WOMEN BooTBLAcKs.

Women in recent years have invaded
so many of the occupations which in the
past have been considered sacred to
men that it does not come as great
surprise to end a female bootblack in
the streets of London. The lady In
question is the wife of a well known
bootblack whose pitch" is in Euston
road, outside Euston station. At pres
ent she only acts as her husbands I'M
derstudy, but it is her ambition to run
an independent business. The specta-
Gle of ladies having their boots or shoes
cleaned in the streets is quite a common
one in London. and. not unnaturally.
the female shoeblack believes that there
is a distinct opening for her labors in
this direction.

school, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, had so
high a sense OF physical purity in her
person and in her home that at last she
declared she would cease to permit any
train wearing woman to cross her
threshold If one ever did so that one

most dangerous of all. Yet Mrs. Stan
ton herself occasionally wore royal vel
vet or satin trains. but never upon the
street and never away from home un-
less she rode in carriage to the place
where she was going.
Trains are graceful enough indoors If
one is willing to put up with the both
err, but they are only in place in a
house or In a carriage. In no spot are
they more of a nuisance and a menace
to the public health than In the church
or theater. Many an unfortunate has
caught pneumonia from the train OF
some woman's dress in church.
1t is time the clean, refined, sensible
women of our country took the matter
seriously in hand and put a stop to this
public nuisance. There are enough OF
them to do it. A skirt of instep length
may now be worn anywhere even by a
fashionable woman. One of the odd
features connected with the thing is
that the longest of the vile trains are
frequently made of very cheap material,
showing that 1t is the poor women VINO
sport them. Perhaps they think they
are showing off high style. Again. the
aesthetic sense is outraged by seeing
exquisite and costly fabrics used as
brooms to sweep the filthy streets
Worst of all, half the time these trains.

The lines of dry good hnmor about his

them.
Now it became necessary to put the
roads in shape for hauling. All winter
the blacksmith had occupied his time In
fitting the iron work on eight log
sleighs which the carpenter had hewed
from solid sticks of timber. they were
tremendous affairs. With runners six
feet apart and hunks nine feet In width
for the reception of logs.
The carpenter had also built Two i'm
mense tanks on runners. holding each
some seventy barrels of water and with
holes so arranged that on the with
drawal Of plugs the water would flood
the entire width of the road. The
sprinklers were filled by horse power

formidable machine weighed nearly
two tons and resembled moving
house. Other men had felled two big
hemlocks from which they had hewed
beams for a V plow.
The V plow was now put In action.
Six horses drew it down the road, each
pair superintendent by driver. The
machine was weighted down by a num-
Der of logs laid across the arms. Men
guided 1t by levers and by throwing
their weight against the fans of the
plow. 1t was gay, animated scene,
this, full of the spirit Of winter-the

To right and left grew white banks OF
snow. Behind stretched broad white
path in which a scant inch hid the bare
earth.
