Very little is known of the danger TO
life and health that exists in many occu-
pations where women are largely en-
ployed. In England league has been
formed TO call attention to the facts OF
the case, and Mrs. G. Mollet has made
extensive investigations.
In the linen trade the fax has to be
left 10 soak in the water, and rheuma-
tism, bronchitis and pneumonia seize
upon the women who have to deal with
1t in this stage. In the flax carding de-
partment the fine dust produces lung
disease and kills its victims at 30. In fur
cape making the odor and the fine fluff
are both extremely injurious. A singu-
lar injury is caused to artificial flower
makers, especially those employed in
making white flowers by gaslight. The
dry dust causes infiamed eyelids, and the
work is so trying that women are worn
out long before middle age. In the china
trade the clay dust settles year by year
in the lungs until consumption results.
In the white lead trade horrors are
found quite equal to those of the phos-
phorous match trade. Lead is in itself
highly poisonous, and the most danger
GUS parts Of the process of making the or
binary blue pigs of lead into the deadly
white carbonate is carried ON by women
because it requiresle less muscular strength
than the rest. Cakes of lead are put to
ferment in tan and acetic acid for three
months, and then the cakes have to be
grubbed out Of the mixture by hand,
the poison getting under the finger nails
After being ground to powder under
water the dishes Of damp lead have to DO
placed in stove to dry for fortnight.
The worst part is when these poor women
have TO take away the dry, hot. white
carbonate Of lead from the stoves. Even
the mufiled heads. the wooden respira-
tors, the sack overalls fail to keep out
the deadly dust. They rarely live many
years. Sometimes a few weeks or months
bring ON the symptoms of acute lead
poisoning, to which they rapidly sue
cumb. This white carbonate of lead is
used for glazing china and enamel adj
vertisements. The only safeguard would
be In prohibiting the manufacture, and
it would be possible TO do so, for various
substitutes are already in the Market

graphs About Suffrage.
A suggestive article In the Boston
Globe discusses the relative value of
large and small clubs for women and
quotes Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Brown,
president Of the General Federation Of
Women's Clubs, as saying that large
club broadens acquaintance, embodies
more ability and experience. exerts more
influence, has a better income and can
do moro work than q small one. On the
other hand, In large club actual par
ticipation is often limited TO few, while
many members are silent and inactive;
hence the importance Of dividing the
work and assigning IL to sections, classes
or committees.
Among the clubs named In this article
are the New England Womens club
the New York Sorosis, the Cambridge
(Mass.) Cantabrigia, the Wheaton Sem
mary club. the Massachusetts Moral
Education association, the Starr club Of
Lynn, the Thought and Work club of
Salem, the Monday Afternoon club of
Paterson. N. j.; the Monday Afternoon

Coast Womans Press association Of San
Francisco; the Woman's club Of Aurora,

Woman's Literary club of Meadville,
Pa; the Fort Wayne Woman's club, the
American club Of Boston, the Dorchester
(Mass.) Womans club, the Professional
Woman's league of New York, the Dan
vers Women's association, etc.
Thirty years ago women's clubs scarce
ly existed; already their name is legion
There rs scarcely town or village in the
country that has not or will not soon
have one or more such organizations Of
women. At present few of these associ-
ations have given any attention TO poll
tics or the science Of government. But
sooner OF later they will be impelled to
do so by the pressure of circumstances
Their private and public interests will
awaken them to their need of direct
power in shaping legislation.
Therefore we welcome every one of
these women's clubs, however conserva-
tive, as an involuntary ally-the May
flower club no less than the independent
women voters Of Boston or the Massa-
chusetts School Suffrage association.
Even the remonstrants are, in a broad
sense, promoters Of the woman suffrage
