Girls In Trade,

Every one knows that the retail trade ii
given up to women clerks, but how mucl
the Wholesale and jobbinQ trades?
Go through the dry goods district any af-
ternoon just after six O'Clock. 1t is sur
prlsing to see how many girls pour out Of
the dinRy buildings when the porters are
bringing out the window wickets and the
pondetous doors are slamming shut. They
are not employed as saleswomen of course,
1t is still a manly pursuit to entertain the
coy rural customer when be ia in town, and
weedle the orders for goods from his rsluc-
tant pen. But women tvpewrite the let
tiers and do much Of the purely clerical
work. They keep books and act as cash
iers. They have crept into most depart
ments of the business, beginning with the
stenographio work.
If women m%onopollze the oasy work of
the stores, men will awe to get out of doors
and do something healthier, which will be
q very bad thing for the women, but a very
good thing for the men.
II l were a woman I would rather raise
cabbages.

A Marvel OF Mechanism,

Old Gutenberg, Faust or Caxton would
probably doubt his senses evidence if he
could see a modern Inset press"
don't believe II triumph of mechan-
ism ever surpassed the printing machine of
1891. 1t is 90 big and complicated and
marvellous that people got past calling it a
'pfess' long ago and adopted the longer
title. Press was a good enough word for
Gutenberg, who really did put his sheets of
paper under a press and apply tho pressure
by n screw or lever. Nowadays the pressmau
runs his paper in it ct one end of his ma
chine, winding it off a huge spool; at the
other end it energies printed, pasted, folded
and ready for delivery, and this at the rate
of 10000 or 10000 or more copies per honr.
The London Times at ono time set its
matter up tn co or four times over for as
many type presses, to get out it's edition.
The invention of stereotyping machinery
was a Tremendous advance. There are pa
pers which run six, eight or even ten presses
at once. making all the plates from single
forms of type.
The inset press, the latest development Of
the p~rinters' art, IL n giant. 1t stands high,
broad and long upon its brick-walled pit, a
marvel of intricate machinery. BY chang
ing its tapes and rollers and folding knives
1t will print four, six, eight, ten or twelve
pages vt once and deliver the complete pa
Der pasted and folded at the end of the ma
chine. Its roar il like the drumming of an
1-.cs" 81 pfrGdges. Sight il not more
quick than its motion, tho intricate ma
"hinery of a great telescope not more &C
curate and perfect than its wheels and cogs
and pulleys and mixing rollers.
You can pay $40. 900 or $4,000 for one of
these monsters, where 5000 or $500 will buy
a very respectable press for a country week
~. But the greater machine ia worth the
difference.
so rapid has been the improvement in
presses that nothing can be bought moro
cheally than an old one. A press which
was one of the best ten years ago 10 worth
less now. If it WAS new five yenrs aGo or
four. 1t may b ing n ANAL part of it's former
price. The live newspapers must keep up
with the times. A daily gain Of n few min
utes III getting out tho edition is worth
spending many thousands to accomplish.

Magazines and Books.

Are magazines books or are they monthly
newspapers?
In other words, do people read magazines
and throw them away, or do they bind and
preserve them? That was the question !
asked of the superintendent of the binding
department. of one of the big illustrated
magazine Offices. He told ME that only 1C
per cent. of the magazines they sell come
back to be bound.
Fifty years ago, when books were deurer
and newspapers less encyclopedia, nearly
all the magazines were bound for pres
ervation, though much less worth it than
nov.
Why wouldn't a bound newspaper file be
handy for any private family2

Tho Cash was Short,

The other day the ~bookkeepsr in n small
mercantile establishment here, while striv-
ing to get a balance, made the remark in
the hearing of the proprietor that his cash
WAS short. He couldn't balance.
The proprietor gla,ed at him n moment
and retorted, well, why don't you look il
M in the safe every night then? What ia n
safe for, I'd like to know"

twenty-five years ago. When ono falls un
tenantsd ii goes to rack and ruin fast. The
largest are all vacant. One prcten tious
mansion, built by some one with a taste for
solitude, is rotting away like the wharf be-
fore it, and campers fry fish on the beach
in front. The Palisede Mountain house
stood on top Of the bluff ton years ago, and
was reached by q lovely road zigzagging up
the face of the cliff, bridging a pretty
brawling brook. It burned down and has
never been replaced, and it's landing wharf
is rotting.
My first acquaintance with this region Of
silence included as one Of its features a
negro family living in a low hut under a
great willow tree. The hut burned down
that winter and was never replaced. The
cellar leaves scarcely a trace in the ground
now, like 20 many others up and down the
1t and the spring is a pitfall for the unwary,
overgrown by thick grass.
Last Sunday a party of pickniokers rowed
across tho river, built a great roaring fire
and left it to burn dry grass and trees IN

fourth ward of New York. No one inter

such q wilderness within a mile of it. Per-
haps New York will not nave it long, for a
railroad il threatened. But until il comes
the same difficulties Of transit which have

must overrun it in the end, drive the rab-
bits out Of their hiding places in tho rocks,
root up the laurel, cut the great trees, dry

On the Telegraph nusiness They Marry

Not long ago a new telegraph service

was a long way behind tho times in It's
method Of communication and every.
thing else, and tho establishment Of
postal telegraph stations all round the
island was looked upon a. inaugurating
a more hopeful and progressive era.
The chief Of the department found that
women were cheaper than men, 80 the
stations were placed In charge OF a
bright and promising corps Of def
wristed young ladies, who took kindly

thing went smoothly
