Working Girls OF Boston.

The following facts are gathered from the
eleventh annual report rendered by MISS Jen'
ME Collins, of Boitin's Bower:
The leading Boston industry for women Is
the manufacture Of me 3 clothing tor the
custom and sales goods. There are many
classes of the former, graded according to
quality of work. The custom coat makers
are those who do every part of the work on
coats except pressing, and earn compensa'
too of SIG to $2l week, The "bushel WON.
en-" are paid by the week. and understand all
parts of the 'rade In this class of work speed
is essential as we'll rs skill, the price OF
"busheling job" to acustOmer being determIn
ed according to the time taken to do the work
Vest making Is a neat and remunerative class
of work, requiring skill and taste. One of the
most undesirable Is the making of common
pantaloons, the stitching OF which has to be
done by hand on the tour long seams, the two
side pocket and additional back pockets, re-
curing much outlay of labor. This class of
work was advanced last spring IN some estab
lshments from 81 90 to So a pair. The class
of work which is called 'custom made sale"
Is subdivided into pocket maker seamers,
collar makers, machine stitchers, buttenhole
makers finlshers and II little "trot" girls.
The duty of the last named Is to carry the
pieces from the machine operators and press
ers to the scamstresses
A high grade of industry for girls is that of
compositors, VINO are employed mainly on the
types of weekly papers and magazines. Their
earnings range from S4 to $l6 week. 1t is
stated that there are about 800 in Boston,
but there Is never so large number at one
time. The wOmen's work on boots and shoes
is subdlvided in manner similar to clothing.
The girls have no vacation, except from choice,
as the work continues throughout the year
without intermisslon The wages earned
range from 81 to SIG week, the latter price
being secured only by those of the best ability.
That the varied industries which have sprung
up tor women of late years have not caused
the ranks OF the housekeepers to be deserted
is evidenced by the fact that there are at pres.
ent IN Boston, according to the statistics OF
Col. Carroll ID. Wright, 15OS7 domesucs
According to the statistics there are over So
600 shop girls in Boston, and the inequality OF
natural gifts is eXemplitied IN the fact that
many of them can earn 81 week more easily
than others can So

When birds are in their wild state they have
no difficulty IN procurlnga supply OF material
for forming the shells Of tue eggs they lay.
They have AN unlimited range, and can pick
up PARTICLES OF limestone portions OF decom,

converted into the shells of eggs. Wild bird,
lay at most only rs many eggs as they can
hatch al two sitinrs. Some kinds OF birds
hatch only one brood o young In season
DomcstiCaled hlrds, especially fowls, produce
IA large number of eggs in the course of year.
Some of the nOu-settng varieties OF hens lay
as many as 100 eggs III a year. \ large amount
of materials is required 30 form the shells toI
all these cggs. 1t is not contained IN the
gram and Other kinds Of food thai are fur.
nished fowls, especially those kept IN coutiDe
neni. As "A consequence, they lay eggs that
have very thin shells, or no shells AT all. The
eggs that have tlin shells are liable To- break
IN the nests, or during removal from place TO
place. Fowls, whether allowed to run at
large or kept IN close quarters, should be sup
