The death of General Alexander C.
McClurg removes one more member
OF the dwindling group of old citizens
who helped to raise Chicago from the
rank of small city to that Of great
one. Nearly forty-two years of his
life were spent in Chicago. Both his
public services and his private enter
prise have been such as to give him
a well deserved place on the city's roll
of honor. General McClurg's military
title was earned in many hot battle
in the Valley of the Cumberland. He
enlisted as private in a volunteer
company which he assisted in organ
izing in Chicago, and he won his way
upward through various grades to
that of brigadier general by brevet.
He proved his soldierly qualities at
Chickamauga and Chattanooga and
in other great battles in that region,

UnSuIfobfe Empfoymenfs for
Women.


A vigorous protest against the ten
dency of young women to leave the
parental roof and embark in the pur-
suits heretofore followed in civilized
countries exclusively by men is con-
tributed to the current number of the
Independent by Henry, T. Finck the
well known sociologist and author.
Against the woman who is compelled
by misfortune or poverty to earn her
living in some form Of industrial ac-
tivity Mr. Finck has no complaint. 1t
is for this class, in fact, that he pleads
when he protests against what he calls
foolish and criminal warfare on
home life" For every woman who
leaves the refining atmosphere of home
life to engage in a gainful occupation
merely from choice and not of neces-
sity diminishes the opportunities of the
thousands of poor who must earn their
daily bread.
The epidemic delusion that home is
no place for q girl seems in Mr. Fincks
opinion to be gaining ground daily.
home and it's influences in our civil
ization a considerable number of agi-
tators are endeavoring to disseminate
the idea that it is the duty of women,
no matter what their circumstances,
to make themselves self-supporting
and independent. The writer is very
severe upon the phase of the new
woman" movement which takes en-
ployment away from those who are
compelled to earn a livelihood. He
says:
1.-THE selfishness which prompts the
daughters of well-to-do parents to
lower the rate of wages for everybody
by flooding the market with compe-
tition as ruinous as an invasion Of
cheap Chinese labor is a most unwom-
anly quality which should make mer
shy of marrying them; though, to be
sure, many of these girls, like thos'
who encourage the slaughter of birds
for their hats, do not know how crue
they are"
Even in the case of girls ant
women who must WOrK the writer uoei
not believe that they should be allowed
as they are at present to precipitat
themselves blindly into nearly ever,
kind of a job that men have hereto
fore performed in this country. Tn
advocates of "woman's independence
take a great deal of pleasure in call
ing attention to the remarkable prog
ress" of women in invading the EN-
pigments of men regardless of tn
question whether these employment
are suitable for them or not Tn
J fact that As per cent of the factor

! women is sometimes pointed to as
gratifying evidence of woman's ad
vancement in independence.

Among the fruits of the unhappy
condition into which exorbitant taxes,
low wages and other industrial evils
have plunged the masses in Italy to-
day is an increase in the number and
activity of the robber bands infesting
various parts of the kingdom. The ex-
cuse given by many of those who enter
upon a life of brigandage is that the
government takes every penny they
earn by honest labor, and there is
nothing left for them but to rob and
plumber or die of starvation. Be that
as it may, the brigand army is certain
ly being recruited at an alarming rate.
1t is said that in Sardinia alone last
year nearly 100 brigands were cap
tured and some hundreds of followers
arrested, including the mayors of sew
eral small towns. Southern Italy is in
tested, and the extent of the intimida-
ton and robbery can hardly be grasped
by the inhabitants of orderly communi-

one reason, and an important one, is
TAT Canadian farmers are not tena-

Some important as well as inter-

Industrial commission the other day
by Major r. B. Wright, colored man,
who is president of an industrial col
lege near Savannah, Ga. The testi-
mony pertained to the condition OF
negroes in the south, and was to the
effect that if the government had given
each colored man forty acres and a

have been of more benefit to the race,

One of the first things that surprises
a foreigner on arriving at Pekin is
the strange sound that seems to come
down from the celebrated musical
doves of that city. Overhead on all
sides are great fiocks of these birds,
and ever as they sweep to and fro
the weird music is heard. Compared
with the plaintive coo of ordinary
pigeons it seems mysterious, and yet
it is easily explained. To the tail of
each bird is fastened an instrument
known as "chao-the,' "chao" signify
ing pipes and 1.-The" mechanical. The
instrument is composed of several
small reeds, and is so light that the
birds flight is no whit impeded there
by. 1t is fastened to the tail between
the two middle feathers and is kept
in place by a small stick, which passes
through the instrument. During the
birds rapid flight the air passes i'm
petuously through the reeds, causing
continuous shrill sounds. 1t is said
that these instruments were invented
by a mandarin and that their object
is to protect the doves, which are
highly priced everywhere in China.
from birds of prey. If this be true,
the object has certainly been attained.
since only bird of supernatural cour-
age and ferocity would venture to at
tack a dove capable of making such
uncanny sounds as these. Even human
beings are startled when they hear
them for the first time, but they soon
become used to them.

rapeworms in Poultry.

Tapeworms sometimes infest poultry
to such an extent that they become
very troublesome. No less than nine
varieties are known to infest fowls,
and when fowls are so infested they
become distinctly Improbable, both
for egg production and for fattening.
One medical authority advises the use
of one teaspoonful of powdered pome-
granate root bark for every fifty fowls.
It is. however, easier to prevent than
to cure such troubles, and the neces-
sity for greater cleanliness is appar-
ent. The same ground should not be
used for combining fowls year after

Butter will be used extensively in
the topics If some means can be found
of keeping it in perfect condition dur
ing time of transit. Up to the present
time tins and heat have been the prin-
cipal factors in its keeping power. An
English paper says that for very
many years France had practically the
monopoly of supplying the demand
from warm climates, and, because a
considerable proportion of this butter
underwent a special process of heating,
the words "beurre fondu" became a
regular trade term, which, however, is
to be translated literally, so as to in
dictate the favorite household product
which we call melted butter" BY
means of heat, the butter is purified"
and solidly packed into receptacles,
which, as a rule, are Theoretically
sealed tins" Some day refrigeration
will become practicable Tor warm
countries, and when that condition is
reached the butter trade will enor-
mously develop in that direction.
