A Comfortable Living by Begging.

THE SURPLUS r
4 Matter in Which We Are Not Doing

st. Louis Republic.

st. Louis Republic.
The tendency of an increasing population
is nearly always to an overproduction-Or
at least to what Is generally considered an
Oy"erprOductiOn-of girls, and the result Is
a problem which has been the cause OF
much veXatious and unsatisfactory thinking
in all ages.
The Chinese have a solution which they
look on as final. but in many other coun-
throwing super1luouS girl babies into the
river that it can hardly operate with the
same success which attends 1t in China
AS they are not thrown into the river
they grow up. and then they must get a
living in some way. This has occurred to
Lady Emily Dixie and has moved her to
make ar investigation Of the condition.
The picture she draws in the Fortnightly
Reyiew is a gloomy one She concludes
supremacy is the cheap labor of women
and girls, and she is also Of the opinion
that the results of setting the women and
girls to work to exc out the earnings of the
head Of the family "are simply suicidal"
It is no doubt true that the success of En-
glish manufactures depends largely on the
cheap labor Of women and girls, and we
venture to say that it is to some extent true
OF every successful manufacturing country,
States, which are notorious for their over
production Of girls.
1t is not necessary to dwell on the evils
incident to any industrial system which re-
lies mainly on such labor. They are appar-
ent. But the umpti that they outweigh
the benefits is rash, indeed.
The increasing employment of women and
girls in production means that through the
advance Of civilization, resulting in the in
vention of highly improved machinery, work
can now be done by women that was for
merly far beyond their strength. When one
girl can operate a machine that will do the
work OF five fully developed men it is use
less to expect that the five .len will be en-
ployed in place of the one girl and the ma
chine.
1t is also illogical and short-sighted to
look on the Improvement in machinery
which increases the demand for female
labor as an evil itself.
The English or the German peasant girl
who works on the farm does much harder
and more brutalizing labor than the girl of
the factory. Many evils attend the employ
ment Of girls in operating machines. No
father who can support his daughters should
allow them to go into a factory. The girl
is most fortunate who can afford to grow
up with no other business than that Of
housewife" But as all are not supreme
ly fortunate. 1t is well to recognize that
what may seem an unmixed evil may be
really a minor benefit.
1t is better for girls to work in factories
and stores than to be thrown into the river,
as happens to them in China, or to be
Obliged to use the mattOck and spade in the
fields. as they do in Europe.
We are not doing nearly as we'll as we
might in this matter or in any other, but
still we are doing a great deal better than
professional pessimists are capable Of un-
d~erstanding.

Cleanliness is an essential feature OF the

for where there are so many OF them, they
eat UP every scrap of food, every bit of

When the men appear with their wheel

ceive their food. I asked one Of the men
