Some Timely Suggestions to PhiIanthro-
pists.


plsts.
Statistics show that in New York there
are to-day 10000 women who not only
earn their own livings, but some Of them
support families as wei.
Another statement from a woman's
Journal says that there are 1000 women
I'm that city whose weekly wages average
from 81 to s.. and often less. They are
obliged to rent rooms and provide them
selves with fuel, clothing and the neces-
stiles of life from this munifcent salary.
Most Of these women sew by the day
or piece. A shirt hnisher gets seven cents
a dozen. For these pennies she puts on
four stays or gussets and sews on the
buttons and a ticket. Some firms allow
her ten cents n dozen. Women who finish
mems trousers for the manufacturers re-
ceive twelve cents pair The makers Of
linen busters are paid eight cents each.
The fault Of this is not perhaps so much
due TO the soulless corporations as II is
the unftness Of the laborer. Philanthropy
lists are beginning at the wrong end 10
reform the world. If. instead OF directing
so much energy toward reforming men
and women and encouraging charity by
providing for II they would bend their
efforts toward opening kndergartens,
kitchen gardens and industrial schools,
the amelioratlon OF the condition Of wo-
men would soon begin.

All lace embroidered DER;
With tiny feet, so dimpled sweet.

With wreathed smiles and baby wiles,
With mischief trimming Ger
All no, ah no, It is not so,
You surely. surely do not know
My baby.
He pulls YOU hair, nor does he care
How much the pain may be.
He waves his hands like fairy wands,
And jumps and crows with glee.
He loudly weeps, then gently sleeps
Upon his mothers knee.
All no, an no, Il is not 50,
You surely, surely cannot know
My baby.
A sailor brave, who rules the wave.
Nor fears the oceans roar;
He's kind and true, with eyes OF blue,
That twinkle evermore,
He loves his home, though he may roam
Upon a distant shore,
All yes, an yes, come now, cofess,
Unless you knew, how could you guess

Though winds may tan this bearded man,
And time may burrows plough;
Though LIES rude shocks bring silver

To crown his noble brow;
Though years may so and come. I know
He'll still remain as now.
On land or sea he'll ever be.
From time until eternity,

Years quick with joy and slow with
wrong
Have each May and as she quaffs
Springs trimming cup her careless SONG
Stirs the wild woodland till it laughs.
The pulse OF pleasure thrills the world,
The orchard riots into bloom:
Each sunbeam, in a flower impaired,
is coined swiftly to perfume.
The west winds breath is silver spun,
The sapling swells its silky bark:
The young wheat ripples TO the sun,
The brook forgets the icy dark.
Save when. at evenings hallowed hush,
That minstrel OF the minor key.
The sweet, shy, dapple-breasted thrush.
Remembering, sings. sad heart. to thee
And from her mad, glad carnival,
By some low mound In earth's sweet
bosom,
Spring pauses, while her tear drops fall,
Each turning TO fragrant blossoml
All, soul of man, own gift OF heaven.
When field and flower and brook forget
To thee. 10 thee alone, is given
The tender rapture Of regret!

Discussion on tho Causes OF Frequent

Discussion on tho Causes OF Frequent
Change.
1 heard a discussion between two men
and three women in a drawing room the
other afternoon which amused me. says
the Pail Nall Budget The subject was
womens dress, and the glst Of IL was
the old, old argument, why such constant
changes were necessary 10 the we'll
dressed women. One OF the men
was reasonable-or we thought him So
6Ld attributed the continued changes to
the Vaccinations OF the trader who would
find but comparatively small sale for
his goods were dresses cut on one pat
tern and made Of just a few materials.
But the other declared with great We
hemence that the whole reason was wo-
mans own changeableness, her objection
to wear the same garment more than a
certain number OF times, and SO on and
so on. And so we wrangled on, the wo-
men having the best OF il in vehemence
and yolublllty, though I fear their logic
was q trihe shaky. AS to the beauty OF
women's dress. we we're told by one Of
our male critics that between the four
tenth century and last year there had
been no single period when women's cos
tunes were really graceful.
The year 1892 was however, this au-
thority declared, a remarkable exception.
Dresses were really admirable and he was
only surprised that, having by some won
derful piece OF good luck arrived at DO
desirable an epoch in the history OF cos
tune, We could not be content to remain
there, but must rush of at tangent In
to the hideous and ungainly fashions OF
the SO's. In this direction 1 found my
self warmly supporting the speaker. for
I have invelghed over and over again
in these columns against the powers that
had determined to again introduce the
garb worn by our grandmothers In their
youthful days.
Whether there really have been no
