BUSINESS WoMEN's HOME.


What Is Being Done In This Field In
New York by Mrs. Dunlop Hopkins.
There are thousands of self supporting
working women in every large city in
the United States. In New York alone
there are 10000 professional women,
200, 900 working girls and 9,7o0 students
in art schools, conservatories and col
leges. These women, with the exception
of the very few thousands who live with
friends or relatives, find their only sub
stitute for homes in east side hotels and
second rate boarding houses. The aver
age working girl finds the only solution
Of the home problem in the hall bed
room.
In Chicago, San Francisco and Dem
yer this has been achieved in a modest

Woman Slavery.

Woman slavery continues in San Fran
cisco, and the importation of Chinese
girls is increasing. The Pacific Ensign
says:
There is no disputing the fact that
they are slaves of the most abject order.
and, nearly all being between 18 and 90
years of age, their commercial value is
from 81, 900 to 1900 each. OF course
the laws of the land prohibit unrestrict-
ed Chinese immigration, but all these
undesirable females claim the right to
land on the ground that they are the
wives of merchants in this city, or that
they are native daughters.

How to Improve the Carriage,

An erect and graceful carriage is al
ways great charm in a woman. A
STOPPING, slouching gait is ugly, and it
is always advisable for young girls to
have physical training and be taught
how to carry themselves. Exercises
which tend to develop grace of body and
motion should be practiced daily, and
it is as well to remember that the body
needs as much training as the mind.

How Russian caviare Is Made.

Caviare is very important product
in Russia, the most of it coming from
the sturgeon. The roe is taken out of
the fish and rubbed on sieve to remove
the skin, the meshes being large enough
to allow the eggs to pass through, leav-
ing the skin behind. The caviare is then
covered with brine. The difference be-
tween the fresh caviare and the ordinary
kind put up for export is in the length
of time it remains in the brine. After it
is removed and drained it is put up in
cans, jars and small kegs and is ready
for market. The cheaper kind is put in
to linen bags and pressed. This is called
pressed caviare and is much inferior
article.

Did Not want Extremes.

A young contralto at a Handel con-
cert which Sir Joseph Barnby was con-
Quoting, at the end of a solo, put in a
high note instead of the less effective
note usually sung. This innovation
shocked the conductor, and he immedi-
ately asked whether Miss Singer
thought she was right in trying to inn
prove upon Handel. "Well, Sir Joseph, =
said she, 1--WE got an e, and don't see

How to Wash SILK Vests without Ironing

HOW TO wash SILK vests WlLnONb ironing
A very simple and pretty front is
made of wash silk carved out at the
throat lines and basted on stiff collar,
about which a ribbon is tied, finishing
in bow at the back. The silk is long
enough to hang a little full at the
waist. A thread is run about two inches
from the bottom, drawing the fullness
into the front, and this is tucked under
the band of the skirt and held firmly in
place by the belt of leather or ribbon.
To launder this all that is necessary
is to rip OF the collar, let out the draw
ing thread, wash it thoroughly in warm
soapsuds, rinse in cold water and while
still very wet pin it, stretched tightly,
on lapboard or any smooth surface.
When dry, it will be as free from
wrinkles as if ironed and as soft as new
silk. 1t is a great mistake ever to iron
thin silk, as, if done when damp, it be-
comes as crackly as paper, while if al
lowed to partly dry first it is almost
impossible to entirely remove the rough,
dry appearance, unless a very hot iron
is used, in which case there is danger
of scorching.

A GRAVE WELL GUARDED.-Beulah
Ryder, 3-year.od child, died a fsw
days ago at the home OF her stepfather
at Fremont, Pa, under suspicious cir
cumstauces. Alter the irterment,
Heilman, the stepfather, asked permis
sion of the coroner to remove the body,
but this request vas refused. Fearing
that the body would be disnterred
during the night, the coroner set q
watch at the grave and stood on guard
himself. During the night four men
appeared in the cemetery, and when
The coroner rose up fusiade began.
The coroner was slightly wounded on
the forehead and one of the four men
wounded in the leg. On Monday it
was learned that the four men whom
the coroner supposed had come to st, al
the child's body were really upon the
same mission rs himself-to protect the
grave. They thought the coroner was

MITCHELLs STATION, July 81
There is negro desperate at larg" in
this neighhorhood and Il reward of 500
is offered for his apprehension. The
reward had no attraction TO induce the
citizens 10 leave their work, but when
on Saturday afternoon, during the ab-
sence of all OF Mr.. Walter Yuger's
family excepting two young sons and a
colored servant hoy, this criminal on
tered Mr. Yuger's house, cursing and
swearing at the children and demand
lug something to eat and because he
did not get it, or from sheer deviltry,
drew pistol and sent ball through the
hall floor. Then the whole neighbor-
hood was aroused and searching par
ties secured the country to arrest him,
but so far without success.

Politics is positively hot in our
county, more SO in respect to the legis-
lature than the gubernatorial can
didates. 1t may be remarked
in passing that early in the spring our
very able aud patriotic State chairman
Elyson had this county, as we thought,
decided in his favor, and we expeclei
to send a solid delegation for him, but
from some unknown cause there has
been an almost complete revolution OF
sentiment in favor of Tyler. Ellyson
deserves well ut the hands of the dem
ocratic party, for he is not only able
and efficient as our chairman, but was
patriotic enough to eschew his personal
preference for the gold standard during
the last campaign and work for the
success OF the Chicago platform. Such
devotion to party principles is the only
road to success, and Ellyson exempli-
fed it last fall in the face of bitter de-
uunciation on the part of the gold ring.
