WOMEN IN INDUSTRY IN FRANCE
AND HERE.

About three years ago some general
facts and statistics were published by
the census office concerning woman
In Industry" or the "gainful ,occupa-
tions" of American women. We learn
ed that about 5000, 900 women were
wage-earners and that most of them
were employed in these great occupa-
tlonal groups Domestic service,
farming and farm labor. manufacture
ing, dressmaking. laundering, teaching
and housekeeping.
Many interesting question were sug-
gested but not answered by the pre-
liminary bulletin, and the other day
another report was issued giving
number of details regarding the char
Acter of the work done by women
wage earrers and the age, condition
and stats Of these toilers.
Thus we learn that women were
found in 1900-the year of the census
in al but nine of the occupations
recognized as such by the census of
fee, and that the nine exceptions are
these: The army. the navy and mer-
chant marine, fire departments, street
car driving. telegraph and telephone
WORK. and apprentice assistance to
steam boiler makers, brassworkers.
roof rs and slaters. The employment
of married women had increased con-
side rlhly since the previous census;
one .fied woman in eighteen was
at work in 1900. OF the single women
about 46 per cent were at work, of
divorced women 50 per cent and of
married women Sc per cent AS to
the age of these workers, out of every
100 there were 6S women under 35,
"A under % and 26 under 81 years.
The bureau does not indulge In
much generalization, leaving the fig
ures to convey their own lessons, but
some deductions it considers relative
ly safe and plain. The increase in
the employment of married women is
attributed to wife desertion, as near
ly $4,000 of the married women work
ers were reported as living with par
ents or as boarders. And we are told
that at least a million women were
in industry" because of new condi-
tons and tendencies in our social and
economic life. Twenty years ago they
could not have entered the gainful
occupations, for then the sphere of
women was much narrower.
A consular report from Lyons fur
nishes facts in relation to remale labor
in France which invite comparison
with the American figures. The work
ing population of France is placed at
l9,750000, and of this number more
than third are women and girls.
The percentage of women employed in
four branches of labor is: Agricul-
ture. 2S; commerce, 80; domestic pur-
suits, n; learned professions. 33. In
some industries the men complain that
they are being driven out of en-
ployment by women and girl lin
vaders." Thus it is stated that for
every 100 men employed today in the
French cotton mills there are 5S wom-
en- and girls, while in the silk mills
the ratio is even higher. In the tulle
factories two-thirds of the employees
are women. No wonder economists
advise the French workmen to "go
back to the land"

SHE SLAPPED THE EMPEROR.

Chicago News.
In Frederic Loliee's Women of the
Second Empire" the author tells the
sensational story of Empress Eugenie
of France. 1t concerns pressing po
litical matter. one of church and state
Because the empress felt strongly on
it the emperor feared lest she should
endeavor to influence the deliberations
OF the cabinet council by appearing
in person. Accordingly he gave orders
that the meeting should be kept secret
from her. NJ. Loliee says: ''But the
matter SO carefully concealed was al
ready known to her, and, acting on
the first impulse of her fiery Spanish
temperament, boiling over with anger.
she flew rather than walked to the
council chamber. A sentry had been
placed at the door with orders to
allow no one to pass. He opposed
eign.
g" 4 wish to enter: stand back!' she
cried angrily. Finding himself in
horrible quandary between the orders
he had received and his fear of hurt
ing his empress, the guardsman, be-
tween his gallantry- to her sex and
his fidelity to the word of command
fell at the feet of Eugenie with his
bayonet laid across the doorway
Majesty, no one may pass. by order
of the emperor We shall sect
And without more ado she leaped
over the sentry's bayonet, burst open
the door and entered the council cham
ber with the violence of a whirlwind.
The emperor was presiding, grave and
lmperturbable, he alone having his
head covered in the presence of his
respectful and attentive ministers.
But the sovereign failed to impose
respect on his angry wife, who saw in
him only the man and the husband.
Going straight up to him with back
handed blow she knocked off his hat,
then without word withdrew as she
had entered, leaving the ministers
dumb with surprise and consterna-
tion.'
