The Opening Doors.

Ask and 1t shall DO given you; seek and ye
shall find; knock and II shall be opened unto
you.
Relatively the Biblical prophecy has
come true of woman. Absolutely there
are some things yet to be fulfilled.
Today's American girl of any and all
stations has SO much more to look for
ward to than her sister Of yesterday that
she need waste no precious time in en-
viously contemplating the superior adj
vantages her other sister Of tomorrow
will enjoy.
Sixty years ago an English woman
since esteemed great came to this coun-
try to observe how women earned liv-
ing. She found one so called profession
and three trades open.
There are now 400 trades and half as
many professions by which thousands
Of women get not only living, but a
competency.
Women cannot vote yet in all these
United States, but they can be and have
been mayors, postmasters, pension
agents, county clerks, city clerks, regis
tiers of deeds, police justices, jurors,
overseers Of the poor. prison commits
sioners, state librarians, school superin-
tendents and supervisors, engrossing

Of women's prisons, police matrons,

A Plucky Woman.

A plucky woman in Washington, who
was one of the many clerks dropped
from the government pay rolls last year.
looked around hard for few weeks for
other clerical work, and finding none
did the next best thing-what she could.
What this was is told in little notice
that appeared in the women's cloak
room in one Of the department build
ings:
Wanted - Washing to do, by good plain
washer and ironer; also clear starching; sat-
isfaction guaranteed and rates reasonable.
The woman's wisdom in selecting as
her employment necessary service
was as apparent as her bravery in un-
dertaking so modest a field Of labor as
that of laundress and clear starcher. AS
the situation was tersely put by another
woman who is making good income
selling stove polish, after almost starry
ing attempting to take orders for fine
embroidery: 1.-The same condition of
affairs which lost me my salaried place
affects the demand for pure luxury
like fine embroideries. Stove polish has
to be used, centerpieces and doilies can
be got on without" When times are
hard, the bread winner finds quickest
returns in supplying a necessity. -

Modern Grace Darlings.

In the good time coming Grace OAR
ling will be merely one Of many ship
saving heroines. The day seems to have
arrived when every town along the
coast has at least one young woman
with a boat and few lives to her
credit. Two Of the most recent recruits
to the saving list are western women
Miss Laura Bradshaw of Oakland and
Mrs. Ida Robinson of San Francisco.
The former rescued laundering yacht
and Mrs. Robinson guided a vessel
through stormy seas from Honolulu.
Miss Bradshaw, who was on the
wharf when the good yacht Rover was
failing in an attempt to make its harbor
because the line by which the boat was
to be moored was not being properly
hauled in, simply rolled up her sleeves
and helped to haul She had strong
arms, and her efforts were successful.
By and by others came to her aid and
the yacht was saved.
Mrs. Robinson was the pilot Of the
good bark Hollinswood during a storm
that split masts and made sails useless,
but Mrs. Robinson steered the ship safe
ly through it all. She has been her IA
theirs navigator for four years and
comes of q seafaring family that regards
trips around the Horn and the Cape of
Good Hope as mere trihes. New York

Does Woman Earn Her Keep?

Thousands Of women work in the
mines Of Belgium and England. In
the first named country they former
ly worked from IL to 10 hours a
day, with no Sunday rest. The linen
thread spinners Of New Jersey, accord
ing to the report of the labor commits
sioner, are Sin one branch Of the in
dustry compelled to stand ON a stone
floor in water the year round, most Of
the time barefoot, with a spray Of wa
ter from revolving cylinder flying
constantly against the breast, and the
coolest night in winter as we'll as the
warmest in summer these poor creatures
must 60 to their homes with water
dripping from their underclothing along
their path because there could not be
space of few moments allowed them
wherein to change their clothing"
Yet women are exempted" from labor
attended by hardship!
Despite these washerwomen, miners
and linen thread spinners, we are told
sit is woman's privilege generally to be
exempted from the care of earning her
livelihood and that Of her offspring"
1t would seem to be time that this
libel upon women should be scorned by
fair minded men. From all antiquity
the majority of women have been faith
full workers, rendering full equivalent
in labor for their scanty share Of the
worlds goods. The origin Of every in
dustry bears testimony to this. In our
own era, while women were still home
keepers, did they not earn their liveli-
hood? What was the weaving, the sew
ing, the cooking, the doctoring, the
nursing, the child care, "the work that
was never DONE" if it was not earning
subsistence? Even in these days, when
woman goes forth and receives the re-
ward of her labor as publicly as man,
she is no moro worthy of her hire. Her
ancestress-sweet and sanity soul-did
not dream Of recompense. But was it
not her due, and shall we refuse to
credit it because man was then self
sufficient ignoramus who deemed him
self the only one fit to acquire property?

Room to Breathe.

It is one of the hopeful and comfort
ing signs of the times that the COM
pressed waist, save on few women, is
rarely seen. Whether it is the bicycle
or the fashion that has wrought this
change or whether women have grown
more sensible and are demanding room
to breathe matters not. The result is
the only thing in which we are specially
interested, and this is exceedingly favor

Woman's introduction into the bust
ness world is no longer an experiment.
The feminine wage Garner is now per-
manent factor in the national economy.
The individual drops out of the ranks to
form center around which home
springs up, but another woman, not a
man, takes her place. The type remains.
More and more places are being made
for women, to such an extent that re-
cent census bulletin reports the increase
in the number Of women employed in
gainful occupations during the period
between 1870 and 1890 to have been 113
per cent, while in trade and transporta-
ton the increase was 1,051 per cent.
This change is significant. 1t is, in
fact, revolution. Twenty or indeed
ten years ago the girls of an ordinary
middle class family i'll which the father
was a small business man, an expert
mechanic, or a farmer capable of sup
porting his family with decency if not
absolute comfort were expected to stay
at home and help with the homework
until they went to preside over homes
of their own. 1t was considered some
thing of slur to say that a mans
daughters were obliged to go out to
work.
Nowadays this sentiment is reversed.
A business training is as much matter
of course for the daughters as for the
sons And no one is surprised when the
daughters prefer putting the training
into practice instead of devoting their
time to household duties enlivened with
social amusements. The growth Of the
idea that woman is an individual, not
an appendage, that she has social duties
and moral responsibilities as we'll as
men, is really at the bottom of the rev.
olution. Mary E. j. Kelley in Lippin-
colts.

The Packet.

The shirt waist, with all its advan-
tages, is productive Of carelessness as to
the skirt, and in spite of numerous de-
vices the band still falls below the
waist line and the placket often yawns.
A certain patent fastening that resem.
bles hook and eye, but remains more
tightly clasped, is an almost certain
remedy for the latter evil at least 1t
behooves the women, who are nice to an
extreme in the matter of collars and
exacting as to ties, to bear the fact in
mind. A white skirt or bit of the silk
petticoat may be harmless in itself, but
the fact of its protruding unbidden calls
down masculine criticism, and in the
point of neatness of attire woman can
not afford to be outdone.

cussed in Australia. 1t is proposed to
call them household employees. They
will eat in the dining room, either with
the family or by themselves. They will
not be at the beck and call of the mis-
tress There will be two shifts of "em-
ployees, " one to work from a. m. to 2
p. M and the other from 2 p. m, to s

afternoons and evenings off every alter

penses Of the household would not be
increased by adopting this step, as do.

of affairs would be rendered so attract

The Opening Doors.
The children Of the sheriff Of Green
county, Mo-, say mamma" when they
address that official. Mrs. Helen Stew
art, who guards the Jail at Springfield,
the county seat, is pleasant appearing
woman Of middle age somewhat stout,
and having features which indicate res.
olution-in short, she looks like nervy
woman, and she is. Several times, with
the aid of one deputy-a man-she has
locked her AZ prisoners in their cells for
the night, and she is not afraid to enter
the Jail proper at any period Of the day
or night unattended. Her husband, the
former sheriff, died year ago, and
Mrs. Stewart asked for the position, as
she had no means of earning living
for herself and two little girls. The
community sympathized with her, and
she was allowed to take her husband 8
place. She resides in the jail but few
feet from where the cells are located.
Her children are 8 and 10 years Of age
respectively, and are being educated by
their mother, who before marriage was
Q school teacher in New York state.
Mrs. Stewards deputies make most Of
the arrests, but she has served several
criminal warrants herself, and in all in
stances has taken her prisoners to the
Jail without difficulty, for people in this
county know that she is an excellent
pistol shot and always carries her re-
