Women In Professions.
There must, always be some services
that it will seem impossible to a wom¬
an to cease rendering. And here It is
that the hardest battle of the head
and heart really begins. Some of these
services are dear because they give
pleasure to the server, some because
they give comfort to the served. It
is not easy to turn from either. It is
not easy, women are apt to think with
some bitterness, to be a professional
woman at all says Harper’s Bazaar.
And now again tbe bead must be
heeded. If yon have honestly decided
that as a duty to your talents or to ex¬
pediency or to some other good profes¬
sion, the way to begin is not with weak
lamentations and comparisons of sex.
One great reason for our thinking of
man's path as so much easier in his
professional career is because sacrifice
to gain an end has become so a matter
of course in the lives of men that we
take their efforts as no sacrifice at all.
It is not always as easy as it looks for
a man to leave the bedside of a sick
child, the hearth of an ailing wife or
even the happy sitting-room and the
bright chatter of those he loves to go
to a work tl>;u sternly calls him.
A mother who was visiting her son
after a long separation complained to
him with feeling that lie had not spent
a single entire day with her since her
coming, which was wholly io see him.
“Tell your firm you haven't seen
your mother for five years/’ she urged.
“They will give you a day off, surely.”
The sou was a loving, filial son, but
his hair fairly rose on liis head at the
Idea.
“Why, mother! You don't know
jvhat work is. They’d give me the day
fast enough, and then get a man who
hadn’t any mother.”
According to a table prepared for
the London Statistical Society, the
proportion of the trade of the world
carried by British ships is as follows:
Russia, 54.4 per cent.; France, 45.6 per
cent.; United States, 56.1 per Cent.;
Holland, 53.4 per cent., and Germany,
35.5 per cent.

The Cost of Babor.
I have often heard it said that, as
to the subject you were read¬
ing about, American wages were the
highest or the lowest in the world.
This is literally true. They are at
once the highest and the lowest. We
have not as a people begun to realize
until recently the full truth and mean¬
ing of the economic axiom that the
cost of labor is to be measured not by
the wages paid, but by the value of
the product. We may pay much
higher wages than any country of Eu¬
rope, because by superior machinery
and more highly trained skill In man¬
aging it one of our workmen can turn
out a better product and a good deal
more of it in a day. Last year, when
a Philadelphia iron firm underbid
British manufacturers for the supply
of 1,000 tons of Iron piping to the city
of Glasgow, it was surmised by Glas¬
gow’s astounded city council that the
Philadelphia firm was paying smaller
wages to its workmen. It was found
that higher wages were paid to the
American workmen, who, however,
produced, per man in the same time,
over 25 per cent more piping than the
British. The Americans could sell
their product In Glasgow, 3,000 miles
away, at the smaller price. Mr. Jeans,
secretary of the British Iron Trade
association, said recently that the
labor cost of making a ton of billets
and rails In America Is now from 25
to 35 per cent less than in Great Brit¬
ain. Operatives making a certain
grade of shoes in Massachusetts re¬
ceive three times tbe wages of Ger¬
man operatives, but our shoemaking
machinery has reduced the cost of the
American product to 40 cents a pair,
while the same grade of shoes made in
Germany costs 58 cents a pair. This
country is competing successfully with
the rest of the world, not by demand¬
ing from its workmen twelve hours
labor at meager wages, but by using
well-paid labor and the best machin¬
ery to improve the quality and in¬
crease the quantity of its products.
We are increasing the economy of
labor without reducing the wages of
the artisan.
Now I. the Time to Act,
Business is improving in the United.
States. Industrial dq iopment is the
order of the day, Ai now, I would
strongly urge, is the time to perfect
and strengthen organization where it
exists, and establish it where it is not
found.
Bitter experience has taught that lt
is folly to try to organize and prefer
demands for shorter hours or greater
pay on a falling industrial market. Yet
that same old experiment has been
tried over and over, and always with
the same result. Now is the time to
do something substantia] for your3elf.
I read that here and there wages are
going up—railroads, large iron plants,
big manufaotories of various other
kinds, all are raising wages and short¬
ening hours—and nowhere does it ap¬
pear, except in the coal industry, that
there are any general decreases threat¬
ened, Now Is the time to organize.
Now is the time to gain the knowledge
that comes from united action, to win
the concessions employers can afford
to make. The more you gain now,
the less you will have to surrender
when the next slump comes. Many of
us have become used to disregarding
organization until the slump came.
Then lt was too late. Let us all push
organization this spring as it never
was pushed before. There is promise
of a brilliant advance all along the
line, if we hut stand together and
march forward shoulder to shoulder
to the tune of “more pay and shorter
hours.”
Child Labor.
In a report to the state department,
Commercial Agent Stern at Bamberg,
says it appears from the publications
of the imperial office for statistics that
the extraordinary development of
German industry during the last few
years has brought about a consider¬
able increase of female labor, as well
as an increased employment of chil¬
dren, both in factories and in house
industries, says the Frankfort Ga¬
zette.
According to the census of 1895 there
were 1,044,962 females employed in in¬
dustrial enterprises in Germany, of
whom 140,840 were married. The total
number of women employed in 1882
was only 583,830.
The reports of the factory inspectors
commissioned by the imperial govern¬
ment show that, especially within the
last few years, German female work¬
ers have forced their way into spheres
of labor which up till then had been
reserved to males. Thus it was ob¬
served last year for the first time that
young girls are not infrequently em¬
ployed in establishments for the man¬
ufacture of glass instruments, where
formerly males were exclusively em¬
ployed. The desire to reduce the cost
of production leads to an increase of
female labor.
Still worse is the chapter on infant
labor in Germany. The German law
of 1891 for the protection of artisans
caused a material reduction of infant
labor. Since then lt has increased
again.
The little ones are, for the most
part, employed in the so-called house
industries—viz., winding yarn, mak¬
ing baskets, threading needles, making
cigars, etc. It is stated officially that
In the Voightland (Saxony) children
down to the age of 5 and 6 years are
employed in the “flat-stitch trade,”
which is carried on in that part of
the country, and the products of which
are brought to the American markets
in large quantities. These children
earn about 2 1 A. cents an hour, working
from eight to ten hours a day.
There can be no doubt, says Mr.
Stern, that the physical and mental
development of the children is ma¬
terially handicapped by this kind of
employment, and that most regretta¬
ble sacrifices of human life arc made
to the victorious German industries.
Tne Ascent of Woman.
In an article in “The Young
Woman” for February on “The Ascent
of Woman,” we are told that whereas
the census taken six years before the
queen came to the throne contained
no occupations for women except do¬
mestic service, there were at the date
of the last census 61,000 women dress¬
makers, 70,000 employed in public
houses, 4,500 in printing establish¬
ments and 4,721 in mines! Even the
postofflee, hedged about with red-tape
ism as it is, has nearly 30,000 women as
clerks, telegraphists, sorters, etc., and
there are included in these figures no
fewer than 160 head-postmistresses
and 5,250 sub-postmistresses. Where
there was one lady clerk in 1871, there
are now four, and—to take two indus¬
tries only—there are now 121 women
per 100 men in the tobacco industry, as
against 42 per 100 In 1871; while in
hemp and jute the women workers
have increased from 67 per 100 men to
195 per 100. There are throughout the
kingdom nearly 130,000 women en¬
gaged in teaching, almost three times
the number of men, and 200 women
have worked their way into govern¬
ment departments as typists. It is sig¬
nificant of the part woman now plays
in our commercial life that there were
in a recent year 758 women bankrupts,
whose aggregate liabilities amounted
to £316,000.
What Thick Lips Mean.
Dr. A. Bloch, the French anthropolo¬
gist, attacks the theory that thick lips
are a denotement of sensuality, while
thin and delicate lips denote spiritual¬
ity, firmness and elevated character.
In a recent paper the scientist claims
that the shape, size and color of the
lips are purely race characteristics,
and that in the hybrid people of Europe
and America, where there has been
such a general intermingling of races,
a child may well inherit from not very
remote ancestors lip forms that com¬
pletely belle the actual character of
the child, as Indicated by tho lip
theory. Dr. Bloch's investigations sat¬
isfy him that really thick lips in the
white races are- always anomalies or
freaks of nature.
THE LATEST CRAZE.
When a roan goes wildly rushing
Up and down the crowded street,
And his face looks sad and troubled,
And his clothes no more are neat,
You can bet he’s got the fever
One just now Is apt to meet;
And he’s putting ail his money
Into copper, pork or wheat.
When a gay man seems in troublo
And smiles seldom light his face;
When with syllables lie greets you,
And ho seems quite out of place;
Whouhls head is bowed in sorrow,
And be wants to seek retreat,
You oan bet lie’s lost somo money
In copper, pork or wheat.
When you meet a man that’s happy,
And he takes you by the hand;
Who talks to you in confidence,
And gives you to understand
That the game he now is playing
Is one that can’t be beat—
You oan bet that man’s made money
Out of copper, pork or wheat.

-Fun For the Shah.
In the London World there is a
story about the late Shah of Persia.
It appears that during the winter

seventy English people at Teheran
organize concerts for one another’s
amusement; there is a dance now and
then at the Legation, Englishman and on Christ¬
mas night eveay in the
place is a guest of Sir Mortimer and
Lady Durand. When the weather is
cojd, of course, there is skating.
Skating is the greatest marvel of all
to the Persians. A few* years ago the
late Shah, Nasr-i-Din, ourliing saw twenty
skaters twirling and and spin¬
ning gacefully on the lice. He was
amused; he thought it wonderful.
The next day he sent to the Legation
and borrowed a dozen pairs of the
skates. These he made his Ministers
put on and attempt to .skate on tbe
lake in the palace groundfa. discomfited, The poor
Ministers were terribly
but it was twice as much as their
heads were worth to refuso. His Ma¬
jesty was more amused than ewer, and

BUFFALO BILL’S HUNTING.
H5s Remarkable Exploit YVitfi an Outfit
That Excited Derision.
A lively little story of hunting is told
by Buffalo Bill, A herd had been
sighted from camp, and the famous
ranger at once jumped on liis horse in
quest of fresh meat, of which he and
his companions were in great
need.
“While I was riding toward the buf¬
faloes, I saw five horsemen from the
fort, who were evidently going out for
a chase. They proved to be newly ar¬
rived officers—a captain and his lieu¬
tenants. ‘Hello, my l’rieud,’ sang out
tlie captain, ‘I see that you are after
the same game that we are!’ ‘Yes, sir,’
sam I.
“They scanned my cheap opt fit very
closely, and, as my horse looked like
a work horse, ana bad on only a blind
bridle, they evidently considered me
a green hand at hunting. ‘Do you ex¬
pect to catch these buffaloes on that
Gothic steed?’ laughed the captain. ‘I
tiope so by pushing hard enough on the
reins,’ was my reply, ‘You’ll never
catch them in the world, my fine fel¬
low!’ said he. ‘It takes a fast horse
to do that.’ ‘Does it?’ asked I, as if I
didn’t know. ‘Yes; but come along
with us, for we are going to kill them
more for pleasure than anything else.
All we want are the tongues and a
piece of tenderloin, aud you may have
all that is left.’ Tm much obliged to
you, captain,’ said I, carelessly. ‘I’ll
follow you.’
“There were 11 buffaloes in the herd,
and they were not more than a mile
ahead. I saw they were making to
ward the creek for ubtciy and I start¬
ed up that way to head them off,
while the officers came up in the rear
aud gave chase. The animals came
rushing past me, not 100 yards dis¬
tant, witli the officers 300 yards in the
rear. I pulled the blind bridle off my
horse, and he, a trained hunter, knew
exactly what to do. He started at
the top of liis speed and brought me
alongside the rear buffalo. I raised
my gun, fired, and killed the animal at
the first shot. My horse then carried
me alongside the next one, and I
dropped him at the next fire. Thus I
killed the 11 buffaloes with 12 shots,
and, as the last animal dropped, my
horse stopped. Remember, I had been
riding him without bridle, reins or sad¬
dle; but I jumped to the ground, know¬
ing he would not leave me.
"The astonished officers were just
riding up. ‘Now, gentlemen,’ said I,
allow me to present you with all the
tongues and tenderloins you want.’
‘Well,’ said the captain, ‘I never saw
the like before! Who under the sun
a-re you, anyhow?’ ‘My name is Cody.’
That horse of yours certainly lias
running points!’ ‘Yes, sir; you’re right;
he has not only the points, but he
knows how to use them.’ ‘So I no¬

Duane Doty has compiled a number
of facts about railroads which are well
worthy of study. He says that while
in 1830 there were just twenty-two
miles of railroad in this country, there'
are now 244.500 miles, including 58,
000 miles of yard tracks, sidings atid
turnouts. At tlie average value of
800,000 per mile, the 186,500 miles of
traveling trackage are worth §11,191,
000,000. It is estimated that ou„e-sev
entii of the wealth of tlw United States
is represented by the railroads. These
roads give employment to 850,000 per¬
sons. There are 450 employes to
every 100 miles of road, and the total
salaries paid show an average to each
employe of §505 per annum. During
the past year the railroads carried
550,000,000 passengers, for which they
received §275,000,000. The roads had
to carry a passenger 500 miles to earn
$1. The net earnings of the road for
tlie year were a little more than §1,
000,000 a day. The statistics of the
rolling stock contain some valuable
figures. There are 1,325,000 cars of all
kinds in use. Independently of the
requirements of new roads and the
natural increase of freight business,
100,000, new freight ears are needed
every year to replace those worn out.
A future of the annual report on the
Ontario asylums for tlie insane is the
statement by several superintendents
and physicians that while the number
of patients in the asylums is increas¬
ing, insanity is really deereasing, the
increase in patients being due to tlie
fact that the’incarceration of lunatics
is becoming more and more tlie cus¬
tom. Another feature is the statement
that the percentage of cures is in¬
creased, being 33.04 for 1898, as com¬
pared with 28.6c 24.79 in 1897,and an ave¬
rage of for eight years.
