Why They Do Not Marry.

(frOm the cleveland Plafn Dealer
Somebody wants to know why educated women
do not marry. This seems little abrupt and
decidedly sweeping, but evidently what the ques-
toner really wants to know is why many edr-
another woman, of course, speaks up and SAYS
that it is because the world of the educated
woman is so much larger. She sees so much,
and is independent and so rich in privileges,
that married life is no longer mere temptation
Besides, she grows critical. There are a great
many men in her world, and she plays them off
against each other, and her ideal seems further
and further away. All Of which is very logical,
and very possible, too, but it does seem as if
the men ought to have just little contributory
credit for this condition OF blessed singlencss

protection of female employees in manu-

Dor and requiring proprietors to provide

The Gulf Fisheries.

\ pamphlet recently published by the
United States Fish Commission gives
some valuable statistics of this indus
try on the Gulf coasts, from which it
appears that about Seventyfive varie-
ties of sea food result from the fish
cries along the coast of the Gulf in
Florida, Alabama, Missippi, Louisi-
anna and Texas.
The value of the annual product is
as follows: Oysters, $748,7 100; red
snappers, $2OO412; mullet, $143,530,
shrimp, $117,453; trout, 112,454; red
fish, sol ,776; cat fish, sos, 147; Sleeps
head, $51 ,074; miscellaneous, $746, 720;
total, $2,271 ,726. Florida leads, with a
value of $944, 1913, or more than 41h
per cent. Of the aggregate, Louisiana
comes next with $713, 5S7, or nearly
311a per cent Louisiana leads in the
value of the oyster product, furnishing
nearly So per cent. of the whole, as
we'll as more than 681a per cent, of the
total shrimp product.
There are engaged in the Gulf fish
cries II $50 fishermen and 2,787 shore
men, a total of 1867 persons; COPS
boats and 425 larger vessels, valued at
$1,153,117 and $2,5S4,O61 capital in
vested.
In view of these facts the Pensacola
Daily News concludes that ''the OPP
portunities for the profitable invest
ment of capital in this growing and i'm
portant industry are almost beyond
calculation, and the time is near at
hand when it will Overshadow most Of
the other industries of the Gulf
coasts"
