ly?they tend to monopolise and depre
ciate. Ixx>k at the career of women
in the public schools. They have driven
men out of the primary and grammar
grades, they are taking the place of
men successfully ss principals, and in
the high schools they are dolQg three
fourths of the teschlng. A few years
more and women would practically
have driven men out of the New York
public achool system. A whole craft
would have been closed to men. Every
such closing of a line of business by
women takes the positions away from
men, makes the struggle for existence
sharper here and the possibility of
earning a decent living harder. It Is
time to call a halt."
That the domestic and social ststns
in this country^ Is likely to undergo a
tremendous change within the next
thirty or fifty years if women coutinue
to compete with men in the professions
and industries is clear. Many good
people have lain awake o* nights trying
to discover what the effect of all this
would be on the women. But few,
except those Immediately touched,
have been much concerned'over what
changes might be working in the con
dition of the man whose place, in many
instances, the wage earning woman
has usurped.
I'lace aux dames! Whoever said
that first was probably thinking of
nothing more momentous than a co
tillon or an argument. But the Ameri
can Is a sincere respector of his wom
ankind, and he has translated It Into
terms of business.
Every year sees the procession of
wage earners growing greater. Every
June sees hundreds of young women
graduated from schools, academies and
colleges to take their places as teach
ers, librarians, architects, farmers,
bookkeepers, and so on. Not a few
of theso are obliged to support them
selves, or have a father, mother or
family of younger brothers end sisters
dependent on them. But o great many
work because they want to be finan
cially independent. Since women be
gan to turn the cold shoulder on matri
mony and the bachelor girl emerged
into a type, the ranks of the woman
wage-earner have been still further
augmented. Add to ail these the
wives who, for some period of their
married life, are compelled to work to
eke out their husband's earnings, and
all the widows who are left without
means of support, and it Is seen how
tremendous Is the volume of feminine
competition against which man has to
combat
According to the last census, 06.1
per cent, of the 24.20R.162 women over
fifteen years old In the United Btatea
are unmarried. In New York State
the percentage of single women is 83.7,
and, speaking generally. It Is the North
Atlantic division. Including the New
England States, New York, New Jer
sey and Pennsylvsnla, which has the
highest percentage of spinsters.
How many of these are gain-earning
workers cannot be stated, but Miss
Doheny, chaplain of the Young Wom
an's Cbrlstlsn Association in this city,
says that fourteen years ago, when she
looked! Into the matter, she calculated
that outside of domestic service there
were 350,000 working women In New
York City, Confronted by these tre
mendous figures, the New York man
may well ask himself: "What is going
to become of me?" Unless he is a
banker, Government official, profes
sional man, captain of industry or
mechanic, he probably would do best
to trek out West, where mining, agri
culture and ranching continue to oc
cupy a large proportion of the male
population, and where, consequently,
the danger arising from the competi
tion of women Is small.
It Is where large populations are
massed together, where trade and
manufactures flourish snd a complex
and more or less artificial civilisation
exists that women becomes a menace
industrially.
As yet the man minister, lawyer and
physician are pretty sure of their Joba.

often fall to the lot of tbe working

"On the other hand." said a fond
believer In the Induatrlal Independence
of women, "sec how contact with the
world Is developing tbe American
woman. She Is now a part of the hu
man race, and no longer,* as Grant
Allen expressed It. 'not even half tbe
race, but a sub-species, told off for re
production merely.' Women are set
ting up ss proprietors of laundries,
bakeries, photograph studios; as bee
keepers, seedsmen, nurserymen, book
binders, designers of jewelry, furni
ture and arts and crafts srtlcles. wood
carvers, violet formers, mushroom
farmers, canners and preservers, and
so on through a long list. In these
they do not lessen the esrnlng capacity
of man or crowd him out. There le
always room for a woman with bralne

herself, but the country. There is nc

Nor ought there to be. If man allows
himself to be shoved to the well,
it oi\ly serves him right. He would be

THE AFRICAN SPIDER TREE*
Extraordinary PImI Whlrb Grows Oat
Foot High la a (katiry.
One of the most curious plants In
the world Is one described by trav
elers recently returned from tbe Cape
Negro colony, a little known region of
Africa, and called the spider plant,
soys the Chicago Chronicle. These
travelers often heard from the natives
of a plant that was part spider, and
that, growing, threw its legs about in
continual struggles to escape. It was
the good fortune of Dr. Welwitsch to
discover tbe origin of the legend. Stroll,
lng along through a wind swept table*
land country, be came upon a plant
that rested low upon the ground, but
had two enormous leaves tbnt had
twisted about It in the wind like ser
pents; In fact. It looked as tbe natlvca
bud said, like a gigantic spider.
ita stem was four feet across and
but a foot high. It had but two leaves
in reality, that were six or eight feet
long, and split up by the wind, s'*
that they resembled ribbons. Thin It
probably the most extraordinary tree
known. It grows for nearly, if not
quite, a century, but never upward be
yond c foot, simply expanding until
It reaches the diameter given, looking
in its adult state like a singular stool
on the plain from ten to eighteen feet
In circumference.
When the wind came rushing In
from the sea, lifting the curious rlbr
bon like leaves and tossing thcin about.
It almost seemed to the discoverer that
the strange plant bnd suddenly become
imbued with life nnd was struggling
to escape. When a description and
picture of the plant were sent to Eng.
land it was, like many other diseov?
erics, discredited, but soon the plant
Itself was received, and now Welwlt>

Two Interesting Inscriptions.

is a bronze tablet bearing this In

And beside another road only a few
miles distant Is another tablet, on
which these words are inscribed: "Na

"One of the first lessons I fearncd."
writes Mr. Whitney, **was to keep my

circumstances. It makes me smile now

"The most trying hour In the tweniy
four was at the camping time in the
afternoon. The lire furnished ' no
warmth; It was not built for that pur
pose; It was simply to boll the tea
and perhaps an idea of its sise can be
given by saying that by the time the
snow In the kettle luid melted into
water and the water begun to boil the
fire was exhausted.
"Having drunk the ten. we rolled u;?

"Sleep never came until the doge

the dogs poured Into the tepee. There

was more miserable than this, when
these half-starved brutes fought over

"In extremely cold wenther a dog

A Discovery In Rome.
rfignor Giacomo, the famous archae
ologist. who is directing the excava
tions of the Romnn Forum, made re.
cently what is considered the greatest
discovery of many years. He caiuo
upon a place whgre there was an
?l*ar dedicated to Marcus Curtius,
the patriotic Romnn youth, who iu 3tL'
B. C? to placate the gods, jumped,
completely arined on horseback, int/
a^ chasm which l.ad opened in ths
Forum, and which the soothsayers
declared could not be filled except by
the sacrifice of the chief wealth or
strength of the Itoman people. After
Curtius' sacrifice, tradition saj's, the
chasm immediately closed up. The
orifice of the chasm found by Slgnor
Boni Is formed by twelve large stones
roughly sculptured. The archaeologist
also found a hole which contained sac
rifices made In later years to young
Curtius on t!ic altar. The great im
portance of the discovery lies in the
fact that It confirms an event which
many historians looked upou as mytb
*?al.
The Italian na a Fanner.
If you ask me If the Italian is a good
farmer, I can only reply that he goes
to work at the crack of dawn, quits
with the darkened shades of evening,
and If the moon shines he works a
few hours at night, and his children
work with him. The German Is steady
and frugal, the Frenchman impulsive
and active, the Irishman everything
that goes to human credit, the Scotch
man stock and stolid, yet honest and
conservative; but from a land tllllug
standpoint, froih the point of deslrs
of the love of a home and the willing
ness to make it by the sweat of the
brow, I see no reason why the Italian
now In the South does not compare
favorably with any one of thein.?

ous uncertainty of the thing, the push
ing into the unknown, which formed
the lure. Have you ever considered
that nine of ten among those who went
with I?e Soto and Balboa and Corona do
and Cortes ond Plzarro, If asked by
some quiet neighbor, would have re
fused him the loan of one hundred
dollars unless secured by five-fold the
value? And yet the last man jack
would peril life and fortune blindly
In n voyage to worlds unknown, for
profits guessed at, against dangers
neither to be counted nor foreseen.
There are men reckoned shrewd In
business whose business can be over*
come by ciphers. It is as though they
were wise up to seven figure*. Mr.
Harley was of these; he had bis boun
daries. His instincts were solvent,
his policies sound, his suspicions full
of life and courage, so that you wenl
no higher than nine millions. Bur
dened beyond that, his Imagination
would break down; and since his ln>
stincts, his policies and his eusplcloni
rested wholly upon his imagination,
when the latter fell the others must oi
need go with It* There Is a depth to
money Just as there is to a lake; when
you led Mr. Harley In beyond the nine
million dollar mark he began to drown.
Declined the Nomination.
The statement is often made that no
man ever declined a Domination for
President. A convention of the Aboil*
tlonist party was held In New York
City In November, 1847, and nominated
John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, foi
President, and Leicester King, of Ohlo>
for Vice-President. Mr. nale declined
the nomination and the ticket wat
abandoned. In 18f>2 the Free Sol)
Democratic party held a national con>
ventlon in Pittsburg and nominated
Hale for President He accepted and
at the election received 100.140 votei
in twenty States. ^ '
St. Louis Conventions.
With apparent Justification, at least
for this year, St. Louis Is claiming to
be the leading convention city. Two

Mrs. Anderson, a prominent society
woman of Jacksonville, Fla., daughter of
Recorder of Deeds, West, who witnessed
her signature to the following letter, praises
Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"Dun Mu PnnEHAsc: ? There are but few wives and mothers who
hare not at times endured agonies and such pain as only women know.
I wish such women knew the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any
I ever knew and thoroughly reliable.
* I have seen cases where women doctored for years without perma
nent benefit, who were cured in less than three months after taking your
Vegetable Compound, while others who were chronic and incurable
came out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment
with this medicine. I have never used it myself without gaining great
benefit. A few doses restores my strength and appetite, and tones up
the entire system. Your medicine has been tried and found true, hcnce
I fully endorse it."?Mrs. R. A. Anderson, 225 Washington St- Jock'
?onville, Fla.

"Dear Mrs. Pixkiiam:?I feel it my difty
to write and tell you the pood 1 Lave received
from Lydi? E. Pink ham's Vegetable Com*
L pound.
u I have been a great sufferer with female
f trouble, trying different doctors and medicines
with no benefit. Two years ago I went under
an operation, and it left me in u very weak
condition. I had stomach trouble, backache,
headache, palpitation of the heart, and was very
nervous; in fact, I ached all over. I find
t yours is the only medicine that reaches
^ such troubles and would cheerfully rec
ommend Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to all suffering women."
When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weak*
?, leuuorrhaea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-dowa
feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility,
indigestion, and nervous prostration, they should renumber there is one tried
and true remedy. Lydla E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound at onot
removes such troubles.
The experience and testimony of some of the moat noted
women of America po to prove, beyond a question, that Lydla B.
Pink ham's Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble at
once by removing the cause and restoring the organs to a healthy
and normal condition. If in doubt, write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn*
Mass, as thousands do. Her advice is free and helpful.
No other medicine for women in the world has received such wide
spread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a
record of cures of female troubles, ltcfuse to buy any substitute.
