in Paris for seven years previous to
the war. We made a common purse
and did u own cooking, and it was
seldom that any of us left our retreat
except under cover Of darkness. One
afternoon, when the regular govern
ment troops had begun to attack the
communists and the city was seething
and bubroling with excitement. a wom-
an gave our hiding place away to the
authorities. We were all asleep in a
back room when the front door was
broken open and ten men under the
orders of a lieutenant came bouncing
in upon us.

thinks Mckinley is edging away, and
he acts like a man who vas getting

drop in at the White House some
evening in a careless, way and ask to
borrow flatirons or quilt frames, it

by her friends that they scan't see why she gets $
ting in a day at the wash-tub it would be another
matter" etc. Taking all things into considera-
ton, a day at the wash-tub is no harder than a
day at the typewriter. The ordinary typewriter
carriage weighs four pounds, On an average
the operator lifts the carriage five times a minute.
This equals a lift Of twenty pounds a minute, or
twelve hundred pounds every hour, which in a
working day Of eight hours would equal the lift
ing Of nearly FIVE tons each day. It is true the
weight is lifted a little at a time. But it would
not tighten the labor if FIVE tons of coal were
put in with a teaspoon. And this is but the
mere physical strain of typewriting. Add to
that the nervous strain, the strain on eyes and
fingers which cannot be measured or weighed and
the burden Of the typewriter's task is even then
not fully fathomed. For often, owing to wom-
anly weakness, the work must be done under
conditions which make it little short of torment.
Working women in Offices, stores and factories
all work hard. An analysis Of any form of
woman's work with reference to its hardship, as
in the case Of the typewriter given above, would
show a physical strain undreamed Of. There are

new operations which satisfactory con

q quick decision is TO be expected in
some Of these labor controversies. and
in the meantime trade is encouraged
by reports Of satisfactory condition of

the country. AS for spring wheat, the
crop was put in under favorable condi-
lions and there have been few unsatis-
factory reports. Railroad earnings for
May show sc per cent in excess Of 1900

while New York clearlngs show a gain
for the week Of s6.S per cent over 1900
and 59.l per cent over 1899, with gains
at the leading cities outside New York
OF 27.I per cent over 1900 and 27.5 per
cent over 1899.
The cessation OF manipulation in
