Atlanta Constitution.
Recently the Chicago Tribune col
'ected some startling facts and figures
in proof of the oft-heard complaint
that women are deserting the home
for business occupations at a rate
which threatens, if not the very foun-
cations of society, the job of the ers.-
while lord of creation. The learred
sociologists have taken fresh grip on
the question, and the consensus OF
opinion seems to be that if, happily,
race suicide does not result, mele man
will haye to stay at home with the
babies and wrestle with the dish rag
and clothes-ringer.
The New York Sun takes an exceed
ingiy pessimlstic view Of the Chicago
Tribuns's findings and asks in dssra air
what is to become of the men: "Will
man become obsolete?"
In Chicago Sc women are butchers,
1,444 sre laborers, 1873 are iron and
steel workers, l29 are saloon keepers,
548 are physicians aud surgeons, and
ATS are harbers aud hairiressers. In
the list cf book-keepers and account
ants there is one woman 70 every two
men. OF stenographers and typewrit-
ers, only 1862 men are left to the S.113
womea who have invaded the fed and
carried it off in their notebooks. As
beok-bindezs there are 1.6l2 women
and only 1858 men. The paper-box
makers number l,046 women, as
against 3l1 men. and as teachers in
schools and colleges thero are 1890
women to only ,591 men.
But maybe the weaker Sax are only
changing pisces with the men. The
New York Times shows that in that

DANGERS or uNWAsHED FRUIT.
Millions Of Disease Germs Cluster
on small Bunohss.

New:York Press.
On that bunch of cherries you buy
from the italian ON the street corner
and eat with so much relish are clus-
tered four or five milllons OF dangerous
disease germs. Exceedingly minute
they are, and the flavor Of the fruit is
in no way impaired by their presence,
but there they ara ali tho same-mi-
crococci, Ibaeilli, sprilla-whole fami-
lies Of them.
When We eat an unwashed pear
about 200, GOO bacteria are carried into
the system, twice that number on
handful Of garden strawbsrriss, and
still moro on raspberries, grapes and
currants. The most infested fruits are
cherries, with Il, ,O00, 600 bacteria to the
half pound currants with 11,OOO, 600
and grapes With 10000
A man will readily consume a ha;f
pound of grapes at a sitting, and it the
state of bis his health leaves him open
to the attacks of disease, it can be
appreciated what tremendous risk be
runs of poisonous infection by the
germs.
Not many weeks ago inquiry was
made into the state of the surface cir
+ in this city. The air Tor several feet
above the ground was found to be liter
ally swarming with bacteria. Now II
is a matter of everyday observation
that the fruits exposed for sale on the
sidewalks and curbs OF New York are
placed at no great distance from the
pavement. In many Instances they
are 80 near the ground as to be in the
very center of the germ. bearing etrata
of air. The inference is obviovs. Ye.
in spite of these facts, not one in s
hundred who hastily buys an apple or
banana on the corner gives the mat
ter of bacteria the slightest thought,
and not one in a thousand goes the
length of taking the sanitary precau-
ttlon of waehing the fruit.
