1t is but just to say that women are
themselves partially responsible for the
expressions to which they are subject
Whether it is al indication of in
feriority, or the result Of generations
of masculine supremacy, it is true that
qualities inherent in the nature Of wo-
men impede their progress as wage
earners. Most women lack self-asser-
ton, and are timid about pushing their
own claims to preferment. They are
also submissive to the existing order
of things-not to the extent of accept
ing it as right, but to a degree which
makes it difficult for reformers TO rouse
them to active protest. Now, it is the
way of the business world that the
man who succeeds financially, who gets
the high salaries, whose services are
eagerly sought for, whose opinions
carry weight, is salf-contident, self
assertive, and quick to demand his
rights. The first two traits lead the
community in general and his en-
ployers in particular to accept him at
his own valuation. Compliance with
his claims after that is q matter OF
course. 1t is desirable that merit,
however modest, should be recognized
and duly appreciated, but unfortun-
ately this is not apt to be the case 1t
is only in Sunday school books and
apocryphal tales related for the encour-
agement of youth that the rich mer-
chant, OF his own motion, rapidly adj
vances his worthy employees and takes
the most talented into partnership
without solicitation. In real life the
| favored one insists directly and lndl-
rectly that he is entitled to the pro-
motion, and creates the impression that
he is the one that renders the service
by accepting the advancement. Wo-
men are not the only ones who suffer
from lack of the quality known as
"pusn." The world as full OF men who
have plodded on, half-recompensed,
through q lifetime of labor, while early
companions with fer less ability have
by sheer force OF self sufficiency and
assertion gone on to wealth and pros
perity.
Women, however, are uniformly
timid, and as class are under DIS
advantage in the struggle for llvel''
hood. Whether it is better that they
should cultivate the aggressive self
confidence and talent for holding
their own or whether they should con
t;n,a to toll meekly for whatever PIT
lance is bestowed upon them, depends
largely upon the point OF yiew---l"

4 DOUBTFUL COMPLIMENT.

White men who travel among people
who have seldom or never seen white
persons before are annoyed by the
curiosity Which their appearance en-
cites. This curiosity, moreover, is,
strange to say, not always attended
with absolute admiration. On this
point a traveller in Abyssinia bears
some amusing testimony.
a crowd of soldiers collected around
us and amused themselves with many
facetious remarks on our appearance,
such as Cats eyes!'' Monkeys
hair!'' What nice red morocco their
skin would make for a sword-sheath!"
These expressions were afterward
translated to me; for in those days
was not well up in the ''chatf'' Of the
language, and, having myself a tolera-
bly, good opinion of my appearance, l
judged that the remark must be highly
complimentary.
Some years after this l asked per

omen,

Some one has classified women unde.
two headings-the beautiful and the
good. The distinction may be too alb
solute, but it is certain that the wise man
would rather admire than marry beau
tiful woman. And it is no less certain
that many men who have married wo-
men remarkable for their devotion have
with sorrow seen an extraordinary
change in their wives soon after mar
riage. In such q case the woman may
not scruple to explain this change as
due to the novel and Earring circum-
stances of married life. But she will
not be saved by such sophistry. The
father of the Jesuits knew all about it
when he made it rule of his life chat
familiarity with all women ought to be
avoided, even with the most devout;
that the most innocent commerce with
them, if it wound not our conscience,
leaves some stain upon our reputation,
and the smoke blackens, though the
fire does not burn u.s."
1t has been said that the beautiful wo-
man is book containing only single
page, which may be read at glance;
whereas the woman who is both beau
tiful and good is book of many pages,
proper perusal of which exacts life
time. 1t may be SO; but why is it that
the women of the latter uncommon
type always survive their husbands Or
series of husbands?
Enough, however. 1t will be suffi-
GENTLY evident from these few pages
that women have always been esteemed
as an amiablc blunder, and are likely
to be the cause of incredibly bitter
laundering in the future. While there
is time, let us entreat their leaders to
look whittier they are going. To the
men of this generation, happily, it mat
tiers but little. For
When all is thought and said,
| The heart still overrules the head
Still what we hope we must believe

We are thus assured of measure of
domestic happiness in our lives.

In the early days of the direct tea trade

The fastest clipper ships were engaged in
the trade. Great haste in loading hem was
followed by "a hot race to reach New York

The first cargo brought the best price and
large profits. The successful Captain was
always rewarded. so every known aid TO

Tho young captain of one OF Mr.. Astor's
clippers bought, on one OF his trips, new
thermometer. and with its aid made quick
passage, and arrived first. He put the
price Of it into the expense account of the
trip. hut Mr.. Astor threw it out, insisting
that such an item of expense for new fam
ged notions could not be allowed.
The Captain thercnpon resigned and took
service with IL rival line.
The next year he reached port long in ad

Catching Up.

The popular belief is that girls
grow old faster than do boys; but
perhaps, after all, the reverse is true.
The interesting race between brother
and sister in the following story, in
which the brother went ahead, may
be taken as typical Of many others.
Miss c. was born only two years
earlier than her brother Tom. When
Tom was ten years old she glOried
because she was twelve; when Tom
was known to be fourteen she con-
fessed to sweet sixteen; when Tom
proudly boosted of eighteen she tim
idly acknowledged herself past nine
teen; when Tom came home from
college with a mOustache and q vote,
and had a party in honor Of his
twenty-frst birthday. she said to her
friends:
''What a bOyish fellow he is! Who
would think that ne is only a year
younger than I?''
When Tom declared he was twenty
five, and old enough to get married,
she said to an intimate friend.
"DO you know, I feel sayagely
Jealous to think Of Tom getting mar
ried. But then, I suppose twins are
always more attached to each other
than other brothers and sisters.
And two years later, at TOMS we'd
ding, she said, with girlish yIyaclty,
to the wedding guests:
''Dear old Tom! to see him married
tonight, and then to think how,
when he was only five wears old. they
brought him to see me. his baby sis
ter! I wonder if he thinks of it to-
day."

Yivinerous Fishes.
San Francisco Alta.

o6u EtiAlCLSSO AACd
An item that has been going the
rounds of the Eastern press heralds
as a startling scientific discovery the
finding of fish in Florida waters that
produce their young after the man
neF of mammals. AS matter of
fact ViviparOus fishes were discovered
on the Pacific coast nearly thirtY-five
years ago, and were then classified
by the elder Agassiz. The way in
which this departure from finny hab-
it's of reproduction first became
known to science was described as
follows to an Alta reporter by DR..
HewstOn, the expert icthyOlOgist of
the Academy Of Sciences:
Some where in the early part Of
the fifties John Carey, a prominent
San Franciscan and brOther-inlaw
of Agassiz, observed the curious fact
that a variety Of silver perch peddled
by bay fishermen produced their
Young alive. Thinking that it might
interest his brOther-in-law, ne wrote
to him, describing the fish and it's
habits in unseientific terms. The
prince Of American scientists pooh
pOOhed the idea, saying that it was
supremely ridiculous and utterly inn
possible according to all known laws
of icthyolOgy. Carey, however, knew
whereof he spoke, and having OBJ
tanned pregnant perch sent it to
Agassiz, who had perforce to believe
his own eyes Pursuing the discov-
cry Agassiz classified the fish and
assigned to it a new genus, enbiotca,
from the Greek words zen, within,
and HbiOs" life
In 1858 DR.. Herman, then at
tached to what was called the E'New
Pacific Coast Railroad Survey" dis
covered the same thing and CLASH
fed the fish as ennicthys, but the
honor of the original discovery be
longs to Mr.. Carey, and that Of the
first classification to Agassiz. Some
five or six varieties of the viviparOus
perch are found all along this coast,
but especially in Puget Sound and
San Francisco and San Diego bays.
There is also a fresh water variety in
San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers.
