To meet these and other changes the
newspaper woman of the twentieth

will be expected of her. She will be a

settle the matter quickly.

SOME OCCUPATIONS OF WOMEN

The dinner faster is the latest ex-
ample of the ultra" type of Partisan
refinement. The Partisan palate. you
know, is the one thing worth living for.
according TO the idea of certain class
of people whose pleasure in life de-
pcnds upon the enjoyment of the senses.
This dinner faster makes it her
business to visit the fine houses and
taste the dishes intended for dinner. She
suggests improvements, and shows the
cook new ways of preparing dishes.
That the business Is a profitable one
may be judged by the fact that she in
variably rides in a cab.
In the East End OF London lucra-

The so-called extravaganza of that
Congress contributed TO the result of
crushing Republican defeat. as will
readily be recalled. But later Congress
es sailed close to the billion dollar mark
without arousing special comment and
now the war Congress has surpassed
the record. As nearly as the appropria-
tions of the Fifty-first Congress may be
estimated they call for the impressive
sum OF more than si.7OO, ,000,a figure that
the Imagination is quite unable to ana
lyze. OF course. the war with spain is
responsible for much of the enormous
increase above the billion dollar mark
and most OF the usual appropriations
do not appear to have been materially
increased. But 1t makes no difference
any way so long as the country has the
money TO spend above what IL actually
does spend. The philosophy of the es-
teemed wilkins Micawber is to the eff
feet that the result will be happiness
regardless OF the amount of the respec-
tive sums represented.

The Journal always sharp visioned
20 something better than it's own. ex-
presses itself on comparative political
system as follows; Next year, when
the Presidential campaign opens. we
shall have an excellent opportunity to
observe how in one respect at least
our electoral system is inferior To that
of the French. Their active Presiden-
tial canvass extends over a few hours
only. while ours dlsturbs business and
keeps us In more or less OF fever of
excitement for several months" But
the fact is of course. as the Journal
may discover by examining the Consti-
tuition OF its country for few minutes.
that when a President of the United
states dies i'm office, there is no need of
even n "few hours canvass To choose
his successor. The Vice President sim
ply takes his place without any fuss
at all.
