should Women work,

A writer in a contemporary argues
that women should not work. Certain
ly. great many women would be glad
II the writer could give them some
plan by which they might escape from
doing 30 much hard labor as many of
them have TO do. But we presume he
means they should not do the work
which naturally belongs to man.
should not be slaves to hard or de-
grading labor which Injuries the health
and destroys happiness. His argu-
ment runs as follows: Marriage

The experiment of putting woman
in charge of part of the street clean

ers. One of them said. through an
interpreter. We like the woman. She
doesn't curse and swear at us. Man
foreman drive us around like slaves
and call us bad names She
say, How do?' and other nice things
and then we do good work. She Sc;
it and say SO. That make us fee

Proportional representation is be-
coming a rather live question in this
country. The more the people inves-
tigate the idea the more favorable il
appears. What can be more just thar
the proposition that each party be rep
resented in congress or elsewhere ac-
cording to its voting strength. Th'
present congress. for instance, is over
whelmingly Republican. Yet on tht
popular vote the Democrats pollet
within half a million as many votes al
the Republicans. Therefore to proper
ly represent the wishes of the people
congress should be nearly tie. The
Populists, Silver Republicans. Prohi-
bitionists, Nationalists and woman
suffragists would also have represen.
tation according to their proportion ol
the vote cast Big majorities are al
ways dangerous to political parties
and therefore double danger.
Gus to the welfare OF the
whole people. Every congress that
has had big party majority has made
a bad record. Every congress tina;
has had a small majority has done
we'll. Proportional representation il
bound to become a very live question
and that in the very near future.

was ever so large. but the secret lay in
the fact that it was composite egg.
Two bags of flannel were made. one
round and the other oval, the round
one being much the smaller. Into the
round one was dropped at once the
yolks of eight eggs, nearly filing the
bag. After the yolks were boiled hard
tney were left until cool. and then the
nannel was cut on. The whites of the
eggs were put into the oval bag. and
the ball of yolks carefully slipped in
to them. When the whites had
cooked and cooled the second bag was
cut away. Experimenting was necss-
sary to find the right size of the bags
Tor the number of eggs and the proper
tionate size for the yolk alone ana
the entire egg. 1t was another nice
point to allow for the second boiling
OF the yolks without getting them too
hard and TO locate the yolks in the
middle of the whites. This was most
satisfactorily accomplished by putting
naif OF the whites into the bag. then
dropping in the yolks and finishing
with the rest of the whites. The
ouoyancy of the whites maintained the
position OF the yolk Afterward the
inventor of the mammoth egg had two
light tin cases made of the proper
shape and dimensions. but there is no
record of her having obtained patent
on her device.
