Women Must Like to Work.

The increase in the number of wom-
en- in the trade and industry of Amer
lea is alarming. Out of 305 "gainful
occupations enumerated by the cen
sus of the United States, there are
only eight in which women do not ap-
near. From four out of these eight &C.
equations women are excluded by law.
at the present time there are over
$1,000 900 women at work in various
trades and occupations in the United
States. In 1900, of every five Ameri'
can women over ten years OF age,
there was one who was going outside
of her family duties and who was tax
ing part in the gainful work Of the
working world. At that time there
we're 40 women civil engineers, ~
women mechanical and electrical en-
gineers and three women mining en-
%gineers, besides IA women veterinary

HINT FOR LATE Y
Custom Borrowed from the Beers to
Get Rid of Bores.

In South Africa candles are USED
for lighting purposes in the homes
and when a young Boer maiden has
gentlemen visitors, the mother sticks
a pin in the candle, and when it has
burned to the pin the callers under.
stand that it is time for their de.
parture.
Mrs. Early, a society matron OF
Washington, recently made a visit to
the Transvaal, and was impressed
with the custom of the Beers that
she determined to introduce it into
her own home. Consequently the cleo
trio lights were removed and candles
substituted in the drawing-room.
Mr.. Staylate, a frequent though not
always welcome caller, was one Of
the first visitors to call after the in
a%uguration of the new custom. He
witnessed the placing of the pin in
the candle by Mrs. Early, and after
she had gone ventured to inquire:
why, Miss Early, does your moth,
er stick a pin in the candle?"
"Oh," responded the young woman
with an air of apparent innocence.
