Ladies occupations.

The opportunities for ladies to
find employment that is both suit
able and remunerative are limited
their pay is usually poor as compar
ed with salaries paid to men in same
ines of occupation. But there are
some very noted exceptions: jour
nallsm, the drama, music and the
platform offer equal advantages to
men and women; and there Is one
occupation IN which the women are
generally more successful than men.
and that is the management OF spe-
cial agencies. By special agencies,
We mean they are given the exciu-
sive control of the sale of special
articles at the stores, and, II
the articles have merit, and are IN
demand, they are source of prcht
to the special agent if properly
handled. In this line the CncIn-
natl Suspender Company are oHer-
ing inducements to ladies that we
think ought 20 attract atteption--
They are manufacturing now the
celebrated Queen City Skirt suspen-
der for la lies and misses and their
unequaled Stocking Supporters for
ladies' and children. Oscar Wilde,
in his "Ph ilosophy of Dress says,
"the first and last rule is this, that
each separate article of apparel IS
to be suspended from the shoulders
always, and never from the waist.
Nature gives no opportunity a all
of suspendlng anything from the
waists delicate curve. Consequent.
ly. by means OF tight corset, a reg
ular artificial ledge had to be pro-
duced, from which the lower gar
ments are hung. Where there are
no suspenders there must be corsets;
adopt the former and the latter dis
appear. Catherine de Medicis,
High Priestess of poison and petit
coats, invented the corset. Now
c.rsets are wholly bad. PetticOats
should be suspended from the shoul-
ders." No lady or miss should be
without suspenders. Our leading
physicians recommend them and
are load in their praise of the Queen
City Suspenders. These goods are
manufactured By women, who have
made the wants of ladies and chill
dren a study. and they ask us tore
fer them to some reliable and en-
ergetic lady to take the exclusive
sale Of them, and we certainly think
that an earnest solicitation in every
household would meet with n ready
response, and that determined
woman could make a handsome sal
airy and have an exclusive agency
that would be very profitable. We
advise any lady who needs en-
ployment to send TO this company
her name and address Cplalnly writ

Good Fitting Shoes.

Ill-fitting, loose shoes, oftener cause
more painful results than sEell-fitting,
tight shoes, provided the tight shoes are
long enough. Mothers can do much by
seeing that the foolish pride does not
take possession of their children, of
wearing certain Number of shoes, for
different makers have different lengths
for the same number, and the difference
of one number will spoil the shape of
the foot of growing child. There are
many people who. force children, let
them complain ever so loudly, 20 wear q
shoe until it is worn ont. 1t seems =
matter of economy and necessity at the
time, but how much suffering it costs in
the end. If mothers all wore sensible
shoes and taught their children not only
how foolish, but how wicked it was to
torture the feet, just to make them ap-
pear a little smaller than they are,
there would dawn day when well feet
would be the exception instead of the
rule.
Shoes should be made with sole as
broad as the foot when bearing the full
weight of the body. This width can
easily be ascertained by setting the bare
foot on the floor, Tie little toe and side
of the foot resting against the base
board; then mark the width land meas
ure. The upper leather must not be in
the same proportion to the lower, in this
broad-soled shoe, as in the narrow. 1t
must decrease as the sole Increases in
width. Note the difference in the thick
ness of the foot when inside narrow
soled shoe. While standing barefooted
on the floor to measure the width of the
foot, place the rule flat on the top of the
foot, letting the end rest against the
Dashboard. Then measure the height
from the floor; this will give the height
of the shoe last. The line from the toe
to the heel on the inside (sole) edge, of
a properly shaped shoe, should be
straight, the toes broad, the heels flat
and low. The vamps should not have
the seams cross the large toe joints, but
should be at least an inch away, SO that
the overlap or underlap of the quarters
will not cause an irritation of the toe
Joints, which results in bunions. Feet
cramped in narrow shoes always pro
duce clumsy walker, the muscles OF
the feet have no spring to them, the feet
are lifted as SO much dead weight, and
walking is anything but a pleasurei
there is neither grace, nor beauty, nor
comfort. but the opposites.

Washing Sheep.

The average man still clings to wash
ing sheep. Did it ever occur to such
that no fleece was ever washed clean
enough on the farm to fit it for the man
ufacturer? Did it ever present itself
forcibly that the yolk Of the fleece was
its preserver from injury-a soap, in
fact, mixed with q considerable amount
of fixed oil. This preserves the elastic
ity of the fleece. When thoroughly
washed the fleece becomes dry and brit
tie and loses its elastic qualities Again.
unwashed wool is said never to be in
tested with the moth. which destroys the
value of wool. Washing gets out a GER
tain amount of yolk, but not enough to
really increase the value of the wool to
the manufacturer, since in drying the
wool catches much dirt and grit. Yet
the buyers will always try to convince
the owner of unwashed wool that it is
worth less than washed, but the quality
being all right he buys it.
In relation to the amount of yolk in
wool, in healthy flocks of uniform grade
it is quite even, but varies in different
breeds. In the Leicester and other long
woods % per cent may be yolk, and
from this up to even IS per cent in the
finest Saxony sheep. rams being always
stronger in yolk than wethers and ewes.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 16.-An extraordinary ex-
pertinent, unprecedented in judicial annals,
was gone through here Saturday at the hospi-
tai De Saint Jean, in connection with the case
OF the woman cut in pieces by Midwife Rode
let and her lover, Masquelier. The former,
who deuies the accusation, tried To throw dis
credit on ~Masquelier's confession by stating
that he was physically incapable of cutting up
a body in the manner he described. In conse-
qucnce Masouelier was requested by the au-
thoritics t. cut up at the hospital De st. Jean
the body of a dead woman lying there for dis
section. Masquelier assented, and the expert
ment took place yesterday before the judges
and a crowd Of medical authorities. Masque-
lier was at first very much upset, but recover
ing from his emotion he took up a kitchen
knife and chopped the legs, arms and head Of
the dead body, exactly as he had described.
The terrible operation lasted twenty-five min
utes, and filed the witnesses with horror,
while convincing the judges of the accuracy Of
Masquelier's confession.

TAXING PUBLIC REQUESTS.

New York has one law on her statute
books that should be repealed, and that
is the law under which the county
treasurer will get 10000 fees and the
state 5000, 900 tax on the public be-
quests of Samuel j. Tilden. When a
man dies his property technically be-
longs to the state and is given to his
heirs. The right of the state to reserve
such a proportion of that property rs
she pleases cannot be questioned. 1t
would be entirely just even if all prop
erty above a certain limit passed to the
state On the death Of its owner.
But that is not the question. The
law of New York discriminates be-
tween public and private requests.
Virtually it says that when a man 10
generous enough to give his property
to public uses, the state shall step in
and grab Il large share from the pub
lie. Virtually the law, as it stands,
puts a premium on giving to individu-
ais rather than to the people. This
must act to check prblic b~rnefactions.
The law should be changed about.
Tax requests to individuals as high as
possible without too greatly checking
the desire for accumulation; but when
a man is generous enough to give to
the public of his own free will and ac-
cord, let him put his money where he
pleases.

Washington Navy Yard.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT, AT It's last session
congress appropriated 81 ,OOO,c0 for gun for
toe navy yard. The secretary of the navy in
tends that ALI the work by the government
shall be done 1T the Washington navy yards.
He viii shortly consolidate some of the bu-
roaus OF the yards, so that 1t will be before
long almost entirely government ordnance
foundry. The natural advantages of the
Washington yard are very superior for ordi-
nance work, while the workshops are
well adapted for the work, and
there Is a force Of skilled workmen
already on hand and a good supply OF ma
chinery and tools. The yard has not suf-
ficient resources, however, for the work on as
large o scale as intended, and it will be neces-
sary TO provide tlem some additional plans.
Secretary Whitney intends using a portion of
the 81 100000, probably $3.50. oOv, for supply
in the necessary plant. They propose to in
crease the facij'ies of the yard to a capacity
sufficient to turn out all the guns required for
the navy, and depend upon gun and steel
manufacturers Tor the guns in the rough.
