''Why do men talk so glibly OF the
vanity Of women" asked Michigan
avenue dame the other day. do they
fancy that they are superior to such
weaknesses as distinguish their frail
sisters-fondness for dress, for jewels,
for displays generally? If that is their
idea they have but poor knowledge
of their own sex-of themselves, In
fact, for no man Is without his vanities
and they are just as conspicuous as are
those Of women. A man never seems
to have grown too old or too ugly to
arrogate to himself admiration that a
woman In her palmiest days would
hardly dare claim. That crease in his
trousers weighs SO heavily upon his
mind. He is never, l can see, perfect
ly assured of its perfection, unless the
trousers are just home from the tailor.
Imagine woman getting into a
street car and hardly settling herself
before she begins pulling at seam in

Organized labor Of Kansas City has
refused to indorse the movement
against department stores.
One of the officers gives the follow
ing reasons for this action:
THE great majority Of the smaller
merchants when they have any work TO
do about their establishments by me-
chanic or artisan, will not hire union
workmen, but in nearly every instance
they will employ cheap labor. That is
why we don't want to help them out
in their fight on the department stores.
The big stores pay mechanics who
work for them good wages, while many
of the retail dealers will not close their
places of business on union hours nor
employ union statesmen. Some of them
even keep open on Sunday and work
their clerks at less wages and moro
hours than the department stores"

80. Opportunity for social. intellect
ual and spiritual culture. Man was not
made for leisure, but leisure was made
for man. That is Christ's interpreta-
ton of the purpose Of the Mosaic lin
itation of the hours Of work"
The speaker advised friends OF the
movement to expect and work for In
definite continuance of reduction OF
hours in the future, step by step,
through combination, agitation and
legislation. He said that In A. ID. 1901
the hours of daily labor had been M
teen hours in 1875 ten hours, and pre-
dicted that in 1900 they would be eight
hours and in 1000 five hours. These
opportunities for the highest culture
as they come to us, he said, should DO

Surely it must be that vanity prompts
him to show them, or Indifference,

latest shoe fad-'bulldog' or whatever
it may be-regardless of price or COM

struction have been absolutely dictated
and supervised by the women most in
terested,. there seems no reason why
the woman decorator has not come to
stay. She is dotted in pairs OF girl
bachelors among the larger cities Of
the country, and. though the firm is apt
to dissolve after a more or less brief
existence, 1t is not due to lack OF busi-
ness, but rather to the quick opportu-
nifty which seems to offer for the for

"In Bible times fourteen hours con-
stituted a days toll, and rather less
than ten hours remained for sleeping,
eating and other personal uses" said
Rev. Lemuel G. Barnes of Pittsburg, in
a recent sermon. "By slow stages this
operation has been reversed at the
present day. The American Fedora
ton of Labor is moving for still fur
Their general reduction in the hours of
labor. 1t seeks to cut off two hours a
day, or twelve hours week, to take
place from the LIST Of May, 1898. The
old Egyptian objections are still urged.
But they have been plowed under by
millenniums of history and there are
sound reasons to-day for further re-
duction in the hours Of toll. We could
name many reasons like the following:
81. Mechanical forces have been
made to do much of the work OF the
world. Steam and machinery take the
place uf muscles and hands. There
have been greater changes in the last
century than in all the thirty centuries
from Moses to James Watt. Every
man now has an equivalent of twelve
other men in mechanical forces. Six
teen hours a day for labor was not
uncommon at the beginning of the
present century. They have been re-
duced gradually, but every step has
been taken in the face Of strenuous op-
nosition On June 16 1845 a mass
meeting was held in Pittsburg to adj
vccate a ten-hour working day and it
was attended by 5000 people,
"2. Work for the unemployed. A
shortening Of two hours day would
make room for 100000 more work
ers in the Industrial world.
"3. Higher wages. Strange, but true,
in the last century hours have been
reduced by one-third and at the same
time wages have been doubled.

From the Detroit Free Press: my
idea of the way to relieve the unem-
ployed labor in Detroit and other cities
of this state" said w. D. Mahon, pres
ident of the national body OF street
car employees, Friday, sis that the state
legislature should not adjourn until II
has made provision for the removal of
the surplus population of the cities TO
the country. The state has the vacant
land; the cities have the excess OF
population. II the legislature has the
craftsmanship to bring the two to-
gether the question is solved, for the
present at least. The cities cannot in
justice to taxpayers go on bonding and
taxing to furnish work which Is not
actually needed The country needs
these workers, and if it could get them
on terms by which they would be made
self-supporting the country would be
enriched to that extent. In the city
they are sinking deeper and deeper in
to poverty and hopelessness-and none
so hopeless as those who formerly re-
sided in the country; in the country,
il set upon their feet and given start,
their course in society would be up
ward instead of downward. In addi-
ton to all the furced employment fur
nished there was paid out in cold char
ity for the support Of the poor of this
city last winter SSH 900. That money
is gone, and the community not only
gets no return, but leaves itself in a
position where the same amount or
more must be paid again next winter,
and every winter for that matter. Let
us suppose that the legislature appro-
pirates 100000, and places the money
in the hands of a commission to re-
move dependent families to suitable
land and look after their necessities
for one year. What would be the re-
suit? The city would be greatly re-
lieved, the country greatly benefited
by the wealth these toilers would Gre
ate, and the people themselves would
be turned from condition ending in a
prison or almshouse to higher man
hood and greater usefulness in society.
The money expended would not be
lost-it would not have to be paid
again the second year-and If rs per
cent of the settlers thus aided proved
worthy, as there is little doubt they
would the operation would prove one
of the best investments the state could
possibly engage in, viewed strictly
from business standpoint"
