Il WOMEN CROWDlNG MEN.

AZ q Rule, They Get Lower Pay-SOme
HI Facts Found by Uncle Sam.
Uncle Sam has been Investigating the
comparative work and wages of men,
women and children in this country
Except to the statistician, the results
are of slight interest. Little of news
and moment can be drawn from the
tables. In showing the conjugal condi-
ton of the female employees of the es-
adjustments included in the investiga-
ton, the figures regarding New Hamp-
shire are curious. Nearly one-fourth
of the working women of that state
are married. This is an unusually
large proportion. New York married
women who work form only one-six-
teenth of the whole. No other state.
New England or otherwise, makes such
a showing. Why so many New Hamp-
shire husbands should require the aid
ofstheir wives in supporting the family
is,not explained. Take the whole coun-
try, and over 13 per cent. of the women
employees are married..
Nearly $50 establishments were COW
cred by the government Investigations.
In ten years the male employees over
IS years of age have increased 63 per
cent, and females 66 per cent, while
of those under IS years, the males have
increased so per cent. and the females
SO per cent.
/ The figures show what everyone
knows, that women, to some extent,
are entering into places at the expense
of the men. The gain is shown in all
classes Of occupations except domestic
and personal service, where the proper
ton Of women. dropped from AZ per
cent. in. 1870 to 80 per cent. in 1890, and
the percentage of men so employed rose
in the same period from 81 to 81.
Whereas, 13 per cent. of the coun-
try's children under Is years old were
working in 1870 and 16 per cent. in
1880, only eight per cent. had to neg
lect school on this account in 1890.
AS to earnings, there is a well-de-
veloped tendency to pay men well, SIM
ply because they are men, even though
women and children do the same work
and are exactly as efficient. This is the
fact in .76 per cent. of the cases of diff
ference in pay. On the other hand,
women get more pay than men doing
the same work in 16 per cent. of the
cases. But the difference in pay is wide.
Men are overpaid so per cent, while
women are overpaid only ten per cent.
Women have a greater adaptability
than men for the work in which they
are employed, they are more reliable,
more easily controlled, cheaper, more
temperate, more industrious, more
careful, more polite, less liable to strike
and more rapid to learn. But ma
chinery is gradually displacing them
i'll many industries, as more automatic
work is done by machinery than for
merly; often women who are better
adapted and cheaper are unreliable;
their physical strength is inadequate
for heavy work, and some industries
largely employing women are being
forced out of business by the changes in
fashion, notably the fancy plush box
trade, which is being superseded by
celluloid boxes.-N.. Y. Press.

Blindness.

It: is estimated that there are 1,00O,-
ooOE blind people in the world, or one
to every 1900 inhabitants. Latest re-
ports show $4,000 blind persons in Eng
land, or $40 for each 100000 inhabi-
tants. Blind infants of less than S
years, 166 for each 100000; between
and Is, 288; between 20 and rs, 422;
between As and 60, 1925, and above 65
years, 1000 for each 100000. Russia
and Egypt are countries where the
blind constitute the largest proper
tomato number of total populations; in
Russia, on account Of the lack of expert
enced medical attention, and in Egypt,
because of opthalmia, due to irritation
caused by movements of the sand by
the wind. N. Y. Tribune. S

4 STRONG WALL or WORDS.

A wall Of selfish words and deeds once grew
Within quiet home between the two
Who had not long before pledged faith and
trust,
Der which grew cold suspicious icy crust;
For one was true and one was faithless
quite, .e E4sE
SO from that home there faded out the
light, &%#
Dark. changed and chill. their day gave
place to night. t.e #-.3
A promise broken led to doubt and dread.
With cold words spoken and love-words
unsaid;
Ways lightly wayward. acts. deceits un-
wise, @"E E%~
And hearts blindfolded with veil of lies:
stirred. 80
determinations. kind words seldom heard
Glad skies Of hope by somber shadows
No longer were blithe hours made glad with
Or ministries that loving lives prolong; .
But anger kindled into sullen fres.>
Till faith gave way to ranking doubts and
Tres;
The household affairs were with birthstone
fed,
Scared hearts embittered, by warped evil
led,
Homes tranquil hours of peace forever
dead.
Then grew that wall Of words as strong as
fate,
Cemented with resentment and black hate:
While higher crept the barrier raised upon
That spot where two hearts once had beat
as one;
No longer linked in hourly touch and chime,
Harsh winter reigned where once smiled
blossom time,
And living in one home became a crime.
Was 1t a wonder then that one chill day,
The heart most deeply wounded went away,
To wander lonely over land and sea,
In grief for days that never more could be :?
Or that the wounds which falsity thus gave
With treachery poisoned him and dug his
grave?

The Women OF Greece.

The women of Greece have shown the
world once more that bravery and pa
triotism are by no means the exclusive
virtues Of the masculine portion Of the
race. In their enthusiasm for the
cause of their country against the Turk,
they have even gone so far as to arm
themselves and attempt actual service
in the field. One regiment marched
forth with woman standard bearer,
whom soldiers and people hailed as a
second Joan of Arc. The pathetic spec
tacle is all the more touching from the
the fact that the contest is q hopeless

Christia powers at his back, and the

both laughed as they saw the helpless
way in which the corncob doll glared
up into the sunlight. Georgia set him
up against tree in the severely upright
position which his construction de-
lmanded, and then stood by the stran-

brushes, the shining tubes from which
he squeezed dabs of color on to his
palette, the jointed easel which he put
together and set up so quickly, and the
camp-stool on which he seated himself,
were all fascinating accessories to the
making of dolls, either flat or round,
and she forgot to be afraid. The artist
glanced at the corn-shuck clothing Of
the foreigner, and matched it with a

back and forth with a brush. while he
