Out of Work.

At rough estimate 10000 young wo,
men were thrown out of employment the
last Of the year from the reta.i dry goods
stores of New York city. One firm alone
dismissed 100 women and girls and an
other 700. These unfortunate little mar
tyrs of commerce and circumstances
were for the most part "extras," hired
in November and December for the holi-
day trade at salaries that barely paid for
car fare, lunches and the, wear and tear
OF clothing. One manager, when ap-
preached on the subject, said; II was
ashamed to tell a girl who wanted an en-.
gagement the wages, and 80 dismissed
her 1t was less than her living would
cost, And yet, what can do? II wo-
men offer to come here to clerk for fifty
cents day why should / offer her $12"
The trouble is women do not proper
ly value themselves. They are alone in
the world, dependent on their own en-
ergies; they want chance, q footing, an
opening anything that will enable a
beginning. In their desperation they
will work for almost nothing, and once
in position, have not the bravery to
assert themselves by properly valuing
their services. Time goes on, the star
walton wages are accepted, and not only
does the individual suffer, hut the whole
community of labor is affected by the
lower standard Of resulting prices.

Maurice de Guerin and His Sister.

Five years before the volume con-
tanning the journal, letters and
poems Of Maurice de Guerin was
published, the public had learned to
know his sister Eugenie and delight
in her wonderful letters. Indeed,
Sainte-B -Beuve thought her genius
equal, if not superior, to her broth
er's; but Matthew Arnold, to whom
the English speaking world is in
debted for first introduction to the
brother, says;
No one has more profound re-
spect for M. Sainte Beuve's critical
judgments than have; but it seems
to me that this particular Judgment
needs to be a little explained and
guarded In Maulice'sspecial talent,
which was a talent for interpreting
nature, for finding words which in
comparably render the subtllest i'm
preston which nature makes upon
us, which brings the intimate life Of
nature wonderfully near to us, it
seems to me that his sister was by
no means his equal She never, in
deed, expresses herself without grace
and intelligence; but her words,
when she speaks Of the life and ap-
pearances of nature, are in general
but intellectual signs they are not
like her brothers symbols equiva-
lent with the thing symbolized.

CHAPTER VII.

One morning not long after this, Jim

me very much and contrasted fayorably
in point of style with his epistolary efforts.

A gentleman who had lived for a
considerable time out of the country
died apparently few days after his
return. 1t was alleged that his de-
cease had followed slspiciously near
the eating Of q pudding prepared BY
his stepmother. She was hence ar
rested and charged with his murder.
The grave was opened for the pur-
pose Of making an analysis Of the
contents Of the mans stomach. 1t
was then discovered that the man
had turned completely over in his
coffin and was lying on his face. He
had been buried alive. This evi-
dence Of the cause Of death was of
course conclusive, and the woman

TO REFORM MISS LIBEKTY'S DRESS.
Butler OF Iowa Introduces by Request an
Astonishing Resolution.

WASHINGTON, February 2l.-Mr.
Butler of Iowa introduced in the
House to-day by request bill to es-
tablish a truer figure of American
constitutional liberty and another to
amend the great seal of the United
States.
The first provides that after July 4
next the Goddess of Liberty shall be
represented by young woman of full
stature, with mature development
and proportions, wearing high-laced
boots, reaching midway between the
ankle and knee; hose reaching to the
thigh; short skirts reaching downward
to a point just above the knee; close
fitting bodice and sleeves to the elbow,
and a cap moulded from blue pansy
bud. She is TO bear for arms, at her
left hip, in place and lightly suspended
over her right shoulder, pen with
holder extended, and on her breast,
instead of shield, an American ballot
in black and white.
The other measure amends the law
establishing the seal so as to provide,
instead of the present crest which ap-
pears above the head of the eagle, q
glory breaking through cloud pansy
surrounding thirteen stars forming a
constellation argent and on an azure
field.
