WOMEN AS TELEGRAPHISTs.
In This work they Have OhIy Or
dinhry Capacity, Hut They
Are DociIe.

Women possess the ability to per-
form the routine duties of teleg-
raphy when carried on at low, even
pressure as efficiently as men. A
broader worldly education gives
them the judgment and ability neces-
sary to perform duties OF a higher
character. In addition, says the
London Economic Journal, they are
attractive 10 employers because they
can be obtained considerably cheaper
than men. They possess, too. the
sovereign advantage of docllity.
There are not lacking signs, however,
that this docility will decrease as
women become more conscious OF
their economic value and RESPONSE
bilities. AS a set-oif TO their at
tractive qualities they suffer from
certain disabilities and disadyan-
tages which detract from their
value, and tend TO neutralize the
economy in money wages. They
would appear to have lower in
dividual output than men, and, as a
consequence, Il is necessary TO en-
ploy larger stan of women than OF
men for the same work. They suffer
much more from sickness than men,
which reduces their trustworthinesi
and value. This sickness Is largely
due TO causes that are natural and
inherent, and therefore ineradicable
Their average service is considers
bly, shorter than mems, and they ar'
thus lost at the period Of their high

To rid the house of black ants there
Is, perhaps, no better rule than the old

alum is dissolved. II should be boiling
hot while IL is being used. All house
hold insects disappear before this
treatment.
Cream sauces should always be made
with -four. Cornstarch requires so long
a time to become thoroughly cooked
that IL is not adapted for thickening
milk. One reason for this is that milk
should never be boiled, because of its
/ astringent effect upon the system.
This is indicated by the fact that physi-
clans order boiled milk when they de-
sire to administer an astringent.

whistled or sung IN their nearing.
These they reproduced with consider
able accuracy, words and all. The
words were, however, generally
sounds phonetically similar to those
heard, and were sometimes, in fact,
quite amusing. This sudden musical
development seemed remarkable, con-
sidering that their natural attempts
include only monotonous dronings,
accompanied sometimes by an un-
measured inane drumming ON a sort
of tambourine. There are many art
lists among them whose carvings and
etchings on ivory are of high excel
lence, says the Era.
There is a marked difference in the
adaptability TO Caucasian customs be-
tween the men and wo,nen of this gace.
The men are much lSeener in anticipat-
ing what is likely to meet with white
favor, and lose no time in at least con-
cealing habits and inclinations that
are seen 10 be Objectionable, while the
women make but little progress in this
direction. The contrast is best shown
at the white mans table, one or two
meals sufhcing TO prevent any painful
exhibitions from the men; whereas
with the women no improvement is to
be observed. With either sex, at such
times, the unselfish soiicitude for their
absent friends is sure TO evince itseli

A MINISTER'S FISH STORY.
HIs Narrative Was n rrine Different
from the Usual Run Of
such Tales.

The minister's daughter was enter
tanning a few girl friends at the par
Eonage the other evening, and after
the latest bit Of gossip had been dis
eussed over dainty cups of the orient
al beverage, the father Of the hostess
was unanimously elected to entertain
them with story, says the Chicago
Daily News.
Some one has said" began the good
man, "that the unexpected always hap
pens; and as fish story is about the
last parson would be expected to re-
late, / will endeavor to entertain sou
with one, the truth of which can
voueh for.
1T was one summer evening In the
gathering twilight" said he, while
standing on a rustic bridge which
spanned a famous trout stream near
her fathers house, that I won from

to be my wife. She was just the least
Bit inclined to fiirt, and had q rival
in the field; so, to make the affair
more binding, 1 drew from her hand a
ring which she had often declared she
would only give to her betrothed lover
and transferred Il to my own finger.
1T was my mothers engagement

"a week later she went away on a
visit, aud then my only consolation
was TO haunt that favorite spot on
the bridge which had been our trysting
place. Once while leaning over the
railing and thinking OF our engage,
ment took from my finger the treas
ured ring, and gazed fondly on the
initials-hezs as well as her mothers
engraved within. In attempting Il

favor Of female employment, but do
not give the details of the reasoning
which brings them to this conelu-
sion. Weighing up the evidence
which is TO hand, the writer IL torced
to the conclusion that the factor
which turns the scale in favor OF
women is their docility. Doubtless
the authorities are influenced TO a
considerable extent by the necessity
of justifying themselves in adopting
female labor. But after allowing for
this influence, there does not seem
sufficient reason for the very general
declaration in favor of women unless
we allow a tremendous value TO their
docility. This characteristics of wom-

administrative officers. With a male
stan torn and agitated by the labor

THE ALASKA ESoUIMAUx.
Something About Their Linguistic
Aptitude and Musical De-
VeIOpment.

The Alaskan Eslimos are highly
intelligent, industrious, moral and
honest according to their standards
In such matters, which differ some-
what from our own. They are strictly
truthful, Of kindly, cheerful disposi-
tion, and exceedingly gentle, patient
and tactful in their manners. In illus
tration of their intelligence, IL was in
teresting TO note that while their LAM
guage embraced but a fed hundred
words as against our overwhelming
vocabulary, they and not we made all
the advance, eyineing the keenest in

mans tongue. In yoicing their pro-

The bi.monthly cleaning will be

An ordinance was prohibiting

SOLDIERS LOVE TOBACCO.
Great Comfort Derived by Men Who
Have Lighted Pipes During
BLOODY battles.

Most Of the distinguished officers OF
the world hold that whatever COM
forts the soldier on active service may
be deprived OF he should on no account
be stinted in the matter Of tobacco,
and in the gravest Of histories relating
to the Franco-Prussian war IL is
stated that the total want Of even to-
bacco 20 make cigarettes among the
French troops on many occasions did
not a little to dispirit them, says the
Edinburgh Scotsman.
Private Jones, who obtained the Vic.
toria cross at Rorke's Drift, says that
In the very thick Of the fight several
comrades lighted their pipes with blaz-
ing Fragments Of wood from the
wooden hospital which had been fred
