WOmau's Best Profession.

In the last year more than a hun
dred young women have deserted ca
reers on the stage for careers in the
home. This week two young women
OF this city have announced their de-
termination to quit the foOtlights for
matrimony. They are successful in
their roles They have had the APP
plause of appreciatlve audiences show
cred upon them. They know we'll the
glitter and attraction Of the stage and
to woman, with her natural love for
admiration, the attraction Of the stage
Is great. Yet they are putting the
applause and glitter of a theatrical ca
reer behind them for the quieter ca
reer of marriage.
Human nature gives wisdom to such
of Its people as will heed. The young
women who are giving up professional
life for matrimOny are wise beyond
the wisdom Of their sisters who preach
the active business life for woman
kind. Experience has taught them
early that matrimony is inevitably the
career for woman. The making of a
home is the work to which woman can
best turn her hand. She Is fitted for
this work. and she may or may not
he fitted for business or professional
career. In business or professional
life woman is always at a diSadvan-
tagt 1t is not her natural environ
ment. She is forced to come into di-
rect competition with man in his own
field Generations have trained him
for 1t, and he is much at home. Wom-
au is as vet newcomer in the fields
OF business, and she is not fitted to
compete successfully with the strong

level as man in this regard, but ut
present it Is matrimony that spells sue
cess for her A position as general
manageress of home is where she
is fully gifted to shine. There she

business and professional world take
upon himself most insignificant ap-
pearance. 1t is there that she may
win her most brilliant success. and
it is there that she will find herself
most satisfied with life. Matrmony is

HE DESTROYS SECRETS.
Queer Business of Man Who Reduces
Account Books to pulp.

Account Books to Pulp.
II have just paid few cents a
pound for old books and papers for
which some one in this town would
give thousands Of dollars" said a
downtown paper manufacturer a few
days ago to the New York Sun. and
he told the truth.
Of destroying confidential papers for
business houses, banks, brokers or any
one else who can furnish enough to
bother with.
The paper man pays for this valu-
able old paper only IA few cents Il
pound. That is all 1t is worth to him
for reduction into pulp. His rates are
a bit lower. perhaps. than those of the
junkman. but with his purchase he
gives a guaranty that nothing he buys
shall ever be read or examined.
A list of his customers which he
gives for reference Is pretty good proof
that he keeps his word and that the
secrets of the waste paper bags never
that the manufacturer has destroyed
books, papers, etc, for about twenty
banks, half as many insurance COM
panies, a dozen bankers and brokers,
several Of the big wholesale dry goods
firms and a large number of retailers
How do you destroy this valuable
paper and make sure that nobody gets
hold Of IT." the manufacturer was
asked.
ut isn't allowed to pass through
very many hands," was the answer,
land the men who do take care of IS
are ignorant Some OF them cannot
read, but they would not have a chance
to CLEAN much out OF our waste If they
could.
when we get an order from a firm
to destroy its books and papers we
send a man up with lot Of big bags.
The bindings are ripped Off the books.
their pages are torn apart and they
are stuffed into bags along with let.
ters and any other waste the firm may
have to offer.
The bags are sealed and put aboard
freight ear. Next day they arrive
at our factory in Connecticut. and the
seals are not broken until the bags are
dropped beside a big vat filled with
strong chemicals.
The papers are dumped into this,
which reduces them to pulp. An
other process cleans the ink from the
plup, and then 1t goes into new paper.
You see, there isn't very much chance
for any one to get hold Of any informa-
ton set down on our waste paper, and
I'm dead sure that our guarantee has
never been broken.
do we do big business in de-
stroying documents? Well, l should
say yes.

branch Of the paper business 1t was a
