In TelegrapI,y.

"From which sex do you.get the best oper-
atorsy"
"From among the men. Some years ago I
employed operators from both xes.indiscrim-
inately but now employ men exclusively,
with the exception of a very few ladies whom +
have right under my eye"
"What is the difference between them?"
II think II lies principally in the fact that
while the men adopt and carry on telegraphy
as the work of their lives, the ladies' take it up
Ns temporary employment, which will soon
come to an end by their getting married Asa
consequence Of this, after they have become
fair operators they are liable 10 become care
loss, and not to attend to their work properly.
Any moment that one of them Is not actively
employed sho Ia likely to take up book or o
bit of sewing, or to begin conversation with

-Of the women that enter tho business, said
a circus man to Newspaper reporter, Stheir
origin ia not always certain, but majority Of
them are born into the business and know
nothing outside of it. There are few notable
exceptions, but perhaps majority of them are
women Of the ordinary mental attainments and
peculiarly exclusive lives, however contrary to
common opinion that may seem. Until they
are married, and that is generally very early in
life, they are almost invariably accompanied by
their fathers, brothers. or mothers, whose sur
veillance is usually very strict Ladies who
rdc,or perform daring feats look down upon
the members of their own sex like the pretty
Montague, who are not acrobats. They declare
that such ladies have no talent A woman
born pretty is regarded by them in
the same sense ~ woman born with a
beard or no arms-merely as a curiosity. Cir
Gus people seldom care TO make acquaintances
outside Of the business This applies particu-
larly to the women. Knowing that they are
not regarded ~ a class in as fair light as
they should be, they return the same sort OF
distrust, and outside OF their most intimate
family friends hardly know or trust any one
Perhaps 10 emphasize this fact i can cite an in
stance in my own experience where | have
been with company which included some
thirty women, and, although | stood close to
the management, my acquaintance with the
women was never more than the ordinary ex-
| change of salutations except with two and
I they we're both married ladies and old enough

does them the greatest injustice, although this
opinion derives It's origin from the very exclu

Her Weak Point.
John Wannamaker.

JONI NhuuhihohVi'
1t is not the lack Of mental capacity, but Of
physical endurance, which is their weak point.
In system the man is. apt to be superior, but
the woman more than makes up for this de-
ficiency by quickness of perception which
amounts almost to intuition. But, when you
get good woman, she too often goes at her
work all on fire with zeal, does the work Of
three in one, and, thus overtaxing her strength,
is probably i'll afterwards to pay for 1t But
the great trouble is that women do not make
business their life work, as men do The
young ones, especially, are merely in the store
until they get married, and looking forward TO
that, do their duties in half-hearted way,
which is sure to fail Of success, or course
there are honorable EXCEPTIONS to this rule,
and we have many valuable women in our EN-.
ploy Women are quick to learn and deft To
execute and there is no reason why they
should not learn anything IL they only sci

Women Dentists.

Demorests monthly.
Miss Jessie T. Detchon, after full dental
course in Philadelphia, has been licensed to
practice as dentist in that city. Several young
women are applicants to pursue course Of
study in the dental college Of New York., No
doubt in time all our principal cities will have
their quota Of lady dentists. There Is no rea-
son why women should not follow this pro-
fossion here They are very common in Ger
many, and very successful In all the largo
dental establishments in the cities where anies-
thetics arc administered, women act as assist
ants, and even tho severest operations do not
require more strength than many women pos
soss, Had they tho requisite skill, lady patients
would prefer to employ one Of their own sex
for obvious reasons Even the making Of
plates and the manufacture of false teeth
might DO undertaken by women, as il requires
no moro manual skill than wood engraving ar
painting By all means lot us have women

There is class OF men here writes Paris
correspondent, such as / never encountered
elsewhere-a man who leads perfectly up
right, honorable life in business, whose inter-
course with his fellow-m is all that the
promptings Of strictest honor could suggest
whose home life is truthful, honorable and lib
eral, but who takes great pleasure in going
alone TO the Liederkranz, the Arion, the French,
and in fact, all the masked balls He goes for
no special purpose, except to have good time
Heputs 500 or 500 in his pocket, expecting TO
epend it before he leaves the academy. The
freedom Of a mask permits him to address or to
be spoken to by any person in tho assemblage.
Going to the wine-room alone he finds fellow
broker or merchant and with him eakes bot
tie Of wine Upon the floor or in the dance or
on the corridors he accosts mask, and with

OF wine or more, AZ the case may be. Consign-
ing her TO her escort, he seeks others, or is
sought by others, with the same result II he
is fond Of dancing he joins group OF maskers,
and together they dance the sober quadrille,
the fascinating waltz, or the hifalutin can
can. II does not seem to make much differ
ence how old the man is. | have seen bald
headed, gray-bearded old fellows indulging
in this thing, initiated more or less success
fully by men with more hair and less
money To one who calmly stands and
coolly critcisos, these men appear to be at
the acme Of folly They certainly throw
away their money, and would seem to be in
danger OF losing their heads but the next day
they turn up smiling and attend to their bust
ness in the most decorous and proper manner
They are in no sense changed. They have
seen life; they have unbent trife, but after
good nights rest and bottle Of soda in the
morning they are as they were. There are
hundreds of men, well known in club circles
here, who never think Of taking wife or
daughter or other lady to these balls, who 90
in groups, in parties, or possibly alone, know
ing that they will meet scores Of their ac-
quaintances there, with whom they can have a
Jolly good time What effect all this is to have

A Lady Like Narrowness or View.

Indianapolis Review.
We came across the following paragraph Ia
story the other day.
"Bertram half smiled as he looked into her
face. He suspected there were some fine old
fashioned prejudces hidden beneath that girl
lsh exterior, He was one Of those who do not
object to certain lady Like narrowness OF view
in women"
Bertram is evidently built on the sphere and
Nhreside' plan, He is one Of those who mis-
take squeamishness fol. .delicacy, ignorance for
excellence, and bigotry for righteousness "A
certain lady-liko narrowness Of view is about
the worst attribute woman could possess
We have known such women They are as
unsympatheuc as death, az uncharitabe az u
pestilence, AZ self righteous as Sodom. Com
fortably clad, luxuriously fed and housed, they
sit ut their windows aud watch their less fortu-
nate sisers go by in rags without commisor-
ating thought They @hsve rights enough "
They don't want vote,' and they don't want
any other women TO vote. They neither un-
derstand nor approve any situation in lfe but
their own Being narrow they cannot be either
tolerant or liberal Everything not compre-
bended In their little range OF life is wrong
and ought not to be.
Once 1t was supposed that the less woman
knew the greater lady she was. In those good
old times fools were in clover. The woman
who was ignorant of everything in the world
but embroidery and fainting at moments no.
tice was considered great With all it's oppor-
tunties for acquiring sense and wisdom tho
world has not altogether outgrown this density
of ignorance Still there are women who are
ostentationsly untaught and men who think
brainlessness the mark of lady.
We hope Mr.. Bertram will marry the wom-
an with the lady like narrownessnoss OF view
In that case he will be cured of his infatua-
ton.
1t is quite time that this order of heroine
pass off the page of the novel and go down
with history as one of the stumbling blocks of
progress.

Poison in the sultan,s Palace.

In November last Gen. Fuad Pasha was
arrested, and was tried by tribanal in
the Palace of Yilditz. The charges against
him were of vague character, but they
were founded upon some rash after-din-
ner talk attributed to Fuad, who is COM
municativc over his champagne. The
tribunal found nothing against him, and
he was released and resumed his duties
as aide-de-camp to the Sultan. About
three weeks afterwards he was again ar
rested and confined in one of the kiosks
in the palace grounds. No charges were
brought against him, but he remained
under arrest till the 2Sth of January,
when he was released.
A private letter from Constantinople
tells us how the hero of Katcheilewo and
Elena regained his liberty;
after remaining in confinement for
more than three weeks, Fuad declared
TO his attendants that he could endure il
no longer, and that he would rather die
than continue to live under such perse-
cution as that 10 which he was subjected; ;
he was resolved to take no more food.
His attendants thought this was merely
a facon de parIer. But Fuad stuck to his
word, and for three days ate no solid
food but he smoked all day long, con-
suming eighty to hundred cigarettes a
day. On the evening of the third day
he had sort of cataleptic fit, and re-
mained in a comatose condition for some
hours. This caused much alarm, and
tfe First Chamberlain told the story
to the Sultan, who exclaimed, If
he dies, what will they say outsider
The Chamberlain replied, 1T will be said
that Fuad Pasha was poisoned in the
palace Whereupon the Sultan ordered
That Fuad should be sent home, with
present of $500 to console him for what
lie had undergone"
