FOR THE FAIR SEX. 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. —Scientific A merican. Words ol Wisdom. The only way to shine, even in this fair world, is to be modest and unas suming. Falsehood may be a thick crust; but, in the course of time, truth will find a place to break through. Elegance of language may not be in the power of us all; but simplicity and straightforwardness are. We should do many more things i we believed in impossibilities. To achieve the greatest results the man must die to himself, must cease to exist in his own thoughts. Not until he has done this doe3 he bogin to do aught that is great. The firefly only shines when on the wing. So it is with tho mind; when once we rest we darken. You may shrink from the far-reaching solitudes ol your heart, but no other foot than yours can tread them. The time for reasoning is before we have approached near enough to the forbidden fruit to look at it and ad mire. The word “ matinee ” is applied by the French to that part of the day from sunrise till noon. At one time, it was fashionable to give morning entertain ments, which were called “ matinees,” aud when the time was changed to after noon the name continued to be used. 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. A Danville paper tells of a man who fainted dead away while being measured for a suit of clothes. It was not so muoh on account of the novelty of the thing as the fact that in- happened to glance up at the back end if the store and saw tho legend “No Trust." Clothing dealers should have more regard for tho health of their cus tomers. Thodi’eary sign ' TermsCash” lias prostrated many a fair and “ prom ising” youth.—Norristown Hsrnld.

By some mistake a horse was hitched to an apple tree near eighty hives of bees, in Hunt county, Texas, lately, and the tees became enraged and attacked the horse, stinging it so badly that it died in a few hours.
