enough considered reason for an about

This drift into business and the arena in
which the mans away-from home hours are
spent, unsexes the softer sex in so far as all
its better capacities are concerned. 1t units
woman for the highest conditions of her
being; 1t brings marriage into disrepute,
RODS girlhood of its innocence. and harGens
womanhood into the unsympathetic and
pulseless business machine. 1t exposes the
young girl to innumerable temptations; il
bsnishes bushes from the cheek OF youth
and modesty, and thus expels from the
heart the guardian and signal of innocence
and sensibility, and often supplants itwith
misery and shame.
DECLINE OF THE CHIyALRoUS SPIRIT.
But it is also destructive of chivalry, the
gallantry and common courtesy among
men for women. 1t is scarcely necessary
to dwell upon this point, the fact is TOO
well and commonly known to call for
elaboration. That we are retrosrading in
our manners towards women we meet in
business, and measursbly all we meet in
public, is unquestioned, and it is needless
to reclte proofs, since common observation
must have convinced all thinking people
OF the truth of the statement If we are
TOLD, as by writer in the San Francisco
Call of recent date, that there is absolute
need for the employment of women in
business walks, since there are thousands
who suffer for common necessities because
they have not the means OF earning a
decent living; that the one chief and cry
ing demand of the day is forrewarding en-
ployment for women, We reply that the de-
mand is mistaken for need. Thirty wears
ago women were as happy, as well sup
piled as now. Wages were then lower, and
the cost of living not much less. There
was not greater restitution then than now
there was far less wealth, more marrying
and less false pride. But women were mol
then so greatly in business employments,
though engaged in factories, and to some
extent in mines and II fields Female
clerks, book keepers, agents, brokers, law
yers, doctors, stenographers, secretaries,
bankers, etc, were very few indeed until
recent years. Except in New England fac
tories very few women were engaged III
this country in vocations such as we here
indict them for entering. If then, women
were as intelligent, well conditioned and
happy thirty years ago as now, it is illogical
to assume that the demand for their enter
ing into all manner of business today is
the result of necessity.
But the truth is that the entry of women
into business, besides unsexing them, As
shown, is abnormal, because their natural
instincts, tastes, capacity and physical con-
ditions are out of tune with most business
of the outdoor world. There is no woman
engaged in business pursuits to-day who
does not feel that its routine exactions are
| inharmonious to her being; that she is de-
prived of chat freedom which, in the most
exacting housewifery, leaves her some
liberty 10 rest, to come to go or to vary her
| work at her will.

MARION HARLANDs VIEWS.

Marion Harland, an accomplished and
observant woman, frankly confesses as

tial, and she is not readily amenable to
necessary discipline. 1t is the testimony CT
most employers of women, that iaxitv and
whimsicalities are INDUCED in them that
would not be tolerated an instant in
male employees. Miss Harland declares
that every overlooker of female clerks
knows this to be true AMI that women in
employment enjoy indulgences because of
their sex that would be intolerable in 9th.

keeps wages down. Miss Harland tells Of

test to you that they would not be N en-
ployment if they could help it, for rightly
woman considers self-support in outdoor
or out-of-home business in violation of her
nature, and she is right. Miss Harland
says that even in nursing they fail at the
critical juncture as employees very often,
and she gives several instances of this fact.
So, too in shops the saleswomen pause
to sigh and bemoan very often, or to fiirt
and pass trivialties with friends Oftener
still, they make no such efforts to please
and sell as does the male clerk. There
never was vet a female stenographer who
did not impress Courts, Legislators and
newspaper men with vague sense of IN
reliability; the fear that she would break
down, collapse or vanish in a flash of hys-
terra, and this is the testimony of all steno-
graphers. Nor are they, as short-h hand
writers, equal to the physical strain and
mental draft often to be endured. As
type writers they become rapid, but never
equal to what business men know as
long push" AS clerks they cannot &C.
complish so much as male competitors and
hence male contingent is invariably at

ton of virility, as it were.

THE DOMESTIC.

saves more, If saving at all. than the girl in

the additional advantage of domicile in 9
home, which. even if not altogether har-
monious, is still better atmosphere for her
than that other in which she would have
to confront and elbow all manner of peo-
pie in the cold, harsh and unyomanly
circles of business. That is to saw,
the hired girl, or domestic, cook. cham.

the teiegrapher, the luaeh-counter girl. the
bookkeeping girl, the secretary, the shop or
factory girl. Moreover as already init.
mated, she has less laborious occupation
and enjoys g mental rest and intel
lectual opportunities to which the
others are comparative strangers. At the
same time she does not displace a male
worker, or lower just standard of wages.
But beyond and above a. these gains, she
is better fitted for her sSvice to be one of
the founders OF home, and 10 enter intel

the extension of the ballot to woman will

rrih RAiNBow,s TREASURES.

W az
The following poem ii one Of the
frst ever written BY John Boyle
O'ReiIly, and was printed in his first
volume, Songs and Legends:
Where the foot OF the rlinbow meets the fed,
And the grass respondent grows,
The earth will precicu treasure yield
AS the oiden story gees.
In a crystal cup are the diamonds pied
For Linn who can swiftly chase
Ger torrent and deserE and p ecipice wild
To the rainboWs wandering base.
There were two in the field at work one day,
Two brothers who b1ithely sun :
When across the valleys deep winding way
Tho glorious arch was flung.
And ole saw nlught but sign of rain
And feared for his sheaves unbound;
And one is away DER mountain and plain
Till the mystical treasure Is found
Through ferest and stream, in q bIissful dream
The rainbow lured him on:
With sirens guile it loftered awhile
Then leagues away was gone.
Through brake and brier he followed feet,
The people seoffed as he past.
But In thirst and heat and with wounded feet,
He nears the prize at last.
| 1t is G oser and closer he wins the race.
One strain for ee goal in sight
adianae falls on his yea ng face,
The bis nded colors unitsl
He 1aye5 his brow in the iris beam,
He reaches all woe the sound
From the misty guilt where he ends his dream
Where tie crystal cup is found
| Ills tn, old, old story. One man win read
| His L sson of toll in the sky.
While another is blind to the grosser need,
A sneer with the splits eye.
| You may grind their souls nthe self same mill
You may lind them heat and brow;
| But the poet will follow the rainbow still,
And his brother will follow The pillow.

Swearing Pays Better Than Washing.

African Artillarv.

In the garden of the Marine Academy
at Kiehl was seen, short time ago,
among various cannon of the last ten
years, two pair of strengthening ar
tillery weapons, which looked as il at
the time of the Thirty Years War, if
not earlier, they had been sunk in a
bog, and now, almost eaten up with
rust and decay, had been brought to
light.
Yet it is not long since these weapons
of war played their part on the battle
field during the uprising on the East
African coast. They are the so-ealled
@Buschiri cannon" which were captured
by the German ships-of-war Leipzig and
Garcia at Pangani and Saadani.
AS one looks at these antediluvian
monsters in their ungainliness, the
impression is very strong that the val
liant @blue-jackets" could not have been
greatly dismayed at such weapons as
those!
Not one of the four cannon is of
exactly the same form as its companion !;
not one OF them has any continuance
for directing the aim or turning the
cannon, so that it becomes impossible
to imagine their bringing death or de-
struction to any one, save by chance.
Nevertheless, the cannon-carriage has
rather costly appearance. II must
have taken many negro hands to form
it, clumsy as it is, from wood; and the
wheels, which no strength could move
now, are made fast with many long,
rusted nails.
One has only TO imagine yoke of
oxen before this remarkable vehicle Of
war, and pair of black drivers. aud
the picture Of Buschiri's war artillery
would be complete. Yoatth's Conn

Haunted Rooms IN Rotc,s.

"Yes, man who commits suicide in
hotel causes a vast deal of trouble,
said an old hotel clerk to the reporter
of the Indianapolis Ne,us. IF the
number of the room in which the deed
was committed gets out We always have
TO re-number the room before we can
get anybody to occupy it. 1 recall an
incident of few years ago that is in
teresting. A well-known Richmond
man had committed suicide liz one OF
the indianapolis hotels. About the
time the corpse was removed some OF
the electric wires in the building got
crossed. That afternoon o travelling
man was occupying room several
doors from the one in which the suicide
had occurred. Every time he would
call for a boy the register would point
TO the number of the room in which the
suicide had occurred and from which
the corpse had been removed only q
few hours before. A bell-boy answered
the first call, and came back white as
sheet with the announcement that no
one was in the room. Ting aling-
a-ling,' went the call-bell again, and
once more the register pointed to the
room In which the suicide had occurred.
A second bell-boy was sent to the room,
and he came back as badly scared as the
first, with the statement that no one
was in the room.
It's the dead mans ghost, said q
guest who had become interested in the
proceedings.
Again the bell rang. and for the
third time the register pointed to the
suicides room. ordered third bell
boy to go up and make sure there was
no one in the room. Not much; be
wouldn't go. Said wasn't going to
steer him in among spooks. i screwed
mp nv own courage and started up
stairs To make an investigation myself.
My breath was beginning to come short
when met the travelling man on my
way down stairs. tuning because his
calls had not been answered. &c DC,

the bears iii front of me, at the same
time beating steady retreat with the
enemy pressing me closely.
4 When my rife had exhausted it's
first sixteen loads I could only lind
time to slip one cartridge in at time.
Four times during this process did q
bear raise itself on lis hind legs, and
grapple with me; and as many times
did my faithful dog assail the bear and
succeeded in diyerting its attention till
/ could reload my gun and send bull
let into the shaggy brute's body. Z
At length the bears began to thin
ont and lag behind, and finally gave up
the contest altogether, allowing me to
make good my escape.
Save few bruises and scratches
about my body, and the almost entire
demolition Of mysclothes, was nnin
iured, though my escape, indeed, was a
most miraculous one, and surprise to
myself. [ attribute my escape to my
faithful old dog.
After the contest I at once proceeded
to the river where my canoe was an
chored, meeting Bill on the way, who
was also bending his steps in that di-
rection, and who, as he expressed it,
had not seen bear that blessed day
Il related my adventure to him, and
we decided to construct sledge, with
which to bring in our game.
When we arrived at the scene Of the
contest there was not single live bear
to be seen anywhere, but at different
place, scattered along the line OF
twenty or thirty rods showing the
length of ground covered by the con-
test were eight dead bears, all large
ones, and I believe / had wounded
twice as many as i had killed. The
whole place presented sight similar
to slaughter pen, and in many of the
tracks that led from the scene was q
trail Of blood. Eight bears killed and
twice as many wounded is conceded
among the noted Nimrods of this sec
ton as the greatest single-handed bear
fight on record. The struggle lasted
about half an hour.
Il have since been known as Bear
Slayer, but / have had enough bear
hunting to last me lifetime"

When poor .Old Honey" died.
He had never heard OF Mendelssohn,

And shrieked in agony of joy,
The while his foot kept time.

Tothe murmur of the brooklet
And the song-birds on the bough.
