I consider a very curious phase Of

mind the case of large concern which
deliberately placed the price Of a
certain commodity below the profit

questions the propriety of such con-

of firms and the owners of trading es-
ablishments-thati is, to any great ex-
tent. And their appearance in this
new role has brought up in another
form the problem that presented itself
when young girls first entered count
ing rooms.
Then it was declared that the girls
were driving out the boys. A deft
young miss, quick at figures, neat and
active, was content with much less
salary than man and in many re-
spects she proved far more competent.
Thus it has come about that many a
clever youth can find nothing to do,
while his sisters readily procure cleri-
ical situations. The result is no end
of arguments to prove that the girls
should stay at home and give the boys
chance. Now, as I said, the bust
ness woman finds that many of the
qualities peculiar to her sex give her
an advantage against which male COM
petitors have no way Of contending.
An agreeable, obliging, refined lady
can secure more patrons than any dull,
prosaic, matter-of-fact man.
Well, along comes a social econo-
mist. This will never do" says he,
''for the men have wives and children
to support, and woman's sphere is at
home" Then he sits down and writes
an article-and leaves things exactly
as he found them.
Now. at the risk of being dull and Of
seeming to wander from the point, l
viii point out what seems to me
curious oversight in this. Women must
live, must they not? If yes, may they
not live well, provided they do SO in
proper way? And if business affords
women the means Of living no one
should forbid them to employ that
means without providing substitute
equally good. Marriage is not to be
considered in this connection for very
obvious reasons. So as l stated in the
beginning, there is nothing left but to
quarrel with the social system. It is
absurd to find fault with the women;
when an innocent man charged with
murder dies on the scaffold it is not
the hangnan who is to blame.
My very first business experiences
convinced me that women can teach
men lots of things about barter and
sale. We all know that the gentler
sex is pronounced gossipy about trifes.
Many business men would compel
women to look to their laurels in this
respect. In fact l think women gen
orally have far better notion of the
value of time than men. In the nu-
merous little emergencies that arise,
find men curiously incapable of acting
quickly. They want time to think
when woman would do the right
thing without hesitation Again.

Some Inside History in Femi-

Women are great sufferers from nervous
meas, weakness nervous prostration and de-
bility. Thousands OF girls droop and Ian
guish in the close, confined atmosphere OF
shops, factories or offices, and hundreds OF
thousands wear out their nerve force and
power in household cares, family bsreave-
ments and responsibilities end work which
never ends.
Here lies the great strain upon the nervous
Systems of women. Here is the cause why
SO many women complain OF being weak,
nervous, tired and exhausted.
They have little or no rest; their life is one
continual round OF work, duties here, duties
there, dutos without number. What won
der that such women GO to bed at night
fatigued, and wake tired and uprefreshed in
the morning What wonder that they be
come worn out, go to speak, in nerve and
vital power What wonder that they have
great weakness, exhaustio pains in the
back and limbs, together with the distress
ing female complaints which are always
caused by loss of vital strength and vIgor
OF how many thousands OF women is the
above true and exact transcript of daily
life They have worn out and exhausted
their nerve force and physical power They
must work, but it follows as surely as thu
day follows the night that they must receiv'
from some source renewal of nerve force
