Says the Baltimore Herald: The
result of girls and women taking the
places of men in occupations that do
not call for physical strength must be
a constant lowering of the average,
and probably serves to prevent ad-
vances when the trade conditions
enable employers to raise wages.
What helps to keep down remunera-
tion are the thousands of females out
of employment. The fierce competi-
tion created by surplus of this kind
of labor prevents those who have work
from receiving sufficient compensation
to maintain them. The lot of this
class is deplorable, and what to do for
them constitutes one of the most diff
cult problems to the solution of which
economists can apply themselves.

Trustworthy advices indicate that
Peru is soon to become an active com
petitor in the petroleum trade of the
world. The Peruvian oil fields are
enormous in area, occupying some
1900 square miles, and are almost as
rich in their deposits as those of
Pennsylvania. which consist of only
$50 square miles. The territory is
being developed rapidly; crude petro-
leum is now used exclusively on the
locomotives of all Peruvian railways,
and with the introduction of North
American processes of refining and
transportation, the Peruvian product
will speedily become apowerful factor
in the trade throughout the world.

Professor Munk. of the Unive

Professor Munk, of the University
of Berlin, famous for his discoveries
IN the physiology of the brain, says it
is great mistake to suppose that
gymnastic exercises sandwiched in be-
tween school hours rest the pupils.
On the contrary, he says, they still
more fatigue the brain, which ought
to have absolute rest If both studies
and gymnastics are to be indulged in
ON the same day, he says, they should
be separated by intervals of rest.
