t George," she returned, in a
guilty tone; “it’s waterproof.”
“Yea; I might have known it; and I
s’pose it’s fireproof, too, ain’t itP"
He scratches over the smooth plating
with his finger nails.
“It’s hard as iron,” he said.
“ Yes—he said it was good glue,” re
plied she, innocently. “Can’t you skin
it off with your razor, GeorgeP”
“Don’t be a bigger fool than you are,
Jane. Get me that coarse file on the
woodshed.”
It may be imagined what followed,
and now as the bald-headed man sits
in his office, he never removes his hat,
for his entire skull is a howling waste of
blistered desert, relieved here and there
by oases of black court plaster.—Syra
cuse Times.
The Dangerous Hare.
Some one was telling a story of a lion
hunt in Offenbach’s presence—a story in
which, evidently, he took but little
interest.
“ Bah!” he said, atlsst, with a yawn;
“ the lion is a much overrated beast.
Even the timid hare can, on occasion, be
formidable to man.”
“ Oh, come, now!”said every one.
“ Yes, I mean what I say,” replied
Offenbach; “when one has eaten too
much of him.”
Fishiig on the Amazon.
Much attention has lately been given
to the wonders o' the grrut river Ama
zon, or “the Atunsins,” as tho people
there call it. Its whole valley abounds
in streams that help to make up the en
tire volume ol waters. These spread out
into lakes, lagoons and swamps, that
extend over large regions of country.
This is especially so in the raiay seasons
or flood limes.
The channels and lakes arc abundantly
supplied witli fishes. Even large fishes
are often left in the swamp lakes and
streams when the water is low. A
hundred different kinds of fish can be
bought in the markets of Rio, many of
whicli come from the Amazon.
Those mist valued are “piranhas”
and " pirarucus.” They are the largest,
while there are numerous smaller va
rieties. The Indians catch tho latter
with hooks and lines or shoot them with
arrows. But tho larger fish are speared
with a kind of trident. The men nnd
even small boys acquire groat skill in
the use of theso implements.
In tho summer moatbs the people
come by hundreds to the lnkes and
channels to fish for the great “pirarucu,”
and to prepare the fish much as codfish
is prepared by tho northern fishermen.
Some of these fish are seven or eight feet
in length. They are first'drossed and
cut into wide thin slices. These are
well rubbed with salland hungon polos
to dry in the sun. The slices are tnken
under cover every night nnd carried out
again in the morning. Tho stranger
does not at once relish this dried fish,
yet it is the standard flesh food of all
the poorer classes throughout a jarge
partof Brazil. Puringthc fishing season
tho people build and livo in little huts
along the shores. Traders, in canoes,
come with a stock of cheap wares to
barter for the fish. Thus a trading com
munity is formed, whicli breaks up with
the January floods. The "piranhas”
are much prized nnd arc easily caught,
from a bit of salt moat to <i bather’s toe.
Boys thrash tho water with polos to at
tract tlieso fishes.
The Tupi word “piranha” is a con
traction of “ pira sninha,” meaning
“ toothed fish." The same word is used
by tho Indians to describe a pair of
scissors. Thero are several species oi
these savago “piranhas," somo being
more than two feet long. They think
nothing of biting an ounce or so of flesh
from a man’s lug. People are sometimes
killed by them. Ilenoo Brazilians arc
shy of going into these lakes and streams
if they suspect the presence of these fish.
The fishermen claim that “piranhas”
will gather in schools again t the larger
fish and attack them. If one of their
number is at all wounded by mistake lie
is mercilessly set upon and devoured by
his companions.
It is useless to try to use nets where
this fish is found. They would spoil a
net in a few minutes.
Another dnngcrous fish of these
waters is the “ sting-ray.” He lies (lit
on ttie bottom, tils dark upper surface
being hardly seen through the muddy
streams. If left undisturbed the creature
is harmless enough. But a careless
wader in the shallows may step on the
flat body, and then the great barbed
sting infliots a wound that benumbs the
whole body and makes the sufferer
speechless witli pain Persons have
been lamed for life by such a wound.
A curious fish called “ Anableps tc-
trophthalmus " is often seen there. Its
eyes are divided, so that each lias two
pupils; of these the upper pair arc fot
tho air and the lower for the water.
This singular fish swims near the sur
face nnd near the shore, and if clm9cd
does not divo.
A large flat fish named “ carunna” is
mostly taken at night. Men go out in
boats with lighted torches and spenrthe
fish witli great skill and rapidity.
It is said you may often see a native
with his bow and arrow standing like
a statue on somo overhanging bank
watching for a fish to pass. When a
fish comes near the bow is drawn quick
as light, and the arrow hardly leaves a
ripple as it cuts through the water. It
requires the keenest skill to obtain fish
by this means, nnd the fisliermnn must
also allow for the refraction of the water,
or he will certainly miss his mark. Yet
many of the large “piranhas ” are pro
cured in this way. Good fishing de
pends, first, upon the flooding of the
river, which tills all the valley lakes nnd
olunnels with water and entices the fish
out of the greater streams; then,
second, such a falling of the floods ns
leaves manv of these channels and lakes
separated from the river. Thus the fish
are imprisoned in shoal water and nar
row qunrters and more easily taken.
Otherwise Ifie present contrivances for
procuring good fish by these native
fishermen would be entirely inadequate.

The Battle of the Elks.
A New York Herald eorrrespondent
accompanied General Crook and several
other gentlemen on n hunting rxoursh n
in Wyoming Territory. The results of
tho hunt as a whole are best summed
up by the following “bag of game,”
much cf which wns brought through to
Omahannd points beyond: Four bears,
eighteen buck elk, with magnificent
antlers; sixteen mule deer, ten ante
lopes, grouse and sage hens without
number. This passage from the corre
spondent’s letter will bo found interest
ing reading:
At General Crook’s suggestion it was
decided that owing to the abundance o
the game, a fact amply proved, the
party should only kill such quantities ns
could bo eaten or transported to their
friends, and not leave it to lie or rot on
the plains, as i9 frequently the case
when game is abundant. As a result of
tiiis determination not a single cow or
calf was numbered among the elg killed
by the party.
When it is known that in tho moun
tains or on the plains tho hunter was
frequently within 150 or 200 yards from
herds of elk, numbering from fifty to
500, the wisdom of Goneral Crook’s sug
gestion is seen. The habits of the elk
have thus far been little known, but it
was the fortune of members of our party,
both on tho initial day of the hunt and
later, to remain concealed for hours in
tiie neighborhood of and occasionally
almost in the midst of large herds of
these animals, with which the moun
tains were thronged.
It was discovered that each l ord of
elks was controlled by a fow bucks,
which proved to be those animals able
to maintain the mastery over all tho
other bucks. Tho proportion of large
horned bucks wns small, perhaps one to
every twenty-five animals, but there
are frequently four or five bucks seen in
a herd of this number, the question of
superiority not having been settled.
Such instances, however, were always
accompanied by terrific fights between
the bucks for the mastery, in whicli not
unfrequently large pieces were broken
off their magnitioent antlers, and in one
instance we found a buck whom con
tinued fights had left with but one soli
tary stump as an apology for a horn,
but this veteran was still game. Or.e
mfcmber of our party succeeded by per
sistent labor nnd caution on one occa
sion in approaching within two hundred
yards of a band of not less than one
hundred. Thero wero four bucks in the
band, three standing outside, not yet
willing to acknowledge defeat nnd leave
tho band, and yet whom the fourth had
evidently driven out. The conqueror
wandered proudly around through the
band, shaking his towering horns at the
outsiders as if to invite them to return
and renew tho combnt.
Finally one of tho tucks advanced and
a sight was witnessed which it is not
often the lot of a hunter, even in the fur
West, to witness. Tho two animals
came savngely together, their heads
striking with i loud report. There was
a looking of horns, several fierce plunges,
a terrific strugglo which lasted for some
minutes, the outsider being again van
quished and driven out, several tips
having been broken off his horns The
defeated buck was completely exhausted,
his tongue protruding and his head
down, and withdrawing to n point 300
yards from the band he laid down. The
watching sportsman decided at once
that the broken antlers of the defeated
buck would form an interesting trophy
and drawing a bead on tho animal he
shot him dend.
