forces from the limits Of her wide

her glad servant, man. to give them
hiding place. And In New York the
glad servant has no alternative save
to berth them where he may, for ships
are many and berths are few, and
commerce brooks no waiting. From

Canning Peas
for Market.


The industry of putting up canned
goods is rapidly growing, and the pro-
cesses by which the different crops
are made ready for the market form an
interesting sight. 1t Is hardly possible
to conceive the rapidity with which
the work Is carried on and the i'm
portant part played by machinery.
Take. for instance, the canning of peas,
where the vines are cut in the field
by Il moving machine and loaded on
the wagons the same as Is done with
hay. Arriving at the sheds Of the fac
tory as wanted, they are placed on an
endless chain and carried overhead to
known as the "viner." In looks ii
resembles a large, old-fashioncd re-
volving squirrel cage, in which are
paddles. which beat the pods and al
low the peas to fall out through the
meshes of the cage, while the vines
and pods are carried by the endless
chain to the silo, some distance away.
AS some pieces Of vines and pods pass
through with the peas, they are run
Through a squirrel cage which. revolv-
ing. causes the peas to be separated
from the other substances, when they
pass out of it into trays.
Passing onward the peas are next
poured into machine reminding one
Of the old-time tanning mills seen in
farmers barns. Here they are further
cleaned before passing through into
lhc grader" which is another cylinder
tn which there are several sections
with differentiated meshes and the
peas roll along until they come to the
mesh, which permits them to fail
through. All the while they are in this
cage dropping water is washing them
and carrying out the dirt that may
Ne on them. Each size is now labeled
and kept separate.
The "blancher,' as 1t Is called. is
trough of boiling water, through which
Ahe trays of peas are carried on the

ing motion again cleans them, while
cold water Is continually dropping into
the cage and on them. Now they
pass out on to a belt about three feet
wide and slowly move along between
rows Of women, whose business 1t is to
pick out any bad peas or any other
foreign substance. Dropping from this
table into trays they are carried by
men to the filler. 1t Is the machine
which automatically fills the cans,
which are dropped down through tubes

to fill each can, at the rate Of seventy
to eighty cans a minute.
The movement is so well timed that
It's place is taken by an empty can
while it moves under the pipe through
which the hot liquid is automatically
measured and poured into 1t. The can
now swings on its course, going
through q brusher or wiper, where it
Is cleaned and any surplus on top
brushed off. Two boys now place caps
on the cans as they move along past
them to the soldering machine, with
which 1t combines the "acider" which
prepares it for taking the solder. After
they come out of there they are brand
ed with the quality of grade while
on the way to the "dotter," who sold
ers the little hole in the center of each
cap. The inspector then takes his
turn and If the cans are all right they
are soon at the end of their first jour

they are removed and put into large

had accused her of doing it with re-

! IN Sun Francisco harbor there lately
arrived the body Of an American who
bad died in japan. Tho man himself
weighed only 40 pounds. The case
containing the body weighed 2,4OO
pounds. It consisted Of i've cotfins

ton Those precautions represented
the point which Japan has reached In
sanitary scienca There Is nothing new
in saying that the island kingdom is
advancing rapidly because Of its re-
ceptive attitude toward Western learn
ing, but an incident like this brings
the matter home In an impressive way.
College faculties know the country boy
who enters with insufficient prepara-
! ton, but has accomplished such re-
suits as he could by sheer power of
will and force Of mind The progress
Of such a boy when he finally comes
under competent instructors is exhil-
arating. He advances by leaps until
almost before his class realizes It he Is
an Acknowledged leader. In the great
college OF tho nations, Japan is that
boy. 1t Is only short time in the
historical sense since the little king
dom was opened to the world. There
were great minds there before that,
but not learned in the Western
knowledge or Western methods; yet it
was Japanese physician who, in
1894, discovered the germ Of the bu-
bonic plague. and it was another Jap
anese physician who this year discov-
cred the germ Of dysentery. Army and
navy physicians in the East say the
Japanese quarantine regulations are
more exacting and more rigidly en-
forced than those Of any other nation.
In this rapid progress Of the japanese,
some measure Of credit reflects upon
the United States, for 1t is this country
to which, from the beginning, Japan
has gone to school.

Why Do Women Earn Wages ?

1t would seem superiluouS to ask
why women are wage earners. But
there is never a day that somewhere
in this broad land a preacher, a work
ingmnn, a statistician or college pro
fessor does not discourse on the wage
earning woman as though she were
a perverse creature, indulging her fling
at old-time conventions and, in conse
quence, upsetting things masculine in
q way that Is not only hard for the
individual man worker to bear, but
which is also subversive of funda-
mental props of the good old time.
Whose fault Is it that the woman
works7 II it be crime or a wrong.
she Is guiltess, for mans laws say
she must not take her own life, and
her only choice is between that or en-
gaging in gainful occupation. She
works because her father was or is
incompetent or drunkaru or I'M
thrifty, or what Is known as poor
business man, or because he married
when he should not have done so; or,
along with fellOwmen, he carried the
home Industries out of the home and
made them the activities Of great fac
tories. In the last analysis 1t will be
found that it is always man who is to
be blamed Qf any one should be cen
sureD for this latter-day entering Of
women into pursuits which Then have
labeled strictly masculine. For one
thing the fathers Of wage earners are
never concerned about whether or not
the particular business possibility Is
pre- eminently feminine, the only con-
siderntion with them being how it will
pay. The father will sympathize with
the mourning Of his own particular
craft over the inroads Of women, but
tho woes Of men stenOgraphers and
bookkeepers from the same source
draw from him not throb Of SYM

The persistency with which men

on their common sense. Since the

there is no difficulty in observing many
varieties Of her The majority Of
women wage earners give every indi-
cation Of being the victims Of adverse
circumstances, and only the craziest
Imagination could conceive that mil

beckon to holiday making; or that in
the bitter weather Of midwinter they
would brave the terrOrs Of blizzard

to the Philippines some time since to
teach in the schools there appear to be
no exception to the rule. The teachers
entered the service. it Is said, on the
understanding that they would remain
in it two years and on their leaving it
before the expiration of that time they
were prevented from obtaining any
other employment under the govern
ment. They justify their action by
saying that the Philippine commission
has not kept faith with them and that
on their entering complaints with the
proper officials they were told that if
they did not like the service they could
leave 1t. They expected that their sal.
aries would be paid in United States
currency but were compelled to accept
checks calling for payment in unrelia-
bic Mexican currency. They under.
stood also that they were to be allowed
TO make purchases at the commissary
stores at reduced prices. bur this priv.
ilege was denied them and they were
compelled to pay the ordinary market
