WOMEN IN INDUSTRY.
Their Opportunity in the Postage Stamp
Business.

Business.
Women appear as particularly
adapted to the Identification and
classification of postage stamps, nec-
essary in the stamp dealers business,
and are to be found in the employ of
leading dealers. They also some
times do business as philatelists on
their own account. Girls are largely
preferred as clerks by dealers of ex-
perience, as they are said to be more
trustworthy than boys, who will
sometimes steal stamps when nothing
else would tempt them. Possibly
the collecting mania or instinct is
stronger with boys than with girls.
For most boys collect stamps as they
have the mumps OF the measles, but
the girl collector is more rare, al
though not by any means entirely un-
known.
The girl who enters upon employ
ment with stamp dealer without any
knowledge OF stamps is first instructed
by her employer in the Identification
of the more common varieties, but
when stamps are purchased by him in
bulk, as is often the case, the first
thing to be done is to sort them and
to gather together all of those belong
ing 10 the Argentine Republic, Aus
tria, the Azores, and the other A
countries. Those of B countries are
placed by themselves, and so on
through the rest of the alphabet, nm
til this classification IS finished. With
experience the girls knowledge, OF
course, increases, and from the iden-
tification of such stamps as those Of
Baden, Canada, Cape of Good Hope,
and others, upon which the name of
the country of issuance appears in
English, she passes at last TO famili-
arity with and comprehension of such
stamps ms those of Afghanistan, AL
wur, Bulgaria, Cashmere, Corea,
Russia, Turkey and others printed in
strange characters. When once the
certain knowledge of the stamps
point of origin has become fixed in
the girls mind, there then arises the
perplexing questions of roulettes and
their variations, perforates or imper-
forates, water marks, grills, inverts.
surcharges, errors, essays, trial or
experimental stamps, measurements
in millimetres, the perforation gauge
and a host of other items that are
dear to the hearts of collectors.
The stamp business is well adapted
for women. There is always q chance
of finding overlooked rare stamps in
purchased collections, or among old
and castaway letters, frequently
offered to dealers. Several stamps
among the United States issues are
individually worth a thousand dol
lars, while a certain one of the British
Guiana stamps of the face value of
one cent has catalogue price Of ST.
500.

Fer the Little Coat Of Tweed.

The iaunty little tweed and frieze
coats worn by the athletic woman,
who walks and drives a great deal
in the country at this season, are con-
sidered smartest when they have re-
vers faced with pique woven in family
eolored lines. A coat Of blue tweed
has a simulated bolero carried out in
stitchings and held with old silver
buttons. A short coat Of scarlet
beg pardon--huntin' pink-has the
revers faced with striped pique, the
ground Of which is creamy white, the
stripes pale pink, blue and amber.

Sleeves are larger at the top, and
are trimmed with tucks or lace inser-
tions.
Organdies on which the design is
painted on the under side are the
prettiest examples of pastel colorings.
Black net, we'll covered with appli-
cations of black taffeta, makes very
pretty short cape, finished with frilis
Of lace and chiffon. This sort Of gar
ment is made in cream tiGts as well,
and also in gray and beige.
Fancy lace neckwear is receiving
some new development every day. A
long lace scarf to carry several times
around the neck aud tie in large
bow in front is one Of the popular
styles.
Long wraps of lace are the proper
summer covering for dress occasions.
These are made long in the back and
sloping up to the waist, or little be.
low in front, and there coming to-
gether all the way to the throat.
Embroidery in chiffon and other
thin materials is great feature of the
new trimmings. Open embroidery,
lace beads, gold and silver thread aud
silk are all employed and variously
combined in these pretty novelties.
An entirely new idea is the use of
voluminous scarfs of tulle, carried
twice around the neck and tied in
large bow at the back. This undoubt.
edly may be accepted as a precursor
of the ribbon tied at the back, 50
popular few years ago.
The silky effect added to the great
variety of mulls, batistes, canvas fab
rics, zephyrs, organdies, and other
summer fabrics renders them more
than ever desirable aud attractive.
Many of the cotton materials thus
treated, either in plain or fancy pat
terms, have all the lustrous and dainty
effect of an India silk or satin foulard.
Some effective new waists that are
just in are of a heavy coarse linen,
though in delicate shades, and arc
trimmed with heavy embroidered linen
in colors. IL is evidently Russian
peasant work, it is very similar at any
rate, is stylish, and will be durable.
The embroidery is in the form OF in
sertions that are put in lengthwise in
the bodice, around the sleeves. and to
outline yokes

A town in Wisconsin has recently
passed an ordinance regulating the
speed of street cars within city limits
at not TO exceed eight miles an hour
on single track and ten miles an
hour on double track. twas claimed
by the local police that the street
railway company had been violating
the ordinance and G test was ar
ranged. Two city officials quietly
took their seats as passengers on \
car, and third official, mounting a
bicycle provided with a cyc!ometer,
pedaied alongside, the two officials
inside the car acting as timekeepers
for him. The general speed of the
car between stops was never less
than twelve miles an hour. At 5ev,
eral places it reached twenty miles
an hour, aud in one instance it went
as high as twenty-six miles an hour.
Warrants were issued against all mo-
tormen running cars above speed, and
the city trolley is now vying with the
old horse service in speed and the
disgusted citizens are talking Of re-
scinding their foolish limitations and
thus pre- cent their town from drifting
into a back number.

Women as Surgeons.

That for women women surgeons
are the best, and that nature has
especially adapted them for the work
by bestowing on them peculiar gifts
aud qualities, is the opinion of Sir
Thomas Smith. "Their small hands,
deftness and dextrous use of the
needle and thread" he says, "are no
small advantages, now that surgery is
becoming more constructive.

Is familiarity with the sight Of con,
victs engaged at hard labor in the
open air demoraizing? If so, how?
Prisons stand in full view of every
one who chooses to go by them, The
criminal courts are open to all comers
quite as much as a matter Of justice
to the accused as for any other con-
sideration. we cannot disguise from
the community the fact that law
breaking and crime exist. Is it any
more demoralizing to couple with this
fact the reminder that offenses against
good order ere, ard must be, punished?
And which is the more likely to n
flame the morbid imaginations Of
youth, for instance, the spectacle Of
high prison walls concealing grue-
some mysteries behind them, with an
occasional glimpse of a striped suit
as it fits past a barred window, or
the plain spectacle of conyicts at hard
labor, with no background Of myster-
ious suggestion? Indeed the fact is
we'll known that in those parts of the
country where convict road-making Is
practiced, public curiosity died out
with the first flush of novelty, and
nobody now pauses to give the gang q
second glance.

The distinction of being the first
city in the United States to under
take forest-planting on a large scale
and so establishing what is called in
Europe a forest town belongs, it ap-
pears, to Brunswick, Me. This mu-
nicipality owns a track Of some thou
sand acres Of what was at one time
pine land, but which has now for sew
eral years been given over to the riots
Of forest fires and the growth Of wild
huckleberries At a meeting of the
Town Council, held the other day, it
was decided to appropriate a thousand
dollars for the improvement of this
rack by the planting of white pine.
The best seed possible will be pur-
chased and a nursery set up for rails
ing young trees. When these reach
the proper age they will, if healthy,
be transplanted in rows and set out
in the positions they will finally oc-
cupy, after which they will need little
further care, save in the way of pro-
lection from fire. As things are now
the land is absolutely unproductive,
and if the new scheme proves success
ful it will be both ornamental and
profitable. In Europe, at any rase,
such town forests are common enough,
and usually furnish a considerable
cart OF the city's revenue.

Composer of the Boer National Anthem.
The national anthem of the Beers
was written by an old lady who is at
present living peaceful, obscure life
in Holland. She is Miss Catherine
Felicia Van Rees, and was born in
Holland, at zutphen, in 1881. u She is
AN excellent musician, and in her
youth she composed several operettas,
which were performed by the Choral
Society, Utrecht. At one of these
performances she made the acquaint-
snce of Mr.. Burgers, member of the
society, who was at that time studying
theology in the University of Utrecht.
In 1875 Burgers, who in the meantime
had been President OF the South Afri-
san Republic, went back to Europe
and renewed the acquaintance of his
old friend, Miss Van Rees. One day
he begged her to write a national
hymn for the Transvaal, aud within a
few hours she wrote both words and
music for what is now the Beers
national hymn. The burghers were
so pleased with the composition that
the Volksraad Of Pretoria officially ac.
cepted the work, and sent Miss Van
Rees a letter of thanks and congratu-
lations. The hymn is very popular
among the Beers, and it is said that
The British soldiers in South Africa
have heard it so often that many Of
them now sing and whistle it.-Chi-
cago Times Herald.

PUZZLE EFroRrs AT RESCUE.

1t was in the midst of this work
that the writer saw them. Some
ninety feet had been gained through
the fall. The whole slope, some nine
feet in width, had not been cleared,
but narrow passage four feet wide
had been driven through the centre Of
it. This was propped and strength
ened by great timbers, for there was
constant danger of the roof coming
down. The gas was heavy and safety
lamps had to be used, so the light was
dim and uncertain. The moaning of
the mine was still to be heard and
had a most weird effect, as if breasts
and gaugways were mourning for their
victims. The men worked in shifts
of hali-a-dozen each, three hacking
and pecking at the "face" of the fall
with their picks and three shoveling
back the debris to others behind
them, who passed it out in a line.
Great masses of rock had to be shat
tered with drill and hammer, for it
was not safe to use powder, and the
progress was distressingly slow. As
soon as one shift became tired an
other took its place, and the work
went on. Inspectors and foremen
stood about directing the work and
keeping a careful eye on the danger
GUS roof AS the writer watched there
was a cry of warning, the men came
tumbling back from the 'face," and a
rush was made up the slope. There
was a crash, a roar, we were blown
off our feet and dashed ageinst the
sides Of the slope by a conclusion
which extinguished the lights. An
investigation revealed the fact that
twenty feet, gained by hard work dur
ing the last twenty-four hours, had
been filled up again.
1--WE must keep at it, boys" said
one Of the foremen cheerily, and at it
they went.

NoveItIes In Dress.

The high corselet Of satin, velvet or
panne promises to be a popular dress
accessory throughout the summer.
Panne is the favorite material, and it
is fastened with handsome buttons of
paste or of art-nouveau.
Embroidered effects in silk, in com
bination with open-work patterns, are
steadily gaining in favor. The ma.
terial most used is satin or crepe, and
the open work is filed in with tulle,
either plain or figured, and bordered
or surrounded with embroidered ef-
feet. All styles of embroidery are
seen, with a slight preference for
chenille.
1t iB no longer an open question as
to who's got the button. Every
smartly gowned woman can answer
the puzzle. Satin buttons of small
size, covered with spidery net work,
are used in great quantities. Some
costumes require as many as six dozen
to trim them, according to the mode.
Paste, metal and enamel buttons are
also used on many new costumes.
Draped berthes, narrow Venise lace
yokes, pieces at the tops of decollete
bodices, accordion-pleated fronts of
diaphanous fabrics, Greek draperies
brought from the right shoulder to tho
waist and terminating in long scarf
ends, fchus Of lace or chiffon, are all
in favor for evening dresses.
A novelty is canvas yelling. 1t is
usuallyplain, butone variety is striped
with fine, white cords half an inch
apart.

PATRONS OF THE POSTOFFlCE
Are Asked to Form Into Four Lines
Today

J
Speaking Of the Sunday delivery of z all
at the Dostcfhce, Deputy Postmaster
Jewett said yesterday:
The Sunday delivery of mail, about
which there are many comments and a.
great many suggestions for its better
ment, is as unsatisfactory to the post
ofIice officials as II is to the general pub
lie. If the office had been provided, as
Il. ought to have been with a window for
each carrier, or one window for two car
riers, the matter would easily adjust it
self. Patrons would then line up to each
of the windows. AS it is now however,
this is somewhat difficult. To have lines
formed under present window facilities,
it viii take some longer to make the de
livery, for the reason that there would
be good portion Of the time that only
cue or Two carriers could be working at
deliverie. at the same time
This system row in vogue was estab-
Ishod by Mr. Fitch, except that under
present arrangements we have more
window space and can dispose of the mail
more rapidly. The crowding is to some
extent, unnecessary. The bulk Of the
mail is delivered inside of twertv minutes
after the window is opened ana the exer-
else OF just a little patience would make
crowdipg altogether unnecessary.
An application has been made for iron
ratings, so that lines can he, some ex-
tent formed This win be given a trial.
as il is very anxious to prevent the
crowding which seems TO grow greater
and more impatient each Sunday and on
every holiday.
ITO try an experiment today, the
patrons viii he asked to form in about
four lines. and as the entire carrier 'front.'
agf is opened. it Will make no difference
Through which line you approach the win
d9w. This can be easily done if the
patrons of the office are good natured and
win assist in the matter no crowding
will result and your mail win be delivered
Jas promptly as possible under the cir
Gums tanCes."
