THE WOMEN AS WORKERS
Some Figures That, After All. Are Not
Discouraging

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
statistician has gone to the troublo IN
ascertain that 55 per cent of all tho az
'Irceo women, y per cent of the widowed
ana 81 per cent of the single women arc
engaged in gainful pursuits. ONLY about
u per cent of the married women arc si,,i
larly situated. White the great body of
married women are at home ATTENDING to
the domestic duties which are naturally sat
down for them, there is some hone sill,
that the old order of things is not going
TO be completely Overthrown The worl,,
VIII not be without homes. The figures
iiioica'e that "a per cent of the married
men are supporting their wives though the
women are, of course. doing their full share
in maintaining domestic establishments
which are bulwarks of morals and good or
der and which keep the race from diving
out.
On surface analysis 1t may seem wonder
full that "a per cent OF the married men
ind enough to do to support families when
SO many women are in mems occupation:
but the earth is big, and the ordinary at
tempt at comprehending the things to be
done and the number of people to do them
Is puny indeed. In the long run there ap-
pears to be room for everybody-the home
woman, the new woman, the mannish
woman, the bachelor woman, etc. likewise
for the womanish man and the men who
depend on the labor and shrewdness of
their wives to keep them going. The mix
ture of the sexes in the active business af-
fairs today would have scared writer's on
political economy twenty-five years ago 1t
seems plain enough, for example, that when
a man on salary gets work for his daugh-
ter. III the same occupation, at, perhaps,
smaller compensation than he receives, he
Is sapping the foundation of his own en-
pIoyment and prosperity; that. in the long
run, will be simply dividing up his salary
among the members of his own family and
driving other men out of employment
The results of widespread changes of this
sort look, apparently, to an entire revolu-
tionizing of society. But some people are
not stopping to study the text books. They
are going ahead with the fashions of the
time, leaving the pessimists and those who
have nothing to do but study to read up
on political economy. A great many wise
books have been impracticabIe in relation
to business affairs If society is going
wrong in putting the gentler sex In the
lines of employment that were formerly
exclusively for men, the mistake will mani
fest itself some day in a serious way
Money panios result from overwrought am
bition to get rich quick. and then follows the
travail of liquidation. And SO 1t is with
other affairs.

is Loved by Soldiers.
From the London Telegraph.
An influential merchant named Kratz.
from Port Arthur. gives an excellent de-
scription of life IN the town. He declares
that all hearts beat at the bidding of Gen.
Stoessel and all realize that he is the one
strong man who alone can save the situa-
ton. Socially, however, he is not liked.
Gen. Stoessel is now getting slightly gray.
His tall. bulky form, clad in a brilliant gen.
erals uniform, is seen daily in the streets,
but when he is proceeding to the forts he
is dressed in simple gray, and is frequently
taken for private soldier. He is described
as the Russian Lord Kitchener" man of
few words, but strenuous worker. People
say that Gen. Stoessel never sleeps, for
when all the city is in darkness light
burns In his headquarters.
His administrative work finished, Gen.
Stoe ssel prOwls around the forts and makes
his bed in some trench or rampant Next
day, with Madame Stoessel a little figure

pital wards, speaking words of sympathy to
the inmates He insists that the officers
shall perform their duties strictly and the
clubs have been closed. He takes a promi-
nent place in the firing line, and when Off
GERS in charge of detached expeditions fail
to return he leads their men himself sue

Massage the Ears.
I'm the New York Tribune.

Women who will spend hours massaging
their faces nearly always neglect to in
clude their ears in this renovating process.
the consequences being that their ears lose
their color and freshness. The Importance
of massaeing the ear is urged by a leading

LAKE LEVEL AT HIGH POINT.
Big Vessels Able This Year to Carry
Larger Cargoes Than Usual.

From the Cleveland Leader.
The largest vessels of the great lakes
have been able this year to carry cargoes
from to 10 per cent larger than at any
time for the last ten years because the
water in the lakes has been considerable
above the mean level. The profits resulting
therefrom have accordingly been greater
1t has been variously estimated that the
water level is between one and two feet
higher than usual this year. Harbors and
rivers therefore, have been able to accom-
modate vessels of larger draft This. of
course, permitted the owners to load their
poats more heavily. and since the cost of
trips was only slightly increased. with a
greater tonnage, the profits have been COM
paratively larger for each trip
In accounting for the unusual amount of
water in the lakes this year, Major Dan C.
klngman, United States engineer for this
district, said:
THE frequent and heavy rainfalIs This
season In the district drained by the great
lakes partly account for the high-Water
leVel, but the comparatively small amount
OF evaporation, because of the continued
low temperature, has had a great deal to
do with 1T, too l do not know the exact
hgures, but the water is considerably high
er than the mean level"
One Of the boats of the Pittsbure Steam
ship Company last year carried I 400 tons
of ore on one of her trips and this wear the
same boat has carried 1900 tons. The diff
ference OF 5OO tons means a neat profit
and when it is considered that this com
pany owns and operates about $50 boats. It
may be seen that the rising of the lake
level has been big thing for that COM
pany. WIN
OF course. it will be remembered that tb,s
seasons shipping has been comparatively
light, but it would seem that it must have
been comparatively more profitable.
The change in the lake level has wrought
havoc with the game birds which NAE
thelr nests along the shores of the lake in
this Vicinity The nests have been ovar-
Whelmed by the high water and the young
pirds have been drowned Thus certain
kinds of game on the south shore ~ I .da

Carried by Scouts.

Scouts, both mounted ana on cycie, eicH
carry from four to six birds in bamboo
cage slung after the fashion of KNAPP
sack, and thus reports are sent back
without the necessity of their leaving
their post of observation. For great dis
tances two birds may be flown with the
same dispatch, but this is seldom requir-
ed. the usual custom being to repaat each
message on subsequent birds. so that the
final pigeon liberated would not only
carry it's own, but also copy of mes
sages sent by the birds first liberated.
II must be understood that the flight or
the pigeon would be seriously impeded
were it to be burdened with any great
weight and consequently dispatches are
written on specially prepared Slips or rice
naper These, contrary to the general i'm
nression are not tied round the bird
neck but are rolled and placed In ceiiu-
loid holder, fastened by two clips TO the
birds leg, and are thus carried close under
the tail Of the bird when it is in flight. The
total weight of this carrier, which is manu-
featured by Belgium firm, is under four
grams.
The speed of the pigeon is another point
which may be easily misunderstood. Al
though 1t Is true that under certain cir
cumstances a pigeon will fly 1900 yards a
minute, or nearly so miles an hour. YET
this is only accomplished under excep-
tionally favorable conditions; 1,4O0 yards
minute or 80 miles an hour. being fairer
average This. however. must not be taken
to mean that the pigeon normally flies the
distance between two places miles apart
in an hour. as owing to its not flying in an
absolutely straight line II would probably
take seyenty-five minutes to accomplish
the distance. For this reason 40 miles an
hour Is the speed usually credited TO the
birds. Distances I'D to 800 miles It would
cover at the same rate, but above that the
average would often be much lower, owing
to the birds not being able to fly after dark.
Whenever possible they are liberated at
hnsy no ana +, Hau IN Tn
their left upon the same day; the risk OF
capture and the dispatch falling into he
enemy's hands being then reduced to a
minimum.

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarh Of the Stomach Is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something
to Produce Artificial Diges-
tion Is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsln, Pancreatin and a Host
Of other Digestive Remedies
Have Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
Is Really Catairh.

Tx. u. s. Senator M. c. Butler from
u South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In a re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, ID. c., says:
"Ican recommend Peruna for dys.
pepsia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for q short
period and feel very much relieved.
tits indeed a wonderful medicine be-
sides good tonic. "---M. C. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspep.
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in a'natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh islocated
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna curesit. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, rs well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is.
generally dependent upon catarrh.

IN OPEN RUPTURE.
France and the Pope Clash-vatican's
Criticism Leads to Re-
call Of Envoy.

Paris, May 23.-France has broken
on diplomatic relations with the holy
see. M. Nisard, the French ambassador
to the vatican, was recalled and left
Rome Saturday evening. The immedi-
ate cause Of the rupture with the vat
lean is the protest recently addressed
to the Roman Catholic powers OF Eu-
rope over President Loubet's visit to the
king of Italy and his failure to visit the
pope. The protest was couched in such
indiscreet terms that the honor of the
French government could not permit It
to pass unnoticed. Ambassador Nisard
was instructed to press Cardinal Merry
del Val, the papal secretary Of state, for
an explanation. Either the explanation
was not forthcoming or 1t was not salts
factory. and M. Nisard was directed to
leave Rome.
Events appear to have been gradually
tending toward a rupture between
France and the vatican since Plus X
was elected pope. The French cardinals
and French governmental influence IA
vored Cardinal Rampolla for the papal
succession as likely to continue the con-,
ciliatory policy of Pope Leo. However,
the selection of Cardinal Sarto was APP
proved, as he was believed to share the
moderation of Rampolla. The first evil
dence OF friction was the withdrawal
from Paris of Papal Nuncio Lorenzelli
during King Victor Emmanuel's visit to
the French capital. Later, the pope, in
an allocution to the cardinals, severely
censured the French governments treat
ment of the religious orders. M. Nisard
promptly reported the pope's criticisms
and received instructions to submit
protest
