There was vacancy in the ministry
of West Highland parish, for which
three candidates preached in the church
on three successive Sundays. The first
was diminutve in stature, the second
smaller still, and the third the smallest
of all.
A lady In the congregation spoke
with a member Of the church commit
tee. and demanded to know why such
small candidates had been selected.
The explanation, as a writer in the
London Telegraph gives it. was this:
"Weel, mum, ye see the steepends
hae become very small, and they're no
bringing oot such big ministers as they
used to do"

There was never time In the his
tory Of the earth when the door Of Op-
portunity to the technical branches of
the worlds work was so invitingly held
open to women as it is to-day That
the geptler sex in the United States is
taking advantage OF this enlarged
sphere of her activity is very plainly
shown in the figures of the last census
Census reports are generally regard
ed as useful but uninteresting accu-
mutation Of facts, but while this is
true, they render no slight service in
estimating tie value Of important
movements. According to the census
Of 1900 there are 800 "gainful occupa-
tions' In this country, and of that
number women We're found In 297,
leaving only eight in which, at the time
the census was taken, they were not
engaged
TO enumerate these occupations in
which woman is not found Is to argue
that she has succeeded in getting into
nearly ali. There are. for instance, no
women soldiers, sailors or marines.
Perhaps If the law was not explici
women might be found navigating a
battleship or fighting a submarine But
the law she had no hand In framing
says "NO." When women are given the
right to vote there may be another
story to tell. Then, there are no wom-
en- firemen in any Of the municipal de-
partments, no women street car driv-
ers, no women "helpers to brasswork-
ers,' helpers to steam boiler makers"
nor apprentices and helpers to roofers
and slaters."
1t should be noted that In the three
classes last named women thus far
have only refrained from engaging as
helpers or apprentices, though they are
found as brassworkers, steam boiler
makers and as rsofers. A Delaware
town has its woman horseshoer, and
women machinists are by no means un-
known. OF the 2S0OO,0OO women more

than ten years Of age in the country
at the taking Of the last census more
than 20 per cent, or 5,319,3 ,397, were en-
gagged in "gainful occupations" This
means that one and a quarter millions
of women in excess of the number In
1890 were working at various trades
and occupations During the decade the
number of women had increased from
23.OO0000 in 1890 to 2S.246.O 600 in 1900
One of the most notable increases In
the number Of workers in any single
occupation IS found In that of the stem
ographer. In 1890 there We're q .210
women thus employed. In 1900 there
We're Sc, lis, or a 200 per cent Increase
in a decade. If the increase has been
maintained at the same ratio there
must be now about 1890 women stem
ographers in the country or, If only
the annual average increase has been
maintained there are now about 20
900 women playing on the keys of type
writer's in various offices in the United
States.
AS has been shown by the census
figures, women are pushing ahead into
almost every "gainful occupation,' even
into those trades and occupations which
it had been believed were exclusively
mans heritage. There never was so
vain a dream, it appears, as that which
pictured any "gainful occupation" in
which women may not enter. For In
stance, in 1900 there were two women
"notormen." and there probably will
be more when the next census Is taken.
Women in general do not succeed in
manly occupations any better than men
do, but the percentage of success may
be said to be greater in certain fields.
One reason for the triumph of the mod
ern woman in the field of mans work
Is to be found in the care she usually
takes to fit herself for her chosen occu-
patton, and the seriousness with which
she takes herself leads to determina-
ton to succeed that simply compels
success.

to Realize Strength.
Figures seem essential to convey to
the nonprofessional mind an adequate
conception Of the stupendous power FOR
aggression or for resistance cOncen-
trated in twelve battle ships, four ar
mored cruisers, four protected cruls-
ers, four monitors and dozen torpedo
boats and tOrpedo-boat destroyers, br
says Harpers Weekly 1t must here
suffice to say that the twelve battle
ships alone which were massed off Oys
ter Bay represented a combined dis
placement of nearly 154, 600 tons; the
armored cruisers, almost $4,000 tons; Z;
the monitors and protected cruisers,
more than $4,000 tons, and the whole
fighting fleet, including the torpedo
boats and submarines, but excluding
auxiiaries, an aggregate displacement
of upward Of 1000.
Relatively powerless and insignificant
as the torpedo boats may have looked,
the truth is that if one of them, the
Wilkes, could get near enough to such
a floating fort as the battle ship West
Virginia and spit torpedo out of her
tube in the right direction, $G,0OOOO0
would 90 up in the air and 500 men
would be food for fishes. We may add,
in order to refute some grOundless ac-
cusations, that the cost of the naval ra-
view, imposing as the pageant looked,
was negligible The cost was comput-
ed by Rear Admiral Evans at $500 all
told; for, as he pointed out, SO long as
a ship is in commission, it is just as
cheap for her to be at anchor off Oyster
Bay as to be Stcamng across the ocean.
