W0men's Work.

In the great labor contest that Is ALWAYS
going on, woman enters az a disadvantage
ana that disadvantage continues through
out. The avenues of employment arr
closed against her merely because She Is a
woman and when she does find employ.
ment 1t Is generally at beggarly wages.
Tue man who cleans the cutters can com.
mand better wages than women of intelH.
gence and ability can obtain. There are
hundreds OF ONE and girls IN our cities
who are forced 10 work for "A living In the
East. Very frequently they are Of more
than ordinary education and intelligence
yet they can rarely make IL avail them. n
Is not. after all, TO be greatly wondered Al
that so many young women fall by the
wayside. Their position Is one of grea,
danger, and only the possession of sound
moral principles can carry them through
with safety. They have to fight single.
handed a host OF foes. There is a preiu.
dice against employing them in position,
for which they are best fitted. They are
paid much less wages than men. but their
board bills are just as high. They must
dress at least deccntly, and that cannot he
done without money. They are compel
led TO live i'm more expensive places than
men, because a man can live any where
without affecting his reputation, whilsta
IN has 10 exercise the greatest discre-
ton in this respect. So OF employment:
a man can do any thing on push without
hurting his future, but for a woman to DO
certain work, though ii be honest work

ture prospect. At every step she i sur
rounded by temptations to exchange her
life OF weary work and worry for one. the
dazzle of which in the present perhaps
hides the certain misery which lies In the
future. When to all this is added the fact
that masculine labor is organizing in sone
quarters to elbow women out of the labor
field entirely. and that a large class OF NO
men, less intelligent and refined than the
working women themselves, regards con
temptuously the woman who ''work.
for her living" The way of the girl who
seeks TO maintain herself by the labor OF
hands or brain, rather than eat the bread
of dependence or shame, is sufficiently
hard.-Ezchange.

Making Practical Use Of the Weather
Predictions.

The Akron (Ohio) Argus says: We have
incidentally heard a little practical testi-
mony in favor of the value Of the Signal
Service Bureau from towns on the Ashta-
bula. Youngstown &Pittsburgh Railway.
During the whole winter they have regu-
lated their force according TO Old Prob.'s
predictions, and up to a recent date these
predictions had always been fulfilled and
not a single d-isarrangement of their time
table had occurred this winter. At one
time, when a scveres storm was announced,
they placed fifteen additional men on the
road. The storm came as advertised but
found them prepared for il. and no delays
or dangers were neccssitated. OF course,
the line Is a short one, but such testimony
in addition 10 all that has been given be-
fore. Is a strong argument against the wan
ton discontinuance Of what has proved so
great a public blessing.

A day or two since a young fellow,
somewhat vagrant in appearance, called
upon one of our leading citizens for a job
Of work OF some kind. He said he didn't
care much what the job might be, so long
as IL brought him the price of breakfast.
The citizen told the fellow that he had no
work himself that he wanted done but he
thought he could get him a job at wood
saving. AS the two started to look for
the job, the young man said "Now,
look here; If you have got a half-dollar to
give me you can save yourself the trouble
of going TO look for the job. Then. too,
will be sure of getting my breakfast

IL Is very hard for boys and girls between

pie tell them concerning the selection of

their faces burn with passionate sympathy
