Paid Charity Workers,

"The newest profession for women
is that of charity worker" remarked
a prominent club woman yesterday.
"You needn't laugh. There really Is
such a profession, and it is new, and
if I were a young woman l would en-
ter into training for it. There is not
much competition as yet, and the op-
portunities for studying charity work
are limited, but stall it is now posi-
BILE.
New York has established a train
ing school for charity workers, and it
is meeting with success. The women
who enter are put into active service
at visiting under proper lectures upon
the different phases of the leadership,
and then there are courses of subjects.
1t is quite worth entering from finan-
cial standpoint, also. Philadelphia Is
proverbially conservative, and yet we
pay the young woman at the head Of
our organizing charities the salary of
$4,000, and she can greatly supplement
it by lecturing and literary work upon
the subject Of her profession.
"Other cities do better than this and
the time Is not far distant when all
charitable work will be conducted in a
methodical manner by an expert, who
will be we'll paid for her services. -

Florist Takes Big Risks.

Few people can imagine the great
trouble florists experience in perfect
ing flowers for market" said a Wash
tngton florist. ut is a fact that out Of
over 10000 carnatiOn plants L found
only three which l was satisfied to
raise from, yet each one of these
plants had to be carefully watched and
tended from the day the seeds were
planted until the final test was passed
ON the bloom as to it's form, size, and
color. Many other flowers are equally
as difficult to bring to a state of per-
lection. Training race horses and get
ting them down to fine point is not
near SO difficult as breeding flowers.
1t is an expensive undertaking, and
florists do not make the money people
suppose they do, for it makes mint
to run a big dollhouse.
During cold weather L use an aver
age of eight tons of coal every day to
properly heat my hothouses, to say
nothing of paying experienced florists
and laborers, besides great many
other heavy expenses. Washington is
great flower center, and New York,
Philadelphia, and other large cities
draw heavily on us for flowers and
plants. Our growers have a reputa-
ton that is national. My sales of car
nations alone have gone beyond 600
dozen a day for some time past. /

but I do not think there is city
where people seem to appreciate flow

more than right here in Washington.

The congestion of population in cities
is not peculi%t' to this country alone,
though it is probably more marked
here than elsewhere. 1t has prevailed
in Great Britain, but has been less no.
ticeable on the continent 1t is inter
esting to observe that it is most preya-
lent, generally speaking, where COM
mercial and industrial activity pre-
walls The growth of the German CAPT
tai, Berlin, for one example, has been
exceptionally rapid-for the continent
since German industrial activity set
in within recent years. Until a dozen
or fifteen years ago it was rather
sleepy city, even after the consolida-
ton Of the empire, but by 1900 it had
advanced to 1,S43,0O0 population and
stood fourth among the worlds cities,
London New York and Paris outrank-
ing it and Chicago pressing close be-
hind it. Recently new census has
been taken and it now numbers 1901
567, showing growth at the rate of
about 10000 per year. This rate has
been surpassed in Chicago and no
doubt this city now ranks fourth in
the world. 1t is a curious fact that
of the four cities of the world the pop
ulation in each of which exceeds 3
100000 two are in the United States,
the youngest in the list Of considera~
BILE nations. One might think it acct
dental in some way, but it is also true
that the United States are the only one
Of the worlds nations that has more
than one city of more than 100000
population. The last census gave us
three and in equity should have given
us four, for the populous suburbs clus-
tered closely about Boston are as truly
Boston as the Back Bay and Beacon
street regions themselves. Within a
radius Of twenty-five miles around the
capitol on Beacon hill there must be
considerably more than 100000. The
development of street railway lines
has checked the congestion or rather
spread it over wider space for each
city, and that, together with the good
roads movement, will tend to send a
return flow from the urban into the
rural regions, but it will remain that
urban growth will attend industrial
activity and the grave and abiding
problem will continue to be how to
keep it as nearly healthful as possible.

A KICKER SQUELCHED.

A Member of the Club Called for a
Glass Eye and Got 1t.
Everyone knows by experience the
man who is satisfied with nothing, who
eternally kicks at anything and every
thing. Such one was recently elected
to a club in a nearby city, and he Gel
ebrated his entrance by wholesale
complaint about everything connected
with that particular club. He was es-
necially emphatic concerning the pauc-
itv of the clubs supplies and said he
never could find anything there that he
wanted, and finally he enlarged upon
the yillainous nature of the service.
Inst there was where he made his mis-
take. He might have abused the gov
erning committee or taken fall out of
the house committee or the restaurant,
but the servitors were the pride Of the
members, and they could not stand for
abuse Of them.
In the group with the kicker was a
man with one eye, and he rang the
bell. Eddie" said he to the answer
ing hall boy, this eye l have in doesn't
fit. 1 wish you would go to the office
and see If they've one there to take

Eddie was born and brought up in
New York and the hruising life Of the
metropolis had rubbed the corners
from Eddie until he was fairly smooth.
Consequently he caught on and depart
ed He went straight to the members
locker, where he knew that supply of
eyes was kept against accidents. Pick
ing out one, he returned with it In his

They May Learn Wisdom.

Regarding the usefulness of inven-
tons, examiners in the Patent Office
have learned by experience that it is
mistake to jump at conclusions. A
contrivance at which they were in
clined to poke a good deal of fun, de-
signed to brighten wolves on Western
prairies, was patented only few
months ago, and already it has come
into considerable use in the sheep
growing districts of that part of the
country. The device is an automatic
gun, which goes off at regular inter
walls soaring the wolves away from the
focks. 1t consists of sort of box,
which contains a clockwork arrange
ment, with small steel barrel, pro-
jected from one end. A magazine, also
within the box, is loaded with blank
cartridges, one of which is fired by
the clockwork once in ten minutes or
so. By the help of a simple mechani-
cal attachment the intervals between
discharges are made as long or as
short as may be desired. It may be
that the wolf will learn the deception
after a while, and realize that the au-
tomato gun has not man behind it.

CAPT. S1ODDtR. Boston IN 1858, ana
entered the navy from the merchant
marine at an early age, and was in the
gunnery school then established in
Brooklyn, when in Janury, 1862, a call
was made for volunteers to work the
guns of the ''cheesebox on raft" then
in an unfinished state at Greenpoint.
John Ericsson's "new-fangled con-
cern," as some Of them styled it, was
the laughing stock of all the naval wits
who had seen or heard of it, and the
prospective gunners were warned that
they were taking their lives in their
hands when they volunteered. But men
were found, and the vessel was con-
structed at a rate of progress probably
unprecedented. Within 100 days from
the laying of the keel the Monitor was
launched with machinery complete,
and within $50 days she had won the
victory over the Merrimac, which revo-
lutionized naval architecture.
The Monitor was commenced in Oc-
tober, 1861, and was launched Janu-
airy 80, 1862 Mr.. Stodder was present
on both occasions, and as he remained
with his vessel until she foundered off
Cape Hatteras the last day Of Deem
Der. 1862, it will be seen that he stood
by her during her entire existence.

Speaking of the disturbance the Rus
sian students are making, the Pail
Mall Gazette remarks: after all, it is
the younger generation knocking at
the door, and if the door is not opened
it stands good chance of being
kicked in" The Russian police in
other words, are wrestling with the
incorrigible. No doubt the police
would sooner deal with Anarchists or
Nihilists, whose heads they could bat
ter and whose lives they could shorten
without exciting the animosity Of any
one except the professional King-kill-
er; but the gentlemen at st. Peters
burg say to the police: go ahead! Put
down that rebellionw and the police
must either obey or resign. The sever
1ty of their task may be understood
by imagining the police of Cambridge
and of New Haven trying to suppress
the Indignation of the students at Yale
and Harvard-and at Radcliffe, in adj
dition. For we read that the young
women of the Russian universities are
as eager for reform as are the young
men, and that they suffer just as much
in their eagerness. Now it is an ex-
traordinarily serious thing for any
government to be openly at war with
its young men and young women
with the younger generation. In
spirit of fun or in a moment of reck-
less enthusiasm our own college stu
dents may lightly mock some munich
pal ordinance; but as for defying the
police, and through them the officials
of the government, and as for being
logged into submission and bundled
into Jail by the score-thats a matter
of darker hue. 1t seems that all those
who represent Russian youth in the
arts and the sciences are in a state Of
sedition. We fancy that Nicholas and
his coadjutors are not giving all their
attention to the Manchurian question.
The younger generation is inflamma-
bic, and Russia is foolish to be indif-
ferent to that fact

KING CHRISTIAN.
HFather-in-Law of the Emperor" Is
Past 81 Years Old.


Past 81 Years Old.
The S4th birthday of the King of
Denmark was celebrated recently and
as usual the people gave evidence of
their high regard for him in no unmiS-
taxable manner. The King is modest
and easy of access and walks about
the streets Of Copenhagen like any of
his subjects, who salute him in most
democratic fashion. The people have
a regard for him which amounts al
most to affection, and this is the more
remarka bic when one remembers that
during thirty years they have been
lighting against the constitution which
makes his sovereignty possible. This
high esteem fer their ruler is due in
large part to his purity of life, as well
as to his simplicity of manner and an
absence of court extravaganza.
When Christian IX. was proclaimed
King in 1868, the people cried Down
with the Kingw When he attempted
to drive in his carriage from the Chris
tianborg to the Amalianborg the mob
became violent and revolution was
imminent. The King remained shut
up in his palace until the storm blew
over, and then the people gradually
came to learn something about the per-
sonality of the King, which repressed
much of their ill-feeling. His reign
has not been prosperous one for his
