Women Work Z" just as II women had
not been doing the worlds work since
creation. The first suggestion of labor
in all history is In the securing OF the
apple eaten by Adam and Eve, and 1t
was Eve who picked that. The ex-
ample then set has been pretty well
followed ever since. The Ewes are the
apple pickers yet. 1t is true few
women play the role of idle butterflies
but what OF III These are the ex-
eeptIons that mark the rule. The great
majority OF women toll increasingly
and with little direct reward. Man
at the end of his days work can count
up the money he has made and meas
ure the result. Woman's days work
has no end and no tangible profits. Her
only payment as she goes weary hand
ed and empty handed to rest Is In the
dissatisfaction Of having done well
a little more of her unending labor OF
love. There is nothing more pathetic,
were II not so common. than the sight
so often seen-of the Woodworking,
conscientious mother who literally
wears out her life In unhePalded toll,
thankless and not expecting thanks
She has no "eight-hour day Even a
twelve-horr day would be boon to
most wives who in the care of the
house and children are always doing
overtime" without thought OF extra
pay. Among the savages the women
do all the work. their lords employing
themselves only In the chase and In
war. The progress of civilization has
consisted largely IN getting man to do
something for living. and this prog
ress has come through mothers train
ing of the sons to share part of their
burdens Man has devoted much in

that render more easy the various de-
partments of production that have be-
come fixed upon man. But woman's
work still remains and must ever re-
main much the same endless round of
labor by hand and brain. No machine

HOW TO PRONOUNCE THEM.

Names of Cities that Are Varionsiy

The suggestion has been made that
the proper pronunciation of the name
st. Louis should be finally determined
before the opening of the Louisiana
purchase fair In that city. and II is
urged the council of st. Louis or even
the Legislature Of Missouri should
pass upon the question II is pointed
out that an immemorial dispute over
the proper pronunciation of Arkansas
was settled by the Legislature of that
State In 1881, when II was enacted
that the pronunciation should be Ar

bestowed by the French when the
place was settled, and the French pro-
nuneiatlon is Loo-ee, 10 rhyme with
the name of Admiral Dewey. The En-
glish pronunciation Is 'LewIss," prac-
tieally rhyming with the word Jew.
esS The suggestion. once made does
not. of course, halt lamely at st. Louis.
When the dispute Is settled there ii
is proposed to ask Kentucky 10 declare
whether the name of that Common
wealth's chief city shall be Loo-ey.
vile or Lew-is-yille. And Illinois
might settle the point whether the
name of the thriving city of Joliet
shall be pronounced as the French ex-
plorer after whom II was named did
Zhole-ya-or whether II shall be called
Jolly-yet. All this Is exceedingly slim

An envelope has been designed that
mail thieves cannot tamper with I'M
detected. There are two ways In which
ordinary envelopes may be opened-one
by forcing the flap open with a thin
metal blade. and the other by steam
ing the envelope until the mucilage no
longer holds the flap. In either case
IL Is difficult for even the person to
whom the letter is addressed to ascer-
tain whether the envelope has been
opened unless something has been ex-
tracted. The improved envelope diff
fers from the ordinary kind only in
having sheet of tissue paper attached
to the flap and extending down inside
the pocket. This sheet attaches itself
to the surface Of the envelope with the
sealing of the letter, and 1t Is obvious
that any attempt to force the flap
would tear the tissue, In spite Of the
utmost caution, the torn tissue being
plainly seen when the envelope was
opened In the proper way. TO detect
any subsection to the steaming process
the tissue is secured to the flap by n
colored mucilage. which liquiies in

ence of the hot steam, daubing the in
ner and outer surface Of the letter until
It plainly indicates the use of improper
methods to ascertain the contents.

A student of the Chinese in New

Chinese sues an American he must
perforce take the case into the regular
civil courts, but that when one Chi
nese sues another the general public
hears nothing of the litigation 1t is
settled by Chinatowns own mayor,
who, although he has no legal means
OF enforcing his judgments. is so back
ed up by Chinese public sentiment that
any man who fails TO abide by his de-
cision is ostracized. This seems an
odd situation in an American city, but
It is. after all, but an application Of

A memorial bell is to hang in the
belfry of the Congregational Church
in Harpswell, Me-, where the late Rev.
Elijah Kellogg ministered for half a
century. The young people who read
his stories or declaim his "Spartacus"
have their own way of remembering
him. Those who heard his striking
sermons or profited by his helpful pas
torate will welcome the sound of the
bella call to prayer and praise
whether the tones reach the natural
ear, or only charm the inner sense
born Of the imagination. The sea and
shore lines of his parish, the lovely
environment of typical pastorate, did
not limit his ministry; and the bell
which is to send forth its message of
bidding and benediction from its home
on Casco Bay will have Its mission for
jewellers in far distant parts of the
country.
