FOR THE sTENOGRAPHER.

A young woman stenographer, whose
business experience has not robbed
her of her domestic inclinations. makes
a good use of the spools on which her
typewriter ribbons are wound. She
washes them we'll to remove any sus-
picion of ink, and uses them to wind
baby ribbons, pieces of lace and other
odds and ends on. The spools are
very we'll made, and fill their extra
role very well, indeed.

WOMAN IN THE FIELD.

When the convention of factory in
spectors opened in Detroit, Mich, it
was treated to an immediate sensation
in the paper of w. L. Bodine, of Chi
cago. He is superintendent of compul-
sorry education in that city and the title
of his paper was "The Competitive
Life" The competition he had espe-
cially in mind seemed to be that be-
tween men and women, and he pro-
duced statistics to show the great in
crease in the number Of women and
children at work for pay and the man
ner in which this. displaces the work of
men, says the Hartford Times. He
passed on to startle his hearers with
the assertion that woman is destined
to be the ruling sex in industrialism.
More specifically he declared that man,
like the Indian, is dying out and being
driven out, that the birth rate among
the women workers is increasing and
the death rate decreasing, while the
reverse is true of male workers, and
that tNbefore long imam will be back
number and be forced to the soil and
those fields of labor where only his
physical endurance will save him in
the struggle for survival" There was
more about competition in the leader
ship of society and such like, but this
1t is hardly necessary. to consider.
The other matter may not be quite
go bad as Mr.. Bodine imagines. For
instance, it may be better for man
to work in the fields or the shop than to
gather figures to show how much he is
injured by women who prove that they
are able to do well some other things
which men have been accustomed to
do. If the women can do the work
which makes less physical demand,
and if they wish to. do it, where does
the injustice come in? If the men
who are likely to be displaced do not
like it it is open to Slem TO fight for
their places as they would against
other men, but it is not dignifed to
whine about being driven out by
women. 1t would not be possible for
this to happen unless the women We're
really dangerous rivals, and they could
not be this in the long run unless they
did the work efficiently and could be
depended ON to accomplish it day by
day and week by week.
There are those who believe women
should not take up anything that has
been mems work, no matter how well
they can do it. They rely on belief
that 1t is unworthy Of women to work
for wages, but admirable for them to
work twice as hard and with half the
independence in caring for q family
and keeping house for husband.
Against that contention there is no
reasoning. 1t does not rest on reason
in the first place, but on tradition and
feeling and almost if not quite on dog
ma, for the continued practice of many
generations and the views which have
grown up and been transmitted with
1t, and in part by reason of'it are held
by the unthinking as somehow involved
In the order Of nature. True enough,
Saint Paul said: "Let the women
learn in silence with all subjection,"
and "But l suffer not a woman to
teaeh," but it was he also who said:
"Prove all things; hold fast to that
which is good" And he is not the
only man who has been in two minds
about woman.

WHEN PAIRING PEACHES.

Before pairing peaches dip them a
minute or two in boiling water This
loosens the skin so it will slip off
easily. You will be surprised TO know
how much time is saved in pairing, how
smooth the peaches will look and how
many more cans you will have from
the number of peaches than if pared
in the old wasteful way.

Modification OF the High Back"

Many hats appear to be trimmed
much higher at the back than they
really are, owing to their forward in
clination.
1t must not be imagined that because
certain style of wearing hats has
been adopted, anything like sameness
is to be apprehended. For one thing,
great diversity is to be noted in the
shapes of crowns, and the importance
of the crown is manifest under exist
ing circumstances. 1t is placed full in
view, owing to the forward slant of

BAKING LAYER CAKE.

When baking layer cake, instead of
putting thin paper in the tins and
tearing the cakes in getting it Off, or
using knife and breaking the cakes
in getting them out, try turning them
upside down on a buttered sheet of
paper with a damp cloth laid over the
hot tins. The cakes will come out
whole without the least trouble.-The

they bring sixteen cents per pound; her

French woman's success in matters of
dress that her attire is individual, and

Of this egg-laying breed, and some Of
them fall far below the standard. 1t
is interesting to note the formation of
the real egg-producer, and the Illus
tration, which has been drawn from a
photograph Of prize egg-producer,
will show this formation very clearly,
as compared with the average hen Of
this or any other breed.
The egg-producer has a long back.
which Is easily noted when she Is seen
with ordinary fowls. The breast is

the body behind. In one word, the
carcass may be called plump. The
comb and wattles are fiery red, the
eyes bright and the bird has an alert

nent in other individuals not SO good
