AS a result of Maj Peabody's labors

advice of the doggerelist who advised that we Let the women do the work Is being observed
 Behold, it is just now the evening hour The shops in the retail district are closing for the day. Notice the surging mass of shopgirls and women who work pressing homeward through the almost impenetrable army of men who never work, but who gather on the street cor ners every evening at this hour to ogle the working girls as they hurry home.
 There is a vast army of women in Birmingham who work for their daily bread. some of them supporting families with the fruit of their labors. Some 1f these women work for the mere love of the activity it gives them and the facina- tion of mngling with the worlds throngs, but the great majority of the women who toll are forced to do so by poverty.
 "I have a reverence for the woman who tolls and would fight for her under all conditions. 1 have no patience with the idlers who molest her on the street with stares and remarks that are disrespect- full, and often grossly insulting.
 "The working girls of Birmingham are peculiarly independent and are hard workers. They are in part the producers of our wealth and perform valuable labor in | the district.

NEW WORKS GOOD HUSBANDS.
, City With Smallest Proportional Num-
 Der of Divorced Men.

More divorces are applied for and more are granted in the city of New York than in any other large city of the country, but the number of divorced men residing in New York Is relatively much smaller than in any other very large American city, says an exchange
 There were by the last enumeration, fewer than 1200 divorced men, of whom $50 were in Brooklyn, while in Chicago the number was nearly 2O00 and in Indian apolls, which has less population than the borough of Queens, 60O There were only 35 in Queens.
 San Francisco which has almost exact- ly one-tenth of the population of New York had by the last census 500 divorced men, equivalent in the same ration to SO000 in New York. where actually the number is only 1200.
 St. Louis and Washington are two other cities which have an unusually large num- Der of divorced men in proportion to their whole population. Portland, Ore. a city of 100000, has half as many as Philadel- phia, city of 1.25O,O0O Spokane has 1000
 inhabitants; Troy, N. Y, has 65,0OO. Spo- kane has 200 divorced men among It's in habitants; Troy has 15.
 Newark has 5000 fewer inhabitants than has Milwaukee, which has three times as many divorced men,
 Various explanations of these disparities are given, the most natural one of which is that divorced men in New York City re- marry; In Chicago and some other cities they don't-at least, one to the same ex- tent New Yorks record as the city with the smallest number of divorced men in proportion to the whole population is mo- where challenged.

 ''rhe conductor who has charge of a car with a trailer sometimes has a hard time keeping check on the passengers who For instance he has heavy run of passengers and while he is in the trailer a number leave the car at a station. Others get on at both ends of the car ahead and two or three on the trailer. He has to watch for those getting off, for those getting on and at the same time give his signals to the motorman ahead.
 He collects the new fares on the trailer and goes to the frst-class car. Say. for instance he has already collected forty of fifty fares. Ten persons got on at the last station and they are sprinkled over the car It is an absolute impossl- bility for all conductors to remember the faces of all those that have paid.

DEMONSTRATORS MUST BE
 RATHER GOOD LOOKING

ade-although it does not follow that she is thus arrayed when acting as demon- strator. Then she may be attired in the simple black and white of d housemaid,
 but 1t is essential that she have that mys- terious thing known as style and hence the glad array when applying for work
 Thus the first requisite of the demon strator is attractiveness. The second, and not greatly less, is the ability to sell goods. While the introduction is the thing sought after by firms using the demon strator to introduce goods, it has been discovered that there is no time when it is easy to sell goods as when their merits are being expended and demon strated by an expert The demonstrator usually is a saleswoman or salesman and in the combination of these duties they can earn almost any amount of salary if they can sell goods It is customary with many firms to pay their demon- strators a commission goods sold, be- sides the salary. There are a few who
 work exclusively on commission.

The waiter was dumfounded. we don't serve dogs he replied. The dog was chained to a railing outside the lunch room.
 Well. you serve chicken. though, don't you?" replied the customer. Fry me one and wrap it up. Ceasar can eat 1t when we get home"
 The owner of the dog was Dr. Edward St. George Courtney of 25o Green street. He paid 60 cents for his own meal and 70 cents for the dogs and departed.

Often 1t hap pens that two or three firms with the same line to be put out will be found bidding for one demonstrators services, her or his ability in this line being worth probably thousands of dollars for firm. During the worlds expositions or other large attractions demonstrators of all kinds are in demand and the best sal aries are paid in these circumstances.
