WOMEN WAGE-EARNRRS.
Female workers In Fr..es O.tnam-
Der Those In America By "a
Per Cent.

The American woman, independent
and energetic, occupies a unique posi-
tion compared with her sisters Of other
lands. There is hardly profession to
which she has not the entree and an
army Of working women is to be found
In all the larger cities. Yet the sta
tisticians claim that out OF i6, 1894, go
women over 20 years Of age in this
country but 2,7s7 ,s65 or about II per
cent, represent the wage earners. In
contrast are the statistics concerning
the women workers OF France. In that
country nearly one-half the feminine
population, or 5.3sl ,O60 out Of total
Of l2,9O7,ll over 70 years Of age, are
working women.
In addition 10 these millions OF wage
earners, II is computed that there are
100000 women landowners who are
Independent Of masculine support In
scientific work, compiled for use at
the recent exposition and treating Of
women and women'S work In France,
the following table appears: PhyH-
clans, $50: authors. si3; artists and
sculptresses, $500; singers and
actresses, $500; nurses. 10000; milli.
ners, $4,000; govtrnment employees
50 900; members OF religious orders

houses. 2i5OOO; landowners, 100000;
factory girls, 75,oOOi domestic serv'

A NUISANCE.
Msasures Are being Adopted in
Europe for Forcing Them
Into Retirement.

Whoever has Travelled in Europe has
doubtless met in some part Of the con-
tinent gang of Hungarian gypsies
roaming over the various countries Of
Europe, from south TO north and from
west to east. As a rule, they travel In
families, numbering from rs to 100
souls and more, carrying along with
them all their various and strange
paraphernalia and domestic necessi-
ties. In most countries OF Europe laws
have been passed according to which
these vagabonds are allowed to stay
only a couple Of days or couple OF
hours in certain provinces or provin-
cial districts, when they are escorted
by gendarmes over the border. The
principal business transactions CON
sist OF fortune-telling, begging and
stealing. They are especially clever In
the latter branch OF business and take
everything, from pin and needle to
a horse and carriage.
The gypsies have been a real nui-
sance for Europe for centuries and the
Austro-Hungarisn government is now
considering a plan to force this most
peculiar vagabond race into settle
ment, somewhere in the vast plains Of
Hungary. Most characteristic OF the
gypsies is the fact that they never
work. This is one OF their 'frst prin-
ciples. For more than 600 years they
have been roaming over Europe and
the up-to-date gypsy is by all means
the cleyerest thief in the world Where
no cat gets through the little brown
gypsy boy finds his way. They have
no religion, no morals. no honor or no
fatherland. But he Is prouder, per
haps, than a Spanish grandee, He lie,
to perfection and is the greatest story
teller in the world.
Many other efforts have been made
from time TO time to conhne the
gypsies TO certain territories in Hun
gary, but always without any sue.

HAMLET'S CASTLE.
Something About the Home of tho
Famous Dane at EIsinors,
Denmark.

Jacob A. Riis, the New York pow
erty expert, lived as child in the
neighborhood of the castle OF Kron-
borg, Elsinore, Denmark. He has re-
visited the place In recent years, and
his early and later "reminiscences are
embodied IN an article called Ham
let's Castle" which appeared in the
Century.
In 1873, as first step toward maxi
ing II fit for king TO live in, Fred
erik ii. Swept IL clean OF all hurt
full people and animals" meaning, by
the latter, yagrant swine and dogs.
How his broom worked on the "peo-
pie" is instanced by the treatment
OF outcast women under the edict.
They were to be whipped and brand
ed by the headsman, and turned out.
III they came back, both their ears
were to be cut off. II after that they
were again found within the gates Of
the city, the order was TO stun them
into sacks and throw them into the
sound. Four years Of this sort Of
the ground, and the erection was be-
gun Of Kronborg- "crown castle"
That was the name. said the king,
and for miscalling IL "Flounder" or
Hook" any man was 60 pay him the
value OF one fat steer. Long before
its gray walls had risen TO half their
height the new name stuck, and when
Il was finished, In 1885, the steer rev.
enue had ceased to be OF account.
OF the reyelries that attended the
opening Of the castle II may well be
that the echoes ring yet in Hamlet's
description Of "this heavy-hended
revel," which TO his mind is "more
honour'd in the breach than the OBJ
servance." For In that year there
played at Elsinore a troupe OF stroll
ing English actors, which for all we
know with certainty to the contrary
may have included young William
Shakespeare himself, come fresh froIo

town records contain two references
TO them. One is n mere entry Of the

and mey have been on the occasio
Of the opening festivities. Tn
