The chief consideration which restraints

they would have to pay men better wages.
Now this is a real grievance that women
in almost all occupations have had to
endure. BY every principle of Justice, if
woman does the same work as a man
she should have the same pay. There are
those VINO argue that in no case Is this

PREPARATION FOR RAINY DAY
Supply Of Clean, Dry Sand viii Pro-
vide Amusing Occupation for the
Little Ones.

The outdoor sand pile Ia time
honored institution, but out of doors
offers many other attractions. 30 we
improved on the idea.
A box was made, about nine inches
high, and in other. dimensions just q
little smaller than the nursery bed. It
was fitted with casters, lined with a
pale green oilcloth, and box plait-
ing of green denim was put around the
outside with brass-headed tacks. Next
o barrelful OF fine white sand was put
in-and the stormy day problem was
solved.
The little maid, less than q year
old, when the box was first introduced,
was perfectly safe, and she never
seemed to tire of its endless attrac-
lions. Nearly all her toys were kept
there; old playing cards would stand
up in the sand to form houses and
fences; trains of cars had much bust
ness to transact, and many hours
were spent just ladling the sand into a
big. thick bottle with an old tin spoon
and pouring it out again.
The little occupant was taught from
the first that no sand was to go on the
floor, and we never had the least trou-
BILE even after the little sister came
to share the box few years later. In.
deed, 1t proved the cheapest, safest
and best device that ever was invent
ed for keeping the little ones happily
entertained.

Cooperation when practiced at the
proper time is one of the prime factors to
success. When in a large institution the
officers and employees cooperate in their
various capacities such efforts are bound to
aid the institution or corporation in its
growth and future success.
Cooperation, however, is like the mech
anism of a watch; it is very delicate sub
ject and must be handled tenderly and care
fully looked after by the superior officers.
