EVERY now and then generally-accepted
ideas are wrenched out of place with violence.
There is, for instance, popular impression
that bank employees are in receipt of such lib
eral salaries that they can enjoy all the COM
forts and many of the luxuries of life. The
statement of an assistant cashier of New
York bank that he has been paid but $3.50
per week is calculated to cause revision Of
CHS opinion. In the light of this disclosure
the further confession Of the cashier that he
had embezzled $75, one dollar at time will
not cause overwhelming surprise. A man, Of
course, ought to be as honest on $3.50 a week
AS on ten times that sum; but when he has a
Family to support and appearances to keep up
with the smaller amount it is not much won
der that the abstract principle of right be-
comes barren ideality.

A PHILADELPHIA contemporary struck
with a sudden idea rises to inquire why the
special themes which interest men rather than
women should fill nine columns out of ten of
the daily newspaper which goes into house
holds half-filled with women. Before at
tempting to answer this question, it may be as
well to inquire whether the facts are as init
mated. Do women care nothing for politics.
Are they not interested in the current history
of their own country and of foreign lands9
Are they not concerned as to the doings of
religious bodies, of temperance organizations,
Of scientific and educational associations? Are
scandals, unless they are very naughty, to be
left to the men alone? Are not women interest
ed quite as much as their fathers and brothers
in elopements, embellishments, fires, the thou
sand and one daily happenings which are
chronicled in the papersg Society gossip is
published for the benefit of the male readers,
to be sure, women being usually well up on
these matters before they get into the papers;
DuI tholS 10 IcaSou 10 UelleVe LuaG the col
ulnns devoted to the subject are not perused
by one sex only. Is the local department of

by the husband7 Rather, is she not better in
formed, even on railroad news and the mar
kets, than he2 AS for the advertisements.
everybody knows that women read them all,
even to the exciting controversies of rival
clothing stores and which, itmust be admitted,
concern men alone. If, as we believe, the
answers to the foregoing queries indicate that
not only do women read the one column
which, according to the Philadelphia writer,
is inserted for their benefit, but the other nine
columns also, the necessity for explaining the
alleged inequality no longer exists The
women to whom the writer evidently refers
are of a class who do not read daily papers of
any sozt, but find sufficient mental pabulum
in weekly or monthly publications devoted to
fiction, fashion and fancy work. Daily disser-
tations on these interesting themes would be
too much for their brains, and would drive
ether readers to crime; hence they are not at
tempted by wise and considerate publishers.
