What Woman May Do.

"a young girl of fine, character and
sterling principles, of quick intelligence
and good general education, who has
been surrounded by refining influences,
wishes to become self-supporting. She
has no special talent, but may stand as a
type of the American girl with good
advantages She is willing to make
sacrifices and work hard to fit herself
for some definite occupation which she
may follow regularly as a means of sup
port, and in which she may have an
opportunity to rise through the legitimate
process of hard work. She recognizes
that teaching is Overstocked, and that
the popular art schools are not likely to
offer the chance she wants. She has a
vague ambition (and it is good one,
toO,) that she may possibly be one of
those who shall show that many more
occupations have right to be- classed as
genteel than has been popularity sup
posed, for she knows that the worker
ennobles the work. Will you tell us
through the Trtbune's columns some of
the kinds of work that this girl can begin
to prepare for, and something about the
special preparations reguiredp You may
be sure of a multitude of very grateful
readers"
To one familiar with the reports of our
last census the answer to this question
seems very easy. In all the departments
of labor mentioned below, and in at least
as many more not mentioned, women

Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Morning light revealed to us the me-
tropolis of the Northwest. We saw a
broad main street bordered with high
wooden sidewalks, and rows of shops Of
every shape and size. Some were rude
wooden shanties; others were fine build
ings of yellow brick. High over all tow
cred the handsome spire of the Knox
Church. Several saw and grist mills
sent up incessant puffs of white steam
into the clear air. The street was full of
hustle and life. There were wagons Of
all descriptions standing before the stores.
Long lines of Red River carts were load
ing with freight for the interior The
sidewalks were filled with miscellane-
Gus crowd of people: German peasants,
the women in dark blue gowns and head
kerchiefs, the men marked by Their little
flat caps; French half-breeds, with jaun-
ty buckskin jacket, many-colored scarfS
around their waists, and their black hair
shining with oil; Indians. dark, solemn,
gaunt, stalking along in blanket and
moccasins; Scotch and English people,
looking as they do all the world over, but
here, perhaps, little quicker and more
energetic. The middle of the street,
though there had been but a single night
of rain, was a vast eXpanse of mud-mud
SO tenacious that the wheels of the wag
ons driving through it were almost as
large as mill-wheels; and when we dared
to cross it, we came out on the other side
with much difficulty, and feet of elephan-
tine proportions.
The city of Winnipeg, which eight
years ago was nothing more than a clus-
ter of houses about the Hudson Bay Com
pany's fort, now contains over seven
thousand inhabitants. 1t is the distrib-
uting center for a large region, a place
of great business activity, and SO situated

are crammed to the brim-the seats are
filled, every berth taken, and men are
stretched out in the aisles as thick as
swine in cattle-cars. Every stage line
which enters in Leadville comes in
jammed, coach after coach, scores of
them each day, and hacks and other pri-
vate conveyances to the number of doz-
ems pour out their human contents which
they have gathered up at the various rail-
way termini within reach of the Lead
vile region.
Are these thousands who are daily
pouring into the Gunnison and Leadville
regions from the Eastern States-are
they mad? We shall see in the course
of this correspondence.
On the train from Emporia, on which
I took passage, the six coaches were
crammed to their utmost limit; in the
sleeper there were three passengers be-
side myself This little fact will afford
some Indication as to the amount OF cap
ital which was represented on the train.
During the five hundred miles which
divide Emporia from Pueblo, had OPP
portunity to cultivate the acquaintance
of many of those who filled the six
coaches. There was young fellow
from somewhere in Illinois who, in
company with a party of three others,
was bound to the Gunnison region. He
was a healthy-looking person of twenty
five, and from his conversation had evil

which, in no essential respect, differ
from dozen or twenty which had

"What are you going to do when you

"No, only understand farming"
''But do you know there is no farm

'No, l don't know much about it. ]

going out to look for some.''
Did you ever mine any; do you know
anything about prospecting, or anything
of the kindp''
"No, SIR
l found that the party of four had
their fare paid to the town of Gunnison,
and that the entire party had remaining
less than thirty dollars. They had no
blankets, food, mules, picks or outfits OF
any kind. They were going naked, as
it We're, to encounter the tremendous
hardships Of the unsympathizing mount
aims. Their faces were young, fresh;
their eyes eager and hopeful, and l
could not bear to overwhelm their hopes
by telling them the truth. And, be-
sides, it is doubtful that they would have
believed me, if I had told them.
And yet it is certain that untold suf-
fering cold, and disease, if
not death, awaits these four, and many
of the other thousands who are now rush
ing into the Gunnison country, as it is

To Prevent Wheat Smut.

Olmsted Flint, of Delaware County,
N. Y, tells the american Rural Home
how he prevents smut in wheat 'Take
washtub, fill it half full of water, put
in as much salt as will dissolve, then put
in the wheat, till it comes within two
inches of the top Of the brine. Stir the
wheat thoroughly, then skim off every
thing that rises to the top of the brine,
turn off the brine, then turn your wheat
into large box, or on the barn floor;
sprinkle on air-slaked stone lime and
stir with shovel till the wheat is all
coated with the lime; then you can put
on common land plaster, and stir the
same as You have the lime. 1t will pre-
vent the lime eating your hands when
sowing, and will be beneficial to the
wheat. Take the wheat to the field and
SOW it soon after it is prepared; if you do
not, some of the germs may be destroyed
by the lime" He has prepared his
wheat in that way for upwards of thirty
five years, and has had no trouble with
smut. He thinks the same application
would be equally good for oats, but
would not make the brine more than
half as strong as for wheat.

The other and most productive district is

barrels of crude petroleum. An extra
ordinary amount of sand flows out with

of the wells in banks at least thirty feet

The lighter branches of cabinet work are
specially suited to feminine skill and
strength, to which stair building might
be added. Upholstery in many of its
branches is a work which women
might do to advantage. And il
is simply surprising that so few
women in this country devote

men far more than strength. There is
no limit to the number of brawny hands

war many and many farm was carried
on by women. 1t is much easier to ride
on a mower than to scrub at the wash

is not harder work than farmers wives

homeless clerks and bachelors, but by
