MUST EQUAL IN WAGES.

Women Should Not Reduce the Mar
ket Prices for Labor.
Mr.. Walter Besant is. rs most of us
know full well, opposed to female suf-
frage, but it seems that he is equally
antagonistic to the progress of women
in the fields of labor. He has lately
been interviewed on this subject by a
paper devoted to the interests Of work.
ing" women. and in unmistalable terms
he expresses the conviction that women
are bringing most trades and profess
sions "to the dogs by entering into
competition with men. am naturally
inclined to the view that women have
right to engage in any work. says the
Ladies' Pictorial, always provided they
are competent to do so; but agree with
Mr. Besant SO far as to allow that they
have no right to reduce wages. The in
fiuX of women into the labor market
has undoubtedly had this effect. They
are paid on much lower scale than
men. and they are consequently driving
their brothers and would-be husbands
from the field
Now. il we are capable Of doing the
work Of which men have hitherto held
the monopoly. we deserve to be paid as
tey have been paid. "a laborer is
worthy of his hire" and there is no pos
sible reason why female clerk should
be offered Il lower salary than man.
But AS long as we accept half terms
without protest we shall assuredly be
offered them. If we ask higher wages
and are as competent as men to do the
work we undertake we shall probably
get them. We have certainly no right
to reduce market prices. And if we do
not demand to be equal with man in
this respect, we certainly cannot expect
justice i'll other matters. This is. after
all Il mere question Of give and take,
and l am bound to admit that Mr..
Besant only asks us to deal fairly with
the other SEX

WHY SHE SEARCHED.

A Sad Picture With Rather Comic
Reason.
She walked timidly into the coron-
er's office leading by the hand a little
boy.
"Where do you keep the pictures Of
the dead men," she inquired in brok-
en- English of the man behind the
wicket. II want to look for my hus
band"
A bulky package of photographs o.
the "unknowns" was handed to her.
She sat down on q chair and COM
menced her sad task. She scanned
each grewsome picture carefully, en-
deavoring to find the we'll known face.
The happy youngster picked UP each
portrait with a cry of "That's him!''
and succeeded in discovering at leas
20 "hims" before his mother had
finished the package.
One of those sympathetic souls en-
tered and spied the Borrowing widow.
After few questions he assisted her
in her search. saying: "You must feel
very deeply theloss ofyoar husband. "
"Oh, it ism It that so much. l haven't
seen HIM for year, ana if he is dead
l don't went to go to the expense Of
getting g. divorce"

Branding Ice.

A novel idea has been patented by
Van der Weyde, by whose inventive in
genuity the electric light was first sue
cesfully applied to portrait photography
for the purpose of securing pure ice for
table use. The invention is based on
the fact that two smooth surfaces Of
freshly cut ice, when brought into con-
tact at a temperature below the freez-
ing point, will unite so firmly that the
juncture between the parts will be as
strong as any other portion Of the COM
bined mass Subjected to higher tenn
perature, however. the junction is the
first to yield to a blow or Il pressure
and the ice easily breaks into the orig
inal pieces. Utilizing this property, Mr..
Van der Weyde casts blocks of ice into
small cubes. which are stamped with q
star, or other trade mark. These cubes
are Joined into larger cube, say Of
16-pound or of 32-pound weight, and so
sent out for use. The trade mark is a
guarantee that the ice is perfectly pure,
and the small cubes weigh only half
an ounce. Il most convenient size

they live. They believe the world to

"Where you come from?"
"From America" answered the mis-
sionary.
"What for you come here?"

CRAWLING TO THE QUEEN.

How Rsivy Councillors Swear Ale
u glance.
Mr.. Labouchere, in Truth, has an
amusing fling at the men who long TO
call themselves honorables. The
ceremony of taking the privy coun.
cillor's oath is somewhat curious, he
remarks.
1.-THE Queen sits in q chair. The
new privy councillor has to kneel be-
fore her-a bona fide kneeling, with
both knees on the ground. The oath
is then administered, and the queens
hand is kissed. When the new minis
tiers went down to Osborne last week
there were five new privy councillors.
All knelt together in a row, then sue
cessively had to kiss hands.
"Until the ceremony was completed
they had to remain on their knees,
and crawled and crept one after the
other up to her majesty along the
floor"
II was in company, % day or two
ago. with an American, when the
relative merits OF monarchial and
republican institutions were being dis
cusse,l, so 1 explained to him this
ceremony, in order to make manifest
to him how far superior a monarchy
is to republic. My explanation had,
l regret to say, a contrary effect to
that which had intended.
"Do you mean seriously to say that
your statesmen submit to this deg
radation?" he said.
1.-THE crawling l replied, always
takes place at u change of ministry,
and, far from reeardingit as a degrad'
alton, it is esteemed proud elevation:
"He was still mo.e surprised, and
asked me whether these who performed
the ceremony received a salary, or at
least some little present.
Nothing l answered. The crawl
ing is it's own reward. Indeed, this
crawler has subsequently, to buy him
self a peculiar coat, which he Wears in
order that all mankind may know
the honor which has been conferred
upon him.

Useful Household Suggestions.

Useful Household Suggestions.
Milk is better for being kept over
night in small tins than if a large
quantity is kept over in one vessel.
When pressing hay weigh each bale
and mark the weight on tag or
small lath ATTACHED. The lath is less
liable to lose in transit.
1t is better to keep baked pastry in
cupboard rather than in a refrigera-
tor, as it would be apt to get damp
and heavy in the latter place.
To keep jellies from molding, cover
them over with pulverized sugar to
the depth OF a quarter of an inch.
They will keep for years if this is
done.
China may be mended so strong
that it will never break again in the
same place. Make thick solution of
gum arabic and water, and stir in
some plaster of Paris until the paste
is very thick; apply it with a brush to
the edges of the broken china and set
them carefully together, tie O. string
around them and set away for three
days.
TO keep high silk hat in fine con-
dition use q pad made of velvet or
worsted plush, instead OF brush for
brushing it, smoothing it over with a
soft silk handkerchief frequently. If
any roush spots appear in the nap
apply tiatiron mot too hot) and
smooth them over, then use the pad
and silk handkerchief.-Good House,
