OCCUPATIONS for Women.

Nearly 100000 women go to work every
day in the United States-go to paid work.

tineau. while visiting America, declared
that she found here but seven occupations
for women: teaching. needlework, taking
boarders. typesetting. employment in cot
ton mills. b~ookbinding. and domestice SER
vice. Now there are scarcely seven occu-
pations closed to them: they are pouring
out into the world Of activities, and the

Whether or not you or they like tho

have resented changing into a horse and
his neiGhbors may nave greeted his devel-

with acidly critical comment; but. when

him: ne had to adjust himself to the outer

then how about home and mother? The
answer to that-not new, but worth re-

the neccssaries Of life. Who was doing
the larger share of this, the man who

had given her back her health when she

She found that they We're good for rheu-

Eorcinc Public Opinion.


From The Railroads on Trial In Nc
Cures.
Having sent out an article to an editor.
his paper is closely watched by the read
ers, and when it appears the number in the
card-catalogue is checked in red. a glance
al Il card, therefore,. VIII instantly reveal
how much and what sort OF railroad ar
ticles every papers in the country is pub
fishing. how railroad information Is rum
ming high In one community and low In
another-whcther o paper Is good or
bad from the standpoint of the rail
roads.
This card-catalogue IS we'll named IN the
office The Barometer" 1t is certainly as
good an Indicator of the atmosphere OF
railroad opinion in the country as could
possibly be devised. 1t gives the observer,
indeed. and impression Of hopeless perfec-
ton. What chance have feeble, unor-
canned outsiders 10 make and register
pubic opinion in the face of such a ma
chine?
Docs II get ~rcsultsc Indeed 1t does. one
of tina members OF the firm told me with
pride Of the record in Nebraska. In the
week ended June >. last. the newspapers
&C THAI state published exactly 2l2 columns
OF matter unfavorable to the railroads,
and oulS TWO columns favorable. Eleven
weeks later. after Il careful campaign, q
weeks record showed that the papers Of
ebrasha had published 22 columns favor
able TO the railroads and four unfavorable.
\ pretty good b%arometric condition.
But The work is by no means confined TO
the Offices. If an editor is found to be
radically anti-railroad. as frequently hap
peas in the west. an agent goes about
among shipping and comercial oreaniza-
lions Of the town and stirs up public opir-
ion against the editor. Now. shippers and
business moa generally are peculiarly
subject TO railroad influence or discrimina-
tion. u very little thing will put them
wrong with the railroad. Consequently.
when the railroad asks q favor that costs
no~th.ng-llke the signing of a petition. or
the writing of a letter-why, they are in
clined 20 yield and avoid trouble. More
over, il is OF familiar knowledge that the
politicians in many towns are pro-railroad.
Usually one or more of the prominent law
Ners are retained by the railroads., and
there is always the local railroad staff to
be counted upon.
All these forces are so cunningly mar
shaded that the recalcitrant editor Is
smoked out by his own people.

The trial of the first libel suit grow
Ing out Of the attacks on patent"
medicines has resulted in a verdict for
the plaintiff. The first case to come to
trial was that of the DIR. Pierce COM
pany against the Ladies' Home Journal.
and the jury found the Ladies' Home
Journal guilty of libel and fixed $4,000
rs the damages 1t should pay. A mo-
ton was Immediately made by the DIR.
Pierce company to have this verdict set
aside and the case retired, the grounds
being that the verdict was insufficient.
This motion is yet to be argued.
The article on which the suit was
based was printed In the Ladies' Home
Journal, and was to the effect that
the Pierce medicines contained alcohol.
digitalis and opium. 1t was shown
that they contain none OF these drugs.
and Mr.. Box admitted. on the stand.
that after the article was printed he
had caused analysis to be made by
three chemists and none could find a
trace of the drugs mentioned.

His Hat His Favorite Receptacle 70
letters and Papers.

Letters and 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 & Lincoln was not u model es-
Enlistment. where there WAS a place
for everything. and everything in its
place. And II was not. Indeed. as a
managing clerk the Junior partner
would v been n 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 drudgery of
legal routine. hated drawing the declar-
ntions and pleas. despised the artificial
tiles and refinemcnts which were even
then beginning to creep into the plead
ings. and disrcgarded forms whenever
1t was possible TO do so.
There was nothing mechanical, pre-
else or lnethodical about the man, and
in all those housewifcly virtues which
characterized the careful. orderly. cx-
act solicitor he was utterly deficient.
He never knew where his papers We're.
and apparently the only attempt he
ave made To better the disorder was
to write on one of his bundles of papers
which Uttered his desk, When YOU
can't find 1t anywhere else. look in
this" But that was long after the firm
OF Stuart e. Lincoln has dissolved, and
even hen We find him explaining to "a
correspondent thai he had placed his
letter inside an old hat and had thus
neglected answering it. which shows
he had not wholly outgrown the habit
of his postoflice days. Indeed, his hat
continued to be his favorite receptacle
for papers as long as he lived. and he
never acquired any sense of rider.
