Why DO Women Work.

From Jenness Miller Monthly.
why do women work." asks Walter
Besant, and then ne replies that there are
six principal reasons:
1. Because their intellectual activity will
not allow them to rest at home. Such a
woman, for instance, was George Eliot.
There are intellectual openings for them in
every direction. A woman of this kind may
study medicine, science, history; she may
teach as we'll as study; she may write;
she may become journalist or an editor;
she may lecture. Any of these lives is bet
ter to such brain than the old-fashioned
social round and domestic duties, the en-
broidery, the piano playing, and the small
arts. These are the happy workers; but
these are not the average.
z. Because they must earn money some
how. Among these are the unhappy work.
ers, the unwilling workers. who miss the
life they would prefer.
3. Because they want to make little more
money for dress or for spending.
4. Because they have taken I'D a cause.
and feel called upon to speak, act. write
and work for 1t.
5. Because they have become advanced"
women, and they want, above all things,
to show that they are as good as the men.
g. Because their home lives are SO deadly
dull an unsocial, and lonely and vacuous,
that they want change.

A Millionaire Bricklayer.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Considerable comment was caused last
night in the viciaity Of 18th and Spruce
streets by a bricklayer clad in a high silk
hat, Prince Albert coat. with trousers and
vest to match. He wore a heavy gold
chain. large, valuable gold watch. had a
diamond ring on each hand and large dia.

layer with the peculiar attire was assisting
another man in the garb Of the laborer In
repairing a brick sidewalk in front of No.

longs to the Chouteau estate, and 1t IL
said the man Is q member Of that family
and worth a million. By assisting in the
work Of repairing, the man saved the price
Of another laborer, probably 81 for the
nights work. He is about sixty years old

dome. With the installation of the electric
plant it will be possible to illuminate the

thus make Of this beautiful structure one Of
the most magnificent spectacles in the coun-

The questions of installing this new plant
came up very casually at recent meeting
Of the House committee on appropriations
when Gen. Casey was present. He was
asked what he had estimated to be the
capacity Of the electric lighting plant which
he proposed to establish in the library build
ing. He answered that he had given this
matter no thought whatever and could not
give an estimate. The matter was then
dropped and nothing definite was done.

which are now sadly in want of ilumina-
