PWith the above statistics Ida M. Van . - Etten opens an article in the last num-' ber of the North American Review. y . 41 Continuing, she points out that we thus -1 find f. social condition which obliges nearly 8,000,000 women to depend upon their own exertions for a livelihood, and offers them a field of labor so circum­ scribed as to afford employment for not S IMS/ more than pne-tentli of .the number. Enormous overcrowding, fierce compe­ tition, and a consequent undue pressure of wages necessarily follow. ;. MERE HVMA^ MA(?HISE^^ ! The number of mill operatic, which is given at 152,163, includes only those engaged in the textile manufactures; Iff but the number engaged in other man­ ufactories would greatly swell these figures. For instance, about 20,000 : women and girls : Are cigarmakers. v *>. MoPe than 21,000 work i» the boot and \ shoe factories, where they do the meaner sort of work--binding, sewing on buttons, etc., and are very poorly paid. There is, moreover, no chance of • advancement, as the work requires only a certain amount of manual dexterity, which is readily acquired by a child, and thus the wages of the woman are kept at the level of those of a child. Experience and trustworthiness count for naught. "Nothing," says the writer, "is mote effectual in producing abjectness of character, and deadening the moral and intellectual nature, than a mean, servile condition which holds out no hope of change or improvement, and in which the compensation is in­ sufficient to afford the means of com­ fortable living." i TVE OPPRESSION OF THE WEAK. Notwithstanding these apparent draw­ backs, the tact remains that 45 per cent, of the employes in many manufac­ turing enterprises are women. That they are in reality mere beasts of bur­ den--part of the machinery--does not deter them from seeking suoh employ­ ment. Carroll D. Wright, United States Commissioner of Labor, calls attention to the fact that in all departments where men only are employed the hours of labor are but ten, but where the women - and children preponderate the hours f v are eleven or more, and asks why it Is that the weakest* the most helpless and dependent, are loaded with more hours, V:# while the strong and those better able ' to bear it have fewer hours to work 1 This is a question that has bothered many a head, and has been vainly asked K-;;"1. over and over again. Ways and means looking to a betterment of the condition of the workingwomen have been dis­ cussed; a few of them have assumed tangible shape and have been followed by satisfactory results; These are' mainly clubs, which look to the ameli­ oration of the social condition of mill operatives, seamstresses and shop-girls, and'to bureaus of employment and in­ formation. These are excellent in their way, but have no effect in relieving the overcrowded avenues of labor open to women or in protecting them from the demand's for excessive hours so often imposed. METHODS FOR A CURE. As a remedy for this system of op­ pression the writer in the Review, to whom we have referred, suggests that the workingwomen organize trades- * unions to determine the hours and wages on the same plan that the trades- unions for men are now carried on. This might, it is true, better their con­ dition in a measure, but the system is beset with difficulties that I fear would be more wearing and tearing to the * - - average woman than thei toiling and ^ scrimping that she now endures. The kind of organization that would do t away with child-labor in the factories : ^ would be more to the point It would v•* ,j. make room for more women and would >2./ undoubtedly raise their wages to the i; ; Ti level of Women's work. ' WHERtf OrRttAJfKATlOX MAY DO GOOD. " • ' . But »ad as is the condition of female operatives in the mills, that of the wo­ men Who fight the .wolf from the door with the point of a ne*dle is infinitely worse. For them there are no hours, no Sundays, absolutely no time for re­ creation. I do not refer to the skilled dressmakers, or the accomplished Beam- stresses who fashion dainty wear for fashion's favorites, but to the sewing- woman who makes a heavy pair of workingman's trousers for 7 cents, or a shirt for 6 or 8 cents. It is easy to see that these poor creatnxes can hardly find time to eat or sleep, much less for recreation. It is only by un­ ceasing labor, twelve or fifteen hours a day, and seven days in the week, that they are able to ward off starvation and keep the life in their wretched bodies at all. And the condition of the cloakmakers and those who make women's underclothing is not much better. Comparatively few women nowadays have their underwear made at home. After buying the ma­ terials scarcely anything is left to pay for the making; they find it much cheaper and quite as satisfactory to buy these garments ready-made. ' But it is elear that they are cheapened by the heart's blood of the sewing-women who ; make thom, and not by pecuniary loss to the merchant who sells them. These are hard facts, but they are ap­ parent. Cloakmakers are slightly bet­ ter off, for their work calls for experi­ ence. taste, and skill; but they are wretchedly paid for all that. For this class of workingwomen thorough organ­ ization might do mucli. A BETTER REMEDY STELL. But there is another way out of the difficulty--a way that requires no sys­ tem of organization or concerted action. Every workingwoman has the matter in her own hands. There is a constant and ever-increasing demand for domes­ tic servants. The cry of their scarcity and incompetency is heard on everv hand. It is folly to say that this brancl: of employment is overcrowded, al­ though nearly 1,000,000 women in the United States are household workers. We need more and we need better serv- SJ ants. The newly-landed immigrant t': - who has probably worked in the fields all her life, does not fill the bill. We want intelligent women in our houses who, if they do not know how already, are capable of learning how to perform household, worl: acceptably, and at no great outlay of time and experience. roSITIOXS OF LEISURE AND PROFIT. The talk about domestic service and Wip| ailing the privilege# of the worker ia all shoer nonsense. In all w»H-*ag- itedhouseholds the maid ha* fter weekly afternoon and evening out and her alternate Sunday. In almost every house these regular 'outings are Supple­ mented by otheM, so that her life is far from being the life of a prisoner, apd infinitely more free than that of the sewing-woman, who must make the most of every available moment or starve. Mistresses are generally kind and considerate if maids be cheerful and willing. Moreover, household work is healthful; it offers a diversity that is of itself a relaxation to mind and body; and, finally, it is better paid than any other branch of labor open to unedu­ cated workingwomen. Indeed, it is doubtful if many of the female teachers can save as much money as the domes- tie worker ia the course of the ywe. PUT TO DBABf BY THE SWORD. The Sncitiaa oftiiw Hardmed BotWl Plain Living. ; ^ , A lawyer by profession, but a judge in one of the highest courts in New York for twenty-three years, is noted for methodical habits, legal acumen and perfect integrity. Long past 60, erect and vigorous as a man of 40, he cannot count a day lost by sickness in a quarter of a century. At his post as regularly as the sun rises, after adjournment he writes out the opinions of the court, which already fill several large volumes. No man in the city is more worthy of the universal regard which he long since secured. Having long known Judge 'Blank, I once asked him the secret of his power. "Plain living," he replied, "has been my salvation. I was a nervous youth, high-strung and excitable. I smoked, drank occasionallv, and was given to rich food. Shortly after being admitted to the bar, I found myself the victim of dyspepsia. I began to study my habits and their influence on miud and body. I experimented with food, drinks, and exercise. The result was in fixing a rule of life \vhich I have since followed inflexibly. After a plain but sub­ stantial breakfast, 1 loiter about an hour or two and then walk to the court house, or a distance equal to three miles or more. Having previously had the room well ventilated, I stay in the building, occupied, except , an hour at noon, with rnv judicial duties. The other judges take a hearty lunch; I eat nothing. At 5 o'clock I am through for the 'day, and walk up town again. Bain or shine, cold or hot, finds me swinging my arms and plodding along in the same gait All legal work is dismissed as utterly from my mind as if I never knew Coke and Blackstone. I eat a hearty dinner; take no made dishes, no Worcestershire sauce or inflaming con­ diments, no pudding, pie, ice-cream, or custards, and drink no wine. I have a sense of comfort but not of repletion, feel no desire for intoxicating liquors, and make it a business to thoroughly digest my food, eaten twice a day, no more. I am frequently compelled to attend dinners, banquets, and festivals of every kind. But neither entreaty nor ridicule can induce me to change my habits. Even a dish of ice-cream cannot tempt me."--Good Housekeep­ ing. lite One-Horse Farmer. The one-horse farmer has a life-long ambition to gain a reputation for wear­ ing a dirty shirt He will alarm the neighborhood by getting up two hours before dav, then set around and not go to Vork till after sun-up. He will complain of hard times, then tear his pants climbing a fence where a gate ought to b& He will pay $3 for a new bridle, then let the calf chew it all to pieces before Sunday. He will get all his neighbors to help in getting a cow out of the bog, then let her die for the want of attention. Stock will get in and destroy his crop at a place in his fence that he has been putting off fixing for six months. He will sprain his back lifting some­ thing to show how strong lie ia He will talk all day Sunday on what he knows about farming, then ride round the neighborhood Monday, hunt­ ing seed potatoes. " He will go in his shirt sleeves on a cold day, to show how muoh he can stand, then return home at night and occupy two-thirds of the fire-place till bed time. He will ridicule the mechanism of a cotton planter and then go out and mash his thumb nailing a board on the fence. He will go to toifn on Saturday and come back with 50cents worth of coffee, a paper of pins, a dollar's worth of chewing tobacco and his belly full of whisky. He is economical; economy is his forte; he will save 10 cents' worth of axle grease and ruin the spindle of a $70 wagon. He won't subscribe for a newspaper but will borrow one from his friend and forget to return it--Navauota Taeblt. Punishing Children Sensibly. If parents were as sure of their children as the farmer is of his cab­ bages, there ought to be no doubt on this point, because the experieuce of the parent ought to indicate at once the proper treatment for the mental disor­ der, assuming that all wickedness is a mental disorder. But, as a matter of fact, how often do we punish on scien­ tific principles. If whipping is found to make Arthur an angel for several hours or days, the chances are that when Lilly comes upon the scene the efficacy of whipping will be so well established in the parents' minds that she will get a certain amount of whipping to no good, and that the failure of the punishment will be ascribed to stubbornness, which calls only for a double dose. Perhaps the following plan, which I adopted experimentally some time ago, may commend itself to some parents, even though I have no wonderful re­ sults to offer. In an old account book I have a few pages devoted to my chil­ dren ; in the part devoted to each child I note the offense under the proper date, the punishment adopted, or pun­ ishments if the first has not proved sufficient, and the results. For in­ stance, on such a day I find that Lilly, aged 4, got at tho shoe-blacking bottle, soiled her own hands and the baby's frock. Punishment: No cake at lunch­ eon. .Tears, but no expression of remorse. Twelve days later, according to the ledger, Lilly tried the polish bottle again; this time she was com­ pelled to wash her own hands until the last vestige of blacking had disap­ peared. It took her half an hour, and there is no record of a repetition of the oflense.--Philip 6. Hubert, in Baby­ hood. A NEW HAVEN paper is greatly shocked to learn that "of the entire population of the United States o- e in every 827 is in prison." It would be horrified beyond measure if it realized that at least one in every 413£ deserves to be in prison, and in all probability would be there if it were not the busi- pie Wi Preparations were made by insetting in the ground three bamboo crosses about two feet in length, to which the arms of the doomed men were to be tied, they sitting on' the ground, and three poles about six feet long upon which were to be placed the heads of the criminals, says Col. Jacbb Child, writing from Siam to the Richmond (Mo.) Conservator. This done the crowd was driven back. The doleful sound of a gong^jeating at short inter­ vals, the sudden hush of the crowd, told that the prisoners were approach­ ing, and in the center of a squad of soldiers and policemen they entered the place that had been reserved, about thirty feet square. The soldiers and rolicc formed in a square as a means of eeping the spectators back. A Siamese nobleman examined the crosses to see that everything was ready; the judges of the court were in attendance, escorted by attendants bearing swords in red velvet sheaths. The prisoners, three. in number (the king, who is very humane, having commuted the sentence of fourteen to imprisonment for life on his birthday), seemed perfectly cool and collected. They had each a long bamboo pole, some six feet in length, on their macks, in the front of which was an oval piece of wood through which their hands were placed, with chains on their necks and legs. In a short time the yokes and chains on their necks were taken off, and, as the ground was wet and muddy by the tramping of the crowd, large banana leaves were placed on the ground and they were ordered to squat down on them; then they were fastened to the crosses, the flowers and Bticks were stuck in the ground in front of them, the sticks lighted, and for a few min­ utes the victims of the law prayed most fervently in silence, they having been engaged in prayer at the wat about four hours previous to being brought to the place of execution. This over, mud was inserted in their ears so that they could not hear the executioners when they approached, and were instructed to lean forward and keep their eyes riveted on the flowers and burning sticks. While waiting the coming of the executioners the chief of the band of robbers smoked a cigarette, and it was only by the heaving of his chest that one could detect any emotion. All of a sudden the crowd parted, three execu­ tioners, dressed in red with gold fringe on their clothes, glided through the opening, dancing as they came, saluted with their shining swords, and on reach­ ing the prisoners the bright steel flashed in the air, you heard a thud, the head fell to one side hanging by a iece of skin, and the law was avenged. _ ith another salute the executioners disappeared; then a man with a sharp knife severed the heads and stuck them on the poles, a hideous sight, theq coolly chopped the hands of the dead men off so as to get the irons that were solidly riveted on, and the bodies were left on the ground for the vultures to 6&t or their friends to steal and give burial after nightfall. The heads were taken off simultaneously, so quick that* I could scarcely realize it, and it seems to me that death was instantaneous, save that the heads showed spasmodic action, the eyes and mouth opening and shut­ ting, which lasted for some time after being on the poles. The crowd in attendance was most orderly--not a drunken man to be seen, and entire silence prevailed--and when the execution was over, left the grounds without the least confusion, and there could not have been less than a thou­ sand present. The prisoners were old offenders; one of them, I was informed, having been implicated in fifteen rob­ beries and several murders. He was the chief, but had slipped through the meshes of the law repeatedly by the use of money; the others were younger men, and one of worthy parentage, but his money did not save him, as an example was needed to put a stop to outlawry, and it has done so for the robberies have ceased and the band is broken up. Japan. Mr. Kreitner, the Consumer Austria- Hungary at Yokahama, nas published in a Vienna journal an elaborate and interesting report upon Japan, from which we take a few extracts: The kingdom consists of 3,100 islands (in­ cluding the Kurile and Liu-Kiu groups), the vast majority of which are of sub­ marine volcanic creation, while only the four larger ones--i'esso, Niphon, Shikoku, and Kiusiu--have been de­ tached from the continent by depressions and inundations. The best harbors are: Matsmai and Hokadadi, in Yesso; ldsu, Yokohama, Schimidzu, Toba, Matoya, Nugata, Kobe, Nagoua, and Mttaroi, in Xinlion; Jackamatsu and Sanuki, in Shikoku; . Kagosima and Nagasaki, in Klus>!u. Fasi Yama, 12,- 200 feet in height, has been inactive since 1707, when a terrible eruption oc­ curred, spreading destruction far and wide; similar catastrophes are recorded to have happened at intervals of 170 years since 286 B. C., and it is a gen­ eral belief, therefore, that a fresh out­ break is imminent. Earthquakes, though frequent, never lose their terror; it is calculated that at least one entire town falls a victim to their rav­ ages every seven years, and in 1855 To"kio suffered the loss of 16,000 houses and an equal number of inhabitants. The difference of climate in the northern and southern isles is as great as that between Iceland and Sicily and though' nowhere is it absolutely inimical to the wealth of Europeans, yet its extreme humidity and mutability are a source oS serious discomfort. The coal mines are now worked on modern principles and with improved machinery. The output in 1881 was 700,000 tons. For­ eign vessels can always get a sufficient supply at Negasakif. The existence of petroleum has been known for cen­ turies, but began to be in use only fifty years ago. It would be of the very best quality if properly cleansed. In 1883, 1,360 new wells were opened, at depths varying from thirty to 300 yards. Mines are "Government property. They are let out to natives at high royalties, and are, moreover, subject to excep­ tionally heavy taxation. Foreigners are excluded from all participation in them except as engineers. Twas Ever Thu.

It is as> follows: When Napier was in India and on his conquering .tour in that subjected coun­ try, he was ordered not to take the city of Scinde, and he, overruling the or­ ders of his superiors, disobeyed them and took the city, and in sending word to Parliament of his action, wrote the above, and it was quite a pu/zle to the learned peers of England to ascertain the meaning of the all important mes­ sage, which is this: "Napier in dis­ obeying his instructions had sinned against his superiors, and in taking the city of Scinde he had Scinde." Thus the meaning of this, the most laconic dispatch on record.
