OCCUPATIONS for Women.
Juliet Wilbor Tompkins in Success Mag

zine.
Nearly 5000 900 women go to work every
day in the United states-go to paid work,
whether the returns be s. a week or $4,000
a year. Sixty years ago Harriet Mar
tineau, while visiting America, declared
that she found here but seven occupations
for women: teaching, n~eedlework. taking
boarders, typesetting. employment in cot
ton mills. bookbinding, and domestice SER
vice. Now there arc scarcely seven occu-
pations closed to them; they are pouring
out into the world of activities, and the
5000. 600 will be six. at the next counting.
Whether or not you or they like the
change is wholly unlmportant. AS someone
has suggested, the early eohippus may
have resented changing into u horse and
his neighbors may have greeted his devel-
opment in the matter OF hoofs and legs
with acidly critical comment; but, when
once started horseward, nothing could stop
him; he had to adjust himself to the outer
conditions that demanded one concentrat-
ed toe in the place of five. In the same
way woman Is being swept along in q
great, vague, irresistible wave of economic
change, when she turns her face down
town in the early morning.
She will pass an alarmist utterine his
dismal note on every corner; his warning
is prophetic Of lost charm, lost power, and

man will cease altogether to support wom-
en-, If this thing goes on Increasing, and
then how about home and mother? The
answer to that-not new, but worth re-
peating-is that man never has supported
woman. TO support means to provide with
the necessaries of life. Who was doing
the larger share Of this, the mar who
raised and sheared the sheep, or the man
who carded and spun and wove the wool,
and cut and seWed the o-the man
who SHOT the bird, or the woman who
plucked and cooked 1.-THE man who pro
vided the yarn. or the woman who knit
the stockings? 1t is a fairly even matter.
this Support in the days when most
Of the human needs were worked out I'M
der Zach individual roof.
In number homes, where the necessities
are bought instead Of made and vet there
is but one source Of money. we often get
a picture of a shriveling, careworn father
staggering under a weight Of strummine,
cmbroidering. spending daughters that
make us rejoice in that swelling 5000, 900
at their gainful occupations. How can
they do It, these kindly. careless girls: and
what will become of them when they have
worked their victim to death? Surely
some change in a system that allows such
uneven burdens need not make us fear a
lessening OF woman's intrinsic value: she
Will have gained in every sense when she
becomes ashamed to rest her healthy
young weight on overworked shoulder.
That by going to work. she completes with

that, as q producer, she always has COM

LlNCOLN'S CARELESSNESS.
His Hat His Favorite Receptacle for
Letters and Papers.
From the Century.

Letters n Papers.
From the Century.
When Lincoln was postmaster Of New
Salem he used to tuck the letters inside
his hat and deliver them whenever he
happened to meet the persons to whom
they We're addressed. AS this is a fair
example Of his business system 1t may
readily be imagined that the office Of
Stuart G. Lincoln was not a model es-
tablishment, where there was a place
for everything, and everything in its
place. And it was not. Indeed. as .
managing clerk the Junior partner
would lave been a hopeless failure, and
as an attorney, in the technical sense
of the term, he would never have dis
tinguished himself. He disliked every
thing connected with the d%rudgery of
legal routine, hated drawing the declar-
ations and pleas, despised the artificial
tiles and refnemeilts which We're wen
then beginning to creep into the plead
ings, n diSregarded forms whenever
it was possible to do SO.
There was nothing mechanical, pre-
else or methodical about the nan and
in all those h~ousewifely virtues which
characterized the careful, orderly, ex-
act solicitor he was utterly deficient.
He never knew where his papers We're,
and apparently the only attempt he
ever made TO better the disorder was
to write on n of his bundles of papers
which Uttered his desk. "When you
can't find it anywhere else, look In
this" But that was long after the firm
Of Stuart & Lincoln has dissolved, and
even then we find him explaining to a
correspondent hat he had placed his
letter inside an old hat and had thus
neglected answering 1t, which shows
he had lot wholly outgrown the habit
Of his postoffice days. Indeed, his hat
continued to be his favorite receptacle
for papers as long as he lived, and he
never acquired any sense of order.

Studxinu for the staae.

Sarah Bernhard In Success Magazine.
I wrote, some time back, that there is no
end to the work OF studying for the stage.
and 1t is so. There is much to learn. and
many, many books must be read. Inc
student should read first, of course, the
dramatists of his own language, then those
of other countries. Always he should read
with understanding and with the object of
learning something. Superficial reading of
anything that is NOT In itself superficial is
a waste of time. "A dramatic student must
study as she reads, must learn the history
of every country in order to be able to
portray historical characters with accur-
great literature of all lands in order fully
to understand the thoughts and feelings
of those she imp~ersonates.
The wider the knowledge OF the woman,
the greater the ability OF tho actEess.s IT
n has an aptitude for one Of the arts
or sciences. by all means she should study
that art or science. To learn as much
as possible of everything should be the
chief aim Of a dramatic sGnoiss. fCr all
arts, all professions, all trades, and all
conditions of life have their bearing on the
art of acting. There Is no limit to the
number and variety Of the subjects that
may be studied with advantage, and one
never reaches a point where constant
study ceases to be a necessity.
Purposely, / have avoided until now
mentioning one thing that is extremely
important. It is not a thing that can be
studied: it Is not even something that can
be denied. In the dramatic profession.
however. 1t counts, possibly. more han
in any other occupation. 1 nave refrained
from mentioning 1t until the last because
I desire to impress it on my readers.
I will put it in this way:

TOP DRESSING PASTURES AND
MEADOWS.

The average yield of hay taken from
a meadow in the United States Is prob
ably less than ~ tons per acre per
year. If due attention is given to the
fertilizing OF meadows this return
could undoubtedly be very greatly in
creased Statements occur from time
to time, particularly in eastern Iapers,
showing the great increase IN the
yields of hay brought about by top
dressing meadows with some kind OF
fertilizer. In New England complete
fertilizers are used; that is to say. Ter
tilizers which contain nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash. The practice,
however, Of using nitrogen alone, ana
two or three times during the growing
season, is becoming quite common. In
stances have been cited wherein five
tons per acre per year have thus been
reaped. In other instances, three tons
have been obtained. If these results
can be obtained on the thin soils OF
New England, how much more will
they not be obtained on the richer
soils of the Mississippi basin, If due at
tention is given to the fertilization OF
the meadows.
The time Is coming when meadows
and pastures will be thus fertilized.
even in the rich valleys of the tribu-
taries OF the Mississippi. But even
now there is a method by which much
could be done by way of fertilizing
such meadows if attention were only
paid to it. Farmers who live near
towns and cities should draw manure
from the same. In very many OF the
cities, towns and villages of the West
this commodity could be obtained for
the drawing. If it were piled up and
allowed to heat and were then spread
over meadows, the yields would be
very greatly increased. The heating
of the manure would have the effect of
destroying the vitality of the major
/ portion of the weed seeds in the same.
! Pastures should also be very greatly
/ improved by top dressing them. Where
field is to remain for some time In
pasture, the plan would probably be
reasonably safe that would spread the
manure thus drawn Immediately over
| the pastures. However, there might
be some kinds OF weed seeds In such
manure that would make it unsafe to
spread 1t thus over the pasture before
1t was reduced by fermenting.
The return from such a method OF
treating meadows and pastures would
not all be obtained in the extra pro-
duction resulting. That return would
continue in crops that were grown on
the sod when It was overturned. The
increase In the humus thus put into
the soil would be favorable to plant
growth subsequently.

THE SECRET OF HORSE BREED

Commenting upon the necessity for
. foundation Of good blood In the i'm
provement Of stock. the distinguished
writer. John H. Wallace. says:
when I commenced to think and
write about the horse nifty years ago.
like all other beginners Of that day !
was wild as . hawk. I was terribly at.
nicted with the parrot cry Of that age.
that the way to improve the horse or
any other domestic animal was to
breed up" and I never got clear OF
my ahliction till I sat down to the
study of great collections Of facts. 1t
did not take me long to learn then
that mere breeding was delusion and
a humbug. and that the true way to
breed was to go to the horse that pos
sessed the qualities and could do what
I wanted my colts to possess and do.
"In other words, adopt the simple
formula that like begets like" In
looking back over the acts Of long
life, l think that II I had done any
thing that may live after me. it is the
promulgation and support OF this great
central truth as applied to breeding
horses. 1t met with much and bitter
opposition for a long time. but 1t has
now become the law Of the land"
