Seven bullet, said to have been cut out of the houses in Brownsville, into which they had been fired at the night of the shooting, were introduced in evidence before the committee, all properly identified. The amount of them were offered to Major Stockson on behalf of the council. The meeting of the council ordered that two of the bullets should be seized and sent to the medical surgeon. The committee selected seized bullets into the Yturria house and other into Cowen house, which it was taken by Major Stockson. The bullets were sent to the Geological Survey, and by the head of bureau, Dr. Smith referred to Phoof Wilson, and who is The double indentations on the shells showing that they had been inserted twice in guns, also provided that these shells were from Fort Niobrara, Nebraska, where when the guns were new and first fired in target practice, double insertion was at times necessary. But this difficulty had been en fierely deface by the time the battalion reached Brownsville. So that beyond any doubt the shells picked up in the streets of Brownsville were shell fired at Fort Niobrara, Nebraska, and were taken from a box of shells which company B had upon the rear of B barrack at Fort Browne and were accessible to all visitors of the Fort as souvenirs. Moreover, the manner in which these shells were picked up show ed conclusively that they had simply been placed there by some individuals interested in incriminating the soldiers in the shooting up, as the most of them were picked up in little groups from a foot to foot and twenty incher in diameter, when it has been proven conclusively that in ejecting these shells from the Springfield silice, the subjectile force throws from six to eight feet. ByF however, all this evidence was not sufficient to firmly establish before country the innocence of the soldiers. It reminded for the end of the investigation at the present time to clearly establish the fact beyond any reasonable ```markdown ``` This to gather with a number of other circumstantial evidences, led up to the microscopic report by the ordinance officers of the War Department which showed that some of the shells picked up on the streets of Brownsville fitted on which arm-chest was nailed and scared down under ten iron tanks was full of cosmolene oil, and had not been fired since the target practice at Niobrara. Neonaka which fort the colored soldered left to go to Bowasville. lived the soldiers did the bring, were amazed and nonplused at this analysis, tour other bullets were sent to the metalugist with the same result reached; that they were not government bullets in that they have anatimony when, according to the testimony in Gén. Crowzier, the government bullets have no testimony in them at all. Gen. Crowzier's testimony is borne out by the other experts; that the core of Springfield rifle bullet has consisted ever since March 1907 of one part tin to 36 parts lead and no antimony when the analysis of the bullets picked up in the houses in Browns ville shows lead 95.7. No apatamy, has ever been used in any bullet issued to the Army since 1894. Thus it is conclusively demonstrated that the bullets which were found at Brownsville in the houses were not, and are not, government bullets. This is conclusive by the government authority, and how could the shooting have been done by government soldiers if the ammunition is not government ammunition? The soldiers had no other and their guns would shoot no other. Could they have been shooting up the town in connection with the citizens? Such reasoning is preposterous and this lattest evidences conclusively demonstrates that the soldiers had no part whatever in the Brownsville affray. GILCHRIST STEWART, —Chicago Conservator.

NO.HUNT CLUB OFFERS REWARD WILL PAY $10 FOR EACH CONVICTED HUNTER ON LAND OF THE ASSOCIATED MEMBERS. The Anti-Trespass Association met in this city Saturday Dec., 21-and decided by unanimous vote to pay rewards of $10 each for the conviction of hunters violating the provision of the law, which has been so amended as to make posting unnecessary. At the meeting Saturday the following enrolled as new members: J B Johnson, J B Marsh, B W Gorrell, H Z Quisenberry, William Leicher, C F Hartenhaugh, H H Taylor, E Read, and Jesse Williams. Following is the section of the law under which hunters will be prosecuted for hunting upon the land of any number of this association; From the laws of Missouri. 1907 page 283, section 27: "It shall be unlawful for any person to hunt with gun or dog on the enclosed or cultivated land of another at any time with public consent of the owner or person in actual control of the property or hunting grounds." Negro Property Owners in Philadelphia. The Negroes of Philadelphia own 802 pieces of property valued at $2,438,673 each. The largest number of properties are valued between $1000 and $3000 and nearly three fourths of them are $3,000 and under. The highest single valuation is $29,000 and the lowest a lot for $75. Though the assessed valuation is supposed to approximate as nearly as possible the real value of the property, still after careful comparison, I am of the opinion that the above represents an investment of between four and a half and five million dollars by the Negroes concerned. Beyond the shore there are about forty church edifices owned by Negroes visited at from $1000 to $600,000. There are many Negroes who own real estate outside the city. There are many Negroes who own real estate outside the city. Two are known to the writer to have more than $25,000 worth of real estate in other places, while many others own a lot or small farm outside of Philadelphia. The largest individual Negro property holders in the city owns not less than 23 city houses assessed at from 9,000 to 18,000, and owns property also in New Jersey and Virginia. He was born in Virginia of slave parents and came to Pennsylvania after he was 21 years of age. He has steadily built up a good business and amassed a large amount of real estate, besides being financially interested in many of the business and industrial movements among the Negroes of the city.

For eleven years since 1896 the volume of money in the United States has been increased about $130,000,000 annually. The per capita has been increased from $21 to $33. With the increasing volume of money the business of the country has grown until last year the railways could not carry the freights, and the factories of our country were months behind with their orders, while the enhanced price of American products caused a large balance of trade in favor of the United States. The last few years the business of the country grew faster than the increase in the volume of money, and the gambling and speculation upon Wall Street crippled the Eastern banks. Therefore we are now confronted by a condition called "Financial Stringency" or scarce money. There are two ways to relieve it. First, by the increase in the volume of money. This has been attempted by the banks in issuing Clearing House Certificates and Cashier's Checks, and by the President of the United States in issuing bonds as a basis for National Bank circulation and interest notes. These remedies will assist in relieving the present financial situation. The Second is to restore confidence and prevent the money already in the from going into hiding, and bring out the money which for sometime has been hoarded. If this is accomplished, business will revive at once. If not we will soon hear the false cry of over production, which is heard always when money gets scarce so that consumption diminishes and the factories have to close or people cannot buy. The new state of Oklahoma has a law to go into effect February 17th by which the state guarantees to depositors the money deposited in their state institutions and in national banks which comply with the requirements of the law. Congress could stop the present financial stringency at once if it would. It could enact a law to guarantee to every depositor the amount of money deposited in any government institution and every state institution which would comply with the requirements of the law. It could place a small tax upon the deposits of these banks to reemburge the government for any actual loss occasioned by the guarantee. This would reduce bank failures to a minimum, as there never would be a run upon a bank backed by the United States government. I believe that such a law would be better than United States Savings Banks for it would put all of the money of the country where it could be used in carrying on the business of the country and make depositors just as safe. If letters were written to congress and the president of the United States and petitions circulated to this effect it would have a ten dency to do great good. S.A. HASELTINE.

Composed by J. HENRY ELLIS, B. D. The Vanishing Ante-Bellum Negro. The following Darlington, S. C. dispatch to The Charleston News and Courier conveys a vivid portrait of the ante-bellum type of Negro, familiar now a dawn only by its pathetic and exceptional rarity: "Dad" Brown, the old Negro "drummer," veteran of three wars, and faithful to his white friends throughout the yet more trying days which followed the greatest of these conflicts, was buried in Darlington yesterday, with military honors, the Darlington guards attending in full uniform, and taps being sounded and a salute over his grave. He had earned this tribute. "Dad" Brown's skin was dark, but his character was spotless in its white ness. He had long been a familiar figure in Darlington, especially at the annual reunion of the Confederate veterans. It was upon these occasions that old "Dad" was in his chiefest glory, and delighted him more than to hold alot his old drum stick while he told over and over again to his friends, the veterans, how he "captured 'em fumite vankees" at the battle of Second Manassas. "Dad" loved his "white folks;" the manner of his burial yesterday was eloquent of the esteem in which he was held by them. To such men as he was, race prejudice is, and always has been, a thing unknown. The last line of the dispatch is perhaps, its most significant. To such men as he was, 'race preduice is, and always has been a thing unknown.' However doctrinaries may contend over reason, the remains that the ante-bellum Negro, the product of the old system, constituted no problem in the section. He respected himself, but he respected the white people also. As long as he was able to work he was self supporting and cheerful and ungrumble in his task. He did not violently agitate his mind over political issues. Under a benign regime he had learned the lessons of life were thrift, industry, respect for constituted authority and faith in his Maker.

The Growth of Patriotic Societies Order of Chennai Founded by Revolutionary Officers—Crop of Society as the Result of Centen- nial in 1376 Refusal of "Sons or Revolution" to Accept "Daughter" — "Daughters" Sons Greatly Dumnumber "Sons" —Singular Rules for Both Are Democratic—"Colonial Dames" and Other Organizations. (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) However, Washington did consent to take the office, and the organization resists to this day, commanding the respect of all men and not conflicting with the best American spirit. Members in this society descends from the oldest son to the oldest son (women are barred), and the insignia, which is a golden eagle, cut clear, descends with the membership. In lieu of distinct descendants the title and insignia pass to the oldest son of the nearest branch of the family. The portraits and miniatures of many of the revolutionary officers display this badge of the Order of the Cincinnati as their greatest decoration. This, of course, was the father, so no speech, of all patriotic organizations. It is not, perhaps, widely known that a society was formed directly after the formation of the Cincinnati purpose to represent the very principles of which Washington was such a warm supporter—that is, the democratic as opposed to the aristocratic spirit in the country. This second society was known as the "Veteran Stars of Artillery." It, too, was composed largely of officers of the revolution and men who had made good records in that struggle. It never grew to such proportions war prominence as the Order of the Chancellor, though always highly regarded by those who understood it. It lives in combination with the society formed of the descendants of the heroes of 1812, the title being the Veteran Corps of Artillery and War of 1812. Therefore, this dual-organized organization has a membership composed of men descended from ancestors who fought in the two wars of 1776 and 1812. In a few instances the same ancestors fought in both. That was possible if the patriot enlisted in the revolutionary war in exile and lived to hardy manhood in eight in 1812. With the exception, however, of PAGE FOUR these two societies, formed in the early period of the country's history, all desire for such patriotic organizations seemed to die, until, as has been with the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of independence animated the seed of patriotic growth which has since flowed into this end of the new century into full and important blossom. Within the last few years well sight a count of number of organizations, bearing its significant of historic association have sprung into being. On these "The Sons" and "Banners" of the American Revolution are the most president and numerous in membership, in connecting the title "Sons and Daughters" the writer does that which the "Sons" themselves declined to do, the latter than exhibiting a lack of that "seeing visaee" which Du Maurier praised a princeess gift. In other words, the "Sons" did not foresee that a declination to receive the feminine descendants of revolutionary sires would deprive the society Sons of the American Revolution of an able, ardent and achieving element. Therefore it came about that the society Sons of the American Revolution, organized in 1889, exists as one organization and the Daughters of the American Revolution as another. With the true, clinging nature of women's hearts, the feminine descendants of the revolutionary patriarchs appealed to the Stons of the American Revolution to be taken within the protecting fold of the masculine rebel. The latter, however, displaced their collaborative institution and threw the women back upon their own body and their own resources. The result was then in October, 1800, when was was organized the method of the American Revolution. The growth and activity of the tattoo hobby was so exceptional that imprisonmentable blue wigs it not to be remembered that the spirit of the green who female and overcrowd in a nation" is the songs of their descendants, and women's enthusiasm, when awakened, outstrip all others and reaches, on flying feet, the goal of high endeavor. The Sonz of the American Revolution number several thousand—probably under 10,000. The Daughters of the American Revolution over 20,000. These revolutionary daughters, having made clear to ering man his mistake in refusing their gentle companionship, now entertain the most amiable feeling toward their brother society. The latter apparently reciprocates, and the two organizations being in perfect harmony, although under separate governments, have become a leaven of patriotism for the entire country. They are represented in every state, city and hamlet. All institutions of learning know them, from the public schools to the universities. All rostrums have welcomed them, from the old-time town meeting to the great assemblages in fashionable hallis. Historic spots no longer lie neglected, but are crowded with lasting granite and immutable bronze. The heroes who spilled their blood upon the soil, then consecrated by that red libation, no longer sleep in unknown or forgotten graves. "Their children rise up and call them blessed," and their country is relaunched by the proud memories of their marvelous prowess. Eligibility in either of the above-mentioned organizations rests upon lineal descent from one who served his or her country during the revolution, whether in the army or on the high seas or in giving "material aid" to the infant government. Descent from an officer does not necessarily figure in either society. Descent from a private, unknown save by his name and a record of unflinching service to his country, entitles one to the same regard as though descended from captain, colonel or bigadier general. Thus a truly American spirit is conserved. Besides the Sons of the American Revolution and the Daughters of the American Revolution, there is a society of the Sons of the Revolution and one of the Daughters of the Revolution. The former claim to have been formed prior to the Sons of the American Revolution. It is a mooted question. It is a fact, however, that the Daughters of the Revolution are an offshoot from the parent society, the Daughters of the American Revolution. In addition to the societies already named there exist a multitude of organizations of a patriotic nature, each having as an incentive the same loyal purposes toward its native land. Those best known are the masculine society Founders and Patriots and a feminine society of the same name. To be eligible to membership in either of these one must be descended from ancestors who assisted in founding the country during its colonial period and were indubitably loyal to our own government during the revolution. The two well-known organizations of colonial dames—one the Colonial Dames of America, the other the National Society of Colonial Dames—were from the organizations just mentioned in that eligibility to membership consist in a descent from one who was prominent in the colonial period, but who was not of necessity, though it is presumed preferably, a patriot during the revolution. A society closely allied to this, whose membership consists entirely of mof, is known as the Society of Colonial Wars. Eligibility consists in descent from one who served in the wars during the colonial period of the country, such as the French and Indian war. The United States Daughters of 1812 is a society founded upon descent from ancestors, prominent in the country from 1783 and from those who served in the war of 1812. This brief account of the birth and growth of patriotic societies barely touches upon their excellent achievement; but this is manifestly true: The spirit of devotion to the nation, developed by each organization, is the "outward, visible sign" which unitedly follows such "inward spiritual grace" and causes the existence of such organizations to be a matter of felicitation to the entire country, and the United States is surely proud of its sons and daughters and they in turn are ready to lay their best abilities, whether in peace or war, upon the altar of their country's liberty. THE WAY OF LOVE. And Nothing' Mattered So Long as They Were United. Once upon a time there was a man who fell in love with a woman. And they were married. After a while the bills came in and the man sat around and thought about them. Then he went to his wife and said: "Dearle, can't you go a little slow?" And his wife replied: "Alas! I never learned how. I fear that I am naturally extravagant. I don't mean to be, but I am. Tell me that you love me." "I love you," replied the man. After a while the stork said a friendly visit. When the excitement was over and things quieted down, the man took note of certain things that were happening. The servants wouldn't say. The baby was either overfed or underfed. The spirit of Earmony had slipped out. And the man sat around and thought about it some more. Then he went to his wife and said: "Dearie, there's something wrong with our domestic oeconomy. Things ought to be different. The house can't run right. Things are not done calmly or systematically. Can't you—" His wife shook her head. "I don't know how," she replied. "I never had much order. I can't help it, but—do you love me?" "I love you more and more," replied the man. And after another while the woman grew to be an invalid. She refused to take care of herself, and became morose, irritable and incapable of doing much of anything. And one day, as the man sat and thought, she came to him and said: "Dearest, I have been a failure. I'm thoroughly incompetent. I haven't done what I should have done. I have been lamentably weak. Aren't you, honestly now, sorry that you married me?" "No," said the man. "But I am a failure. You ought to be so sorry. Why aren't you sorry?" And the man smiled as he replied: "Because, sweetheart, if I hadn't married you I never could have loved you as much as I do now."—The Reader. Revolution in China. It is reported that the revolutionary movement in China is gaining strength and that secret organizations are increasing in number, especially in the Yangtse valley. Chinese officials say that thousands of revolutionists are concealed in the foreign quarters of the cities, thus placing themselves outside the jaridiction of the Chinese courts. The revolutionary agitation recently was carried into the army. Murderous plots against the Manchus continue to be discovered in Pekin. Her Vaulting Ambition. "The height of my ambition," said the woman who hasn't always had to work but 'has to now, "is to make so much money that I won't have to recognize every piece of lingerie I possess. I want to have so many pieces of everything that I can take up, say a skirt to put it on, and won't know it is more expensive than now." The Industrial Status of Women Women of the Past Busy and Useful Manufacturers—Occupations of Women Gradually Replaced by Inventions—Public Opinion Jeered at Women Thrust from Their Proper Sphere—How the Woman's Right Movement Has Increased the Opportunities—Average Woman's Wages Never So High as Now. (Copyright by Joseph B. Bowles.) A study of the stupendous movements of progress in the last century cannot fail to thrill the student with wonder and admiration and to convince him knew that there is a "divinity which shapes our ends." No changes accomplished in that wonderful hundred years are more permanent or far-reaching in effect than those in the industrial status of women and none demonstrates more clearly that the indirect results of great movements may sometimes equal direct results in importance and helpfulness. There was never a distinct movement to extend industrial opportunity to women. It came instead as the unpredicted but inevitable result of two parallel lines of progress, apparently quite unrelated to each other. One of these was the remarkable commercial evolution of the last century, initiated and developed by a succession of inventions which revolutionized methods of manufacture and gradually replaced household industries by factory products; the other is well known as the woman movement. At the beginning of the century money was scarce and hard to get. The main problem of every family was how to supply its needs without the use of money. The family households solved it very satisfactorily by growing nearly every product, and by agriculture furnished the chief source of income of a majority of the people of the United States it was a matter of comparative ease to bring the family needs within the possibilities of its own production. In those days of simplicity wheat and corn were ground into flour and meal at the village mill, the miller keeping a portion by way of toll or pay. Butter and cheese were made in nearly every home. Meat was provided by the family because of animal reared by the family, for the purpose, and a system of communication with neighbors made possible a continued fresh supply. Tea and sugar were practically the only articles to be purchased at "the store." Many families used maple sugar only, which they produced themselves or secured by exchange. The history of the evolution demonstrated that housewives upon occasion could content themselves with "herb tea," and undoubtedly the less prosperous continued to use it whenever money was not forthcoming to purchase the real article. In these simple ways, nearly every family was enabled to provide its own table with all necessities and many comforts without the use of money. The family clothing was likewise provided by home industry. All farmers and many villagers had their patch of flax, which the skilled fingers of the housewife turned into snowy linen and then fashioned into undergarments for the family, bedclothing and table linen. Nearly every family raised a few sheep as well, and the housewife wove the wool into cloth which she manufactured into outer garments for the whole family. The average woman not only made her own clothes but all those of her husband and children. The women spun wool as well, and the gentle click of their needles was the inevitable accompaniment to conversation as they knitted it into stockings, mittens, hoods and wraps. During the year the village shopmaker visited the family and manufactured shoes for all its members, the skins of animals killed for meat having been preserved and tanned for his use. In the spring the women made "soft soap" from scraps of grease accumulated during the winter, reducing it with lye made from wood ashes; and in the fall they manufactured starch from potatoes, and thus supplied the needs of the laundry. They made "tallow dips" which served as the only lights most families had. A comfortable substitute for matches was found in the homemade paper lighters. Beds were supplied with generous feather beds and pillows filled with feathers plucked from the family gesee. The covers were often elaborately and skillfully "placed" with bits of cloth, and the quiltings were among the most popular social functions of the day. The few needs of the family which could not be supplied by home labor were satisfied by the exchange of farm products. It was in this way the subscription to the country newspaper and the contribution to the minister's salary were paid. All thrify and well-trained women of the period were manufacturers and lived busy, useful lives. The happiness and welfare of the family were far more dependent upon their skilled accomplishments and untiring labor than upon the work of men. However every family was a cooperative society, each laboring and producing for the common welfare, and there was little time for idleness for men, women If apistaster or wilwet was compelled to take up her abode with a male relative as was the custom of the day, she was not necessarily forced to suffer the humiliation of dependence, since a skilled woman in any household could far more than pay for her own keeping. Women were happy and contented in the useful sphere defined for them by the conditions of the times. However, this simplicity of living was destined to be displaced by a far more complicated system and the well-established sphere of women to be ruthlessly destroyed in consequence. The successful cultivation of cotton in the south and the succession of inventions which made its manufacture at the north a tempting enterprise to capital soon placed quantities of cotton cloth upon the market. Those who did not produce their own linen bought cotton, and it soon became fashionable. The household weaver of linen became ambitious to weave in the public factory, and little by little the manufacture of linen as a household industry was lost. The improved machinery for the manufacture of woolen cloth encouraged the establishment of woolen factories as well. At first farmer carried their wool to these factories receiving in return the woven cloth while the manufacturer kept a portion of it in payment for the service performed. The improved texture of the factory cloth soon established its popularity and made it fashionable. The next step followed naturally. The farmer sold his wool for money and with money bought his cloth; thus the household manufacture of woolen cloth was likewise driven from the home. Fifty years after the invention of the knitting machine the factories were not only knitting the stockings and mittens of the nation but its undergarments as well. The sewing machine was invented in 1846 and was a helpful assistant to women in the manufacture of clothing at home; but 50 years later it had become the center of a large factory enterprise and a very large proportion of men's tailoring, shirts, collars, cuffs and women's muslin underwear, wrappers and cloaks were produced in the factory, while each year women's gowns were manufactured there in increasing quantities. One by one the occupations of women disappeared from the home to reappear in the factory and under the magic touch of capital to produce fortunes of a magnitude not dreamed of in the early days of American simplicity. Gas and electricity took the place of the tallow dips. Cheap soap reinforced the home-made articles, and small bottles arranged up all over the kitchen of the manufactory. The use of tallow and cheese was the main ingredient and base of the manufacture because fermentation was so entirely relegated to the factory that western farmers now sell oceans and buy butter. Bread, cakes, and pies are produced in fabulous quantities by the bakeries. Cannerless without number prepare the choicest fruits and vegetables in a variety of ways for immediate use, while every culinary achievement of our grandmothers, from their every-day baked pork and beans to their holiday plum pudding, is reproduced with cleverness by the modern factory. In fact there was no accomplishment of the old-time housewife which has not now become a market community and women in consequence have lost their ancient sphere of usefulness. The disappearance of the household manufactures from the home greatly lightened the labor of women but introduced a new problem. The necessities which have been produced by home labor could only be had in the public market and money alone could buy them. To meet the new demand a greatly increased family in come became necessary and the man of the family were not always able to provide it. It was as natural as it was logical for women to conclude to set their industrial services and with the wage they earned to purchase the comforts they had lost when the home in dustries passed into the factory. Undoubtedly women, and especially unmarried women, would have entered very generally into the field of wage earner, in obedience to these natural laws, had not restrictive influences tended quite as strongly to keep them within the home. There existed an almost unanimous belief that woman's sphere could only be found within the walls of her home. Public opinion to not infrequently as binding as law and the bitterness with which this opinion was upheld visited unbeatable criticism upon many women worker. They were dubbed indelicate and were made to feel that they were outcasts from all good opinion. Nothing but poverty served to pardon their offense. The positions open to women were few and these pitifully remunerated. As late as 1840 Harriet Martineau visited the United States and found seven occupations only open to women—teaching, needlework, keeping boarders, working in cotton factories, type-setting, bookbinding and household service. The daughters of none but the poor could afford to attend public opinion for the sake of a paltry wage in a menial vocation; nor could men endure the salaries of wit which were in store for those who could not support their womenfolk. Men labored the harder to meet the new responsibilities of enlarged income and women accepted the leisure the absence of household industries brought with varying degrees of satisfaction. women in the white collar to chief petition. The business destroying the prejudice was stricted the freedom of women department of the in office of the new movement to give sentiment to a proper of the economic truth that has the same right as a man her industrial services in a market to the highest bidder same right to develop them to the highest possible value over, it, was necessary to a woman could perform such that she possessed install group new work and the business reliability. The could only be proved by a and employers were not a experiment. Leaders of the rights movement attacked the conservatives and through every avenue them petitioned the public women the right to try new work. Here and there liberal-minded employers were convinced far enough to give women an opportunity to demonstrate their fitness or unfitness, and here and there women were found have enough to accept employment. The woman on trial demonstrated the wisdom of the experiment, and increasing numbers were born. The old prejudices had to be eradened with each industry by women, but with the use of women living them into the work upon—the one hand and woman's right movement demand fair play upon the other, the trial status of women made right progress. The civil war gave the movement a new impetus and ending from its close prejudices began to disappear and the public to respect where it had once condemned. Undoubtedly the conditions of foreign countries would obtain in the United States had it not been for the heroic efforts of the woman's rights movement to elevate the status of women. It made bold claims for equality of rights between men and women in education, industry, religion and politics. Society made constant concessions to its demands and the woman wage earner was the happiest beneficiary. The first stores which employed women were boycotted by customers and the women clerks were shunned by old friends. Now the great department stores of the cities are very largely served by women clerks. However, many new occupations have been created by the popular adoption of new inventions and if men have been created to work in the department stores The work of women in the United States has furnished well-paid职位的 to thousands of girls, and have prevented the lowering of wages in shops and stores which would otherwise have been called upon to furnish them with employment. The work of women has not reduced wages, the average wage of men being higher in the United States at this time than at any previous time. The average woman's wage has also gradually but certainly risen and was never as hils as now. Whenever the trades unions have accepted women in full membership the competition between men and women workers has ceased and there has been no consequent disadvantage to men workers. In fact, the liberal trades unions have proved the best friends of the workingwoman. In trades where women compete with each other and especially where no organization for self-defense exists wages are low and employment uncertain. In trades where men and women compete with each other without organization the industrial status of both men and women is unstable and wages fluctuating. At the beginning of the last century the wage-earning work of women was of such slight importance that the census classified it with that of children. It has become an important industrial factor, which must be reckoned with in every economic problem. At the beginning they were driven to labor by necessity. The same necessity still forces them to work, but a new motive has been made possible by the evolution of the century. They are now inspired to seek high vocations and to do better work by the knowledge that they have the God-given right to work. No prejudice can now drive women out of the world's workshop. If one may prophesy as to their industrial future, it would seem safe to predict that the present lines of development will be followed until in each vocation occupied by men and women there will be "equal pay for equal work." "The survival of the fittest" will settle the question of competition between men and women and eventually each sex will be adjusted to the work it can do best. Hibernating Bats Hibernating Rats. Nearly all bats have the faculty of hibernating. Their hibernation, however, is not perfect—that is to say, that when the warm days occur in the middle of winter they wake up, together with the insects which are their food. Still there is a true hibernation trace, differing from sleep, with very low rate of pulse, heart beat and respiration. Probably they would贮 deep immersion in water for an hour or two without drowning, as hibernators have been found to do. These Dear Girls Nell—See my new engagement dear? Dear? Isn't it a beauty?
