As there are about the same number of women in this country as men, ib will be seen that the proportion of the former at work at gainful occupations is smaller than is popularly supposed, only ono in five being engaged at any work from which she derives a revenue. sither in the form of wages and salary or profit in business. This does not mean that the other foar-fftha of tho women are idle, for they probably work as hard as the men, but that tho labor they do produces nothing in a financial way. They are the houaekeepers Of the country, doing the seWing, cooking, nursing and other domestic service for most Of the families. The prevalent be- lief that q majority Of the women ara typeYriting, clerking or filling other positions from which they have crowded out the men is founded en error.

A Beautiful Death Scene.

1t was not an aged pilgrim bowling
on his staff, at the end of long and
burdened pilgrimage, whose dearest
ties were on the other shore awaiting
his coming, that went joyfully to sleep
in death, but a young wife and mother,
at the period when life holds rs most
strongly, tenderly, loving and fondly
loved, who went out from every earth
" tie with the gladness of triumph
And the death scene was so beautiful
and glorious, that even to her loved
ones it did not seem a chamber Of death,
but a JOYOUS departure on delightful
journey flushed with high hopes and
pleasing anticipations. And the be-
reaved are sweetiy comforted by the
memory Of the hour, which was to her,
the time both Of TRANSPORTATION and
translation.
Mrs. Lila G. Shannon, wife of Mr..
H. c. Shannon, and daughter Of Capt.
and Mrs. A. J. Galloway, Of Goldsboro,
n. c., had been from childhood pure,
gentle, unselfsh Christian. The last
year of her life had been one Of ply
steal afIliction which was borne with
such resignation and Christian cheer
fulness, that it was but preparing her
for the near revelation Of the conquer
ing power of faith over death. Dur
ing her final illness, much weakened
by disease, she went into a quiet, pro-
longed sleep. Upon awaking she look
ed around the room with surprised
expression, and asked, Am l dead p
Her sister answered, "No, Lila, you
are still with US. CHANGING around
at the faces present, she said, "yes,
| you are all here, and greeted them

Mrs. Brown enjoyed her long, neigh
borly day, getting new receipt from
sister Martha, and hearing old Mr..
Martin say how ''peart' the baby vas,
and Lucy as rosy as peach blossom.
As for David, she never wearied in
talking Of him, and it was really dusk
before she was fairly started. The
"dividing fence, boundary line be-
tween two large tracts Of mountain
land, was often used as a trysting
place by others than lovers, and
would save David good many steps.
She had wrapped up the baby well
from the night air, and Uncle Martin
had many jokes over the huge knot in
which she had tied a bandana hand
kerchief at the back, 'jest ez ef You
wanted ter tote it by handle.
Poor mother If she had only known
the use that would be made of this
but she did not, and went on her way
down the steep path in good spirits,
Lucy following close behind.
As they reached the fence in the
woods cloud was over the moon, and
it was quite dark but she could see a
dim figure on the other side.
David, have you been waitin
long," she called out, and handed the
baby over in a hurry, turning as she
did so to see what was the matter
with Lucy for the child clung to her
skirts in fright and cried out that it
wasn't David
When with some difficulty she had
lifted her over the fence, struggling
and crying still, and had herself
climbed over-Mrs. Brown was not as
active as she had been-there was no
one in sight.
David she cried. She heard a
rustling in the bushes but the moon,
shining out at that instant, showed
the place empty. David she cried
again, in terror.
Then be appeared just at the bend
of the mountain path whistling cheer
lily with Spot leaping and barking
at his heels. But where was the baby?
For he had called out to her to give
him the child as soon as he had caught
sight of her, and David was not given
to fooling. She could not answer for
her sobbing and crying.
Lucy tried to tell him the strange
story. When she said, "a big, black,
shaggy man, he threw himself on the
ground, examining every mark. Spot
smelled too, and his yellow hair be-
gan to bristle with rage, and ne
growled fercely, for there were sure
ly the recent footprints of some large
