Away From the Factories.

It is noticeable, however, that the number
of girl operatives is not increasing in pro-
portion to the increase in other lines. The
younger generation of girls is evidently
taking up Independent lines of work. They
are getting away from the crowded facto-
ries, mills and sweat shops where they la
Dor mechanically, and are going into occu-
pations in which their own brains direct
and their own hands execute the work
They are rapidly increasing as compositors
and printers, as e!ectrotypers and stereo-
typers, as photographers and as publishers
OF books, maps and newspapers. The num-
Der of women publishers is 2l9; of pho
tographers, 200. The amateur camera
has undoubtedly been turned to profitable
account by a good many women in late
years. 1t IS noticeable also that the girl
apprentices, represent ting the youngest
grade of female help, are choosing indie
pendent lines and specialties, rather than
the overcrowding trades.

As to Sandwiches.

The butter for sandwiches should be as
sweet as the breath of kline, and be spread
evenly and sparingly. The filling will vary
according to taste, but it should be daintily
prepared and of the best meats. A ham
sandwich may do for a base ball, but it
can be as tender as a bit of cake. Minced
ham makes the incest filling. If you slice
it, make it as thin as paper, and be sure to
cut across the grain of the meat and not
along with it.
Better mince it, though. Trim it of all
soft fat, gristle and bone, and mince with a
chopping knife till it Is as fine as powder

The Process From the Time Of the Catch

Toward tho end of April the sardine

sees the water agitatcd, word spreads
rapidly and the boats put ont from the
