SHORT NOTES FOR WOMEN.

In the United States there are over
500 women undertakers.
MANY of the working women of New
York city, especially those employed by
sweaters, receive less than two dol
lars week as wages
AT the next general election in
Colorado, November. 1894, the people
of the state will vote on the question of
amending the constitution so as to give
the ballot to women.
Edison prefers women machinists for
the delicate details of electrical ma
chimes. lie says they have more fine
sense about machinery in one minute
than most men in their whole exist
ence.
Two women doctors in Buffalo, d.
Lillian Randall and DIR. Mary Greene,
have founded a hospital for the medical
and surgical treatment of women. that
they may take more prominent part
in operations than women physicians
are allowed to take in hospitals.
AMONG the workers at the Harvard
college observatory who have shown
special scientific ability is Miss Maury.
She is granddaughter of Lieut.. Maury.
whose meteorological and other scien-
titic work has been of Immense value to
seamcn OF the Atlantic, and a niece OF
Dr.. Henry Draper
AT the annual meeting OF Trinity
parish protestant EpiscopaD, Seymour,
Ct, the applications of several women
to become members of the parish were
favorably received. A local paper says:
This church is the first of its denom-
ination in the state to allow women to
vote on parish matters"
Mrs. CHRISTINE LADD FRANKLIN Ia
one OF the few women who have Won a
well-deserved reputation as scientific
thinker and writer. She is an American
by birth and the wife of an American
savant, and her name is frequently
found in German periodicals among
such writers as Helmholtz ard MuileS

of recognized drifting apart of the
sexes under the changed condition OF
things. 1t is the same over here.
Except in what is called the social
world, men and women meet very in
frequently. The plaintof bright and
brainy woman that she didn't know
how to talk to a man, didn't know
what would interest him, is too well
founded. Why" said another woman,
Il was counting up the other day. and
out of forty married women whom 1
know well and see often | have met
just eighteen of the husbands. and
except in one or two cases, met them
but once and most inconsequently.
What with woman's clubs and
luncheons and teas. her charitable and
church committees, she may be busy
week in and week out and not have
half hours talk with any man outside
OF her own family.
The mixed clubs should be welcomed,
ii only to put the coming man and the
coming woman on speaking terms.-N.

WOMEN IN THE CENSUS OFFICE.
Superintendent Porter Pays n High Tribute
TO Their Efficiency.

| Mr.. Robert p. Porter. who has charge
of the compiling of all the statistics in
the country relative to the employment
of women and has under his direct
supervision no less than 1.sO0 women
employees, says that women are espe-
cially fitted for such work as they are
called upon to perform in the census
Office, as evidenced by their rapid and
almost complete monopoly of the places.
It was Gen. Walker who gave the sex
the first trial in computing and tallying
in 1870, and found them so capable that
when the force was largest 700 women
were employed. Now the mum Der has in
creased to nearly 1000. The examina-
tiOns for computers, copyists, and
clerks was opened to men and women
alike, and that most of the women were
obliged to accept subordinate places
was due to their inability to pass the
examination in simple arithmetic. 1t
is a pertinent fact that the very girls
who failed in simple addition, fractions
and percentages knew much of art and
music. spoke foreign languages, and
were probably considered creditable
graduates of the institutions in which
they We're educated. This was especial
ly noticeable in the girls who were
seminary and convent educated and in
the girls from the south. All of this
emphasizes the fact that much of
the primary and academic education
of girls especially is lacking in practi-
cal features which will prepare stu
dents for the struggle of maintenance.
Much of the work in this department
is facilitated by the application of cleo
tricity to counting ard mechanical de-
vices for tabulation. and in this work
Mr.. Porter has found that the women
show more aptitude and dcyterity than
the men, while in computations he
found them more accurate than their
male rivals. They are more exact in
touch, more expeditions in handling
the schedules, more at home in adjust
ing the delicate mechanism of the APP
paratus. As private and confidential
secretaries in public offices, Mr.. Porter
believes that competent and trained
women are far superior to men. They
are, as rule, conscientious, they rare
ly or never betray q confidence, and are
not likely to give ont Office secrets to
conyivai friends over 4 glass OF wine
and a cigar.-N. Y. sun.
