FEWER WOMEN AT WORK.
Demand Declining in London Except
 in the General Postoffice.

For lady clerks there seems to be less demand than formerly" states the report of the employment depart ment of the London chamber of com merce dealing with the condition of the clerical labor market during the closing quarter of last year.
 The manager of an important Lon- don business. on being asked the other night whether he could give any expla- nation of the declining popularity of lady clerks noted by the chamber of commerce stated that his experience was that many lady clerks looked for great deal of consideration. They expected to be paid as men and to be treated as women. They disliked be- ing taken to task when they did their work indifferently and were too fond of appealing to the chivalry of the mere male.
 Another business manager thought that the standard of attainments re- quired had risen of recent years and many of the lady clerks in the market were not up to it. He said that he found that women did routine work well but showed little or no initiative, and when set any task which was com plicated or which involved much thought they were apt to fail, with few brilliant exceptions.
 On the other hand it is worth notice that the general postof1ice makes great and increasing use of lady clerks for work involving considerable responsi- bility. Thus the savings bank depart ment at West Kensington is largely staffed by women, and its heads have repeatedly testified to their compe tence and efficiency in carrying out duties which demand high degree of accuracy.

Mans ModestY.

Men are more self-conscious than women in public, according to the Bos- ton Herald. A man would be much more disconcerted to find his stocking curling over his boot when he is en- deavoring to be agreeable in parlor than a woman would be if some such trivial accident befell her Mans mod esty is often synonymous with self consciousness or vanity. The Oriental woman yelled her face and was not disturbed if other parts of her body were revealed. What normal man would be brave enough to attend din- ner party with bare shoulders and 8 low-necked shirt? Modesty, in the conventional meaning of the word, is governed by custom, time and coun- try.

Teemine Life in the Ground.

The great abundance of life in the ground is again shown by A. E. Hick mott, gardener of Reading, England. To improve his garden he made 30 de- press ons in the ground, an inch or two deep, pressing a cabbage or let tuce leaf into each, and covering them with pieces of board, moistening in dry weather. In one day he caught 376 slugs, and from July to the mid dle of November total of 14,470. Hen sen, a German naturalist, placed the earthworms of an acre at 55,000, but if this garden has SO square yards it must have supplied slugs at the rate of 1,150,000 to the acre.
