Business Women.

1t was famous saying of Lord
ugham-thOugh attributed by him
TO somebody else unknOwn-that it was
the whole end of king, lords, and COM
mons, and of the whole machinery of
the state, to bring twelve good men to-
gether in a jury-box. In a similar way
1t was once said by an experienced
American lawyer that the most impor-
tant result of all the great recent
changes in the position of women-new
laws, new education, new professions
would be found in the creation of a
race OF business women, who would
look after their own money matters, in
stead OF trusting them utterly to men.
III is inevitable that this result must in
some degree follow. A race of women
brought up to read, write, and cipher,
to keep books and send business letters,
to study constitutional law and political
economy, to sit on school committees
and charity boards, to manage tene-
ment houses and prisons, to practice
law and me icine, and make their own
wills, cannot possibly remain in that
state OF pupllage which was once the
only natural condition of their sex.
Whether it is pretty or otherwise,
graceful or otherwise, race of business
women is upon us. For observe that it
is not needful that each individual
woman should do all these things in
person, or, indeed, any of them; the
most secluded woman still feels the
effect OF the general change, just as the
disturbance of the central waters of a
lake hnds its way at last, though in.
hnitesimally, into the remotest nook.
The social alteration is In the air, in
the newspapers, in the whole habit of
life. A prominent philanthropist in a
city OF hundred thousand inhabitants
once called my attention to the fact,
and proved it by comparison of docu.
ments, that whereas, forty years before,

A Most Despieable Man.

The man whom thoroughly and pos
itively hate, and against whom as type
| would warn young women, as the
board of health officers warn the public
against infection with scarlet fever
card, is the domestic tyrant, the man
who is bully in his own family, the
man who is hero at home and coward
among bigger men than he. When he
was boy, he loved to torture kittens.
trap rabbits and tease birds by breaking
up their nests and cracking their eggs.
But ayearling calf or sitting hen would
always make him run. Now he is a man.
he swears at his wife and nags her lie
away. He sends the cold chills down
the children's spines whenever his steps
draw nigh and is as pompous and big
feeling among the women folks and the
helpless boys and girls as a fussy old
turkey gobbler with his hens.
Fun can no more thrive where he is
than pansies can live in coal gas He is
civil to the black man who gives him his
dinner, to the boy-provided he is full
sized-who blacks his boots and to who
ever is richer and stronger than he, but
politeness for his wife was laid away
with his wedding garments, and he curses
his daughters and his sons for every
trifiing misdemeanor in way that would
rouse a newsboy to thrash him if he
spoke to the lad with equal insolence.-

A Western Tragedy.

The Saunterer has friend on the staff
of western newspaper with whom he
often exchanges interesting clippings.
The latest bit received at this Office was
the following, cut from small paper
published in North Dakota: The many
friends of Mrs. E. will be pleased to
learn that she is not in serious danger, as
the shock is not so severe as at first sup
posed. The particulars of the unfortu-
nate affair are interesting. 1t seems that
Mrs. E. while going up stairs saw a
mouse run behind barrel. Her cries
were heard by the hired man, who has
tened to the scene, armed with his gun
and followed by his faithful bulldog
Mrs E. then took courage and poked
the barrel with her broom. The mouse
ran out, the dog started in pursuit, the
hired man fired, the dog dropped dead,
Mrs. E. tainted, and the hired man,
thinking he had killed her, and that he
would be arrested for murder, took to
his heels and has not been heard of since.
The mouse escaped. boston Budget.

A Substitute for Sugar.

An industry still young, but unques-
ticnably with great mercantile future.
is that Of saccharine. a product of coal
tar. 1t is a substitute for sugar, has
none of its bulk and is so powerful that
il is 300 times sweeter. The history of
lis discovery is interesting.
In 1879 DR.. Constantine Fahlberp. n
Russian by BIRTH but who had been ed
tcated in Germany, became connected
with the Johns Hopkins university IN
baltimore There he conducted series
of experiments on the toluene sulpha-
indies. in order TO investigate their oxi-
dation products.
The outgrowth of this investigation
was the discovery Of saccharine. BY
oxidizing pure orthotoluene sulphamide
1t was found that it would yield a re-
markably sweet compound The amount
obtained, how ever, was too small to he
OF any practical value for manufactur-
ing purposes. The problem thenceforth
was to find other reactions which would
give better yield of the sweet body. A
long and exhaustive series of laboratory
experiments extending through several
years were necessary for the satisfac-
tory development of the chemical proc
ess of production
AS might be expected, discovery of
such practical utility had to run the
gauntlet of much hostile criticism. II
formed fruitful subject for discussion
in various scientific societies and Jour
nails. Attempts were made to show that
it was not only deleterious, but danger
Gus 1t is only fair to say however, that
these arguments seem to have been sue
cessfully controverted. An overwhelm-
ing mass Of expert testimony is recorded
in favor of saccharine. Eminent profess
ors, like Sir II. f. Roscoe in London
Leyden in Berlin. Paul in Paris, Won
Barth in Vienna and host of others
after thorough tests, have certified that
the effects Of saccharine upon the phys
ical and psychical functions of the brute
and human systems are entirely harm
less.
Saccharine in its pure condition is a
white powder. Various exclusive adj
vantages are claimed for it's use in the
arts, household and medicine. To emu
merate few: 1t is so small in bulk that
the saving in storage and freight is of
course very great its valuable antiseptic
qualities make it especially available in
preserving as well as sweetening articles
of food, such AZ jellies, fruits, etc. In the
distilling of brandies and liquors and in
the brewing of beer saccharine has been
used with signal success Mixed with
glucose, saccharine has sweetness equal
to the finest refined sugar. Further,
saccharine serves a distinctly medical
purpose. 1t is employed to disguise the
unpleasant taste of medicine and in the
preparation of medicated wines and 9TH
er cordials. 1t has also been highly in
dorsed as substitute for sugar for those
suffering from diabetes and from fat
ness Unlike sugar, it does not go to
form surplus nourishment Finally it
may be added that this highly concen-
trated sweetening substance requires
only a little intelligence to be successful
ly used in the household. Washington

How to Swear a Witness.

One of your contemporaries the
other day spoke of certain judge, not
100 miles away from this city, who re.
fused to swear witness until he re.
jected"a chaw of terbacky." He must
be blood relation of that other Judge
in the new state of Washington before
whom an soldier of our late civil
war appeared as a witness. "Hold up
your right ARM" said the judge. Cant
do it," "Why not?" "Got shot in
that arm" "Then hold up your left. +"
" Can't do that nayther-got shot in
t'other one, too" "Then hold up
leg. No man can be sworn in this
court without holding up something. -
