Industrial Victories Won BY Women.

Forty years ago there was one woman in
the United States who was merchant She
was pointed out as great example. There
was also one woman preacher, and one woman
physician. who had been instructed privately
and who for years practiced without d.
ploniu. There are now nearly or quite 300
women physicians in this country. They
muster more strongly in this than In either Of
the other learned professions About aOO
have climbed into the pulpit, and about half
as many are SUPPOSED to be versed in the in
trr'acles of the law.
The figures the last 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-third of all the artists In the
Unitsd States are women This Is field
into which they have pressed only in mol
ern times There are not many fe-
male names 30 keep company with
tllo.e Of the old masters The restricted
education Of women in the middle ages un.
fitted them for entrance upon the domain Of
art But 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
1899 journalists In this country only the odd
hundreds are women, and these have mostly
made special departments for themselves. Al
correspondents and reporters in certain lines
they have fairly ami honorably earned their
strnps.
A Boston paper not long ago published
some statements relating to the employment
Of women in Massachusetts, which are inter
esting il true One of these is that there are
no less than ~ branches Of industry In
which women gain livelihood in that state.
III these various pursuits 80, 900 women make
their own living. Philadelphia Record.

A Charming Little Story.


Several years ago gentleman had
the misfortune to become totally blind,
cataract forming over his eyes. While
in this condition his wife died.
A young German girl, whom the un-
fortunate man had never seen, was very
attentive to the wife in her last illness,
and, after her death, did what she could
to make tho grief-stricken husband and
his two little motherless children as COM
Portable as possible.
Such devotion did not go unrewarded.
The blind man proposed and was ac-
cepted, He married the faithful girl
Two children were the result of their
union.
During all these years the blind man
never lost hopes that some day he might
again look upon the beauties Of nature
and the faces Of the loved ones around
him,
A physician was finally consulted who
agreed to attempt the removal of the
cataract The operation was successful,
aud he from whom tho light Of day had
been shut out for so many years saw
again. Ho was almost beside. himself
with joy. Is
A friend, who was at once recognized,
came, leading lady by the hand.
"Do you know who this ISL. he-ask'
ed the happy fellow.
"No | do not.
"This is your wife"
And then the pair, one OF whom had
never seen the other. fell into each Others
arms and domestic scene Of pathetic
beauty ensued.
The two children we're also brought
to their father. He clasped them to bis
beating heart, and all the miseries Of
the past were forgotten in the pleasure
of that moment.
This is a true story. The actors in
this life-panorama, covering period of
ten years, arc all alive. The husband
soeps as woll as he ever did and is now
in business in distant city.
