A girl in a New England factory
wrote her name several months ago
on a bolt of cotton. Recently she re-
ceived letter from woman in Arizo-
ma saying that the cloth had been
bought by the government, and was be-
ing cut up for garments in an Apache
Indian school. 1t is but a few years
ago that the Apaches thought more of
taking scalps than of schools in which
shirt making is done. While the mill
girls act ELECTED this striking COM
parison, it was an act to be unhesitat-
ingly condemned. A girls name SO
represents herself that to have it light
ly banded about in writing, or in pub
lie conveyance or in the mouths of
strangers, reflects meretriciously upon
her character. Had the bolt of cotton
fallen into INSCRIPTIONS hands, the
letter sent from Arizona might have
been anything but pleasing to the
thoughtless recipient.

The general introduction of women
into employment before held by men
has had the most far-reaching social
effects. 1t is not necessary, and would
not be appropriate here to enter into
a consideration of the question whether
the result of such general employment
Of women has been beneficial Or the
reverse in its effects on society. What
ever conclusions may be reached on
that very comprehensive subject it is
quite plain that the employment of
women in the business pursuits is des-
tined to be less. rather than more, gen.
eral in the future than it has been in
the immediate past.

For years and years almost innumer-
able writer's, some of them learned in
maritime matters, and others only in
terested in, such things, have been
preaching the necessity for intelligent
and united action, either by govern
ments or shipowners, to the end that
abandoned vessels may not be allowed
to remain afloat in the ocean highways,
i,.cr ssing materially the perils of nav
igation and giving needless proof that
what is everybodys business is no.
body's. Lamentably little has been ac-
complished by all this exhortation and
its continuance seems discouragingly
like waste of energy. The issue is
a thoroughly live one, however, and
perhaps by constantly harping on it
the vast number of people whose lives
are often and whose property is con-
stantly menaced by these derelicts may
at last be moved to enforce the reme-
dying of the present neglect of great
evil.

Tauric acid, a new chemical discov-
cry, obtained from tauric moss-a lich-
en- or fungus, usually found upon rocks
and the roots of trees throughout the
country-has been found to possess
properties which will render it inval-
liable as a solvent of metals. Gold,
silver, steel. aluminium and lead, when
immersed in the acid, become pliable
and ductile as putty. The advantages
1t presents for workers in metal
more especially jewelers-are readily
apparent. Designs can be nodded by
the hands alone, without the use or as
sistance of heat. Strange to say, how
ever, the acid has no effect upon iron.
