The old days when men must work while women must weep" are of the past. and under the new dispensation women are regularly enrolled among the workers of the world, and tbe sort of occupation in which they shall en- gage is limited only by the work to be done in the world. Women like men earn their bread by the sweat of their brows and are beholden to no one for cake and preserves, and the women are glad of it, and no doubt the men are too. Mrs. E. c. Atwood. at the national con- vention of miners held in Milwaukee re- gently. made some interesting state ments concerning women in the field of mining, which seems unique occupa- tion for them 10 engage in. She de- scribeS the work as fascinating and lucrative, but admonishes women who engage in mining 10 go into il with a good stock of determination, which must be the dynamite and gunpowder 10 carry them to success ill the under taking. If pursued in painstaking and intelligent way she says il is a busi. ness that can be made to pay we'll, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 Miss Caroline Van Brunt, who is the secretary of the 0rford Coppsr com pany, is also one of the directors and one of the incorporators of the com pany. She is perfectly familiar with all that is necessary 10 be known upon the subject, in fact knows more about copper, nickel, the general mining of ores, the source of supply, production, consumption tariff, state of trade than any other woman, and more than three quarters of the men, who calm to be experts upon the subject of mining and the interests relates to it. She has studied the subject of making copper fumes less injurious and it was prin- cipally through her representation that congress was induced to give those es- tablishments requiring it further chance to experiment with smoke con sumers and odor extractors.

 In speaking of mining, however, Mrs Atwood asserted that she had no ref erence to speculation in mining stocks of which Mr. Charles B Rouse, the null ti-millionaire merchant of New York said "Thers is one thing would most emphatically impress upon women keep away from Wall street, Don't speculate; don't buy stocks. That is not legitimate business, and is sure, sooner CT later, 10 lead to ruin Aside from this there is no line of business in which women may not succeed if they will give 10 their work the necessary thought and attention"
 The woman who has faith in herself can move mountains and maybe find enough nuggets to make her happy for the rest of her life. At any rate, she has as good chance as man. and the workis not nearly so hard nor laborious as many of time-honored employments of women, and is likely to prove much more lucrative,
