As there are about the same number of women in this country as men, it will be seen that tho proportion of tho former at work at gainfal occupations is smaller than is popularly supposed, only one in five being engaged ct any work from which she derives a revenue, either in the form of wages and salary or profit in business This does not mean that the other four-fiftha of the women arc idle, for they probably work as hard as the men, but that tho labor they do produces nothing in financial way. They are the housekeepers of the country, doing the sewing, cooking, nursing and other domestic service for most of the families. The prevalent be- lief that majority of the women arc typewriting, clerking or filling other positions from which they have crowded out the men is founded on error The great majority of them arc still at home attending to their household duties, and only very small proportion are out in the world struggling with the other sex for living New Orleans Tirnes- Den-

Only Two Sundays Missed En Nine Xeare,
 Eight Months and Two WeelSs.
 A 13-year-old boy in Danvillc, Ky thinks he is entitled to the worlds championship for Sunday school attend. ance He has been in his seat at the Methodist Church South on every Sun. day morning except two for 9 years, 8 months and 3 weeks ending Sunday, Jan, 10. On one of the two exceptions he was down with the measles and on the other day he was unavoidably de- tained. More than this, he has now been in his class on sos consecutive Sundays, and he says he is going to keep it up until he has 1000 straight Sundays to his credit.
 The boy's name is John c. Eastland, Jr. He joined the Sunday school in May, 1887, when he was but 8 littio more than 3 years old, and he has been going ever since. What makes this reg. ularity of attendance the more remark. able is that until few months ago the Eastlands lived six miles out in the country and had to drive to town before 9 o'clock every Sunday morning. Much of the time John has had to come through all sorts of disagreeable weath- CT, and very frequently by himself. Sometimes he has come through bind. ing. rain and blizzards, when other chil. dren who lived within stone's throw of the church have staid away.

Fancy Waists.

Immediately afteG the holidays all the large establishments offer for salo number of costumes which wero import ed in the autumn, and among them are many very beautiful French gownq Fancy waists of every description are also to be had, and, while there is nc doubt that it is more in style to have elEift and waist of the same material, it will be q long time before separate waists are pronounced entirely out of fashion. There arc so many occasions when an odd waist is just what is need. cd that women will not consent to give them up until tho last moment Chiffon that wonderful material, still proves most alluring, and, made up in the solid eolors, is smart and becoming Different shades of red, blue and purple, made very simply, but with no economy as re- gards the quantity used, are greatly in favor In pale blue Q pretty style has the surpliee effect Where the foldaeross Is graceful rosette, and the ruff at the back ef the collar is held up by a band pf gold passementerie studded with tar. quoises, while Q narrow belt to matoh is @ charming finish to the waist 4 red waist, fashioned like the blne, has imi. tation rubies instead of the turquoises and rem natural are the stones h pale maHve is an exquisite waist with collar and belt of amethysts which stones, by the way have fairly jumped into fashion and are worn in brooches collars, belts and the inevitable chain about the neck.
 On all the chiffon waists the sleeves are.shi1red and puffed--and the mate rial is particularly adapted to shirrina --whilo full puffs on tho tops of the aleeyes add tho desired breadth to the shoulders. Satin is preferred to silk for the lining. as the sheen it possesses seems to add more 1uster to the thin fab. ric. Black chiffon waists de not show any marked change of style and are trimmed with horse hair net with many jeweled ornaments sewed on around the collar and in eo1selet style.-Harper's Bazaar.

 w F. Carson of Tacoma travelling messenger agent of the Canadian Pacific, and e. Mel. Brown, tho company's district passenger agent at Vancouver, have just returned from extended trips through the famed mining districts of the Kootenai country and report the greatest activity, notwithstanding the advent of winter.
 "The prospeotors are sticking a little closer to the camps on account of the snow, " said MT. Carson, "but other wise there is as much work going on as if there were not from two to three feet of snow on the ground. The Kootenai is such a wonderful country that 1t half the truth were told of its mineral wealth if would not be credited. A recent find that has excited great deal of atten. tion is the discovery of an actual coppes sprinc. now known as the Red Blanket, in the Lilloeet district, just north oi Spencer's bridge on the Canadian Fa' C1tie. The water in solution runs SS.f hounds of copper to 200 gallons, ana fo.0O0 gallons day come tumbling down the mountain side.

THE DOCTORS STORY.
An Experience That Followed Call a
 Night.

An Experience That Followed a Call as
 Night.
 Four or five physicians were talking up town the other evening at the home of one, and the conversation later turned to shop. One of them had recently moved his office down town, and there was some discussion as to the adYisabil. ity of separating house and office.
 We'll, said the separatist 1T can't see any difference so long as I am at my office during office hours.
 Let me tell you story, remarked the oldest man in the party Thirty years ago, when began practice, ! lived in Virginia, and for year or two slept in my office Then I married, and my wife owned a nice house, and I went to it to live. It sat back from the street about 50 feet, and we decided that it would be much nicer if we had my office out on the street ill the far corner of the lot. Only 50 feet away, you will ob. serve. but still it was enough. Tn order to see such callers as came during the night had a night bell and speaking tube connecting the front door of the office with my bedroom. You see, I did not want patient to escape under any circumstances
 We'll, everything went nicely enough for three years or so, when one night a ring came to my bell It was then about 3 o'clock ill the morning, and the ring was a hot one. asked who it was, and the answer came from friend of mine to the effect that he was mighty sick man and wanted to see me at once. 1 told him to come around to the house and would meet him at the door and take care of him. Then got up, and, putting on my dressing gown and slip pers, proceeded to the front door. But there was no one there and no one in sight on the way between the gate and the house.
 "That was odd, and l went back and called through the tube to know what was wrong. l received no answer and, being quite unable to account for it, took my lamp-it was a very dark and still night-and started to go out and investigate. Just as was about to step off the porch lowered my lamp to get better light on the step, and there at the foot of the porch lay body. I turned it over at once, and as the light fell on the face SAW it was my friend who had only aminute before spoken to me. He was quite dead And when an examination was made, it was discovered that he had died of heart disease, and so near to me that I could almost have touched him Possibly I could not have been of any service to him if I had seen him when he first rang the bell, but the possibility that I might so affected me that from that day to this have had my office as near my bed as l could get it "-Exohange.

rifice five hundred year? 1 decided
that l could do neither.
| All this time l was without explicit
Intelligence of Julia. 1t was maddening.
To think of this poor dear wayward
child alone, as it were, though not quite,
in great city, consuming her own pride.
For l felt, you see, that she really still
loved me as l loved her And yet not
one word could l get from the worthy,
devoted old housekeeper, who looked af-
ter her.
! But one evening, when many weeks
had passed and had bred wrinkle on
my brow, who should come to see me
but Mrs. Green herself-this same good
housekeeper.
" 'Tis no good talking, Mr.. Willough-
BY she burst forth, land for nobody that

Go on, Mrs. Green" urged, and she
went on.
"rhc times we've had, sir, I'd never
have believed possible, and all along of
with the animal, Mr.. Willoughby, but
not as she've grown of late There's an
evil spirit in that beast, not fit for a
decent person to live with--and least of

You are extremely right, Mrs. Green,

THE very last thing, sir, was the
scratching of the King of Scotland from
head to foot, and him ready to be sent to

all for nothing!' my young lady sobbed
and said, appointing to the cat, which Law
