curious little stone is on view at the
Dore Gallery, London, says the Daily
Mail When placed in a certain light it
shows a fnely-carved face, and many peo-
pie aver that the face is the face of the
Redeemer as depicted by some of the old
masters.
The stone was discovered by an Ameri
can lady on Mount Kopfel, overlooking
the village of Oberammergau, famous
for the Passion play. Geological experts
guarantee that it is natural and that no
tool has carved it.
Among those who have examined 1t are
DR.. Garnet, of the British Museum, who
calls it "a great natural curiosity, more
curious than anything of the same nature
with which 1 am acquainted, and the his
tory of its discovery is more curious
| still;" and Sir w H. Fowler of South
Kensington Museum who describes it as
"a small fragment the broken surface
of which shows a striking resemblance
to a human face" According to Mrs
Craigie John oliver Hobbes), the en-
laTged photographs of the stone do not
give "the same sensation of astonish-
ment and, indeed, reverence which the
original irresistibly conveys"
No matter how large salary woman
earns as typewriter, amanuensis or pri-
vate secretary, she is seldom able to COM
mand a dollar three days after payday
| They are always In financial straits, and
| nine times out of ten their salaries are
mortgaged before they are earned. A few
"a very few-manage to have their lives
| insured for small amounts and a proper
ton are sufficiently practical to join So
| cieties that pay sick benefits, but that is
| all. The remainder of their earnings is
| spent for pretty frocks and parasols and
falfals for matinees and summer trips.
To be sure, women do not make large
amounts generally. There are few who
! draw weekly stipend of even $25, but
whatever they earn they spend. One
young woman who always resolves that
| the next time her salary is raised she
will put the extra amount in the bank
each Saturday finds invariably when the
| addition to her wage comes that her ex-
| penses increase in proportion and the
whole is spent before she knows it.
Another young woman known to a
writer ON the Chicago Chronicle who is
paid $35 a week for her labor spends every
| cent of it, while her brother who re-
| ceives but $25, saves S. each week. and
has made a tidy little sum by invest
ments. The sister excuses herself by de-
| elaring that women's clothes cost far
more than mems and that, while her rela-
| tive can dress well on $500 q year. she
| can barely maintain good appearance
| on the $500 she sets apart for tailor din
ner and evening frocks
The remainder of her income goes in
| board, laundry bills, the small enterta ain
ments she gives and her annual trip to
| the seashore for a months rest.
In contrast to this case is that of a
young woman who was endeavoring to
| live on $15 a week, but whose efforts were
| frustrated by the good offices OF an ell
derby friend who swept down upon this
| unprotected female every Saturday and
wrestled from her willfully S. This the
elderly friend put in a bank in her own
name, 30 that the girl couldn't draw II
out when she saw a love of a boa. 1t
drew interest at 9h per cent. Then when
year later the young woman had an
excellent position offered her in Chicago
she found to her amazement that her
| long-headed friend had something like
$50 to give her for the expenses of the
| trip.
This sounds like a dream or fairy tale,
| but 1t Is perfectly true, and it only
proves that each working woman would
| be better off IL she had some one to
sweep down upon her and rob her tempo
rarily of her hard-earned lucre. Left
alone. the chances are she won't have a
cent.
