men. In one of the greatest financial institutions Of this
city not long ago a well known man, drawing a salary OF
$25, 600 a year, suffered a nervous collapse. The directors
selected as his successor the young woman who had been
the stenographer for ten years. She, the directors told
me, has done better work than the man she succeeded
and is doing it for but $4,000 a year.
In fifty years the women will know more than the
men. They have more time to read and study and they
are improving their time. Eventually they will vote and
tell the men for whom they shall vote. Eventually all the
universities will be co-educational, and the women will
carry off all the prizes.

ROSY FUTURE OF WOMEN.

If you don't want women to outstrip

Twenty years ago the mill-owners
were asking people to come and haul
the sawdust away from their establish
ments, glad enough if they could get
rid of it for nothing. This fall over on
the Penobscot, those who wish for saw
dust must buy it at 81 a cord, and must
wait in line for hours in order to get a
chance to load their carts. Still, it must
be conceded that sawdust of any kind
has a fuel value of at least 81 cord. 1t
is rich in carbon for the making of heat.
Those who do not care to buy sawdust
for bedding still have the privilege of
drying swamp muck or of collecting
autumn leaves. Experience with saw
dust on the farm shows that it has no
value as fertilizer. 1t requires long
time to rot, and when it is finally avail
able, there are but two per cent of ash
in the result. Then again, close contact
with sawdust causes potatoes to grow
scabby.
