Women in HoIIand.

A great change has come oyer pub- lie feeling in Holland as to girls in the upper classes earning their own livelihood. The prejudice against women working for livelihood has almost disappeared and even rich women sometimes choose a profes- sion. They number doctors, dentists, many of them first rate, photograph CTS, and gardeners. About 1000 girls hold posts as assistant chemists, some 5000 are nurses, trained in the White Cross homes, and on par with the very best of their profess sion. A woman is curator of the natural history museum in Haarlem end another holds the same post at Utrecht, while a third is head dis penser at 8 hospital in Amsterdam. The railway, post and telegraph off, ccs are largely served by women clerks, who altogether outnumber the men.

WASTE OF GOLD IS HEAVY.
Loss and Wear of the Precious Metal Amounts to Million DoI- :,
 lars . Year.

It is fortunate for the world that new gold mines are being developed at a rapid rate; otherwise there would soon be a famine in the precious met al- The loss by the wear of gold coins is in itself of much consequence. A competent statistician estimates it at 17s per cent. of the total amount in circulation, or $s7, ,5oo, ,ooo for gold and silver combined. On this basis it may be calculated that the annual loss which actually takes place in gold alone by wear and tear is about $20,- DOC, 1000. Gold is lost in many other ways, vast quantities are hoarded (es- pecially in foreign countries), and a large proportion of this is subsequent ly lost, as shown by the quantity of treasure trove which comes to the surface every year, though 1t probably represents but small part of that which has been concealed. Every ship which founders st sea takes certain amount of gold with it, which may amount anywhere from few dollars to millions, if it happens to be laden with the precious metal. The amount of gold required annually in the arts is estinAted 1t sac, 900 o,coo, and, as this calculation was made few years ago, when the annual pr eduotion was about $12o, ,oeo, ,ooo, it tSllowsl tRa at3theiamounti used in this way is about double that which is used as currency.

for the least money is the motto of the capitalist, and 'the least work for the most money" is the motto of the work ing man. I do not mean that this is always the case but it is generally so.
 What then is the wisest course in such mean world? It is not to pursue the very course that MT Carnegie pur- sued in the beginning of his career, ac- cept the situation. Go to work indus triously. Be honest enough and faith ful enough to gain the confidence of those above you and of the public.
 Do your work as well as possible and don't be afraid to do little more than you are paid for. Grow in your work until you can do it better than anybody else. Save up little every week until you have capital of your own and keep a sharp lookout for future chan ces.
 In pursuing this course you will rise above and keep above the pitiable con- dition in which the anarchist described himself to MT Carnegie. You will be- come small or a large capitalist your self and thenif you have philanthropic ideas of your own you will have the means of carrying them into execution.
 This theory of life may not bo as benevolent as that of the anarchist who would have men refuse to accumulate wealth for fear of robbipg others, but it is, I really believe, common sense view and one well adapted to the kind of a world we live in. A theory that would suit some other kind of world may be beautiful and elevated and all that, but it is like a perpetual motion that certain ingenious lad once in- vented. It was a beauty and always promised to be a grand success, but it had one serious defect. It wouldn't do. Edward x. Bacon in Oneonta Star.

Notwithstanding the presidents ut- terance about third term New York paper says that the first thing to be done is to have William Mckinley re- nominated and reelected in 1904. The imperialists are bent upon taking time by the forelock, for although the as- sembling of the republican national convention is three years off, they are already at work trying to familiarize the public with the third term program. One of tAeirspokesfnen sthe New York Centrars representative in the United States senate, Chauncey NJ. Depew. The railroad senator and court jester is put forward on the same principle that small balloons are sent up before the main ascension to see how the wind blows. Chauncey is quite sure that the present occupant of the white house is so popular that if nominated in 1904 he would be elected with a whoop. In a carefully prepared statement he says "the only objection which may be urged against his reelection is the anti-term feeling, and that would amount to noth- ing where the candidate possesses the confidence of the country to the degree MT Mckinley does" Like the rest of his class, Depew thinks "the country is synonymous with the trusts and such great combinations of wealth as he himself represents on the floor of the United States senate. If the trust mag mates and other multi-nillionaires, who, on the principle of reciprocity, favor the present administration. could have their way, there is no doubt that Will liam Mckinley could have third term or, for that matter, any number of terms. Luckily, however, McKinley's s multi-millionaire friends do not elect the electoral colleges, although their money will be an influential factor in the next as 1t was in the last presiden- tial election.

PRoF1T-sHARING UP IN CANADA.

For the past six years there has been in operation in the firm of Messrs Henry Morgan & Company a plan whereby employees who have served the firm faithfully and well for number of years are rewarded It is a plan which might be adopted by other large houses with advantage to both employ CTS and employees. In February of each year, being the end Of the, Messrs Morgan's financial year, every em- ploye, no matter in what capacity he or she is serving, has an amount do- mated to him in proportion to the sal ary earned, and this amount is regu- lated by the net profits on the business of the year. If the profits do not reach 8 certain figure, which is con lsidered the minimum that the partners have a right to expect for their own services and capital invested, no do- nation is made; but if this figure is reached, then the donation is at the rate of five per cent of the employees salary, and this rate increases with the larger amount of net profits over the minimum Tn the six years that the scheme has been in operation the per- centage has varied from six to twelve per cent.
 The amount thus donated is then dealt with in the following manner: All employees who are engaged On astraight salary receive one-half of the amount in cash, and the other half is placed to the credit of their respective accounts in the bonus ledger. For instance, a clerk whose salary is $1 GOO per annum, in year when the percentage earned is twelve per- cent would receive sixty. dollars in cash, and have sixty dollars put to his credit in the bonus ledger. Heads of departments, etc, who are en- gagged on salary and commission, every such head being practically a partner, so far as his own department is. con- cerned, have the whole of this amount placed at their credit. Bank interest is added at the end of each financial year and the amount is payable in case of the employees death to ben eficiary that has been named.
 Furthermore, if an enploye remains in the service of the firm for twenty one years from the inauguration of this scheme, or has attained the age of sixty five years, the last seven of which have been spent in the service of the firm, he is entitled, when leaving with an honorable record, to draw the full amount that has been accumulated to his credit If leaving in the same manner at the end of fourteen years, he can draw two-thirls of the amount, and if at the end of seven years one-third.

Carnegie. the steel king and the do- nator of libraries is afraid England will very soon go to pieces. Last week he gave voice to sentiment more prudent Anglomaniacs en- certain. but have refrained from ex- pressing in words. Many of them have hinted in vague way at what the null ti-milIionaire has frankly stated. They did not like him to blurt out that the United States at any and every risk to itself would rush to John Bulls as- sistance in the event of his being sum- moned to the bar of justice to receive the punishment he has so we'll earned by his long and successful career in the role of highway robber in every quarter of the globe. In the day of our weakness he not only did not sym pathize with us, but did everything he could to injure us. In the day of our strength he would like us to save him from the effects of the worldwide ha- tired engendered by the selfish and un- scrupulous policy he has employed in his dealings with every nation. Car negie, who thinks his millions entitle him to speak for the whole American people, says that when the cry for help comes from England it will find a ready and favorable responsa from this conn., try. In an interview which has been cabled across the Atlantic, he makes this predictions: ''Mark my words, the time Is coming when the Continental powers will combine to smash up this little island of Great Britain. When that happens she will have to turn to the United States for help. feel cer- tain it will not be refused. The Unit ed States will step in and say, sDon't.'n

SENDS HIS BILLS TO THE MEN.
Shopkeeper Who Found That They Paid Much More Promptly
 Than the Women.

There is man in an eastern city who does large business in babies dresses. and clothing for very young children, writes Edward Box, in La- dies Home Journal. He makes and sells nothing else. His trade is almost entirely with women. Up to. within three years ago he would send out to his customers bills amounting to as much as $1O,00o. In six months time he would receive less than $3 ,o0O in re- turn. Yet his customers all "stood welr' and were considered women of easy means. Then he deliberately changed his method of rendering bills. He went over his books and found that he had some $12, LOGO worth of unpaid accounts. He made out the bills and addressed them to the husbands or fathers of his customers, directing the bills to their offices Within 60 days he had received $9,60o in checks. His invariable rule now is to send all his bills to the husbands, fathers or the male members of his customers fami- lies. When no male member exists he insists upon cash transaction.

AUSTRALIAN NICKNAMES.
eC0rnsta1lks,v ssGum-Suckers" and "Crov-Tnaters'' Are Some of the
 Pet Appel1atiOns.


 Although the Australian colonies have now been linked together in a commonwealth, it is not probable that the nickname bestowed by one prov nes on another will be abandoned, says the Leisure Hour. The inhabitants of New South Wales have long been known as ''cornstalks," an allusion to the length and slimness of the aver age young New south Wales. native victorians are known as 'gum-suok- ers," with reference to the gum that ls found on many native trses, Semc of which is rcishsd by juveniles. "Crow-esters," as appledto the south Australians, owes its origin to state
 nent that in times of drought the wheat farmers of south Australia arc driven to the source suggested for food. "Wheatfelders" is 8 more eu- phonious name sometimes used for the same province. The Queenslanders are known as banana landers," that trop- ical fruit growing there abundantly. Western Australians--or, as they are now generally called, Westralans-- are known in the east as ''sand grop- CTS" or "gropers." The Westralians themselves group all the other states into s.t'other side," and call the resi- dents st'other siders."

RIVERS AT PlTTSBURG
 PASS THE DANGER LINE.

Pittsburg, December 15.-Pittsburg three rivers at 9 o'clock tonight have passed the danger line and are still rising with reports from the headwaters of the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers stat mg that the cold wave will prevent the streams from reaching thirty feet. but that considerable damage will result from the unexpected rise and inability of ship pers and river men to tie craft securely before the crest of the rise arrived. In the Allegheny river at o'clock the wa ter indicator showed twenty-five feet seven inches and the river rising; in the Monongahela the reading on the guage was twenty-six feet and seven inches, while at Davis Island dam, twenty-one feet six inches and rising seven inches an hour was reported.
 At Brownsville twenty-eight feet and rising is reported, while at all points above the Allegheny report rising waters. At o'clock tonight the seventy-five coal barges on the Monongahela river of the Consolidated Coal and Coke Company, which were tied at the Brownsville land ing, between Pittsburg and Davis Island dam. broke loose and were whirled away by the swift current.
