A GREAT oBJECT-LESsoN.

The Worlds Fair VIII Show What Won.
en- Are Doing In the Industrial World.
A Chicago morning paper in speak
ing editorially of New York daily
that has declared against women be-
coming bread winners, puts the case
clearly and concisely when it says:
''lnasmuch as women have an unreal
sonable fancy for food and clothing, it
would be interesting to know what our
contemporary proposes to do about it
Will it agree to marry all the spinsters
in the world? viii it support them as
they are or will it let them starve?"
This is the whole thing in nutshell.
There is mighty multitude of women
who have no means of support but
their own effort They can not be sent
with McGinty to the bottom of the sea
in this humanitarian age. In the mean
time the law of the survival of the
fittest continues its undertaking opera
tons whether we object or consent,
and women, against all reason and ira
dition, arg surviving in large numbers.
Evidently enlightenment on this sub
iect is moving from west to east. At
the present moment the thousands of
entry blanks already received at the
Columbian exposition headquarters
show that very few of the articles en-
tered for exhibition have been wholly
made by men. These blanks reveal
that women's work has become an inn
portant factor in almost every line of
the worlds every day activity. Her
work has now passed far beyond the
line of experiment 1t is not play
grave or gay, but is as serious as any
thing in life. 1t is in fact the struggle
for existence. There is no doubt that
the great object lesson which the
Worlds fair will afford on this particu-
lar question is greatly needed, and will
result in eliminating a deal of dense
ignorance on the subject That woman
in her progress toward the individuality
that man has already gained will repeat
his mistakes is what may be expected,
as, unfortunately, experience is not
gained vicariously. But that she will
not fail utterly, but will become in fact
as she is in name-man's companion
is demonstrated beyond a peradventure,
although those who are not possessed
of IAN open mind" do not yet realize it

Give Them Fair Play.

A California paper says that "a prom
inent female lecturer, who is now in
the west, keeps an eye steadily on the
main chance in her prices of admis-
Sion"
Why should she not keep her eye
steadily on the main chance? We see
no reason why she shouldn't. We know
of no male lecturer who does not get all
that he can, to the last fraction, for his
lectures. We thought this old idea Of
infnitesimal wages for women was dy.
ing out with the increase of enlighten-
ment With SO few remunerative ave-
nues of employment open to women, he
must be very narrow or very heartless
who would hedge up the path of any
woman pursuing an honest calling, al
though she should be receiving mans
wages. Fair play, gentlemen. There
are women enough who have gone ire
trievably down from Encouragement
and poverty. If, porchance, one bravely
gets her head above water, why should
she not be allowed to keep it there?

ABOUT LEECHes.
How They Are Caught and Dappscd Of
to Merchants.

to Merchants.
Beyond the fact that the leeches used
in medical practice are costly little
black reptiles, with q fcrocious appetite
for blood, few of us know much abort
them. Leech-catching is, however
quite an extensive business in some
parts of France, Spain, Italy, Russia
and England, and of late years has
been prosecuted on large scale in the
valley of the Nile and Australia. The
process of taking them is neither health
full nor agreeable. Leeches affect stag.
nant and shallow waters, and wherever
they abound there assure to he plenty Of
intermittent fever. In catching them,
the Levitical law of blood for blood"
is literally fulfilled The fishers wade
into the pools with naked legs, and, MS
fast as the creatures bite, they pick
them off and deposit them in bags
strapped round the waist like the
anglers 'creel" The leech-catcher is
always deplorable-looking object
hollow-eyed, livid and emaciated. Half
the life is, in fact, drained out of him
by the succubi which furnish him with
his daily bread. He sells them by the
pound-the average number of leeches
to the pound being about seven hun
bred. The Wholesale leech-merchant,
however, disposessof them by the num-
Der to the retailer, realizing one or
two hundred per cent. on first cost, and
the retailer puts on at least one hun
dred per cent. more so that by the time
they reach the sick room they are very
expensive articles. The wholesale mer-
chant pays two or three cents apiece
for his leeches; the invalid to whom
they are applied, from twenty cents to
one dollar, according to the supply OF
blood-suclSers in the market. In France
the leech-ponds and marshes are FREE
quently farmed out to spectators at
an annual rental, and the lessees en-
ploy large numbers of men as fishers.
Most of these poor fellows die pre-
maturely, either from loss of blood or
way hundreds of healthy men are
sacrificed that the sick may be relieved.
If the hom9opathists are right, the
game is not worth the candle.
Paris is the great market for these
npleasant-looking vermiculars. at
GENTLY, near that city, there is an es-
Enlistment furnished with reservoirs
fifty feet long by thirty feet wide, the
bottoms Of which are unctuous clay.
In these receptacles immense quanti-
ties of leeches are kept at all seasons Of
the year The entire supply furnished
annually by Europe, Asia, Egypt and
Australia is estimated at about twenty
millions. For expectation. they are
usually placed in tubs half-filled with
clay and covered with wire gauze.
There is no scarcity of leeches in this
country, as,every boy who has been in
the habit of bathing in our fresh water
streams and ponds is well aware; but
| the common American "blood-sucker''
is not the lcech of the materia medica,
although it is sometimes used as a
| depletent when the better kind is un-
procurable. Upon the whole it is quite
probable that the world is leeched as
well as governed ''over-much. IN. Y.

SUICIDE OF A HORSE.
A Clear Case of n Brute Taking It's Ow

A Clear case OF n Brute TaklnK itS OWN
Life.
A clear case of equine suicide was
witnessed recently on Fifteenth street,
in front of the treasury. An over
worked horse, in the act of ascending
the. steep hill at this place, fell to the
ground overcome by the heat. For
some time he struggled in weak, i'm
potent agony and then the driver, de-
sisting in his efforts to get the horse on
his feet for the purpose of finishing his
work, sent off message to the HUI
name society for the animal ambu-
lance. BY the time the ambulance ar
rived the horse was suffering most ter
rible tortures and was clearly attempt
ing to put an end to his misery and his
life at the same time. There, are but
few means of committing suicide at
the disposal of the average horse,
and this one was no better off than the
others of his class He attempted TO
accomplish his purpose however, by
smashing out his brains on the asphalt
pavement. Rising on hts knees, he
would dash his head against the pave
ment with thwack that could be
heard for half square. Time after
time he repeated this, until those stand
ing near turned sick and faint They
were powerless to aid the animal, as
his efforts to kill himself rendered him
dangerous in his savage temper, and
soon he was left towork out his own
destruction. tffts ttf.&
1t was twenty minutes before the
animal ambulance arrived, and when il
did the horse was nearly dead, Agent
Key. who was with the ambulance, did
what he could to aid the animal, but
aid was unavailing. The suffering
brute rose to his feet, and with one
wild effort dashed his head against the
curbstone. A second later he was
dead. Baltimore American. +
