Men for So Girls.
One day last week bill clerk, about
twenty-fiv years old, was discharged
by Sears, Roebuck & Co.
His sister, sixteen years old, had
been forced to leave school, and also
was looking for work this week.
The day after the brother was dis
charged, his sister saw an advertiser
ment for girl-workers at the Sears
store. She applied for the Job.
After a few days she told her brother
what the nature of her employment
was. What was his surprise to find
that she had his old job, and promised
to become as skillful as ever he was in
short time.

So to 50 a week has been going on for
some time.
Men are being displaced in other de-
partments Of the business. It is esti-
mated that more than a thousand
young women have taken mems work;
saving the company between $4,000
and $4,000 a week.
Sears, Roebuck & Co. are operating
their business for profit and have a
legal right to hire any adult person for
any wages the person is willing to &C.
cept. They are compelled by competi-
ton to get merchandise and labor as
cheap as their business rivals or lose

Ill one Of the luckiest things that
had ever occurred in his work
shop. Its happening SO soon after he
reached st. Petersburg he looked upon
as particularly fortunate, because this
gave him time to follow the new trend
of thought along which his mind had
been detected by such knowledge as
the unexpected outcome of his expert
ment had disclosed to him. The nlaS
terial he had used as catalytic agent
was q new substance which he had
read of in a scientific review and he
had purchased small quantity Of 1t
In London. If such a minute portion
produced results so tremendous, lie be-
gan to see that a man with an APP
parently innocent material in his waist
coat pocket might probably be able to
destroy a naval harbor, so long as wa
ter and stone were In conjunction.
There was also a possibility that a
small quantity Of ozak, as the stuff
was called, mixed with pure water,
would form a reducing agent for lime
stone and perhaps for other minerals,
which would work much quicker than
If the liquid was merely impregnated
with earbonic acid gas. He endeayor
ed to purchase some ozak from Mr..
Kruger, the chemist on the English
quay, but that good man had never
heard of it, and a days search per-
suaded him that 1t could not be got in
st. Petersburg, so the prince induced
Kruger to order half a pound Of it
from London or Paris, in which latter
city it had been discovered. For the
arrival Of this order the prince waited
with such patience as he could call to
his command and visited poor Mr.. Kru-
ger every day in the hope Of receiving
it.
One afternoon he was delighted to
hear that the box had come, although
1t had not yet been unpacked.
Il will send it to your house this
evening"" said the chemist There
are number of drugs In the box for
your old friend Professor Potixin of
the university, and he is even more
impatient for his consignment than
you are for yours. All, here he Is,
and as he spoke the venerable Potkin
himself entered the shop.
He shook hands warmly with Ler-
montoff. who had always been IA
vorite pupil of his, and learned with
interest that he had lately been to
England and America.
Cannot you dine with me this even
ing at half past q asked the old man.
There are three or four friends COM
ing to whom shall be glad to intro
dnce you.
Truth to tell, professor" demurred
the prince, Il have friend staying
with me, and I don't just like to
leave him alone. :
Bring him with you, bring him with

case be sure you come yourself. !
shall be expecting you. Make your
excuses to your friend If he does not
wish to endure what he might think
dry discussion, because we shall talk
nothing but chemistry and politics. i
The prince promised to be there
whether his friend came or no. The
chemist here interrupted them and told
the professor he might expect his ma
