WOmen's Chances in Life.

Florence Nightingale once said, "Three
fourths of the mischief in women's lives
arises from them excepting themselves
from the rule of training considered need
full for men, The attitude of women has
changed in this respect since the remark
was made, but only to a certain extent
Unskilled labor is at n tremendous dis
count in these days. For instance, young
girl WHO has just left school with fair
eucation in trying to decide what she will
learn to serve as self supporting voca-
ton, finds herself blocked in various at
tempts because of her lack of requisite
requirements. Ten years ago a bright
intelligent girl could take library posi-
ton, Learning the ropes and being paid at
the same time. Now, as the above men
toned girl learned to her disappointment
an aspirant for the two years course Of
library training at the Albany school
must pass rigid examinations, and college
graduates are given the preference.
And the same is true, though perhaps
somewhat less strictly, of the Drexel in
stitutc in Philadelphia and the Pratt in
slitute in Brooklyn. Women are begin
ming perforce to realize the Importance, or
rather the imperative necessity, of taking
trouble and giving time and patience to
learning thoroughly the details of the pro-
fession they intend to follow, but they
have not yet fully realized it. The woman
wage Garner is no longer looked upon
with scorn because she works for her liv
ing unless it is by the veriest snob. Nor
is the girl that stays at home, engaged in
industriously waiting for some man to
come and marry her, especially admired
for her occupdtltn
Public opinion has broadered very much
during the past ten years in this regard,
and women who accept compensation,
as the delicate old fashioned phrase put it,
for their services have almost learned that
those services must, in order to command
fair equivalent, be as well rendered as
men would render, and that chivalry and
defense are as out of place in the business
world as pale hued, silken evening gown
would be in the office at the ledger or type
writer Philadelphia Press.

Grants Clemency.

General B. R. Cowen, clerk of the
United States courts, was, during Grants
administration, an assistant cabinet
officer. He tells the following story:
81 went to the White House one year
the night before Christmas to show the
president my budget. As was leav-
ing him l wished him merry Christ
mas. And l feel as if would have
one,' he replied. l never before was
in such happy state of mind for the
day, and I think it will be truly merry
one.' Then it would be good time
for people wanting favors to see you,'
said l. Yes, don't think could re-

a woman in deep mourning. Her face
was heavily yelled, and l inquired who
she was. The porter said she was the
wife of -, a naval officer who had
only short time before been sentenced
to Jail for detrauding the government.

porter to notify me when she departed.

Park at Altoona Pass.

At the reunion held in St. Paul,
Mimi, by the veterans of the Fourth
Minnesota, resolutions wers adopted
requesting the senators and representa-
tives from Minnesota TO try to secure
the passage of an act creating a ma
tional park on the battlefield of Altoona
Pass. The battle fought there was of
the highest Importance to the Union
cause. General Corse with l ,944 men
defeated an overwhelming force of
rebels, who assaulted the place to cap
ture the rations for General Sherman's
army, which had been accumulated in
preparation for the march to the seq.
The defense was most heroic, and the
ri suits far reaching. Had the little
garrison yielded to the fierce attack,
the march to the sea would have been
at least greatly delayed, and Hoods
army would have been well supplied
for s grand sweep to the North.-No-
tional Tribune

A Splendid Chance.

Every body who is weak, delicate or
sicky wants to get well. DIR. Greene,
of "a Temple Place, Boston, makes IA
specially of treating patients through
letter correspondence. The wisest
thing all suffering people can do is to
write the doctor, stating just how they
feel, mentioning every symptom of
which they complain, and he will an
swer the letter, explaining each symp-
tom and describing the case so thor
oughly that patients understand their
complaint as well as though they had
talked with the doctor. He makes his
explanations so clear that they cannot
help but understand just what ails
them, and he tells exactly what to do
to get we'll. 1t saves journey to the
city and doctors fees, and costs moth.
ing. DR.. Greene is the most success
full specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases. He is the discoverer of
that wonderful medicine, DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
Thousands are being cured through his
perfect system of letter correspondence
1t has been proved successful.

Scriptural Estimate OF Women.

The first important suggestion that
comes to us from the Bible record Is that
the production of woman was the consum-
mating act of the creative week, writes
the Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst in The La
dies Home Journal. Whatever opinion
we may see our way clear to hold upon tho
doctrine of evolution, it remains fact
that the first two chapters of Genesis mark
an orderly progress Of creative sequence,
each step in the history furnishing the
platform upon which sustained itself
still higher and finer exercise of the di-
vine wisdom and power, so that each step
was the finish of what had preceded and
the initiative of all that came after. 1t is
in that character then that we are obliged
to construe the final act of the creative
week and to find in the production of
woman the climax of Gods creative ener.
gy When he had finished her, he stopped
knowing of nothing better nor higher that
he could design.
Tho profound reading of the first two
chapters of Genesis compels to the highest
possible Interpretation of womanhood
And this is in accord with the impression
that Is yielded by the Scriptures in their
entirety that while man Is gifted with
those properties that make him more
overt and conspicuous figure in the history
of Gods people, yet that when it is mat.
ter of personality carried to tho highest
and most delicate degree of organization
and refinement it is woman upon whom
the Scriptures regularly put the stamp of
divine preferment. And the criptures
have not been read for hundreds and
thousands CT years without the above sen
siment having become in very widO degree
an element III the general estimate. Not
all, but great deal of what is known rs
gallantry is a silent eulogy which man
yields to the queenliness of God favOrite
sex. The same sentiment asserts itself,
although in manner not always under
Stood in the heavier penalty which wom-
an is publicly required to pay when she
sacrifices her womanhood. 1t is easy to say
chat the sin is as much his as hers, and
that social ostracism for her and social
liberation for him is an injustice, and SO
in way it is. At the same time in that
discrimination there is an unconscious
tribute paid to woman, for the dishonor
san DO only as deep as the honor is high
from which it has declined. That estimate
Of woman lies very deeply intrenched in
Che masculine mind.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
One In Blue, One In Gray.

The SUMS rays were rapidly disap-
Fearing behind the western hills of
battlefield of the late war. They
seemed loath to linger on the awful
ceres of wounded and dying men;
darkness would prove fitting shroud
for that solemn scene of death.
Two soldiers lay under tree. One
wore the blue, his neighbor a colonel's
gray. The gray uniform wrthed with
the agony of the colonel; then, per-
ceiving the uniform of blue, he said:
care you much hurt?"
"To death, I'm afraid, sir" was the
reply, in boyish voice, while a young
face was turned toward him.
The colonel crawled to the lads side
and attempted to assist him to his feet,
then, in turn, fell back exhausted.
When he revived, gentle hand was

IS IT THE END ?
A Time of Great Mortality.

Especially Noticeable In Children. - VIII
Man Cease to Exist ? - Can the
"Omega" be Averted?
Why is it, with our improved sanitary
appliances, our care to obtain fresh air,
pure food, and plenty of exercise, the OBJ
servance, in fact, of every hygienic law,
that in spite of every care each succeed
ing generation seems to become weaker
and shorter lived? Is it that we are now
suffering for indiscretions of our ances-
tors, or is that terrible, unknown end of
man at hand ?
Whatever the cause, the existing CON
dition of things is too apparent. Especi-
ally Is this noticeable with the babies.
Instead of the mothers life-giving milk,
they are compelled to begin struggle for
existence with the bottle. The result in
many cases is disastrous. The little one,
failing to obtain necessary nourishment,
grows weaker daily, until death ends the
struggle. The end in these cases is
Simply Starvation.
With this termination so often the case,
the best physicians of the day have re-
sorted to the use of Bovinnc. that great
and original raw food product as a means
to save the babies.
In this connection DIR. A. b, Robinson,
81 Dudley St., Boston. after commencing
Bovinine most highly for various compli-
cations where the waste of disease must
be checked, and new blood, flesh, and
strength created to effect a cure, says
concerning this life-creating preparation,
"With feeble, bottle-fed babies, small
amount added to the milk has in my
practice saved many children"
Bovinine is not medicine, but a

him, will recommend it, and you will

The Field of Journalism.

The ambitious young girl sees the news
papers glittering with the names of wom
en- writers and dreams of joining the bril-
liant throng. That is the career in which
she is sure she can succeed, and perhaps she
can, as success Is often measured. Yet,
in all friendliness, we beg her to think
twice before she adopts this profession.
1t has different grades of workers, but
none of its paths is easy, nor are its emol-
uments magnificent, excepting those
which go to the proprietors. Envies, jeal
ousios and hatreds swarm where men and
women dish up the gossip of the whole
world.

to do newspaper work needs Is a chance.
