Examine gold and silver coins and you

no. Copper kills germs. Diphtheria

"They have many cholera epidemics
In China, but certain towns are al

their drinking water In great copper

these vessels. for they are beautiful.
but the villagers will not sell them.

health and welfare depend on their re-

But that wasn't the only thing. The morn
ings were as bad az the nights, only in a
different way.
Il don't have to get up early and l love

Though they had all been told that the

I The women plant and gather the crops.
They thresh the grain most Of the time
with the old fashioned fail, or il the thresh-
ing machine has been installed they do the
work that men in this country do.
Near Sar1eau an American was intro
ducing a thresber from this country. He
and another were the only men around
the machine and he spent much time and
sympathy watching the women handling
the sheaves and amid the clouds of dust
and chaT storing away the wheat and
straw. 1t was the s~trangest sight he had
seen in all France.
But in Brittany, where the soil is often
poor m the crop is from the sea, the
women are the harvesters. One Of the
sights Of the gloomy, rocky western
coast is the long lines Of women, and chill
dren that work amid the spray and fog
when the sea is high. gathering the cast
up wealth OF sea weeds.
On the salt marshes In the neiRhborhood
of Guerande the labor falls to the lot Of
girls and women. On their heads they
carry great baskets OF the salt to the store
houses and load it upon waiting trains
and barges.
At Cancale, where is situated the most
famous oyster industry Of France, the
cultivation is entirely in the hands of women
and they, too, load and unload the vessels
that carry the product to the outside world
Cancale is distinctly a woman's town,
for the men are deep sea fishers md for
periods of six months are away from their
homes.
In their absence the hardy women folk
take complete charge Of the town and the
few old men that remain behind. They
run the hotels, the bakeries and the stores;
they police the street and patrol oyster
parks.
If you ask a Breton fisherman where are
the prettiest girls in the world, he may
from local pride give first place to his native
village, but Cancale always has second.
Feyant years ago went here to find his
types for beautiful fisher girls and has
preserved their faces and figures in many
of his ~canvases.
It's the girls, though, that are spoken OF
as pretty. not the women. A few years
in the slime Of the oyster beds with the
accompanying long hours and the great
burdens that fall TO them as ~stevedores
make them old and haggard early in life.

They toll with the tide and regulate their
lives by it's ebb and flow. II is a weird
sight to watch these 200 or 800 women load
ing an ocean going vessel. They crawl
ali over the sides like ants with their great
muddy, Shiny baskets and b with the
ardor Of enthusiE SITS.
HThey nave to-" said a villager, FOR
they are not paid by the hour or day, but hv
the tide, which varies. Some Of them get
20 cents, some 80 cents. BE the time long
or short it's all thu same, a day
Frederick the Great once described Ba-
varia as a paradise Of human beasts. Many
people think that tine remark holds as true
to-day as W hen il was made. some centuries
ago. The German reformers are inclined
to hold up that part Of the empire as a hor-
rible example.
The sight oil. a woman carrying mortar
to the up, e- stories Of a Broadway building
would attract M little attention and bring
forth some sympathetic observation But
it would not in Munich. for there 1t Is a cont
mon sight. The women who do this work
are young, with strong limbs, stout ankles
and broad shoulders and hips.
1T takes young women for the work
said a foreman; -old women can't carry
the burden to the upper stories. Even the
young SCOT break down. and then We have
no use for them, except on the stone piles
and only a limited number are needed there.
Thirty is about the limit Of their useful
ness. Oh, yes, some OF them look older
than that, but that's on account Of their
work"
The position Of track tender and switch
woman in Munich is one much sought for,
and the holder OF such a job is much envied.
By selecting women Of more mature age
the officials think that they will attend
better to their duties, and for that reason
most Of the incumbents are we'll past 20
They have their posts at most of the
important crossings and are distinguished
by the neat dress and a green felt hat on
whic h is a number in nickel. They work
nine hours a day, and IL there is a Iull in
the traffic they may leave their station in
the middle OF the street and rest on a bench
at the edge OF the sidewalk. The pay is
90 cents a day.
The. life of the Bevarian peasant woman
is hard, and IL. is no wonder thst she
| dreams of the job Of a Munich switch
woman as a prize well worth securing.
She tolls for poor reward on a little Alpine
farm and spends perhaps half OF her year
in the %sennerin huts far up in the noun
tains with no other companions than her
herd.
But she has one consolation; she can wear
trousers. This masculine garb OF the
mountain maid is strictly her working
dress, n il serves her purpose well in her
Alpine dairy farm.
She lays aside the trousers when she
comes down from the mountains and takes
up skirts for village life. The bottin. "a
the local express woman il callef who goes
with cart or sleigh from one isolated farm
house to another, wears her trousers all
the year around and no one pays any at
tention to it. But the Tyrolean maid has
not advanced far enough to consider them
in good form for either church ~ party
wear.

Westchester county has suffered more
from subdivisions and cutoffs than any
other county in the State IL was one
OF the original New fork counties when
New YORK was first undivided 200 years ago.
White Plains, the county seat, was formed
In l1S8 and has been continuously its CAPT.
tai ever since.
The first ~Of-cutting from Westchester
was In 1873 TO make up the present Borough
OF The Bronx. Twenty-Five years later
there was another oT-cut Of Bronx Valley
villages now Incorporated into New York
city. Notwithstanding these changes and
losses, Westchester has gone steadily ahead
and Ii now tho fourth county Of New York
state in population, exceeded only by New
York, Kings and Erie.
los population is $4,000, Of which 9 5000
are in Yonkers, 25.OO0 in Mount Vernon and
20. 900 in New Rochelle. Mount Vernon
and New Rochelle are new towns. Yonk-
ers is an old or dating back TO 1893. The
gro With Of WcstChestcr county is largely
due, OF course, to it's proximity TO New
York city, but II has obtained only a small
share Of the benefit OF this growth. for az
the towns in the portion of the county
nearest TO this city have increased they
have bee annexed, with the result that
the AREA of Westchester has been steadily
reduced while the population Of the county
has been steadily increasing.
For the first time this year, since 1870,
Westchester. in its choice of legislative
and Congressional candidates. in a separate
constituency 10 part Of IL being included
within the oficial boundaries Of New York.
Heretofore portions OF Westchester have

his noise machine.
There was only one OF my morning dis

One morning that l did sleep late | became
conscious on toward 0 O'Clock of a con-
tinuous stamping in front of the house.
AT first l thought il was some delivery
wagon at one OF the houses across the road
from me, but after a while IL seemed too
near and the blows seemed to be struck
on wood. / got up and looked out and, if
YOU please, there was an old black horse,
very bony and unkempt, with his fOrepaws
on the porch and his nose rubbing against
the rom door as If he took the house for
his stable.
Il stuck my head out Of the window and
shouted 'Giddap! and other appropriate
remarks until | was hoarse. but the old
nag paid not the slightest attention. There
he stood stamping and swishing his tail
with patient resolution, Well, there was
nothing for il but / had to put on a few
clothes and 90 down TO chase him away.
I picked up a good stout walk ing cane on
the way to the door and | got in one OF two

Miss Amelia de Broune had a tennis
