Cleveland, is hailed with Joy by ply
siclans of that city, who know there is
no aid they so much need to supple
ment their skill, as that Of trained and
competent nurses. Superior musical
and elocutionary talent Is better and
better rewarded. Some of these per-
sons are in such ready demand for par.
ties and entertainments, that in the city
of New York they have constant en-
ployment at from $40 to $50 a night.
Local amateurs however would not be
advised to 20 far from home expecting
to compete with them.
silk culture is light, profitable and
interesting employment for women,
and the exhibits of this industry, is one
attracting crowds at all the expositions.
Stenography, telegraphing, book-keep-

are everywhere very much done by
women. ., ..s..
Woman's journalistic and literary
work has increased enormously within
few years, and has the advantage of
not necessarily taking her from the
home and family. Indeed some of the
best writers have written books
parallel with and in the midst of their
domestic and housekeeping cares.
1t may encourage young writer's to
remember that though, at Afty-two,
Louisa NJ. Alcott has received over
100000 for copy rights, and has more
orders from publishers than she can
fill, her first book scarcely received
any attention, and she worked under
great discouragemepts for years, before
she made writing pay, an experience
almost universal among famous women
In any calling. W ,
Often the wife's desire to help her
husband has developed her latent
talent. Mrs. Roebling, the wife Of the
builder of the Brooklyn bridge, became
his chief engineer, her inventive brain
clearing away difficulties, that had
puzzled professionals of the other sex
for weeks. The widow of the His
torlan Greene completed the revision OF
her husbands Conquest Of England"
Women are not without business
capacity, and are often good fnanclers.
Miss Clara Barton saves the salary OF
$4,000 year, formerly paid to man for
looking after the business interests Of
the womep's prison Of Massach usetts,
and takes no extra wages for this In
crease of her cares.
Besides the high schools and normal
schools Of this country, there are 25
colleges and universities where women
are admitted to equal instruction with
their brothers, and $50 women are pro-
fessors and instructors In these % in
stitutions. Florence Whiting is In.
structor In metalurgy in the school OF
Mines In the University Of Missouri and
Mrs. Sudborough is professor Of
pedagogics, considered very exalted
position. In view Of what woman has
already done, one might as we'll query,
"What cannot she do?" Those who
are freed from poverty, and live IN an
atmosphere Of protected devotion should
develop intellectually and in sympa-
thetic qualities, because of their leisure
and their fortunate circumstances.
But as often they grow narrow and sell
fish, and 1t is the woman self-support-
ing and with others dependent, familiar
with sorrow and toll, and who has
been sometimes bafiied by defeat In
her unequal struggle with her environ
ments, who has most eminently be-
come large-hearted as we'll as able
minded, and has preserved and multi
piled her charms of womanllness by the
discipline. If girl be noble-minded,
Christian In her tastes and tendencies,
industrious, like the model Solomon
described; one who openeth her mouth
with wisdom and not with Stiffness, a
student and learner always, ller voca-
tlon will find her, and she will not be
idle. clay thy hand to the spindle and
