Look where you will in any corner of

ferine such agonies from the weaknesses

of Buffalo, n. Y, whether in times of
war or peace, are entitled TO just as much
sympathy as we bestOw upon our military
and naval heroes; just as much care and
attention and solicitude; just as high an
annreciation of their heroic forttude and

From his earliest practice as a young
physician thirty years ago, DR., Pierce has
always felt that the grandest and worth
lest work in the world for a physician is to
raise I'D the suffering women who labor
under a constant burden of sickness and
discourag and set them upon a high

and healthful vigor
Among all the achievements of an extra

INTENSE MOMENTS IN WARFARE
HOW WOMEN BEAR THE BRUNT
OF WAR.

During the few months we have been
at war with Spain there have been many
critical moments in which men felt that
they We're living whole yearsl The land
ing of the invading army upon the
shores of the enemy's country is perhaps
the most critical time for the success or
defeat of our arms The enemy can pour
in a deadly fire upon our men as they
wade ashore, while they may be in com
parative safety behind breastworks, I'M
less they are within the accurate range
of our war vessels. In every engagement
our men have shown the most heroic
bravery and steady, strong nerves coupled
with determination When Farragut and

WAR HELPED WOMEN.
Loss of Million Men in the Civil
Conflict Opened the Way for WO-
men in Business.


From the New Orleans Picayune.
One of the most interesting as well as
important factors in the labor problem to-
day is the employment of women in va
rlous departments of labor once reserved
for men, and the competition of women
with men in the struggle for life
There were some 100000 persons of
both sexes engaged in gainful pursuits of
all sorts in 1890. OF these about 4,OO0 coo
were females and 100000 males. There
were, according to the same census about
10, 100000 families in the United States. In
1850 there were about 100000 workers
of both sexes and of these one twentieth,
or 100000 We're females. These were en-
gagged chiefly in the clothing factories,
cotton mills, and in shoe binding, and
they were found almost wholly in the
New England states, whose men had gone
away to sea or to the new lands of the
West and left their women dependent. In
the West and in the South a woman sell
dom went away from the home TO work,
or, If so, they were occupied with house
hold duties in families After the civil
war the situation was vastly changed. A
million men lost their lives or were so
disabled as to be incapacitated to support
themselves. The South suffered more
than any other section, and many wo-
men were left self-dependent 1t was
new thing to see white women in the
Southern states start out TO seek work
in avenues that had been previously clos
ed to women. They could not take do
nestle service. because such places were
monopohzed by the negroes who had been
brought up to that sort of work. The
posts of teaching the XQung did not af-
ford places for all who were forced to
work and thus the white women of the
South emulated their sisters of the North
and West in seeking the means of earning
a livelihood in every honorable work
within their capacity, and, however
much the necessity for such a state of
things is regretted, it must be recognized
all the same.
1t is not only unmanly, but it is out
rageously unjust for men to complain that
women are driving them out. of employ
meut There are 3,O010 coo heads of fam
lilies in the United States. Some of these
are widows, but the greater number are
men. There are men enough in the coun-
try to support all the women IL they
would. The fact is that they do not 1t
is their own fault. If every man who
pretends 10 be a man We're supporting a
woman as he should there would be
probably 100000 places in offices, stores,
shops, and factories that are now occu-
pied by women workers left free to men,
and the women would be at home.
The worst feature in the entire situa-
ton is that the women are put off with
about one-half the wages given to men
for the same service. This is an outrage
in many cases. When the women acquire
the power in business which they have
always been able to WELD In love. they
will correct the evil Of lower wages, too.

BRAVE CORRESPONDENTS.
Aamirni sampson's Tribute to the
yalor OF American Newspapers
Men Under Fire.

One particular class of hero of the
late war-the newspaper correspond
enf--iias been almost overlooked in
the blaze Of glngy that greeted the
homecoming of'our victorious troops,
but Admiral Sampson has written the
following tribute OF praise to the gem
taemen of the press. The valor OF
the American newspaper man, as ex-
hibited in the late war, has rightly ex-
cited universal comment. The old-time
war correspondent, who remained
with the commander in chief, miles be-
hind the firing line, has been conspicu-
Gus BIZ his absence in the most recent
war. The chronicler OF battle pre-
ferred to march where the fiercest of
sighting was In progress, risking his
life for the sake of duty. as nobly and
readily as the soldiers. The world has
wondered almost as much at this hero
ssm of modern newspaper man as it
has at the reckless bravery Of the sol
sliers and sailors who carried Old
Glory so impetuously to victory. Adj
sniral Sampson writes:
at gives me great pleasure to re-
ply TO your question regarding the
behavior of newspaper men under fire.
II take 1t for granted that .newspa-
per men are not more fond than other
nortals of being under fire; but have
yet 10 see one who did not behave in
the best manner possible. They seem
prompted by a sense of duty to OBJ
tain all the news without regard to
any personal exposure.
Il know Of many eases where they
have sought to gather news first hand
sinder circumstances which could be
explained in no other way. Yours very
truly.-W T. Sampson"

HARNESS REINs.
They Are Always Made from the
stontcst of Lenther-A word
About Han olds.

The reins of a set Of single harness
are each about 13feetin length; those
of double harness about Is feet. For
business, harness reins are made of
leather, tanned black; the reins of
carriage harness are made OF russell
colored leather.
Reins require tor be very stout, and
they are almost always made of steer
hide, the leather of which traces are
made. these, however, being or more
shan one thickness. Occasionally
lines for light or for cheap harness
ere made of cowhide, but n3t often;
ms rule the best of leather is used
for the reins, even in cheap harness.
There can be obtained from the hides
of leather suitable for reins strips
from seven TO nine feet in length, so
that reins are always OF necessity
made in two pieces.
The loops, or handholds, often seen
on the reins of track or road horses
are commonly made Of lighter leather
stitched together and then sometimes
stitched 10 the reins, but more often
secured TO them ins such a manner
that they can be shifted on the reins
10 suit the convenieHde of the driver.
The shree-loop hold, which is called
the Boston handhold, is commonly
used for track driving; the single loop
is the one used by most drivers on the
road. There are patent handholds
shade of metal. The wooden buttons
sometimes seen on reins, used a 5 hand
holds are made in pairs, one button
of each pair having a stem with a
thread cut on it which goes through
the rein and is screwed into the other
button of the pair on the opposite side.
