Outdoor Work For Women.

Mary E. Spencer writes for The Globe
Democrat a paper on this subject. It is
so full Of the favor Of ripe strawberries,
the hum of bees and the perfume Of honey
and roses as to make one long for the
fullness Of life that comes only from ex-
istence passed in the open air. Mrs.
Spencer believes that it would be for the
improvement of the race all round if
women and girls went into flower and
small fruit culture and lived more out
doors. She says:
Our homes will be moro Astounding in health,
and society will be the better for womanly in
dependence. Awoman who fears to do what
is economical and wholesome and invigorating
helps in dcgenerating the stock. If l were
now young girl, I would go to the Pacific
states and engage in horticulture. | would
have my berry gardens and my bees and assert
my independence. see no reason why girl
should crowd her way into Office employment.
What she needs for the full development of her
nature is the open air and open field. Flori-
culture is peculiarly our natural industry.
do not say that men are out of place in this
branch of gardening, but do say that women
and flowers go well together, and that they
should undertake to control the greenhouse in
dustries and the flower gardens in the suburbs
of cities. In England laundry work is passing
into the hands Of women, where it belongs
horticulture also belongs to US. said q young
woman would do well to 60 to the Pacific coast
that is, it is always to be expected that the
farther west we go the larger the freedom and
the less the bondage of prejudice.
1t would not be necessary, however.
for the women and girls who wished to
engage in flower and small fruit culture
to go to the Pacific states. The business
would be eminently successful if carried
on wisely in the vicinity of any of the
older cities Of the Union. The only in
ducement to go to the far west would be
the fact that women have more rights in
the new states and are not bound down
by conventionalism to the extent they
are in the older portions of the country.

Have we lost Willie Waldorf Astor
forever from his own native land? We
fear we have, since Willie Waldorf has
bought Cliveden, one Of the ancestral
seats Of the Duke Of Westminster The
head of the Astor family is now Brit
Usher. The only thing lacking to perfect
felicity is title. It used to be that
rich citizens could buy that, too, but
those happy days are past. The only
hope for Willie Waldorf is that some
lucky accident or scheme may bring him
to the favorable notice of Queen Victoria
or the Prince of Wales We do not know
what his title should be, but we can tell
the coat of arms. Let it be coonskin
rampant, tackled upon the gable of log

Wealth Of Nations.

England dominates the worlds mon.
ey market because her manufactures
have heaped up SO much wealth that its
owners invest it abroad. England is
therefore the creditor nation of the
world. Her foreign Investments, many
Of them in the United States, are put at
$4,000, 900, 900, bringing in to her an
annual income in interest and dividends
of $440, 0O0,O 900. The result is that the
wealth Of Great Britain, as adjudged
from the income tax, is greater than
that of any other nation. It amounts tc
81, 800 per capita for all her population
of 1000, 600. France comes next, with
a valuation Of 81, 0S1 per head of popu.
lation. In the United States the wealth
is about 81, 900 to each individual.
1t is interesting to note how the
worlds wealth has increased in the last
half century. The rate of increase and
the manner Of it are alike worth not
ing. The figures Of increase do not real.
ly represent SO great gain in houses,
personal property, machinery, etc. They
represent often nero rise in price of
the Same articles. The same plot of
ground that was worth 81, 900 a genera
ton ago is valued at So, 900 now. 1t
will raise no moro grain or food prod
ucts. One who cultivates it can get nc
more off it than he could then. Count
ing the interest on the value of the
land, therefore, he is for practical pur-
poses poorer than he was when his
ground was only worth half SO much.
Ono difficulty in the way Of obtaining
exact statistics of wealth in the Amer
lean Union is the fact that thinly set
tied states, Oh account of excessive land
valuation, often figure as much richer
than they are, for practical purposes, at
any rate.
Australia has been reckoned as the
wealthiest land per capita Of it's inhab-
itants On the globe. But Australia is
practically owned by Great Britain, so
immense are the homo country's invest
ments in the southwestern continent.
In Australia, too, excessive land valua-
ton has mado the people seem richer
than they are.
Judging by that increased valuation,
which will yield neither additional
food, clothing nor shelter, the price of
dwelling houses alone in Great Britain
has increased in one generation 600 per
cent
