HUMOROUS STATESMEN.
4 Few of the Notable Great Men OF
Congress.

Private John Allen, who represents
humor in the democratic party in the
house of representatives of congress,
has put himself early into evidence in
the debates of that body. Champ Clark,
of Missouri, who was out of the last
congress, but is again elected to Ibis
one, has not yet made an appearance
as speaker. The democrats apparent
ly get all their funny men from the
south. Perhaps they have too hard
work to be elected from the north to
find time for joking. The republicans
do not elect so many funmakers. Sen
ator Mason, of Illinois, used to appear
in this role when in the house, but he
finds no field for it in the senate. Speak
er Reed raised more laughs than any
other member when he was on the floor,
but his even was always that of sar-
casm, and the merriment was over the
squirming of his victims. The nearest
approach that Massachusetts, has made
to sharp-tongued member for many
years was furnished by the late Gov.
Greenhalge, when he served one term
in congress His wit was of the classic
order. Quigg, of New York, has made
felIow-members laugh sometimes, but
III mas Deen more OIIeH lduSuIHS Ut Min
than laughing with him. The humor-
Gus treatment of public questions is less
prevalent in congress than it used to
be. 1t is studied, rather than spon-
taneous, humor at the north, as a rule,
though Mr.. Reed furnished supreme
exception to it in his day. The peculiar
s.umping system of the south encour-
| ages greater freedom of speech, which
perhaps accounts for its humorists more
than any natural prevalence of mind
there in that direction. The late Sam
uel S. Cox is said to have regretted that
he INDUCED so much in humor in con-
gress. on the ground that it led to the
belief that he had not the capacity that
was really his for more serious achieve.

Why Immigrants Lande d I'm New ORR.
The merchants of New York sent to
the continent of Europe more ships
than the merchants of other cities, who
traded mainly with Great Britain, so
that this city was better known
throughout Europe. and her vessels
were the handiest for emigrants from
France, Germany and Holland. Agents
of the New York merchants and of the
government who were seeking and en-
couraging immigration, could show
that this port was the most advan-
tageous landing-place for a man who
was going on west; and the sea captains
explained that it was the safest and
quickest port to make, because the
course lay south of the stormy. foggy
region north of Cape Cod, and the city
was much closer to the open sea than
either Philadelphia or Baltimore. AT
any rate, immigration increased in
favor of New York as time went on;
and the stream of incoming people
swelled until in the decade from 1854
to 1894 it amounted to about half a mill
lion of immigrants year, 59O.666 ar
irving in 1890 alone, not counting those
from Canada and Mexico.-Ernest In

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

Theorists Sometimes RudeIy Shocked

Apropos of the question of cruelty tc
animals, correspondent sends this
story: Two men were walking along a
shady path in the woods of northern
New Hampshire recently. One of the
men owned beautiful dog, and the an
imal was bounding along in advance of
hem. shifting here and there and look
ting frequently up into the branches of
the tall oaks which lined the way. The
men were conversing. Mr.. Hotchkiss
was talking about his love for all ami
mated nature His companion agreed
with him in that it was a downright
shame to kill or abuse helpless animals
of any description. The barking of the
dog interrupted them. Mr.. Hotchkiss
spoke in vexed and angry tone, and,
striding forward, he seized piece of
dead wood lying near. See that dog
worrying that poor SQUIRREL" said he.
fsIt makes me so mad 1 could kill the
dog"
This somehow reminds the Listener
of a speculation into which he was once
plunged by the conduct of a favorite
cat. The cat, which was superb black
cne, wore about his neck collar, to
which the children had attached a little
tinkling bell. One day in the garden the
Listener saw the cat creeping up on
bird in a bush. To prevent the tinkling
of the bell from warning the bird the
cat was creeping with such a slow and
steady movement that the bell was not
shaken a bit and was perfectly silent.
1t was an admirab bic performance. The
bird must have seen the cat, but acted

might be inhumane to the cat, after all
the pains and skill involved in keeping
that bell still, to interfere with his per-

whole physical and moral system to
scare away the bird at that moment.
One should beware of interfering with
the established economy of nature.

was derived from the organic law of

WOMEN NOT IN MEMS PLACES
More often Hold ChiIdren's Former
CccupatiOns.

More often Hold ChiIdren's Former
Occupations.
From tables based on the United
States censuses of 1870, 1850 and $780,
says Carroll D. Wright, lit is found that
the proportion of women labOrers, all
the occupations of the country being
considered, is gradually increasing. not
to an alarming extent, but yet steadily,
the gain being little less than three
per cent. The census of 1870 recorded
but one architect among the women
of this country, while % were found in
1890. There were no women among
the chemists, assayers and metallur-
gists in 1870, while the enumerations
in 1890 found 46 engaged in these oc
equations. There were 81 clergywom-
en- in 1870 and 1885 in 1890. Dentistry
has also attracted women, and while
there were but "a in this occupation in
1870, there were 337 in 1890.
'"The fact is absolutely demonstrated
that the proportion of women in all
occupations followed is gradually in
creasing, study of all the facts show
ing that they are more generally TAX
ing places of children than of men.
IL 1870 the percentage of children of
the whole number of persons employed
in manufacturing was 5.5S, while in 1890
the percentage was only 2.6S. There
need not be any alarm, therefore. as
to the encroachment of women upon
the occupations held by men, for, on
the whole, the encroachment is slight.
Many reasons are given by employers
for their employment of women in place
of men, the most common being their
greater adaptability for the particu-
lar work for which they are employed.
Some also consider them more reliable,
more easily controlled, cheaper, more
temperate, more easily procured, neat
ct, more rapid, more industrious, more
careful, more polite, less liable to strike,
and more easy to learn. Of course.
many employers give combination of
two or. more of these reasons.
The facts relative to woman's COM
pcnsation shows that there is prog
ress in her favor, although the statis-
les bring out a great economic injustice
in this respect. In one investigation
1t was shown that in 7S1 instances in
which men and women worked at the
same occupation, and performed their
work with the same degree of efficiency
men received greater pay in SOS cases
and women greater pay in only 129,
while in only 81 instances out of the
whole number did they receive the
same pay, for the same work, which is
only 7-3 per cent of the cases noted.
