Married women as wage-Earners.

The American prejudice against
wage earning by married women ap-
pears in the effort occasionally made
to make the employment of teachers
in the public schools terminate with
marriage. But thousands of Ameri-
can married women do earn wages,
thousands more would gladly do so if
they could, and other thousands would
be happier and better off If they did.
The prejudice against it seems disad-
vantageous. American men, as a rule,
prefer to support their wives, If they
can. If an American married woman
works for pay it is either because it
gives her pleasure or because her hus-
bands income is insufficient. She
does not do it as a matter of course.
How long she can keep it up depends
upon what the work is and upon other
circumstances. If she has children
that, of course, interferes with her
wage-earning if it does not stop it al
together, and general 2ptance of
the custom which would restrict or
discourage child Bearing is not to the
public advantage. Marriage tends,
and should tend, to withdraw women
from wage earning, but it need not
stop it per sc and abruptly. To make
marriage a bar to future wage-earn-
ing by a woman operates in restriction
of marriage and that is at least as
much against public policy as re-
striction as child bearing.-Harper s
Weekly.

considerable sum Of money. Schuter
had absolute confidence in his partner
and never thought to examine the
books. Schuter is now Of the opinion
that Lewis did not pay bills they
owed, but instead pocketed the money
Very little is known OF Lewis. He
first came to Mill Valley about three
years ago and succeeded In getting
employment at the Hotel Madrona.
Schuter liked him from the start and
a few months later took him into
partnership. Lewis had no money at
the time, but borrowed $500 and had
Schuter indorse his note. It is pre-
sumed that Lewis took the money last
Monday night. He was seen by the
head waiter at about o'clock leaning
over the safe. The room was dimly
lighted al the time, but nothing was
thought OF the incident. Tuesday
morning Lewis did not put in an ap-
pearance and Schuter became suspi-
cious. He opened the safe and dis
covered that all the money was gone.
The exact amount taken by Lewis
is not yet known. Schuter has an ex-
pert examining the books. but they
are badly tangled.

Cultivation Of Sponges.

An interesting investigation now be-
ing carried on in Florida by the bureau
of fisheries has for its object the dis
covery and development of methods by
which the valuable sheepswool sponge
may be cultivated artifcially.
The method which promises the most
satisfactory results is that of using
cuttings. Large sheepswool sponges
are cut into small pieces, which are
fastened to an insulated wire fixed in
the water, SO that the sponges are sup
ported a few inches above the bottom.
These small bits, placed at close in
tervals along the wire, soon heal and
form an organic attachment to it and
very soon begin to grow. 1t is too soon
to predict just what the results will be,
but the indications are so far very en-
couraging and it is believed that the
time is not far distant when the sponge
fisheries of Florida will be vastly in
creased in productiveness and value

SOME QUEER LAKES
EXIST IN THE WORLD
One of Pitch, Another Rose Colored,
Third Covered With
Salty ernst

One of the most singular lakes in the
world is the celebrated Pitch Lake of
the Island of Trinidad. This lake
spreads over an area of 80 acres, and
its surface is composed of one great
floating mass of asphaltum, scanned
with veins of clear water. From it and
a similar lake asphalt is drawn.
The Pitch Lake is a hideous place as
far as smells are concerned, for the
air all about it is heavy with noxious
vapors, and from the center of the lake
gushes a fountain of liquid asphaltum,
in which there float and break bubbles
containing most horrible gases.
The worl1men go out on the surface
of this lake and cut great slabs of as
phaltum, which are carried away. But
the next morning the hole they left
is filed up again with the pitch which
has risen during the night, so that the
supply seems ineXhaustible.
This curious lake was discovered by
Sir Walter Raleigh when he landed in
Trinidad in 1895, on his way to the
mouth of the Orinoco in search of Ell
Dorado.
Another strange lake is situated on
peninsula which iuts out into the Cas-
plan Sea. The whole surface of this
lake is covered with a crust Of salt
so thick and strong that a man can
ride across it on horseback with safety.
In Central Asia, near the Caspian
Sea, is a lake of beautiful rose color,
while the banks are covered with salt
crystals as white as snow. From the
waters of this lake there arises a flow
er-like odor. THE color and the odor
are supposed to be caused by the veg
etabIe matter in the depths.
There used to be a curious lake on
the top of the Volcano de Aqua, in
Guatemala, $4,000 feet above the level
of the sea. 1t was not fed by springs
nor by rivers, but was caused by the
accumulations of snow and rain-in
fact, was an immense reservoir. 1t
lasted for centuries. Then, one day,
the sides of the lake gave way, and
down the waters rolled, dealing death
and destruction and digging a great
barranca, or ravine, in the mountain
side, which is still visible.-Baltimore

to be given special low rates by the lead.
ing life insurance companies, according
TO the Tribune,
IA is well known, the insurance COM
panies never issue policies 20 immoderate
drinkers, where the circumstances are
known, but for many years numerous
authorities have contended that the aver
age span Of life was longer among per
sons who were not total abstainers, and
the underwriters have never taken a
decided stand in the matter.
Now, however, it IS stated that q num-
Der 0l aetuaries and medical directors
have been working on statistics running
over period Of several years, and from
the records OF a large number of life in
suranee companies, several OF the au-
thorities have come To the conclusion
that the total abstainers, as class,
hive longer by from twenty to fifty per-
cent. than the moderate drinkers as a
class.
There are a number OF details to work
out before the policies in contemplation
lure actually offered to the public. One
Of these is the danger that man who
is 4 total abstainer when he takes out
the policy IS likely 70 become a drinker
in the future
ii ii believed, however, that this
problem can be solved either by requir-
ing applicants to take the pledge and
providing that diolation Of it shall annul
the insurance policy; or by provision
THAT if the man should become drinker
the amount payable under the policy
should be reduced.
