A GREAT FIELD FOR WOMEN.

This is another avenue open to the women
who do thorough work-and unless it is
thorough it will prove failure. This dis
position on the part of women to strike out
in new lines, and do their work well, is one
of the features of the age, and will in time
bring about vast reform in the way of COM
fort in the household. As they obtain con-
fidence in their powers they will take up
larger enterprises and reap greater profits.
The day does not seem distant when capable
women supervisors will be in charge Of q
brigade of irst-class hands, who will make
short work of this spring terror of house
cleaning.
Men alone are not competent; they have
not the quick eye for cobwebs, the holy
horror of moths and ants and other enemies,
the capacity for details, the pleasure
of bringing order out of chaos, Of
making house spick and span, and pure
and beautiful. They have not the taste Tor
neatness possessed by women. Their houses
of business show it. The windows go un-
washed for months the pavements are
coated with mud, the cutters may be full Of
old papers and trash, and yet it does not
occur to them how much nicer they would
look, nor how much sweeter would be their
surroundings, if they would "clean up" In
one OF our walks abroad we saw men stand
ing idly at shop doors, gazing at the passers-
by, while the sidewalks were covered with
Shiny mud, where the sweepings had filled
the cutters. and yet they stood gaping, ap-
parently unconscious of the disgusting ap-
pearance things presented on bright spring
day. 1t never seemed to occur to them that
the windows were filthy, although water was
plenty.

THE Use oF FLOWERS.

Flowers should be the only decorations

METEoRIc CAREER.

This woman was Carmencita. After a
spell of idleness, she accepted job at Kos
ter & Bial's garden. Of course, didn't
see her there, for that is not a ladies' resort.
Alter her appearance at the Broadway
Theater, next witnessed her poses and
gyrations in the parlor of Murray Hill
mansion. It was the hostess exploit at a
reception to give her guest, instead OF enter
tainment by vocalist or elocutionist, a
dance by this Spanish creature, whose skirts
reached to her ankles and whose terpsi-
chorean feats were altogether modest. That
she came direct from an alcoholic and dis
reputable garden gave extra zest to the ex-
hIbition.
Then the Sun took the notion to exploit
her in several columns of description and
pictures, the World and Herald each gave
similar space to her, and she became a
transitory fad. Roster & Bial have a con-
tract with her, and she cannot break it, il
indeed she wishes to, for her work there
seems to render her more fashionable in the
eyes of her polite spectators. Three or four
times a week since her sudden vogue began
she goes to the residence of some wealthy
family and gets 500 for half an hour of
exertion. If she 'ever, ever goes back to
Spain," as the song in 'The Gondoliers"
puts it, she will be much richer than she
could ever have dreamed of becoming by
means of her visit to America.

PANTALooNs VERSUS SKIRTS.

Men could do great deal of the house.
work in the world more easily than women,
because their dress is suited for it. The
skirts of the women are always a bar for
free movement. To climb a step ladder to
hang a curtain, one hand is always for the
skirts-to go up stairs skirts must be
clutched which leaves only one hand free.
Men can skip up and down without trammel.
They are also better adopted for heavy
work of moving carpets, heavy furniture,
and such work as requires strength. With
capable women to "boss' them they could
be drilled into frst-class hands at the busi-
ness. With thousands of men landing in
New York daily, with the hordes of idle
that are always, standing at the street
corners, it would seem as if their muscle
might be utilized in the heavy department
of housework it they could be taught TO do
it properly and thoroughly.
Mothers are much to blame for not train
ing their sons to habits of helpfulness at
home, which would make them better men
and more useful members of society. 1t GER
tainly cannot be considered the fair thing
for mothers and wives to 60 out to wash or
clean house by the day, and then go home
and cook supper for husbands and sons who
have stood on the streets for hours with their
hands in their pockets. We have In our
minds eye now mother over so years of
age who washes to support the family, while
an able-bodied son loats, and husband who
has not done stroke of work for two years,
while his wife earns the living and keeps
the house and helps the son. These men, and
such others, may claim they cannot get work,
but it Is not true. If nothing else they could
do the housework, but no, not hands turn
will they do at what they contemptuously
look upon as woman's work.

A FURTHER STEP IN ADVANCE.

That some relief may be expected from the
becomes palmer when Boston newspaper
advertises "House Cleaning Company"
who will undertake the job with trained and
reliable help in all branches at a saving for
hcusezeepers of time and money Ii this
can be done thoroughly and well without
tearing the curtains to pieces and wrecking
the furniture and doing the damage that is
now so common, it would bring about sec
ton of the long-hoped-ior millennium.
Another new notion that Is being preached
unto women on this subject is that the mo-
notony of housework-the daily round of
washing, ironing, baking and cooking are a
real hindrance to good health, and are not
the exercise that tends to the best physical de-
velopment. Where these are daily duties their
i'll effect should be warded off by variety
of movements that would counteract their
tendency to narrow the chest, to curve the
shoulders to ruin the digestion. That there
is much truth in this, every thoughtful
woman will admit. But the same is true of
the toilsome occupations of men. Then
comes the question how the ill effects of such
labor are to be lessened.
The men are moving for their own ad-
vantage physically and mentally by de-
mand for days work Of eight hours, thus
leaving more time for recreation and exer-
else that will broaden their chests and
counteract the i'll effects of monotonous toll
which usually develops some part of the
body at the expense of the other. But what
are the women going to do about this cut
ting down the hours Of labor?

Every attempt before her sister resulted in
failure. DIR. Emerson, president of the
school, strongly advised against these trials,
knowing what unsparing criticism Miss
Jenness would suffer from her brilliant
sister, and supplemented this advice by a
startling suggestion. It was that she should
give the inmates of the poor house weekly
reading. Nothing better shows the quality
of her spirit than her unhesitating compli-
ance with this advice.

course she was improved in health and was
graduated with honor. Miss Jenness now

A curious case of Unforeseen and fortunate
fashionableness is that of Carmeneita. A
spectacular play was produced at Broad
way theater last summer. The ballet was
good enough as to rank and file, but wotully
lacking In solo dancers. Instead of paying
the high salary necessary to import a new
and really frst-rate danseuse, a much
cheaper investment had been made in a
young Spanish woman, who was unique in
posturing, whirling and writhing, but she
was no adept in her art. 1t was hoped that
tine singularity Of her performance would
make of her an acceptable substitute for the
costlier conventional article. But it did

Sell at Home.

When wool was shipped east, the
returns were seldom satisfactory.
Now nearly all the wool is sold at

and the result is that prices are Salts

sales at the great market centers may
do, but on a settled OF declining mar
ket sales at home are certain to give
more satisfaction. We remember in
Indiana when cattle buyers visited
the farmers and purchased all the
cattle that were for sale, and it seems
to us if stockmen would hold their
cattle prices would be better. When
cattle are once OIL the cars the owners
have lost control of them. They
must sell them at what some buyer
chooses to give. Before that they
can hold them a few weeks, at any
rate. Cattle at the stockyards are at
the mercy of the buyers. If the maj.
ket is well supplied or o~verstocked,
the buyers have it all their own way,
and the seller must take what he can
get. AT home the shippers could see
the cattle and know how they would

The Dakota Cow.

1t is conceded that the average
Dakota COW will give Is pounds of
milk per day. Eighteen pounds of
milk per day for eight months, $40
days, equals 1890 pounds. Ten
pounds of milk is required for a
pound of cheese-432 pounds. The
average price of cheese per season,
is 10 cents, less the making and ship
ping, which would be about three
cents per pound, leaves ! by 432-
equals per COW, $30.24, besides a calf
and a pig worth at least $l5. One
man takes care of twenty cows and
puts up all fodder required. Five
men can do the work, for which the
product would amount TO about one
car load of cheese, or 10000 pounds,
equal to $4,000. 1t will cost the same
to ship a car load of wheat. A car
load of wheat, or four hundred and
fifty bushels, will bring about $270.
Would it not be we'll for the farmers
to consider this, as it is an expert
mental fact that the longer we raise
wheat and small grain the poorer We

Which Shall II Be-

There is perhaps no subject on
which people who delight to be smart
differ more than OH the proper pro-
nunciation of words, particularly
when taken from foreign languages.
The following jingle, written by one
of a jolly party which rode OF "The
Burlington" from Minneapolis to st.
Louis some time since, illustrates
the different RECOMMENDATIONS of

Hear the pilgrims joyful shout:
"The Burllngton's a dandy route,
Other lines we %henceforth shoot,
This is the only first-class route;
Rival claims we hereby scout,
None can please us but this route;
Locomotives never foot
Half so nice as on this route,
And the roadbeds hereabout,
All arc rough, except this route;
All in all beyond dispute.
The Burlington the banner route"

latitude for choice, but not on the
question whether sThe Burlington"
