BUSINESS WOMEN AND CHURCH

They Are as Lax as the Average Busi-
 ness Men in Sabbath observances.
 A great many people are exercised in these days over male non-attendance at church. but it has not occurred to any clergyman to attack the business woman regarding this special sin of omission or to devise ways of turing her !nto> the sanctuary on the day of rest. Yet the fact is that the average business woman Is no more inclined to go to church than the average business man. Perhaps she is even less so, for, she generally gets more tired than he, and she has ways of spending her time on Sunday from which he fortu- nately is excluded. ...5
 "As far as can judge from experience and observat' 'on," said one business woman. business women do not go to church This is not from any lack of love and reverence for the church, but themselves. It requires too much nervous energy and strength to dress and then sit through two or three hours service. and the woman who works hard all week wants one day in seven upon which the thoughts of ris- ing will not hang heavy upon her heart when she awakens; when she can have her breakfast in bed provided she is willing to squander the quarter, look leisurely over the newspapers, dawdle over her dressing and attend to the hundred and one odd things for which she can find no time during the week. She wants a day when she can wash her hair, sew on 8 button or two, put a stitch here and there, arrange her boxes and drawers, wash few hand kerchiefs, write friendly note or two, fall asleep in the afternoon over a book or magazine, and get little strength for the toll and money getting of the coming week.
 "If it is a fine day, the business wom- an may feel obliged to fill social obliga- tion, and she is generally rejoiced on this account when she can waken to the sound of falling rain. It is not that she likes her friends less, but that she loves her one day of freedom more, and Sl Nu5CS SNSlS IOuI tudL SuG fldS IO subtract from it's place and quietness.
 T have found and have also been told that the business woman receives more invitations than calls. People who have homes-or money--seem averse to calling on a woman who lives in a boarding house, and think they have done all that courtesy demands when they ask her to come and see them. And boarding houses truly enough, are dismal places to receive friends in. So the woman who has home says-little thinking what it means-'You come and see me,-and if the other woman wants to see her she must go. And if she goes it will probably have to be on Sunday.
 T have asked a good many business women about this, and they all say that they do not, as rule go to church on Sunday, and of course it is out of the question on any other day. If woman is Roman Catholic she probably goes to an early mass, while an Episcopalian may go to similar service which lasts less than an hour, once or twice 0 month, but otherwise they stay at home

on Sunday. I have found this to be true even of women who had been con- sidered church deyotees before they were obliged to become self-supporting, and don't think there would be any use in starting a crusade for the evan gelizatiOn of the businesswoman. Unless the weekly grind which makes the day of rest so desperately necessary to her can be mitigated, she will never go to church more than semi-OccasiOnally. However much she may regret the ne- eessity herself, it is impossible for her to do otherwise.''-New York Trib- une.

NOT FAR BEHIND,

The smart Europeans don't seem to be much behind the smart people of this country in adulterating food. We read that those in Europe who like fresh rooster combs are imposed upon by a substitute cut out of hogs intes- tines. Chopped artificial truffles are made of black rubber, silk or softened leather. and even whole trufT1es are made out of roasted potatoes, which are given peculiar flavor by adding ether. They are said to sell well. Fish spoiled in spite of ice and borax is treated with salts of zinc, aluminium and other metals. Rubbing the fish with vaseline to give it a fresh look and coloring the gills with fresh blood or eosin--a coal tar color-is resorted to. The latter is also used to intensity the red color of inferior crabs. Impart- ing greenish color to oysters is anoth- CT adulteration. An oyster requires about one month in the beds to acquire the greenish color. As this is too long a time the dealers help them along with an artificial color. The chemists in the Paris municipal laboratories have shown that tomato jelly is adulterated with turnips, and powdered pepper con- tains a large mixture of powdered hard tack.
 And so forth and so on. At the pres- ent rate of progress even the man who wants but little here below wont be able to get it unaduIterated. ,-

THE IYoRID,s SHIPPING.

The total number of the sea-going vessels of the world is set down as 29,S43, representing tonnage of 33,64S,- 131. Of these vessels, 17,761, or about three-dfths. are steamers having a ton- mage of 27,1S3,365; the rest, 12,1s2, are sailing vessels with tonnage of 6,459,- 766 As regards the distribution of the worlds shipping, it appears that 16,0O6,- 374 tons, or nearly one-half, sails under the flag Of Great Britain and her colo- nies. But of this sixteen million tons of shipping fourteen millions is steam and only about two millions sailing tonnage. Thus while the sailing tonnage of the rest of the world is more than double that os Great Britain and her colonies it's steam tonnage is less by over mill lion tons. In list of twenty nations, the shipping of the United States stands second with 3,611,953 tons; Germany comes next with 3,2S3,247; then Norway, with 1853, TAO, France with 1922, 2,O16, and Italy with 1,1S0,335.
 The place of the United States in this list does not give g. correct idea of it's share in the ocean-carrying trade. Nearly all of the British tonnage and most of that of Germany. Norway, France and Tta1v is e,,1o 1ad ;,, +bo eor eign trade, while only S73,ooO tons of our shipping is registered for foreign com merce and not all of this is actually en- gagged in it. Which is not encouraging.

BARELY ESCAPE \
DEATH BY FIRE
Mrs. Cereghino and Four
Children Imperiled
by Flames.
Neighbors Perform Work of
Rescue From Court in
Rear Of House.

Mrs. Jennie Cereghino and her three
children had a narrow escape from
death in flames that broke out early
last evening in a building at ST.
Charles place, blind alley off Kearny
street, near Pacific. The fire gained
such rapid headway before an alarm
could be sent in that it was with diff
ficulty that the members Of the family
were rescued.
The elder son of the woman crashed
through a burning floor and was slight
ly burned in an effort to save his
younger brother he supposed was still
in the burning building.
The premises in which the fire started
is rookery occupied by Louis
Cereghino; his mother, Mrs. Jennie
Cereghino, two brothers and two sis
ters. The latter are IA and 10 years Of
age and the boys are IS and 4 years old.
Cereghino is engaged in the manufac-
ture of shoe blacking, and the flames
started around a range of which the
material containing much combustible
matter is boiled.
The mother and the three younger
children were in a room on the second
floor when the fire broke out, cutting
off their escape from the street. They
rushed to door that opens into a small
court in the rear and from which a
stairway runs down to the first floor.
The blaze was then coming out of the
lower windows and the shaft was filed
with smoke and heat The woman,
with the baby in her arms, and the two
girls clinging to her, shouted for help,
and neighbOrs rushed from adjoining
houses to her assistance. AS they were
half carried down the burning stairway
their hair and hands were badly burned.
Louis was in the street when the fire
started and. not realizing the peril of
those inside, first rushed to Kearny
and Pacific streets to turn in an alarm.
When he returned some one told him
that his baby brother had not yet been
taken out and he rushed blindly into
the burning structure to save him.
When Cereghino entered the front
room, the floor, eaten by the fire, gave
way under his feet and he was dragged
out by two men who had followed him
in. His clothing and hands were
burned. The property loss will amount
to about $4,000.

THREE-INCH GUN
IN HIGH ESTEEM
Ordnance Board Favors
Adoption Of Rapid
Fire Weapon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-The Board
Of Ordnance and Fortifcations saws
that the results of tests made with the
S-inch rapid fire gun recommended by
the board for adoption for the army
show that when equipped with. these
guns and carriages the field artillery
of our army will have a weapon equal
If not superior to that of any nation. 3"
Relative to the tests conducted in
Pensacola harbor the report says they
have resulted in the adoption of a sys-
tenn of fire control and direction for
coast artillery which, when installed
with such notifications as experience
may suggest, as a part Of the coast
defense will render it more than ever
effective
The sum of $780, 900 is estimated as
the amount needed to carry on the
work of the board during the next fiscal
year. The board renews former recon-
mendations that appropriations by
Congress should be sufficient to pro
vide a reserve supply of ammunition
Of at least 100 rounds for each large
caliber gun and mortar and at least
$50 rounds for each rapid fire gun as
soon as mounted. saying ''as without
an adequate supply of ammunition it
is needless to say that the armament
of the coast defense is useless"
An ample allowance of ammunition
for annual target practice and the con-
tinuance of the present allowance for
sub-caliber and machine gun practice
is recommended. Further it is recon-
mended tit all target practice, except
sub -caliber, should be with full service
charges of smokeless powder, 1T being
stated that the present allowance of
ammunition has not been sufficient to
test the guns thoroughly after their
installation. The board renews its rec
ommendation that provision be made
for carrying out each year a system
of practical drill and target practice
with heavy guns under conditions an
proximating those of actual service.
The report says three ranges should be
provided-one for the North Atlantic.
one for the South Atlantic and Gulf
and one for the Pacific Coast Finally
the board says not less than 81 .OOO. 900
should be appropriated annually for the
next several years for the installation
of proper fire control system at each
coast artillery fort. the board stating
that 1t is not aware of any object for
which sum can be expended more ef
fectively or from which greater benefit
will be derived.
