WOMEN PHARMACISTS.

There are between 800 and 400
women in the United States who have
received their degree in pharmacy,
the majority of whom have charge of
the drug rooms of various hospitals or
are engaged as dispensing clerks. =
A few have drug stores of their own,
and to their credit be it said none of
them have as yet been held responsible
for errors in compromising prescrip-
tions, which has so often happened to
apothecaries who have had inefficient
or careless assistants. s sss
Women are generally more thorough
in whatever they undertake than the
opposite persuasion and are endowed
with tact and facility for calculating
results with wonderful rapidity. 1t
is these things which help to make
women druggists successful.
The salaries for dispensing clerks are
graded according to the place they fill;
the average is from $40 to $75 per
month. Women occupying the position
of chief pharmacist in large hospitals
are paid anywhere from 5000. to 5000
per annum.
As yet the demand for women drug
gists, particularly as dispensing clerks
in either drug stores OF institutions. is
far in excess of the supply. A large
wholesale drug house has in it's employ
woman buyer.
She travels in Europe in their inter-
est, and is reported to be one of the
shrewdest buyers in the foreign trade.
She is the first and as yet the only
woman to fill such position. Several
manufacturing chemists employ women
pharmacists in different capacities. -

AN INDIAN BABY.

If the watchful American mother who
carefully guards her baby against the
cold and gives it a daily bath in per-
fumed water, could follow a Mojave
Indian child through its infancy she
would more than once be horror

their children. The manner in which
they do it is most amusing. They go

He secured the proper size of eye by
having the person for whom it was
made stand before him as he worked.
Having the shell complete, he bent
down over a Bunsen burner. and, just
touching its upper surface to the flame,
he worked the eye design ON the glass
with little sticks of vari -colored glass,
the points of which were melted in the
flame.
The work requires wonderfully
steady hand and true eye in order to
make the iris and the retina of the
proper color and shape. The workman
is so skilled that he can copy direct from
the person who stands before him.

TO attaon. MOSG frequently small
springs fitting into the ear duct are
used, but they are likely in the end
to seriously impair the hearing.
Other physical deficiencies are rem
edied by wig, false teeth and glass
eyes. The last are made almost ex-
clusively in Thuringia, Germany. and
the workmen are marvelously expert.
Visitors at the Worlds Fair last
summer will reminder the quiet little
workman who sat in one corner of a
great building and made eyes from
morning until night, part Of them for
dolls, part of them for human beings
and occasionally one for horse OF
some other pet animal. The work
man, whose name was Muller, had
come over from Germany to show how
his people worked, and when the fair
was over he set up little shop in
Chicago and tried for awhile to make
his industry flourish on American sell.
But after time he found that the
wholesale dealers persisted in sending
across the water for their supplies, and
he grew SO homesick that he finally
returned to the fatherland, and he Is
now doubtless working in some one of
the quaint little Thuringian villages.
1t will be remembered that he was
marvelously deft in his work. First he
blew bulb from molten glass; then
when it was cold he carefully broke off
one side 80 rs to leave shell, the
edges Of which were bluntsd by melting.

An Illinois statue Favoring Women

The Supreme Court of Illinois gave a
decision at Mount Vernon Thursday, de-
claring that the cight.hour law, or as 1t
Is generally known, the sweat-shop law,
Is unconstitutional. The law prohibited
the employment of women for more than
eight hours a day, or more than forty.
eight hours week, in any factory within
the borders of Illinois. In deciding the
case the judges also pronounced illegal
section 10 of the bill, which provided an
annual appropriation of $2O,OOO for fac
tory inspectors, whose chief duty was to
see that the eight-hour clause was en-.
forced. The burden of the decision 10 that
women In respect to contracts are on the
same footing with men, and that an act
which abridges the freedom of contract

full occupation IL unconstitutional. While
the law related exclusively to the employ
mcnt of women, 1t was understood ut the
time of its passage that u similar measure
regulating the number of hours men could
be hired to work would follow on Its
heels. Probably 10000 women In Illinois
who work In factories are affected by the
decision. $1,000 Of whom live in Chicago.
They are employed in the main In shoe
factories. cloak and clothing houses. can.
ny factories. papcr-box shops and various
other manufacturing establishments.
