A HELPFUL CORNER.
New Employment for Girls.


AS it is now quite common for many
girls to make their livelihood, and as
often times they cannot decide on
what employment will best suit them,
perhaps the following hints will be of
some benefit in helping them to choose
some professions:
Although this is true in a great meas
ure, vet, it is an indisputable fact that
many of these employments are al
ready over crowded, and that the less
popular vocations will receive the SUR
plus applicants.
Since this state of affairs exists any
new field will be hailed with delight by
the young women who are starting
out to gain a maintenance tor them
selves. Although stenography was
once an open field, now there are TWEEN
tv girls for each position; still a new
branch of work has been brought to
the front. This may be called that OF
riter-stenographer. In this the
girl so employed works by the piece,
visiting her customers each morning,
taking notes, and then going home to
do the work upon her own typewriter.
Later she returns the letters for sigma
ture. In addition to this she may do
copying. Business men who have not
sufficient work to employ typewriter,
or who have no office room for one,
find this means of getting their work
done very satisfactory. Women who
are busy with club work find her inval-
liable for answering letters, copying
rules and regulations, and filing away
business papers.
Chill has offered still another open
ing for the wage earning girl, and in
Valparaiso or Santiago she may find
this new occupation. Here women are
employed as tramway conductors, and
report says that they do very satisfac-
tory work. A special uniform distin-
guishes them; this consists of a neat
costume of dark blue over which they
wear a white apron tied with red rib
bons. The uniform is also trimmed
with red about the neck. A large
white straw hat trimmed with broad
red ribbons and peoples completes the
attire.

their clothes, would be glad TO secure
the services of a skilled member. Men
would also be glad to avail themselves
of such a person. The woman who will
sew on buttons and hooks and eyes,
and darn stockings and underclothing
is sure of constant work, many custo-
mers, and regular compensation.-La-

Partisan refinement has opened an
other avenue in which the feminine
sex can gain a livelihood. This new
profession is that of dinner faster. The
one so employed visits different houses
each day and tastes the dishes intended
for the dinner. She goes among the
poor and teaches them new ways of
preparing food, while in the Weather
households she suggests improvements
in cooking. The duties are by no
means arduous, and the compensation
is ample.
The Household for September gives
an interesting account of the expert
ence of New York girl in earning her
livelihood. The girls mother, believ-

kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

How to Make Homework Easier.

How to Make Homework Easier.
There are many bits of knowledge
that help to make homework easier
and more quickly performed, and the
housewife is usually anxious for such
information. When you have very
dirty carpet that you wish to clean,
tear old newspapers into small pieces,
and soak them in water. When they
are taken out, rub them between the
hands until they form little round balls,
and scatter them over the carpet. Then
give it thorough sweeping, and it
will look fresh and clean again.
If SCOT has been split on the carpet,
cover the spot with salt, let it remain
ten minutes, then sweep it off. One
application will usually remove every
trace of black.
An excellent soap for washing wood
work, straw mating, oil cloth or lin
oleum is made by dissolving bar of
soap, shaved fine, in a pint of boiling
water. Add a teaspoonful of borax and
set it aside to cool. Put enough of this
soap in half bucketfu1 of water to
make a good suds, and wash with soft
flannel cloth; rinse with clear water
and wipe dry. The borax makes the
cleansing easy, and does not injure the
oil cloth; it is also excellent for soft
ening hard water for laundry or toilet
purposes.
To rid a closet and the garments in
it of moths, put two ounces of gum
camphor in an iron vessel and set it
where nothing will ignite from it. Set
fire to the camphor, shut the closet
door and stop up the cracks so the
fumes will be kept inside. Leave it
closed two or three hours, then take
the garments from their hooks and
hang them out to air. This will destroy
all the moths in them.
If you have kid gloves that need
cleaning, pour little gasoline into a
