Hired Homes.

The pace at which we are becom-
ing nation living in hired homes is
dangerous. The last census return
ed a total number of 12, 800, 152 fam
lilies living in the United States. OF
these the number owning and occu-
plying mortgaged homes and farms
was 1880, 600, leaving 10, 44o, 152
families occupying hired homes or
homes free of incumbrance. Rome,
which is pointed out as warning,
had population of 1000, 1000 souls,
and 10000 of its families lived in
hired houses, while less than 1000
families owned homes, all of which
were palaces Eof the wealthy class
This state of things in Rome ended
in catastrophe. Exchange.

Those who wish to carry on a
secret correspondence with their
friends should try invisible or SYM
pathetic ink. A whole page may be
filed with writing and still be en-
tirely white, as if there wasn't a
word upon it. In this way it may
be sent any distance, and no one can
find out what it contains. But the
person who receives it knows the
secret of bringing out" the writing
so that it may easily be read.
One of the simplest of these invis-
ible inks is very diluted solution of
sulphuric acid. Buy 5 cents worth
of the acid at a drug store and pour
in considerable quantity of water,
at least three or four times as much
as there is of the acid. Now, write
with this solution, using an ordinary
pen, and blot the surplus link" as
you go along. To make the writing
show black, all your correspondent
has to do is to hold the letter close
to a hot stove, when, presto, out come
the letters and words one by one,
SO that they may easily be read.
Another good secret ink, more
difficult to bring out than the one
already mentioned, can be made by
using a cheap solution of sugar of
lead. To bring out the written words
it is necessary to sponge the letter
with a solution of sulphuret of am
mOnia.
Another simple secret ink is made
of a weak solution of ordinary
starch. A letter written with this
will remain entirely invisible until
it is washed with a solution of TO-
dine, which quickly brings out the
writing.
In using secret ink it is best to
write an ordinary letter telling
about the weather and other unim-
pOrtant things, and then between
the lines write with the secret ink.
This will serve to lead quite astray
any one who sees the letter, because
there could be no suspicion of any.
thing written between the lines. II

Painter to the King.

In 1852 Ramsay succeeded Shack
elton asportrait painter to the court,
an appointment which multiplied
his commissions, especially for pic
lures of royal personages, to an in
ordinate extent, turning his studio
into a mere mandatory Of por-
traits. Little in these but the head
was executed by himself, and even
the head in course of time fell to
pupils who, like Reimagle the elder,
had caught their masters manner.
The king was in the habit of pre-
senting elaborate full lengths of
himself and queen to all the foreign
ambassadors (two of the first of
these went to the Duke de Nivernais,
at Paris). And Ramsay g studio, first
in Soho and afterward in Harley
street, where it overfiowed into the
hayloft and coachrooms at the
back, was seldom free from royal
effigies in various stages of compo-
sition. - Austin Dobson's Eight

SleeD.

A contemporary, in an interesting
article on sleep and the varying
amounts of it required, remarks that
there are many degrees in the quail
ity Of repOse, from the uneasy, bro
ken slumber that affords little or no
refreshment to the deathlike stupor
of exhaustion, and that it would be
instructive to, know toward which
of these extremes the rest of the
long and short sleeper respectively
tends. l have before me the record
of fully occupied person who, takes
on an average SIX hours or Tess in
summer and about seven in winter
and who, the moment her head is
on the pillow, falls into unconscious
ness so profound that on waking she
has apparently never even moved in
bed, but it by no means follows that
others would enjoy equally sound
rest by reducing the time given to
it, and it would be a dangerous mis-
take to lay down any general rule
about a matter which must obvious
ly depend on individual constitution
just as much as do our requirements
in the way of food.-Lady's Picto-

NV oARLlNe's coMlNs HOME TO-DAY.

What makes the sky 50 bright and blue.
The earth around so wondrous fair?
The woods and fields are fun of song,
thousand sweets are in the air.
The golden ,sunbeams I'LL the place
Where once the heaviest shadows lay,
Aud all outdoors seems glad because
My darling's coming home today.
But yesterday twas dark as night
And full Of desolation, too, ..
And thoughts of i'll, so dark and chill,
Appeared with every breeze that blew.
But with the morn message came
. That drove the shadows all away,
And right along I've sung this song
My darling's coming home today.
How long and wearisome the time
That we were doomed apart to dwalll
All, was it months, or was it yearsP
Alas, alas, cannot tell
Each day appeared a century
OF loneliness and bitter pain
Ny heart at war and longing for
My darling TO come home again.
And now the waiting time is DER,
Hopes sweet fruition fills my breast,
And dismal doubts and gloomy fears,
Those evil birds, have fed their nest.
All things around radiance wear
AS If in festival array,
And smiling so they surely know
My darling's coming home today.

The Earth's WEIGHT.

Professor Richarz and DIR. Krigar
Mcneil Of Berlin announce, as the
result of Investigations extending
over 10 years, that "the density of
the earth is such that the globe
weighs 54,6S1, 00o, 600, 900, 900 tons. I"
The odd triilion gives such an air of
extreme accuracy to the statement
that one is almost tempted to in
quire whether the Berliners use the
French or the English system of no.
tation in making their computa-
tons. 1t would make quite a. diff

MEN GET HIGHER WAGES
SHOW MAN is BEING
DEPRIVED OF WORK.
ONLY CIGAR MAKERS OBJEC7
Employers, Labor Commissioner Wright's Re-
port Says, Prefer Female Labor Be-
cause il is Cheaper.

The eleventh annual report of the Uni
ted States Labor Commissioner, Carroll
d. Wright, "cOrrobOrates investigators
who claim that women are entering into
work at the expense of men," 1t is
likely that all the arguments against
the new woman will be revived by those
who study this report.
Mr.. Wright's figures show thai be-
tween 1870 and 1890 the percentage of
females ten years of age and over en-
ployed in all occupations in the United
States increased from 14.6S in 1870 to
1922 per cent. in 1890.
The proportion of men inthe same field
of labor decreased from S5.32 per cent.
in 1870 to S27S per cent. in 1890.
The number of women employed in
agriculture, fishing and mining increased
more than one-sixth between the dates
mentioned These pursuits are not sup
posed to tempt women. Yet from 6.47
per cent in 1870 the proportionate num-
Der of women engaged inthem increased
to 7.54 per cent in twenty years.
In 'woman's realm" that is. in domes-
tic and personal service, the report
states that from AZ per cent. of women
engaged there has been drop to 30 per
cent According to Mr.. Wright's fig
ures men. in self-defence, are usurping
woman's accredited kingdom. While the
women have left domestic employment
the number of men employed as cooks,
housekeepers, etc, has increased. Thus
it seems women are becoming farmers,
and men cooks.
There has been an especially large gain
in the proportionate number of women
who have gone into manufacturing and
mechanical industries, the percentage
being 14.44 in 1870. and 20.1S in 1890.
Men, on the other hand, dropped from
So per cent. to 20. An economist may,
from these percentages, fix the time
when all men will be driven from the
factories by women.
Married women constitute almost one
eighth of all the women who work for
wages in this country. In one class of
occupations, agriculture, fisheries and
mining, % per cent of the women en-
ployed are married. These are mostly
farmers wives, among whom is found
the largest number of insane women.
The report, however, confirms previous
statistics showing that at the same work
a man earns double the wages of a wo-
man.
Employers. Commissioner Wright
states, say they prefer women to men,
because of their greater adaptibility to
work 1t is also said women are more
relia BILE, easier controlled, cheaper. more
temperate, easier procured, neater,
swifter, more industrious, more careful,
potter. less liable to strike and reader
to learn.
The proportion of females employed 10
this country is steadily increasing.
Tie Labor Bureau hasn't gone into
the cause leading women, especially
those married, to work.

labor organization mentioned in the re-
port as opposing the employment # wo
