the guardian of public peace and

distressing strike in the city is
legitimate fruit.

party in power in Missouri and
upon which the people will pass
judgment in November.

Women As census Enumerators.

Women win be employed both as
enumentors and as clerks IN the com.
pilation OF the census of 1900. and tho
bureau expects that numbers OF them
viii apply for these positions. Women
were first employed In this labor In
1850. In 1890 women again found oc.
cupntion as clerks and as census TAX
ers. though then. as now. the fact that
women were eligible TO these positions
was not as widely known as It should
have been.
There are many reasons why this
employment FOR women Is most suit.
able In the first place. as the work
only lasts for few weeks or months
and then ceases absolutely. II has al.
ways been found difficult to find the
best men for n labor which offers no
permanency Of support. while there
many women so situated that they are
glad to have the opportunity TO earn
n good sum OF money In some occupa.
ton which will not take the whole OF
their time The service Is not severe
especially in cities and towns. where
the dwellings are crowded together
and n person can work all day collect
Ing the names Of the inhabitants Of T:
few blocks. Another point which de
serves consideration is that the cen
sus enumerators as a rule sees onl,
women in the homes which must b.
visited as the calls are made during
the hours when men are away on bus

The number Of persons who will be
employed IN securing the facts for tn,

tens OF thousands. IL is TO be hoped
that many women viii find remunera
tion for their labor in this most suita

Hints About Soup.

In making soups Of all kinds, the
slow. even. prolonged slmmering. not
boiling. must be observed as all-essen-
tial to the good result. The French
say that the soup pot should only
smile; that is, 1t should never show
any bubbles on the surface, but
should cook slowly, at an even heat
just below the boiling point. 1t is be.
cause our cooks and housewives can
not, or rather viii not. understand
this rule. that the soup Of the aver
age American household Is a mere
pretender to the name. 1t is not
enough as certain blunderers seem to
fancy. TO keep the constituents OF the
broth hot for several hours; it must
cook necessarily. never stopping for
moments time. Furthermore, all the
water needed for the soup should be
put into il at the beginning; a serious
loss OF flavor is risked II more water
has TO be added during the process
OF cooking.

Astonishing Facts.

In 1880 there were 100000 women
employed in this country. as shown
by the census. In 1880 the number had
grown to nearly 100000. In a few
decades at that rate Of increase the
number Of women employed as wage
carriers will equal the number Of men.
But the facts are worse than they
at first appear OF that number the
majority are between the ages Of four.

are most largely engaged in the me.
