GERMAN WOMEN WORKERS.
Move to Shorten Working Hours
Meets with Vigorous Protest
from Employers.

The German Society for Social Re-
form has petitioned the federal legis-
lature Of Germany to pass an act to
regulate the working time of females
over 16 years of age who work in fac
tories or Industrial establishments
The petition asks:
"That the present maximum day Of
II hours be reduced to ten hours for
such employees, and to nine hours on
days preceding Sundays or holidays.
THAT where the authorities per-
NIT overtime. the work shall not ex-
coed IL hours day, and on Saturdays
not over nine hours, and should stop
by 1880 p. m.
THAT the dinner pause at noon be
shortening of this pause to be allowed
by the public authorities only after
they have consulted the female en-
ployes upon the subject.
THAT women be not allowed to work
in factories or similar occupations un-
til six weeks after confinement, nor
during the fortnight following the six
weeks, unless physicians certificate
permits it,
This petition has met with almost
unanimous opposition from the EN-,
ployers. Their objection to this rer
form measure is based on economical
reasons. They say that many branches
Of manufacturing are limited to a short
season in each year, during which over
time work is essential so as to fill
orders timely. They allege that
through this reduction of the working
hours German manufacturing, especial,
ly that for the export trade, would be
seriously injured, the price of goods
made higher, and, in many cases,
owing to inability to fill orders prompt
ly, trade would diminish, and thereby
the condition Of the operatives be-
come worse instead of being bettered,
as the proposed change of the law in
tends.

weather Reports Save MONEY.


In spite of the standing joke about
the weather man, it is probable that for
every dollar spent on the weather bu.
reau $40 are saved. At the time Of the
Mississippi flood of 1897 $15,000,000
worth of live stock and other valuable
property were saved as a result Of
warnings issued a week ahead. Sig
mails displayed for a single hurricane
have detained in port vessels valued,
with the cargoes, at $20,OO0,000. The
West Indian stations, established in
1898, inform us of hurricanes as soon
as they begin. The course of the hur-
ricane that caused the Galveston flood
was charted for week before it sturck
our shores-for hurricanes move slow.
ly. Eighty-f1ve per cent. of the fore
casts now come true, and by the aid of
rural free delivery 25,000,O00 forecast
cards were distributed last year to
farmers, many Of whom could not have
had them five years ago.-Country Life

GREAT CRY FOR TWINS.
In Proportion to It's Total Of Births
Omaha Has a Very Large
Percentage.

Omaha has the distinction OF having
. larger percentage of twins born than
In any other city in the west. In 1894
the births were 1885. In this number
there were 81 pairs of twins and one
assortment of triplets. DR.. Della
Lynch, a physician of Omaha, who has
always been interested in this subject,
says:
Twins are almost heredity. That Is,
the tendency to produce twins runs IN
families. Sometimes it skips a genera
ton or two, but have seldom known
q case Of twins or triplets where there
had not been twins or double births on
either the fathers or mothers side OF
the family"
There is family in Omaha in which
the father and the mother were each
one of twins. Although they rejoice in
q family of five children, there are no
twins among them, much to relief OF
both parents. That's all right" says
the mother. Twins look cute when
they are dressed up and out on the
street in carriage. My mother peri
sisted In dressing my twin sister and
myself exactly alike until we married
and could choose our own clothes. And
every time we went down town to-
gether we could hear people saying:
oh, just look at those twins. Don't
they look alike?' And to crown 1t all
my husband proposed to my twin Sis
ter one night on the front porch in the
twilight. OF course, he thought 1t was
me; but 1t was embarrassing just the
same"
You are right, twins are no joke"
said her husband. 81 was always get
ting licked for what my twin brother
did when we were kids. Even now 1t
makes US lots of trouble, our resem7
blance. We travel over much The same
territory, although he has a different
line from what | carry, and people are
constantly mistaking us for each
other"

Catchy Music the Thing.

"A catching melody" says a pro-
moter Of musical shows, will do more
to make a musical piece go than all
the incidental business and show girls
in creation" To give new turn to an
old saying, the tunes the thing. The
words Of hardly any of the popular
songs are worth memorizing. In most
eases they are either stupid or vul-
gar. 1t is the same with the old-fash-
toned Italian opera; the libretto is
wretched, but the melodies, like beauty
itself, are JOY forever.-Boston Tran

Hay-Loft in Automobile Barn

A Philadelphia who has a country
house near his home city recently &C
quired an automobile. For its proper &C
commodation he built barn near his
house. When the structure was COM
pleted party of friends invited to
inspect it noticed that the barn was a
two-story building. They wanted to
know what he intended to keep in the
second story. The owners explanation
didn't explain, but his wife revealed
the reason for the second story. "You
see," she said, "the second story was
intended for hay loft and it was not
until the thing was built that either
Henry or l realized that an automobile
doesn't eat hay"

Gold Output of the Rand.

! Rand gold mines were rather slow
in recovering from the Boer war, but
they are now turning out more gold
than ever before. The July production
of little more than 100000 was the
largest on record for any one month,
and the production Of the last nine
months Is almost exactly equal to the
production of the last full year before
the Boer war broke out. The produc-
tion is now proceeding at the rate of
more than s1OO,OO0.OO0 a year.-Phila-

Grangeville, Idaho, July 1.-THE

many people to the cool hills a few
miles out of the city Few towns in
the world OF the same size or even Of
several times the size enjoy as great
a luxury, as Grangeville enjoys in the
densely wooded hillside just a short
distance away
A mile and a half from the very
business heart of the city is a fine
grove of trees and located at the foot
of the mountain. the weather there is
cool even during the hottest day. The
Grangeville people on especially hot
seasons maintain a sort OF mountain
suberb at this point, and usually have
the pleasantest time of the season
while they are enjoying the semi-o out
ing
A few have already commenced to
make arrangements about their tents
at this place, and IT Is thought If the
hot weather shows indication of con-
tinuing much longer a large number
OF the residents will take their tents
and move out
