A recent study of the Industrial posi-
ton women now occupy in New York
State discloses some facts of interest
to women everywhere. The first thing
which attracts attention is the Increase
in the number of women who support
themselves and the greatly increased
list of occupations open to them. Fifty
years ago there We're only twenty call
ings in which women were engaged.
To-day they compete with men in al
most every known occupation. In the
middle of the century only one woman
worked for every ten men. The ratio
at present is one to four, and ten years
later 1t will probably be lower still.
Moreover, women are changing from
unskilled to skilled laborers, thereby in
creasing their own earnings. and add
Ing to the wealth of the community.
Only thirty years ago two-thirds of all
the self-supporting women in New
York State We're domestic servants;
that is to say, unskilled laborers. The
relative number has gradually de-
creased, until now the domestic" rep
resents only one-thlrd OF those who
work. In diversity of calling the men
have little advantage over their sisters.
Among New York women there are
more than five hundred hotelkeepers,
five hundred janitors, one thousand
journalists, one hundred and fifty
preachers, and one hundred each OF
lawyers, dentists, Inventors, designers
and physicians. Even occupations here.

or fifth conviction. 1t is proved beyond
doubt that he or she is incapable Of per-
forming the duties, and therefore of
exercising the rights, of free citizen;
sentence is passed for the last time, a
term of Imprisonment is imposed which
is really preparation for the new life
which the hopeless case, the piece of
human refuse, is to lead;
"At the expiration of your sentence
you will be placed in relegatlon," says
the judge.
That means Punishment for life. The
criminal never sees his old haunts,
never mixes with his old companions

be possible for him. to commit crime,
or to contaminate the society which has
now finished with him. Moreover, he
has got to work, and IL he won't do
that, he will find his food cut down and
himself in q prison, which is made just
about as uncomfortable for him as 1t

RUN RISK in EATING GAME.
Flesh of Much Hunted Animals Is A
to Be Diseased

Flesh of Much Hunted Animals Is AID
to Be Diseased.
The eating of thigh" game is I'M
doubleday attended with risk, and the
poisonous effects are probably due to
the toxins produced in the earlier
stages of the putrefactiye process. The
advantage, of course, OF hanging game
Is that the flesh becomes tender and de-
cidedly more digestible than when 1t is
quite fresh. The ripening process, how
ever, may mean the elaboration of the
toxins. 1t has been stated that the
production of the characteristic fiavors
of game is related directly to the
amount of sulphureted hydrogen or
sulphur-alcohol set free, but 1t is rather
repulsive to think that the delicate
flavor of the game is dependent upon
that inyariable product of decomposi-
tion of rotten eggs-sulphureted hydro.
gen. The SMELL evolved during cook
Ing of "higR" game is even more dis
gusting.
Fresh game sometimes sets up mystic
rieus, Poisonous symptoms, which has
been attributed to the fact OF the game
having been overhunted and fatigued.
Fatigue products, indeed, have been
separated from overturned game,
which, when injected into healthy
animal, have produced marked poison-
Gus effects. There is no doubt that
fatigue products under certain circum-
stances are also elaborated in the hu-
man body and give rise to species of
self poisoning, characteristic symp.
toms Of which are headache, stupor
and gastric and intestinal pains. The
flesh of oyerrotten cattle may prove
poisonous from the same cause.
This curious formation of poisonous
products in the flesh of animals through
a state of terror oreXhaustion is q;.,s-
ton well worth considering in relation
to the wholesomeness of animal foods
and emphasizes the Importance of STAY
ing animals intended for food in the
most humane way.-London Lancet.

1t is the old story over again at Wash
ington. Congress has FILTERED away
the first third Of the session and when
1t reassembles after the Christmas re-
cess 1t will find itself very short of time
for the Indispensable legislative work
which must be performed in some fash
ION before the final adjournment. Much
of the waste of time is attributable to
the shipping subsidy bill. The op-
ponents of this measure recognize from
the first that the only sure way to de-
feat Senator Hanna on the matter was
to crowd 1t off the track. They have
given proof of their intention to do SO
at any cost.-Boston Herald.

OF the British legation. Formerly she
was the close friend and eontidante Of
the Countess de Castellase and helped
the latter through the iLtricacies that
beset her when she wens to France as
a bride and entered Paris society. The
friendship of the women terminated
abruptly last summer after the Prince
of Wales had been entertained ut din
ner on the Castcllane yacht. The
prince rather ignored the countess for
the more attractive and vivacious Mrs.
Lee, whereupon the countess asked
Mrs. Lee to leave the yacht. The re-
quest was promptly complied with and
since then the women have not spoken.

THE ALsArRoss HARD 70 XII.

Remarkable Story Told by a British
Officer In the South Pacific.
William j. Reed writes from New
Zealand that an alabatross was re-
Gently caught on the steamer Star of
New Zealand. 1t was killed, us was
supposed, by being strangled and was
then wrapped in an Sid meat cloth and
put in a snow chest for refrigerating.
The body lay in this chest for ten days
at temperature varying from zero to
10 degrees Fahrenheit. Then one Of
the sailors said he heard the bird max
Ing noise. Mr. Coonibs, the first en-
gineer, took the bird out of the box
and down to the engine room, where it
moved it's head, opened its beak and
looked around with wide open eyes.
The lower part of the body and the
legs were frozen stir. The bird was
then put out of Its misery.
Probably the most remarkable story
of an alabatross ever told was that Of
a bird which was found dead oil Sept.
%, 1897, on the beach near Freemantle
in South Australia. Around its neck
was fastened a small piece of tin upon
which had been scratched in French:
Thirteen shipwfecked men took ref
uge upon Crozet Islands on Oct. 4,
1887"
This remarkable information was at
once cabled by the governor of South
Australia to the French government,
which ordered the transport Meurthe,
then in the Pacific, to proceed as fast
as possible to Crozet Islands. When
this vessel reached the islands 1t found
the camp Of the shipwrecked men and
a note from them saying that they
numbered thirteen and were the crew
of the three-masted Tamaris, owned in
Bordeaux. Their ship had driven
ashore and gone to pieces and they had
lived there for some time OH fish and
bird eggs. They added that they had
just built boat out of the wreckage
of the ship and were about to start for
Possession Island, a hundred miles
away, where they thought they would,
very likely. be picked up by a whaler.
The Meurthe at once went to Pos
session Island, but no trace of the men
could be found. Their little boat had
undoubtedly been swamped on the
journey over the stormy waters.
The winged messenger that had
borne to civilization the news of these
castaways had made journey of over
two THOUSAND miles with few chances
to rest on the way. This wonderful
flight will rank with the best of the
many stories that are told OF the al
batross' remarkable powers and edur-
ance on the wings. Sailors believe the
"Man-o'-war-bird" sleeps on the wing
and naturalists tell us that its Immense
wing bones are as long as its body and
that 1t is capable of flying feats that are
unequalled by any other bird.

FIRST GIRL IN CHINA 10 RIDE A WHEEL.

theless, there is actually one woman
among the celestials who may often be
seen with her brothers careering along
the fine roads of Shanghai. There are
not more than two or three Chinese
girls who ride, though the sons of the
wealthy Chinese merchants and many
other Chinese youths may often be
seen riding in the streets of the treaty
ports, the only places in China where
riding is possible. On the whole, the
Chinese have taken kindly to the "bike"
and many are expert trick riders. The
lady referred to is Miss Kit-Sen Of
Shanghai and was the first girl in
China to cycle. She evidently enjoys
