THE POSITION OF WOMAN IN ENGLAND
There are In this country two and g. nalf
millions OF women over the age of twenty,
unmarried, who have to earn their own liv.
Ing. There are two hunnred and forty au-
thoresses and writers, nifty Thousand gov.
ernessee, one hundred thousand teachers and
actresses, and, In short, the half million sup
port themselves In various higher ways But
OF the other two millions who support them
selves BY working in factories and shops, q
large majority are kept on the very poorest
wages, and this not by their employers, but
By the workiDgmen and their trade unions
The workingmen Immediately give notice of
q strike II women are allowed equal wages,
or admitted to the more lucrative Kinds OF
labor. The women generally have the hard
est work IL the factories, and the most ILL.,
paid, at Bradford, Sheffield, Kidderminster,
Halifax, and indeed everywhere, SO far as
we have testimony. The employers protest
against this tpJus tice as much as the women,
but the workmen and their unions obsti-
nately pursue their unjust course. Until,
therefore, the laboring men learn more CON-
siderat1on for the burthens OF class weaker
than themselves, they can hardly complain
IL Others are apathetic to their own demands.

The Story OF u Chimney Tor.

Once there was man who had house, the
chimneys OF which were all loose and dilspi-
dated, from frost and rain, and wind and
smoke. They looked dirty and nearly ready
to tumble down. But one day he thought he
would have them fixed. It Is not known
what led him to this stroke of Improvement
but all at once some artistic mason was seen
remOdelling the chimney tops, and under
bis skillful direction they began to assume
lines OF wOndrous beauty-for so smoky a
thing as chimney top. People stopped to
look at them and admire the graceful and
appropriate lines into which the brick and
mortar bad been wrought, and when the
Stage had been removed, and the painted
chimney stood out in the really nne porpor-
tons, the man wondered at himself that he
had ever tolerated his old blackened, uneain-
ly chimney tops 50 long as he did. Then
another man in the same neigh borhood began
10 look at his chimneys, and he was SO
ashamed Of them he employed the same
cunning workman TO tear them down and
build better ones In their place. And SO the
reform went on, and almost every day the
bouses all around appeared out with new
chimney tops; all different, all artistic, ali
pretty. The neighborhood houses seemed
like so many we'll dressed ladies all out with
their new spring hats on! And what trans
formation from q community OF smoked
and battered chimneys-to one Of TRIM neat
and graceful ones. All the neighbOrs think
more OF themselves and their houses, the
competent mason has his hands full of work,
and the neighborhood generally has put on q
better look and q more decent appearance
All because one man was dissatfsfied with
an old Smoked chimney tOp!-(M Maine Hunaer.
