Watchword makes the following effective
showing:
It has been stated that the Caledonian
Distillery, at Edinburgh, whose OUTPUT of
liquor is over fl 500, 900 (S7, $50 OOO) worth
per annum, only employs l50 men, Compare
THIS with the Atlas Iron Works at Shefield
whose turnover is about the same amount
and where the number Of men employed Is
over 5OOO. With the same turnover of
money In the business In which the writer
Is engaged (stay-making), Instead of en-
pioying 100 we could actually ourselves
md employment for 10000 people. But in
ADDITION TO this, In order to keep our oper-
atives fully employed, we should be the
means OF giving employment to quite an
other 5000, for we should require (in addi-
tion to boilers, engines, shafting, etc.) a
large number of additional cutting ma
shlnes, 200 pair OF shears annually, about
10000 sewing machines-which would re-
1uiret to be replaced every seven years
and between times we should fedufre TO
replace breakages and ordinary wear and
tear, which would be enormous. We should
also require $50, 900 needles every year, and
i5O,O ,OOO pieces OF cloth would be wanted an
nuaily. At the very least 10 900 gross of
reels OF cotton (of 1000 yards each): 1000
tons of steel strips; 1000 tons Of twine. cane.
horn and whalebone; 10000 gross yards OF
lace, and twenty tons of silk would be
wanted, besides host of other things. A
similar demand would ensue from many
other trades were this immense turnover
tnelrs. In this way all industries would
reap the benefit. But what has the drink
trade to show as set-off against this large
employment OF labor? Beyond few coop
ers, giassblowers, caskmakers, etc., abso-
lutely nothing.

The Increase of Homes.

One of the best possible facts in the
! latter-day progress of this country is
the increase in the number of homes.
In crowded centers of population, such
as New York and one or two other
cities, the fiat and the hotel must
always be necessary, for space is too
valuable to be monopolized by the
humble. But even around the very
large. cities there are being built thou
sands and thousands of suburban cot
tages and country residences, and all
through the length and breadth of the
country, in the towns, villages and
cities, artistic homes are increasing at
an astonishing rate. If any one will
take the trouble to look up the litera-
ture on the subject he will find that in
this country there are more than a hun
dred papers devoted to these home
builders, giving them each week plans
and suggestions. The numberof books
upon low-priced architecture, written
in the past fifteen years, exceeds the
total for century previous. A wider
education is being spread, and the gain
in every way is enormous.
A man who owns his home is bet
ter citizen, even if there is a mortgage
on it. There is feeling of personal
partnership in the protection of prop
erty and the preservation of public
order which makes him stand for what
is best in law and government. It is
the best possible thing for his wife
and children; best for him and best for
the country. y.-Leslie's Weekly.

"Can there be any possible harm in
killing owls for women's hats?" ex-
claimed a New York milliner to mem
Der of the Audubon Society the other
day. ''Of what use are the horrid
creatures to anybody?"
The pretty milliner was quite sur
prised when told that owls were very
useful birds. Owls eat the field mice
and other small rodents that work
great injury to the farmer, and every
one that is lost not only means a men
ace to the farmers, but distinct loss
to agriculture.
DIR. G. Hart Merriam, ornithologist
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, has estimated that in
Offering bounty on owls and hawks,
which resulted in the killing of more
than 100000, the State of Pennsyl-
vania sustained loss of nearly S.

Ladies' as shin Nrnsterr.

Lady Ernestine Brudenell- Bruce has
forwarded some correspondence which
has passed between herself and the
Board of Trade with reference to an
application recently made by her to be
examined for q yacht masters certifi-
cate. On August ii last Mr.. Howell,
the Assistant Secretary to the Board,
wrote that the admission Of ladies to
examination for certificates Of COM
potency is not contemplated by the
regulations, and that the Board regret
that they cannot permit lady to be
examined for yacht masters certificate
To this her ladyship replied that, as
the certificate is purely voluntary and
only entities her to command her own
property, she would submit that the
position was somewhat different to her
applying for an ordinary certificate of
competency to enable her to serve in
any ship, and therefore she consid-
cred it unfair to be debarred by rea-
son of her sex from obtaining certif-
cate which could not be of any pecuni-
ary benefit TO herself, and the non
possession of which would not prevent
her from holding command of her
yacht. Mr.. Howell having again de-
clared the inability of the Board to
give effect to Lady Ernestine's wishes,
the latter replied to the effect that, as
there is no rule or regulation which
stipulates that lady may not present
herself for examination, she would be
obliged if the Board would favor her
with their reasons for refusing to al
low her to obtain the voluntary certif-
cate for yacht master; and on Septem-
Der z the Board of Trade replied, stat
ing that they had always considered
and held that masters certificate
clearly implies that it is confined to
men.-London Times.

siyely in the decoration of hats.
Various shades of red and cerise
still hold popular favor, and we have
become so used to seeing this brilliant
color in millinery, that it no longer
attracts undue attention. Some

Satin Stocks and Linen Collars.

The newest stocks are of satin cut
on the bias and interlined with crino-
line; they form plain band, hooking
vt the back, with ends brought to the
tront and tied there in short bow.
Linen collars worn with flannel and
silk shirt-waists have string tie or
tour-in-hand scarf. A yard and n
quarter of three-inch ribbon, plaid,
striped or figured, is worn as stock,
folding it softly across the front TO the
back, crossing it there, bringing it to
the front again, and there knotting it
like four-in-hand tie. Never put a

use in winter. It's novelty consists in
the fact that the snow is blown off the

plow. 1t is q pioneer invention,
