Her husband, the former sheriff, died a year ago, and Mrs. Stewart asked for the position, as she had no means of earning a living for herself and two little girls. The community sympathized with her, and she was allowed to take her husband’s placo. She resides in the jail but a few fret from where the cells are located. Her children are 8 and 10 years of age respectively, and are being educated by “S was Mrs. Stewart’s deputies make most of the arrests, but she has served several criminal warrants herself, and in all in¬ stances has taken her prisoners to the jail without difficulty, for people in this county know that she is an excellent pistol shot and always carries her re¬ volver with her. —Brooklyn Citizen. Does Woman Earn Her Keep? Thousands of women work in the mines of Belgium and England. In the first named country they former- lv worked from 13 to 16 hours a d a y t w ith no Sunday rest The linen £-'STiES sioner, are “in one branch of the in- ^^“0 “ 1 “ the time barefoot, with a spray of wa¬ ter from a revolving cylinder flying constantly against the breast, and the coldest night in winter as well as the warmest in summer these poor creatures must go to their homes with water dripping from their underclothing along their path because there could not be space of a few moments allowed them wherein to change their clothing.” Yet women are “exempted” from labor attended by hardship! Despite these washerwomen, miners and linen thread spinners, we are told “it is woman’s privilege generally to be exempted from the care of earning her livelihood and that of her offspring. ” It would seem to be time that this libel upon women should be scorned by fair minded men. From all antiquity the majority of women have been faith¬ ful workers, rendering a full equivalent in labor for their scanty share of the world’s goods. The origin of every in¬ dustry bears testimony to this. In our own era, while women were still home- keepers, did they not earn their liveli¬ hood? What was the weaving, the sew¬ ing, the cooking, the doctoring, the nursing, the child care, “the work that was never done,” if it was not earning a subsistence? Even in these days, when woman goes forth and receives the re¬ ward of her labor as publicly as man, she is no more worthy of her hire. Her ancestress—sweet and saintly soul—did not dream of recompense. But was it not her due, and shall we refuse to credit it because man was then a self sufficient ignoramus who deemed him- self the only one fit to acquire property? —Alice B. Tweedy in Popular Science Monthly. Slie Mas-nets. A respectably dressed, intelligent woman of middle age has been canvassing up town streets on the west side to get com¬ missions to do marketing for the house¬ keepers. “I find,” she said, “that there are many women in this town who are so busy with their social duties that they have no time to attend to their own mar¬ keting, and there are other women who have a great dislike for it. They say that the greatest bore in housekeeping is select¬ ing meats, because the choice is so limited. I now do all the marketing for several such women. They tell me how muoh they are willing to spend a week on butch¬ ers’ bills and give me a general idea of what meats they prefer. I go to tbe butoher’s every morning early and get the choice cuts. These women tell me that I have saved them some money and much bother. It does seem like rather a queer business, doesn’t it? But when I was thrown on my own resources I found that marketing was the only subjeot on which I had exact enough knowledge to teach others, and I am now supporting myself by it.”—New York Sun. Taxe an ordinary visiting card. One that is rather stiff is best for the purpose. Bend the ends so that you can stand it on a table. Then ask your friends to blow It over. They will find It almost impos¬ sible unless they know the trick. It consists in blowing sharply, but not too violently, on the table about an Inch from either end of the card.
