Never was there such high demands upon
womanhood as now. They zee that they are

that society depends upon them for its high.

severely real is the task set before them TIKI
result is that many women undertake toe

industrial Victories Won by Women.

Industrial Victories Won by Women.
Forty years ago there was one woman in
the United States who was merchant She
was pointed ont a great example. There
was also one woman preacher, and one woman
physician. who had been instructed privately
and who for years practiced without di-
ploma There are now nearly or quite 5000
women physicians in this country. They
muster more strongly in this than in either of
the other learned professions. About 200
have climbed into the pulpit, and about half
rs many are supposed to be versed in the in
tricacies of the law.
The figures of the las. census show very
clearly the industrial victories that have been
won by women. There are are now but few
callings in which they are not represented.
Nearly one-thiri of all the artists in the
United States are women This is field
into which they have pressed only in mod
ern times. There are not many fe-
male names 10 keep company with
those of the old masters. The restricted
education of women in the middle ages I'm
fitted them for entrance upon the domain of
art. Bat with the increased facilities for
training in that line there are undoubtedly
great triumphs in store for them there
Women always did more or less literary
work, but comparatively few OF them have
invaded the ranks of journalism. OF the
l2.Soo journalists in this country only the odd
hundreds are women. and these have mostly
made special departments for themselves As
correspondents and reporters in certain lines
they have fairly and honorably earned their
straps.
4 Boston paper not long ago published
some statements relating TO the employment
Of women in Massachusetts, which are inter
esting if true. One of these is that there are
no less than 2si branches of industry in
which women gain a livelihood in that state.
In these various pursuits 30, 900 women make
their own living Philadelphia Record.

Just little parting advice to all who may
be about to commence account-keeping. Be
honest with your accounts; put down every
thing you spend. II you find you are spend
ing more than you can afford. face the thing
boldly, and at once try TO discover where tho
fault is. Do not trust TO next week or next
month; begin Immediately to retrench. In
this, as in most other work, it is towards the
middle one begins to get weary and dis
heartened. Accounts for the first month or
two Of the year are sure to be well kept, and
so very probably will be the last three. See
that the middle months are treated in the
same way, and that your account book for
that period does not present a painfully new
appearance, with only a solitary entrance here
and there. Neglected accounts lose at once
their interest and their value Make account
keeping daily duty, honestly performed; it
it will soon turn into a pleasure. Mime
