WOMEN AS wArcuMAkERs.

The Waltham matchmaking estab-
lishment employs 1900 women among
it's 5000 work people. Tho Superin-
tendent of the Waltham exhibit at the
Worlds Fair said of them: "In many
lines of the work women aro superior
to men, and i'll all lines of the work
women are more faithful than the
men," Yet if that very Superinten-
dent needed II foreman for one of his
departments he would select for the
place some strip of boy and put him
up over the heads of the Oldest and

give him twice the pay of the best

power of tho Sex superstition. This is

brightness of their eyes, This was the
first appearance in public of the bang,
and it had evidently come to stay.
But as nothing is tolerated by fashion
very long, the straight bang was rele-
gated in few years to tho chamber
maids, while their mistresscs wore
fringes which were curled or frizzed.
This fashion reigned for some time,
but it i'll turn has been succeeded by
the present Madonna-like mode of
hair dressing, which leaves the exist
ence of foreheads amatter OF certainty
rather than of conjecture.
But the old-fashioned straight bnng
has by no means been banished. 1t
has fallen Oh the head of the college
man. There the bang may be seen i'll
it's first and undiminished estate. 1t
is especially i'll evidence on the foot
ball field, and is said to save the play
ers' heads from many hard blow.
So, seemingly, there was always
method in its wanderings, and it was
meant from the beginning to arrive at
u point where u special mission was to
be fulfilled.
II the present gentle stage of tho
football game mass of flowing locks
is said to afford sufficient protection
to the skull of the college man. But
rs the gamc seems to be evolving to-
wards something more glorious and
dangerous than the game of to-day, it
is safe to presume TINT helmets will
soon be added to football armor. Then
bangs will have fulfilled their mission,
and may start OH their onward way
onco more.
Perhaps by that time the college
girl will be ready to assume them.
She is the only member of society who
has been FREQ from the light touch of
bangs. But rs their progress is us
sure us it is slow, even she may have
to adopt them before long. The pos
sibility opens up an interesting field
for conjecture.
If the college girl takes her brothers
discarded bang, it will not be for tho
purpose of adjoining herself there
with. Sho must have q hygienic or
other equally good reason for wearing
one before she will so fur depart from
her ancient principles rs to bang her
hair. 1t is barely possible that she
will do SO from n desire to place her
self on an equality with college men.
She has assumed her brothers sailor

Or else, in her sclfsacriiicing desire
to raise the standard of women's col
legcs MS high Us that of mems, sho
may consent to play u modified sort of
football game, and in this case she
will certainly have to be protected by
u bang. But this is all conjectural,
and for the present at least the col
lego boy monopolizes the straight,
long, old-fashionod fringe. 1t may, be-
fore long, bring him to tho point Of
wearing veil; for without veil, as

described by the White Geological
Surveying Party i'll 1860, and has since
been visited by many of the noted
scientists of this country and Europe.

evaporation theory OF ice accumula-
lions can be applied The walls, and
especially the roof, of the cave are
very near the surface, i'll no case being
more than twenty-five feet below the
surroundings, and in some places not
more than ten. A fact which goes q

When Sir Albert Kaye Rollit proposed
the toast on Guests" at the dinner given
To Chairman Wilson by the London Cham
Der OF he referred to the results
of the Democratic tariff law as follows:
Benefits have already been experienced in
England. Furnaces have been reopened in
Wales and in Yorkshire. and an impetus
has been given to the textile industries.
On the same day that Mr.. Wilson was
dined in recognition of his services to Brit
ish industrial interests, the large wooden
mills of Priestly & Co.. in Camden. n. j.,
were closed because of the depression in
business. The Highland mills in the same
State were shut down when the operatives
asked an advance of wages. and struck
because the owners could not make such a
concession. 1--WE nave been losing money
by keeping the mills running said the
manager. land we prefer to close" On
the same day that the Englisnman made his
cheerful statement of tile results of the
Democratic tariff law. the following APP
peared in the press dispatches:
The business depression has caused the
Altoona Manufacturing Company. the larg-
est plant OF the kind in this section of the
State. 10 go into liquidation to-day. The
company manufactured stationary engines
and various kinds of machinery. Three hum
dred men are thrown out of work at the
near approach of winter. The assets are
$500, coo; liabilities unknown.
Thus it appears that while benefits have
been experienced in England from the
Democratic tariff law. the suspension of
American factories has not ceased, and
American workingmen are getting no bet
ter wages and thousands are getting none
at all.
And yet the present tariff law does not
cut duties and consequently cut wages to
the extent that the bill for which Mr.. By
mum first voted did.

feionies which would put a civilian In pris-

citizen may be Drained and the brutal Of
ficer will only have to forfeit probably
thirty days pay In other ways the police
men commit crimes without a fear that
justice will be melted out to them" This
was a surprising statement. and yet the
evidence brought out by the Investigation
shows that 1t is not exaggerated. And the
condition described is not confined to New
York. American policemen generally are
probably more ignorant of their real duties
and more reckless Of the rights of citizens
than the police of any other country. There
is probably not a day in the year that
illegal arrests or detentions are not made
or outrages ON personal rights committed
