V0CATI0NR FOR WOMEN.
Are Many But Thorough Pre-
uarntinv, rs NaedaT

The American woman (practical as
she is in most things), if overtaken by
reverse of fortune. too often makes a
grave error in her choice of employment.
With false pride and natural anxiety
for her social position. she turns prompt
ly to accomplishments as the most gem
teel method of securing a livelihood.
However imperfect her knowledge, or
rusty from long disuse. she attempts to
teach music, painting. embroidery. ETC.,
forgetting that they are now classed as
arts, reaching a standard of perfection
that requires years of study and after
practice to be fitted to instruct in them.
1t is an age of masters. affcroing scant
opportunities for amateurs, as parents
are now fully awake to the fact that
economy in education, If exercised at
all. must be at the end rather than be-
ginning of the child's school life. BY
securing the very best teacher in early
years errors and bad habits to be cor
reeted IN later ones are happily avoided,
and although more expensive at the
time. is true wisdom In the final. A
teacher may be faithful and conscien-
quirements of the times. she cannot give
satisfaction in these lines of ar-stic
work. AS a rule her career is brief n
uniform in result, She tolls until worn
out with the mental and nervous strain,
which at best yields only a meagre pit
lance, and finally ends in signal failure.

ferent course, with much more fatter-
ing result. and it must be admitted
upon a broader platform of common
sense. Lonodn statistics prove that a
large proportion of first class millinery
and dressmaking establishments in tina
great city are owned and conducted by
ladies of high social position, who's from
change of fortune. are compelled to
maintain themselves and families by
personal effort. Many of them have
claims. to titles even, and yet with COM
mendable Independence and honesty OF
purpose enter upon, legitimate business
which. if necessarily limited at /. first,
holds prospect of a comfortable income
in the future.
In numberless instances success has
gone beyond this. to the extent of ample
fortunes acquired in trade, from which
american women shrink as more humil-
tain fancy work, etc. What a blessing
that the world is being revolutionized,

profit or pleasure. she can follow the vo-
cation best suited. to her, and still be

there is a prospect of a surplus in the
income of this very month, and the
coming election may be held amid the
rejoicings of Democrats over the COM
pletely restored solvency of the National
treasury. The indications are that the
revenues will exceed the expense of
government by 1900, 900 or $2,5oo.0o0.
The receipts from all sources for the
twenty business days of September so
far elapsed nave been on the average
1867, 500 a day. From customs, $1l, 2o4, 800
has been collected; the internal revenue
taxes have yielded $685. 4l4, while from
miscellaneous sources $547.S 67 has been
received. making a total of $21, $50, 1877.
1t is expected, and it is altogether prob
able, that the daily receipts for the re-
manning five working days of the month
will not fall below the average that has
been maintained so far, so hat at least
S.. 10000 O more may be expected before the
end of the month.
The expenditures of the month have not
been light. PENSIONS ana interest account
absorbed a great deal of none in the
early part of the month. To date. a total
of $50, 219. 700 has been discussed. This,
of course, shows a deficit of $685., 512 at
this moment of writing. but this is in
itself such a vast improvement over the
last six or eight months as to be in itself
a cause of rejoicing.
The probable surplus is figured in this
way. The estimated expenditures for the
balance of the month are about $500, 900
a day, against $1,000. 900 receipts. Today
and tomorrow's transactions should more
than wipe out the present deficit. This
leaves three working days, with about
$500, 900 a day surplus to produce a balance
on the right side of the ledger at the close
of the month.
Thu will be reversed the disastrous
conditions produced in the public finances
by the dire operation of the Mckinley
tariff.

STRIKE is PRACTICALLY OVER.
The Brooklyn Troubles Arc Almost Ended.
Though Connolly Ancets to Be
Confident.

Brooklyn, Jan. 25.-Mayor Schieren ex-
pressed the opinion this afternoon that
the strike was over, SO far as 1t would
affect the convenience # the public.
Colonel Appleton. of the Seventh reg
iment, said he expected to be relieved
from detail very soon. Master Work
man Connolly still maintains that the
strikers will win, but a dozen strikers
applied TO the Brooklyn City railway to-
day for reinstatement and were put to
work. Street car officials say they will
take back old men. but say they Will
not displace the new men. More cars
were, run to-day than on any day since
the strike began. Mayor Schieren de-
clares result of personal instruction
that the lines are giving good service.
The mandamus which Ii is sought to
have issued to- compel the companies
to run cars is not of much Importance
under these circumstances.
The temper of the strikers showed an
accent of bitterness in the latter hours
of the day. but they do not manifest a
sanguine spirit any more.
At Maspeth a lot of non-union motor
men were taken from car and locked
up in hall by strikers. When released
some of them claimed they had been
