ADVANCEMENT IN JAPAN.
Great Step Forward Taken by Female
Subjects of the Mikado-More
Girls Attend School.

The remarkable increase during
the last few years in the number of
women employed in various branches
of commercial life in Japan must be
regarded. as very significant sign
of the times. Not content with the
occupations which have almost ex-
clusively belonged to females, they
have now invaded those fields which
have hitherto been considered as be-
longing to the male SEX
The experiment made in the EN-.
ployment of women as clerks and
bookkeepers has been found satisfac-
tory, and we now find girls employed
by many of the firms and stores in
Tokyo and other large cities. The
employment of women in these vari-
GUS directions will do much toward
emancipating the Japanese women,
who have until now been entirely de-
pendent on men for the shaping of
their destinies. 1t is only natural,
under such circumstances. that female
education should engage serious pub
lie attention. The number of girls
receiving a school education, it is
stated, is now more than eight times
the number of those at school ten
years ago, More remarkable are the
figures given by the Tokyo Educa.
tlonal society. Fifteen years ago the
percentage of females admitted to the
training school for teachers was less
than 20. as compared with the men,
but to-day the rate has been com
pletely reversed. the number of male
applicants being now about is per
cent of the total! 1t is said tina,
women. as teachers, are proving
themselves superior to men, and that
there is consequently more demand
for the former than the latter. There
Is no doubt that the employment of
women in the various branches of
business activity will steadily In,
crease with the advance OF education
among them.

One of the first explorers OF the
interior of South Africa was William
Cotton Oswell, a noted hunter and a
friend of Livingstone, to whom he
rendered important aid. In his biog-
raphy the following story is given
from one of his African letters: "An
incident highly creditable to Kaffir
womanhood occurred just as we
reached Mabotse. The women, as is
their custom, were working in the
fields, for they hoe, and the men sew.
A young man, standing by the edge
Of the bush, was chatting with them.
A noness sprang on him, and was
carrying him off, when one of the
women ran after her, caught her by
the tail and was dragged for some
little distance. Hampsred by the man

Is Established.

Washington. Never before In the
history of the world has there been
such task imposed on shorthand re-
completed at the capitol. There has
been more talk recorded there in the
last seven months than was ever put
into print anywhere before In the
same length OF time.
When the first session OF the fifty
ninth congress adjourned It was
found that the Congressional Record
had gone beyond the 10000 page mark.
Only once has 1t ever reached that
figure before In one session of con-
gress. and that was In the fifty-first
1.-THE Reed rules SESSION., which sat I'M
I'll October /. The congress In seven
months did as much talking on the
floors OF the house and senate as the
fifty-hrst did In ten months. The house
contributed the greater volume OF the
oratory. but the 20 day senate debate
on the railroad rate bin was quite I'M
precedented In that body for its con-
tinuousness. quantity. rapidity and
technical character.
The official reporters OF the house
who take an interest In such things
have collection of figures which
show that the debates in that body
average more rapid rate than any
where else. For instance the record
often contains 60 columns of reported
matter for six hours session. This
means an ayeraRe of abOut 165 words
minute the whole time. Some men.
like MIR. Tawney. Mr.. Hepburn, Mr..
Mondell and Mr. Clayton. speak with
such delightful elaboration and clear
ness that they could almost be taken
by u good longhand writer: but the
average Is made by the rapidity of 9TH
