ABOUT one-fifth Of all males in Massa-
chusetts average less than 81 per day.
The females working at this low scale OF
wages comprise 72.94 per cent. Of all tho
workers. No intelligent reader will fail
to realize what this fact means. As the
scale of wages rises the number OF fe-
males enjoying them grows steadily less.
Of total Of 1881 workers receiving geo
a week and over, only 268 are females.
The figures simply show that in the en-
Payments in which the very lowest
wages are paid women constitute over
70 per cent. of the workers, while in the
employments where as high as $50 o
week are paid they constitute hardly
over per cent.
In addition to all this is the humiliating
fact that in the same occupations, stand
ing side by side with men, the females
are paid less wages for the same work;
or, what amounts to the same thing, a
woman of 90 years or upward is made to
work side by side with boy of 10 at the
same wages. Women are compelled,
then, to fill most of the cheap places,
and paid less wages for the same work
at that. We have no hesitation in saying
that this is an indefensible injustice, and
one SO gross as to shame civilization.
Why do legislators sit passively under
such determinations of sex in the matter
of work and wages? Simply because
they know that the women carry no
votes, and that mere sentiment. however
just, can neither seat nor unseat poll
tician. But it will not always be thus.

An Odd Bird That Like. Fishing.

and are easily recognized by peculiar,
quick, jerking motion, which they never
seem to tire of. And as they fit from
rock to rock they are continually bob
bling up and down, performing such q
polite little courtesy as would cause you
to smile to see it.
Owing to their peculiar habits and the
isolated spots they select to build their
nests no one but the most ardent sports
men and naturalists succeeds in finding
them. Hence water ousel's nest. with
two of their eggs in it, has commercial
value among nest collectors of $25. They
always build their nests just back Of

ing bank, where they have to go through

Through age long wash Of summer rains
As purple as with vintage stains;

A crescent sail upon the sea
So calm and fair and ripple free
You wonder storms can ever be;

With mountain eyes that seem to hold

There are probably few stations on the
Maine Central system where the heating
arrangements are more perfect or more
faithfully attended to than at the one in
this city. No matter what be the hour,
by day or BY night, whenever one
has occasion to be at any of the
rooms in any of the buildinY, he al
ways finds them comfortable. The heat
is from steam pipes ard radiators connect
ed with big boiler set in q building near
the station proper, and besides beating all
the buildings, connection can be made
with the cars which are fitted with the
Sewall system. at two points in the yard.
Speaking in . general way, everything
seems to be arranged about the Waterville
station with view to conveuisnce both for
the employees of the company and
the patrorizing public. A great many
people arrive and depart at this place every
year, and quite proportion of them either
stop off for longer or shorter periods, or
change from one train to another. All of
them are pleased with the appearance of
the city. what they can see of it. and they
remember and remark upon it afterwards.
