And matrOn fine wooden leg.

nual meeting of the Society of Pro-
noting the Employment of Women,
at No. p Berners street, recently, be-
cause, perhaps, of the emphasis given
1t by the chairman, Sir Owen Roberts
was that there were 100000 more
women in this country than men. OBJ
viously, therefore, the difficulty of OBJ
tanning work for such of them as had
of necessity to earn their own living
was greater even than when males had
creased by the comparative difficulty
hitherto experienced in providing the
necessary technical training for them.
On this point, however, Sir Owen
Roberts pointed hopefully to the effort
now made by the county council in es-
tablishing schools of domestic econ
omy. The chairman also pleaded for
special consideration for gentlewomen
who had reached middle life without
having acquired skill in work of
definite kind, these being the saddest
cases that come under the notice of
the society. Lady Knightley. of Fawn-

An Actor Elevated.

Patrons of the Alexandra theater on
Saturday night last witnessed a curl
Gus and exciting incident that befell
the veteran Irish comedian, Grattan
Riggs. The actor was stepping
through doorway in a drop scene,
when the scene shutters suddenly haul
ed the set" into the air, carrying the
massive comedian with it. The audi
ence beheld Grattan Riggs soaring into
the theatrical empyrean astride the Stat
across the bottom of the entrance.
Grattan Riggs is neither as young nor
as spry as he once was, but he is
much heavier, and the possibility of a
fall of twenty feet or so invested him
with the tenacity of the powerful
British bulldog, and no particular dam
age was done after all.-Melbourne

Burglars Never Use Chloroform.

That burglars of the more advanced
type can and do use chloroform in the
commission of their crimes is a belief
widely held and rarely contradicted,
and yet there is, curiously, little foun-
dation for it. Indeed, those who are
most familiar with the administration
and effects of anaesthetics assert that
there is no foundation at all for it ex-
cept in the imagination of sensational
writers and in the needs of people
whose losses can not safely be ex-
planned by statements of fact. The
question has been raised at Pittsburg
recently by several robberies in which
chloroform is said to have been en-
ployed, and opinions of the local ex-
perts are strongly against the posi-
bility of such use. The idea that the
mere Introduction of chloroform into a
room would cause Inconsistencies
was derided as absurd. Even if doors
and windows were alright, it would
take several gallons of either anaes-
thetic so to fill room with the heavy
fumes as to affect sleeper on bed of
average height. And the first effect
would be, not deep sleep, but excited
wakefulness. The chances are, then,
that when anybody claims to have
been chloroformed by burglars there
is something queer about the case
New York Times.
