All things else being equal, women
certainly have reason to complain of
one rank injustice, to which the mere
fact of her sex subjects her, and that is
the amount of labor she is required to
perform tC earn the same money that
man makes. Suppose she works by
the week, she puts in always as many
hours as man, and often more, for she
has fatal facility for bringing up 1.-THE
unconsidered tritleS" that are beneath
the notice of the average man, but that
are often of great Importance in bust
ness way. For all this extra care she is
considered we'll paid by surly thank
you, or cool ignoring of her labors.
Equal pay for equal work should be the
MOTTO of every chivalrous man who has
a voice in the decision of such matters.
A bright woman in the New York
Ledger talks this way on the subject:
Il see you have new bOokkeeper,"
said lady to the proprietor of large
mercantile establishment.
"Yes," he replied; "we thought we
would try woman. We have lots of
trouble with our man fbookkeepers.
They are apt to stay out late nights, and
when they do, they come here in the
morning so stupid and out Of temper
that it is impossible to do anything with
them; besides. sometimes they indulge
IN petty gambling and other eXtrava-
CANT vices, and are often short OF
money. This leads them to overdraw
their salary if we permit them to do SO,
ana have people running here with
bills, or did until We made it rule that
the first man who had a bill sent here
we would try a woman"
The lady smiled. Here was a chance.
"How do you like her?"
'Capltal!" was the reply. ''She's
clear-headed, obliging. always on time,
neat and tidy, and attends to her busi-
ness"
Quite an array of virtues. You evil
IDENTIFY haven't lost anything by the eX-
changer"
Indeed we haven't. She's worth one
and half of the man we had"
docs she get one and half times as
much salary?' was the next inquiry.
The man colored little and fdgeted
little more. Evidently that was not
such an agreeable question.
"WeIl. no." he said. eve never pay
women as much as we pay men,"
why not? You say she does her
work much better"
"Oh, well, it isn't the custom; that's
ALL" said the man.
He turned away, evidently not anxious
to prolong the conversation.
And this is a regular state of things.
Because she is a woman, she must take
about two-thirds of the pay given to a
man, though, according to the employ
er's own confession. she is worth one
and half of the man whose place she
takes. This is rather questionable
comment on the justice of the average
business man, and might furnish the
text for good many interesting dis
courses.

WOLVES IN IND IA.
The VOracious Animals Show AL
most Human Cunning in Their
Plane

Plans.
Pearson's Weekly.
One strongly marked characteristic
common to dogs and wolves is their
skill in trailing and running down
game in couples or packs. Such a
wolf hunt In India is described by an
English traveller, who, while with his
telescope watching herd of antelope
feeding in large field, observed six
wolves evidently concerting how best
to secure their breakfast.
Having decided on their plans of
campaign they separated, leaving one
stationary. Four crept stealthily round
in ambush at each corner, while the
sixth crept through a furrow in the
middle of the field, and there lay down
unobserYed.
When all were thus posted, the first
wolf suddenly showed himself,
and, charging the antelopes, drove
them right across the great field, where
they were headed by another wolf.
who chased them in fresh direction,
while the first hunter lay down to rest.
No sooner had the frightened herd
reached the further end of the plain
than up sprang a fresh wolf, who again
turned them and took up the pursuit,
leaving his painting accomplice to take
breath preparatory to another chase.
Thus the luckless, terrified antelopes
were driven from corner to corner Of
the great plain, till stupefied and ex-
hausted they crowed together, gallop-
ing in ever-lesseuing circles around
the center of the field, where the sixth
wolf lay hidden, evidently waiting un-
til they should be so effectually tired
out as to fall an easy prey.
His calculations were, however, at
fault, not having reckOned OH the
human presence, and just as he was
preparing for the fatal spring a we'll
directed shot proved fatal to the near
est wolf, whereupon all the confed-
crates took the hint and scurried off
with all possible speed.

WORK AS WELL AS PRAY,
Philadelphia Clerk Urged to Wage
inI

Philadelphia Clerk Urged to Wage
Material War Against Cholera.
Philadelphia Record.
The keenest interest was manifested
by the Protestant Episcopal Convention
of Pennsylvania, at st. Luke's church,
yesterday, in the radical address OF
Bishop Whitaker as to churchmen'S
imperative obligations in view of the
Threatened epidemic of cholera the
coming summer. The bishop said:
The possible manifestation of chol-
era in the United States is now 4 source
of anxiety from which no one can be
wholly free. The danger is no doubt
increased by the relaxation of the
stringency of the quarantine regula-
tions which had been established, and
IN our city by the peculiarly favorable
conditions existing for its rapid develop
ment should it once appear. Having
these fdcts in mind, set forth a few
weeks since prayer to be used in our
churches, in which. after referring to
the instructions which God gave 10 the
chosen people in the wilderness for
preserving health and preventing COM
tagion, there follows this petition.
Give US wisdom to do all that in us
lieth to avoid this plague Have we
considered what we can do and are we
doing it? The cholera is dirt disease.
1t is born of foulnesS. 1t thrives In
filth.
1--WE cannot at once produce any
change III our water supply. But we
can make every foot of ground over
which we have control clean. We can
free the houses in which we live from
the intrusion of noXiOus gases by means
of perfect plumbing. We can insist
upon the enforcement of the city ordi-
nances respecting cleanliness so far as
the houses which we own or i'll which
we live are concerned.
But there is larger part of the city
the owners and residents of which are
either too ignorant or too selfish or too
poor to care for, and these districts are
the seat of danger. There ought to be
ignorant of sanitary conditions.
1.-The influence of a strong public
opinion should be brought to bear upon
the executive of our city government
for the enforcement of the law. We
should insist that streets where our
poorest people live shall be kept as
clean as Chestnut and Broad.
II submit to you, my brethren of the
clergy, whether you will have done all
that i'll you lieth to avert so great a
plague until you shall have brought
this subject before your people and
pointed out to them their duty, and en-
couraged them by your example to do
it. l recommend that in ever church
sermon be preached next Sunday, or
the Sunday following, upon this general
subject, with such local application as
the preacher may deem advisable.

New York Sun.
Mrs. William B. Scott, of Bridgeport t,
Conn.,, who was seriously injured early
on Friday morning by a combination
folding bed and wardrobe, which shut
UP while she and her husband were
asleep, has not recovered as quickly as
her friends have wished. Mrs. Scott
retired at o'clock on Thursday night.
She was i'll and bolstered herself in a
sitting position at the head of the bed
and went to sleep. Mr.. Scott went to
bed at II o'clock without arousing his
tilted toward the ceiling when he got
in. but being very tired, paid no atten-
ton tG it, and soon dropped off to sleep.
About 4 o'clock on Friday morning
Mrs. Scott was awakened by crash
and felt a heavy weight strike her back.
She was bent nearly double. Mr.. ScUtl
hadToled over, and the iron catch that
holds the bed rigid was broken.

He managed TO get his mouth to an
opening Oh the side, however, and called
to the servant girl, who sleeps in the
hali, only few feet from their room.
She tried to lift the wardrobe, u but could
not, and mad to summon the people who
live up stairs in the house. Mr.. Scott
was taken out first, and sank exhausted
to the floor. When they finally raised
the wardrobe to slanting position Mrs.
Scott was UNCONSCIOUS, having tainted

revived with difficulty, and for time
it was feared that the accident would
result fatally. Mr. Sect says. that they

1t was with vague sense of shame
that Paxton went into the sitting room

yet he was at fault. He couldn't under
stand it. They read, verse by verse, in

They sang an, ,old-fashioned hymn, and
Paxton caught himself reverencing the
pure serenity of his mothers face as she
quavered the lines:

of two families each can't dry i'll the
backyard and or the roof on the same
day, and the Monday prejudice is very
strong, landlords have had to erect
huge telegraph poles in the rear of fiat
houses, from which poles lines are oper-

tenn also affords the additional pleasure
of near view of the number and char
acter of your neighbors' family wash.

for woman doing Just as her neighbors
do and what all women III the civilized
world do and have been doing for
hundreds of years.

PUTTING ON AIRS.
1t Is Never Safe Unless You Are
Sure Of Yourself.

Boston Courier.
1t is never wise, it is never kind, to
''put on airs and when those persons
who endeavor to clothe themselves in
vast superiority come to grief, it is sell
dom that they succeed in obtaining any
special sympathy In their discontinue.
A we'll known American artist was last
summer sketching in the galleries of
the Louvre in Paris. Being at work he
had, of course, something the appear
ance of being habitue of the place,
and as such he was several times ad-
dressed by the visitors.
On one occasion he was approached
by a couple of ladies, one of whom
| asked:
"Cany GU tell US where to find the
statue OF Cupid and"
She paused, in the evident hope that
he would help her out, but he had
heard the name Psyche pronounced in
so many ways that he was curious to
see what would be made of it now. The
visitor, finding that he would not pro-
nounce the name, turned appeallngly
to her companion, and the other lady
said with much DriskneSs:
"Why, of course you know; the fa-
DldIuC VI SuPAb viz PSAoOA
who is with him."
There was very different air about
the lady who one day haughtily said to
the artist:
"Will you be so kind as to direct me
to the statue of Catherine de Medici?'
1.-The statue of Catherine de Medlci?"
he repeated in some perpleXity. 81
don't remember such a statue"
The smile of the visitor was more
superior than ever as she replied:
'Oh, it is one OF the best-known
statues here. supposed that any artist
would know where it is to be found"
There was so much scorn in her ac-
cents as she pronounced the word
'artist" that the gentleman was at once
amused and annoyed.
81 am an artist" he said, "but can
not help you. unless it might be that
you have made mistake, and it is the
Venus de Medici you are looking for"
The expression which came over the
face of the superior questioner was both
ludicrouS and self-betraying.

THE HOUSE OF NEVER.

The house of never is built, they say,
Just over the hills OF the by-and-by.
It's gates are reached by devious way,
Hidden from all but an angels eye.
1t winds about ana in and out
The hills and dales to sever;
Once over the hills of the by-and-by,
And you are lost in the house Of never.
The house of never is filed with waits.
With Just-in-aminutes and pretty-soons;
The noise of their wings as they beat the
gates
Comes back to earth in the afternoons,
When shadows fly across the SKY
And rush-rCde endeavor-
To question the hills of the by-and-by
AS they ask for the house of never.
The house of never was built with tears,
And lost in the hills of the by-and-by
Are million hopes and million fears,
A baby's smile and womans cry;
The winding way seems bright today,
Then darkness falls forever,
For over the hills of the by-and-bv
Sorrow waits i'll the house of never.

Lunatics DO Not Shed Tears.

Ole of the most curious facts con-
nected with madness is the utter absence
of tears amid the insane. Whatever the
form of the madness, tears are conspicu-
Gus by their absence, as much In the de-
preston of melancholy or excitement Of
mania as in the utter apathy Of dementia.
If a patient in lunatic asylum be dis
covered in tears it will be found that it
eis one beginning to recover or an emo
tional outbreak in an epileptic who is
scarcely truly insane; while actual in
sane persons appear to have lost the
power of weeping, it is only returning
reason which can once more unloose the
fountains of their tears.
Even when lunatic is telling one in
fervid language how she had been de-
prived of her children, or the outrages
that have been perpetrated on herself,
her eye is never even moist. The ready
gush of tears which accompanies the
plant of the same woman contrasts
strangely with the dry-eyed appeal Of
the talkative lunatic. 1t would indeed
seem that tears give relief to feelings
which, when pent ur, lead to madness.
1t is one of the privileges Of reason to be
able to weep. Amid all the misery oil
the insane they find no relief In tears.
