Men Of Germany View with Alarm
Their Invasion of Business Life.
Make Bitter Complaint In Columns
. Of the Press, Many Urging Need OF 4
Legislation for suppression rs
555 Of ssFeminine Peril.''

The rapidly growing invasion Of
business life by German women has
.precipit tate d a VI gorous protest on
the part Of the male Wage-earnersz Of
the empire. Columns Of bitter COM
plant. have been published in the
metropolitan newspapers, many Of
q the locked-out sex urging the need Of
legisl ton for the suppress sion Of the
feminine perl. Z It is stated that
owing o'' yin to the necessity for curtailing
expenses thousands Of employers
have supplanted male help by girls
and women willing to- work for one
half or one-third Of mems pay. III.
Numerous eases are reported where
heads Of families have become de-
pendent on the earnings Of their own
daughters. High-class clerical posi-
tions in which men have hitherto
been supreme are daily falling into
the hands Of women. The mems
cause has been given an additional
setback by the publication of letters
from business colleges, merchants
and manufa cturers asserting that ex-
perience proves that the average girl
is not only cheaper but also more
capable than the average male office
assistant. ~ i1 ~ Z #s
\ Women are not allowing the men to
monopolize the discussion. They de-
clare that women are compelled to
work in Germany because the men Of
the nation have inherited objections
to taking dowerless brides. Women,
they allege, will be forced to desert
the household as long as the selfish
matrimonial traditions of the coun-
try are recognized and practiced.

A PHENOMENAL YEAR.
Receipts at the New Y ork Post Office
Aggregate $13,OOO,OOO for
Year 1901, # d..

The receipts from stamps, postal
cards. and envelopes at the New
York post oce have more than quad
rupled in less than 80 years. +.
For 1901 they will aggregate about
$13,000,000. In 1873 they aggregated
100000 in round numbers. y. :"
"The business of the New York
post office for this year has been
phenomenal" said Postmaster Van
Colt. ''Our receipts for stamps, pos
tai cards and envelopes for this
month will exceed $1,2oo,oOO. The
average monthly receipts will exceed
81, 100000. In 1873, when the post
age was three cents, the total re
ceipts for the year were about So ,00O,-
900. In 1888, when I first came here,
they ranged from 100000 to 100000
a month. This year, with two-cent
postage, our receipts have exceeded
100000 a month, and for Decem-
Der will approach $1,250,OO0. OF
course much of this increase is due
to the growth of the city, general
prosperity and the fact that many of
the largest corporations in the coun-
try have established their main of
fees in New York. These receipts
are exclusive of the revenues from
the money order business, and the
transactions of that department for
this year represent $3.50, OOO,OOO.'r

EXPERIMENT. IN PORTO RICO.
GOOD Success Promised for Tent
Raised Tobacco In the Little 5.5ls
.r%,se ~ Island. &t5

Connecticut methods Of. growing
tobacco under d cheese cloth tents
seem to be making rapid Roadway
in the island of Porto Rico, accord
ing to the statement Of William j.
Hayes, of Tariffville, Conn, who has
just returned from a tobacco planta-
ton in the island, where he is con-
Quoting experiments. For. two years
various growers in Connecticut have
been studying the effects Of a to-
bacco crop raised under tents, and
the good results have led to a gem
eral adoption Of tenting methods.
Tobacco under cheesecloth Il tents
will, it has been found in the Con-
necticut valley, grow to unusual
height, retain all of the excellencies
OF the smaller plants, grow. more
leaves and, take on a finer flavor.
Mr.Hayes has been in Porto Rico
for several months experimenting
experiments on a plantation near
San Juan. owned by Raphael Con-
zales.s He says, in speaking Of the
experiments: eve are now making
the first trial of tent-raised tobacco
in Porto Rico, using about an acre
for the experiment. In two months
from planting the plants have grown
two feet. We have found that wind,
rain and too hot suns are, tempered
by the covering, and that It keeps
off worms, bugs and feas. I think
that by next year tent-raised to-
bacco will be general throug hout our
part of the island. Already we are
being watched with interest by
scores of planters. = IL:
