The Women conductor..

Dickens certainly made a mistake
when he created Micawber of the mas
culine persuasion. Waiting for some
thing 20 turn UP" is a feminine charac-
t~eristic. And after all. isn't il true
that ''all things come 70 those who
waitr They do turn up for woman II
she waits long enough. Today. after
waiting forty years, she beholds 400 &C
equations open to her. Forty years
ago she did not need more than one
hand to count all the things she was
allowed 10 do for a living. But one of
the things she never did expect has
turned up, and this is the woman street
car conductor.
She gives perfect satisfaction, they
say, and she is certainly picturesque.
She wears a blue flannel uniform. a big
Panama straw hat and a long white
pinafore with frills and innumerabie
pockets. In the pockets she carries
tickets and change, while strapped over
her shoulder she carries a small leather
bag in which are the surplus money
and tickets She hands the passenger
who pays his fare a yellow ticket, which
be is supposed TO destroy. For all that
are missing she must hand over the
money.
II there be any she can't account for,
the money is deducted from her wages
of twenty-five dollars a month. OF
course this is not in New York, but it
may come some day, since women have
begun 10 enter service on the elevated
roads in Brooklyn. It is in Chill that
the pima conductor f1ourishes. After
the wal with Peru there was a surplus

An illustration Of the truth Of this
proverb is found in M. J. g. Bertram's
book, The Harvest Of the Sea- II
seems that a monopoly Of the extensive
fisheries OF Scotland and England once
came into the hands Of a man who kept
his agents az the principal stations, and
required them % furnish him all facts
that came TO their knowledge.
At one Of his stations in the far north
the fishing had been unsuccessful for
the greater part of the season, and
there was no prospect of improvement
whef he looked into the matter. Upon
examining his agents letters from that
place for some years back he found by
a comparison of dates that at a certain
place herrings were likely TO be found.
He accordingly instructed his agent to
send his boats TO thar spot.
The fishermen laughed at the idea of
a man sitting some hundreds of miles
Gway and telling them where TO get
fish: but as his orders were positive
they had to obey, and the consequence
vas that they returned next morning
loaded with herrings.
