The Jefferson City Tribune believes In

The Jefferson City Tribune believes In
decreasing the number of suicides by hu.
initiating tho self-destroyer. It says:
Strange that no one has yet resurrected
the old method. or rather some Of the old
methods of dealing with this question.
These were all based on the theory that
public disgrace after suicide would tend
TO lessen elf-destruction. History fur
nishes abundant proof that these old
ideas were nc entirely founded on
wrong conclusions. II is stated that one
time the number of young woman who
committed suicide in Rome, apparently
without any cause, became appalling.
The Senate passed a law to the effect
that every suicide should be dragged
through the principal streets of Rome at
the tail of a donkey. II is further related
that the mania on the part of Young
woman for committing suicide ceased at
once. Clearly, it was not the fear of
death that caused them to do so, but the
fear Of disgrace after death.

Az the rate of increass between 1890
and 1900 there cannot be short of
o'VVV'VoO at wock at present in va
IFious trades and occupations in the
United States of America. About
l'VOo'OOO of Americas Ave million
odd gatnful women in 1900 were en-
gagged In what the census calls agrl-
cultural pursuits There were also
100 women lumbermen and raftsmen
and llS women woodchoppers. There
are more than S25 ,0OO teachers and
64lS actresses There were s4O5
women clergymen actively engaged
in the religious life OF many denomi-
nations.
Forty women were classed as civil
engineers, 80 as mechanical and cleo
trical engineers and three as mining
engineers. Incidentally there we're
ID women veterinary surgeons. There
were also St25 women Librarians,
2OS6 woman saloon-keepers and 44O

In the building trades there we're
167 masons. 545 carpenters, As plas-

hangers and two skaters and roofers.
Plans We're prepared by 100 archi-

competition for the erection of build

The only occupations In which
women are going backward compared
with men," says the Technical World.
"are those in which they might be
expected to go forward, namely. sew
ing, tailoring and dressmaking. There
were fewer seamstresses. tailoresses

words, the number of women at work
increased half as fast again as the to-
