there is unfair discrimination against
them in the matter of remuneration.
They work as many hours as men, and
they do their work as we'll, they at

than men in the same berths? Why, in

this why is very squarely met by little

responsible, as steady. as certain to rem
der smooth, equable and efficient serv-
ice as men are, they would not long have
SO much for complaint.
Women cannot free themselves from
limitations that are in a measure the
hampering conditions of their physical
life. They cannot have, or at least they
do not often have, the immunity from
nerves and headaches and backaches
that men enjoy
Their dress is against them. The cor
set, that need not be an unhygienic part
of dress, alas! too often squeezes in a
girls waist and diminishes her breath
ing capacity. A silly notion that high
heels and pointed toes belong to an ele-
CANT feminine shoe, leads too many of
our girls to endure agonizing tortures
when standing for hours on their poor
deformed feet. They sacrifice health and
comfort to false ideal; and in our
stormy winters, a multitude of women
workers are not warm enough, nor ade-
quately protected by useful wraps from
wild wind and frigid weather.
Hence, their days off are taken into
account. They cannot be treated pre-
cisely as men are. Sex and Nature are
against it, and theories go down before
natural law. st
And it is in the order of Nature, too,
that the sweetest girls, the most win
ming, the most capable, shall be sought
in marriage. While there are thou
sands and tens of thousands to be fed,
the stress of the labor market will con-
tinue to force women into the ranks that
toll Strenuous commercial competi-
tion has forced young girls into fac
tories and mills and Offices and shops
It become general that the wages Of a
girl are as the wages of man When
they are, 1t is because in a particular
girl, a marked and peculiar faculty, facil-
ity of high order, and a rare fidelity
have been discovered.
Nevertheless, I, for one, rejoice when
hear that in one small borough six
young women teachers are at the same
time engaged to be married. and that in
q larger one, 16 young men have court
ed as many girls and persuaded them to
name the happy day. For home and not
business, is Woman's S true sphere.

One reason why the labor Of young
women is discounted in the market is
that their tenure of position is very
uncertain. For example, in q we'll
known township of New Jersey it has
recently been stated that is OF the teach
ers, all presumably young and attract
i've girls, are engaged to be married, and
the school board must therefore look
about to supply the vacancies thus Gre

Nobody can fail to rejoice that mar
riage is popular in the community, and
it is sign of wholesome public morals
aud of growing prosperity, when young
men WOO young maidens, and new house
holds are established. But the embar-
rassment and responsibility Of school
boards are doubled, when they must be
always on the lookout for those who are
to take the places of the marrying con-
tingent.

5ulated itself on having in its employ
ment young woman of very marked
ability, an ability that was almost
genius, and of a trained technical
knowledge surprising that of most men
in the niche she occupied, that Of buy
ing goods of certain kind. In Europe
or America this girl was valuable to
them, and they raised her salary over
and over. But one day she handed in
her resignation. She was engaged to
man in Arizona, and he carried her of,
as was perfectly right, the only shadow
being that after the firm had given their
late employe a beautiful wedding pres
ent they found themselves compelled to
hire two men to do what one woman
had done.
Business ability is not confined to one
sex But man is very apt to remain in a
good place, and when married, he is not
removed from the sphere Of daily labor,
but has every added incentive to work

pendent upon him.

It certainly looks like most reason
able proposition that if man is going
to plow field, harrow it, plant it, cul-
tvate it four or more times he should
at least be dead sure that his seed corn
is good and will every kernel grow, for
it is not with corn as with the small
grains, which, if the seed be poor, will
still be often thick enough by the stool
ing Of such plants as do grow, whereas
with corn If the seed fails there is
no way for nature to make good the
loss. So small an amount of corn Is
required to plant an acre that every
effort to select and plant only the very
best is justified.

In some few communities the farm

say that in such cases there has been
marked Improvement in the cOndi-

how a man owning good farm can

In financial way, as the fine highway
adds good dollars to every acre Of land

DETECTIVE STORY NOT ART
The Mystery Of It Once Learned No

Second Time.

know Of one good reason, and one
only, which really prevents detective
stories standing among the noblest
forms Of art, says the London News.
Most of the objections raised against
them by the vague-minded world OF
modern culture (probably the most
vague-minded world that has ever ex-
isted) are quite narrow and childish.
To say that the detective tale is SEN
sational is simply to say that it is full
of feeling or is aesthetic. Aesthetic is
the Greek for sensational. Sensational
is the Latin for aesthetic.
To say that the thrill which It gives
is connected with bald and positive sin,
with bald and positive death and not
with any of the fne-spun drawing
room emotions which it is now the
fashion to consider deep 10 TO pay it
a high compliment.
The Bible Is concerned with these
great plain sins and judgments; SO are
the great Greek dramas; 80 are the
tragedies of the Elizabethans; so are
the old ballads. And so are all men
anywhere who live lives sufficiently
real to have ever seen the great plain
sins and judgments.
There is one good argument, as
have said, and one only. against the
police mystery. And that is that po-
lice mysteries exist to destroy mystery
when they have created it. A sad tale
should be saddest when we finish it.
A happy tale should be happiest when
we finish it. A stirring tale should be
most stirring at the end; fantastic
tale most fantastic at the end.
But this kind Of mysterious tale IL
not most mysterious at the end. 1t is
then least mysterious, or rather not
mysterious 1T all. Instead Of making
q commonplace thing mystical (the
aim of all good art) the detective re-
verses the process and makes a mys-5
tical thing commonplace.
And from this comes that one fatal
weakness in the sensational novel of
crime and detection. the one thing that
does separate 1t, am afraid, from
great fiction, the fact that there is no
impulse to read 1t again.
A detective tale we have read is an
empty bottle Of wine, an exploded
shell, thing destroyed. The mystery
of the sanity of Hamlet Is alive and
kicking still.

THE JOLLY HoUsEWREcKER
Is a Very Systematic worker, Al
though He Appears to Be Ex-
tremely Reckless.

The housewrecker may seem to be a
very reckless sort Of individual, but
really there is much method in his mad
ness. He may seem to be ripping and
smashing and tearing things up the back
and generally regardless. but actually
he never breaks anything that can be
disposed Of more probably whole.
though as to everything else he is al
ways most economical of time and labor,
says the New York Sun.
So, when he is about to tear down 9
building, he puts up on the front of it q
covered wooden chute with its open
mouth at the top on a level with the
floor of the top story, and its spoutlike
opening at the bottom high enough
above the ground to allow a wagon to
be driven under it; and as he tears down
the walls Of that upper story he losses
the bricks from IL into the mouth Of
the chute to go slam-banging gayly
down 1t and be shot out at the spout
straight into the wagon ready to be car
ried away, all without any intermediate
handling. @
AS he tears away story after story Of
the structure the housewreckery short
ems the chute, to bring its wide receptive
mouth down to the level Of the door on
which he is working; and so he contin-
ues down until he comes, in the case, for
instance, of high stoop dwelling In
process of demolition. to the parlor
floor.
From such floor the chute would
no longer carry the bricks down by.
gravity, and here he adopts other meth
DDS. From the Sill Of one Of the parlor
windows he builds out over the sidewalk
to the street q platform on which wheel
barrows can be wheeled. and this takes
the place Of the chute. When It comes
to the cellar, why, there it's different:
from there more or less stun must be
picked up and carried; but the house
wrecker never picks up and carries any
thing that he can drop.
