TEN THOUSANDS sP1NsTERs.

"Therefore 10, 900 women have now
lost their chance of marriage"
Those fateful words, it is almost un-
necessary to say, are from the pen OF
Mr.. Walter Besant. He is comment
inc upon the fact that the Bank OF
England has decided to appoint women
as clerks, that various merchants Of
fees are doing the same thing and that
in certain branches of the Civil Ser
vice women are being employed. 1t
all means, he argues, that 10, 900 men
will be unemployed, will seek fresh
fields and pastures new, leaving 10, 600
women in their places and 10, OOO other
women husbandless He finds no ray
of light in the gloomy prospect. He
admits that the country will save about
900, 900 a year by the change.
"But," he goes on, :lO, 900 possible
families are not called into existence.
Now, 10000 families may average 40,
900 children. The country, therefore,
loses the work, brains, productive
power, fighting power, colonizing
power of 40, 900 men and women. Put
ting the productive power OF one per-
son at $4,000, we have a loss in the
next generation If fS20, 900, GOO a year.
Which is better to save 80, 10000 a
year, or to secure the services and
strength of 100000 English men and
women, reckoned at $50, 900, 900 q
vearf"

WHY WOMEN ARE ROBBED.

Many women expose themselves
recklessly to robbers. They so into
thoroughfares and public places car
rying costly bags on frail chains or
Trailer clasps. They wear diamonds
in their ears from breakfast all day.
They advertise their possession of fine
watches by showing them conspicu-
ously on their gowns, in most cases
secured by slight attachments. They
carry well-flled purses in their hands
and often lay the tempting articles
down absent-mindedly in stores and
on cafe tables. At street corners,
when waiting for cars, they will open
wallets disclosing rolls of bills, and,
having extracted a small amount Of
change, will drop the wallet into an
outside pocket where the observant
thief will easily find it, hustling the
unsuspecting victim in crowd or sit
ting beside her in a car. A rich wo-
man of New York who is missing went
out early in the day with several thou
sand dollars worth of diamonds on her
person. 1t is feared, and justly, that
She has been waylaid for the jewels.
The wonder is that more women are
not obbed.-Chicago Herald.

Various Speeds.

The horse, said Mr. jeremiah Head,
in q paper recently read, though he
could not walk faster than man, nor
exceed him in jumping heights or dis
tances, could certainly beat him alto
gether when galloping or trotting. A
mile had been galloped in lob seconds,
equal to thirty-fve miles per hour,
and had been trotted in 124 seconds,
equal to twenty-nine miles per hour.
How mans position as competitor
with other animals in speed was af-
fected by his use of mechanical aids,
but without any extraneous motive
power, was considered in reference to
locomotion on land, in water, and in
air. But the most wonderful increase
in the locomotive power of man on
land was obtained by the use of the
modern cycle. One mile had been
cycled at the rate of 27.1 miles per
hour, fifty at twenty, 100 at 1876, 1888
at u. 43 miles per hour. Unaided by
mechanism man had shown himself
able to swim for short distances (twen-
ty-two miles, at the rate of one mile
per hour. He had also given in
stances of being able to remain under
water for four and a half minutes.
Credible eye-witnesses stated that
porpoises easily overlook and kept
pace with steamer going twelve and
o half knots, or, say, over fourteen
miles IN hour, for al indefinite length
of time. This was five and fifteen
times the maximum swimming speed
of & man for short and long distances
respectively. Popular Science Month

TWO DRESS NOVELTIES.

4 compromise dinner dress planned
by an ingenious woman, whose weak
lungs prevented her from wearing a
decolletee gown was of black satin. A
fur hem bordered the plain full skirt,
and line of shallow scollops outlined
in silver sequins was set on little
above. The yoke and full sleeves were
of white chiffon, spangled with silver,
and the satin waist was outlined around
the corsage and over the shoulders
with sequins. The high stock collar
was of the satin.
A most unique and original costume
for fancy dress party was one worn
by woman recently to represent a
black poodle. The skirt was black
tulle, covered with small ruches to in
dicate the curly coat. With this was
worn a corslet of black velvet, silver
bracelet on the right arm and red
satin ribbon as the collar. The black
hair of the lady was frizzed, and two
black velvet ears lined with pink vel
vet were fixed on the head. New York

SIXTY-ONE MEN LOST.
Disastrous Season for the Gloucester
Fishing Fleet.

Fishing Fleet.
The past three months form one OF the
most disastrous periods In the history OF the
Gloucester (Mass) fisheries, and one which
surpasses any previous record for the same
length OF time. The number OF vessels re-
ported lost Is eighteen, with total tonnage
OF 1419, and valuation Of over 100000 on
which there was an insurance OF 800, ,134.
The last vessel to be added to the list is the
schooner Henrietta, which sailed from
Gloucester early IN December, on handline
fishing voyage. She was afterwnrd reported
at provincial port where she reatted and
whence she sailed for the banks. Since that
time she has not been heard from, and 1t Is
the general opinion that she never will re-
turn. She was commanded by Dominique
Pinella, native OF Corsica, who had with
him q crew OF twelve men.
The loss OF the crew makes total loss OF
life In all branches OF the fisheries OF sixty
one men, several OF whom leave families.
Fishing schooner Resolute reports that
Alex III der Stewart, Tracy Presson, William
Ferguson and Augustus Christensen, mem.
bers OF the crew, got astray from the vessel
while attending travis. A heavy gale came

HATS TO MATCH ToILETTEs.

A girl in New York received COM
mission from friend in California to
purchase for her twenty-one hats, to
match as many gowns for promenade,
reception and evening wear. The
prodigality of twenty -one hats at once,
for one girls adornment, strikes the
observer as rather frivolous and stu
pid, q sort of index finger pointing to
the young woman whose fathers SUBJ
stance was thus lavishly spent to en-
rich metropolitan milliners, and indi-
eating that clothes were to her the
great end of life.
Yet the girl could afford to please
her taste, and her lavish order gave
employment to other girls who were
happy indeed if they could afford two
or three modest hats in a season. So
where was the place for censure? The
hats were sll pretty and dainty and
bewitching; some were small and chic,
others large and plumy, and they set
off to advantage the beautiful face of
a radiantly beautiful girl, a queen rose
in the rosebud garden of girls.
Hats to match costumes are the cap
and crown-sheaf of the well-dressed
girl. A hat that quarrels with the
rest of the clothing will give the most
costly toilette a dowdy air. Since
bonnets and hats are very expensive
part of ones outfit, it is q good plan
to choose the gown with an eye to the
hat. If girl has knack, natural or
acquired, for doing her own millinery,
she will save expense and add largely
to her sum of satisfaction in the
course of a season. -Harper's Bazar.
