Women as Printers.
The New York Sun says that printing
is not a trade in which a woman r
can hold her own with a man on equal \ I
terms, that the trade is too wearisome, (
too unhealthy and in other ways un-|i
suited for women and that the number jt
of women compositors is on the tie-, ^
i crease. i i
The Woman's Tribuxk will 1 >e 4
glad to have communications on tlusji
point and see if there is any fourula-j
tion for these statements. They do; t
not at all concide with the experience s
of this paper, which has mostly cm-j
* ployed women compositors ana inisii
found them in every way adapted to f
the business The only persons who t
have ever left the case from sickness s
or even headache have been men. j i
The young woman who is foreman of. i
the office has worked at the trade sev-j I
en years and has never lost an hour's
from sickness. In general it will he u
found that in offices controlled by wo- t
men. where tobacco smoking is not al-; f
lowed and ventilation is permitted,it
young women keep not only well but j 1
retain the beauty and sparkle of vigor- 1
ous health; while women who have to, t
[ work in the foul air usually found in
I printing offices doubtless are not able] I
to stand i? as well an men do. Theji
fault is not in the trade but in the con-11
L ditions under which it is practiced. |<

I have been teaching iu the public e
s-chools leu years under a very poor t
school system. In 1888 and 188!) I was!,
a candidal: for the office of County1,
School Commissioner in this county,\
and was defeated both times by the1 [
managers of eleciious and a few other J,
j individuals against the will of the ina-j {
jority of the people. Surely in no civ-j t
ilized land the children are in a more it
I . deplorable state of iguorance than thel;
poor white children of the South. L

months by subscription induce tbe,|
majority of teachers to neglect most of t
the children that are in the greatest t
need of the public schools and devote; v
their time to the few. Our govern- U
ment is giving large sums of money J \
for the civilization and education of ]
many inferior races while the children c
of their own race and government are i \
^ entirely ignored and most miserably jj,
neglected. Even the colored race here [
at the South are receiving far more at- j j
tention, as to education, than the ]
. white race, for they are gaining the!
most benefit from the public schools, j
besides the large donations by North-J
' enters for their benefit alone. It
seems but just and reasonable for the'
colored race to be educated, yet at the j
same time it seems that a proper re- i^
gard should be had for the many poor;1
white children of the South who?e!l
parents are not able to help them. 1 !j
merely make these statements to call j
the attention of the many loyal liberal!'
persons to the most needful duty of j1
our government, the proper education ,
of the masses. It is true a most liber-;'

The tendency to lop the ear varies
; much in different animals. Rabbits
lop their ears after a comparatively
short period of domes!ication, and
with the exception of dogs are almost
the only lop eared animals in Europe
and America, but in oriental countries
all the domestic animals are more or
less lop eared, a fact which suggests
k that they have been much longer under
domestication than their congen^
ers in Christendom.

FoKEKiN BODIKS IN THK EYE.?A
surious popular delusion it is which
eacbes that a particle of dust or cinler
blown into an eye by the wind
nay best be removed by rubbing the
in injured eye. Many have found by
xperience that rubbing the unaffected
;ye is quickly followed by relief of
mill in, and rapid recovery of, the
tHer eye; wiine ruouing me organ
nto which the sliarp particle has
down usually results in increased
)ain and discomfort. This apparent
>roof by experience is negatived by
he experience of those who rub neihereye,
but simply wait, with theinured
eye quietly closed, until the
ears wash out the offending mote.
l hi?is the philosophy of the eure. If
he eye is rublK'd, the shatp-edged
mrticle is embedded by pressure in
he conjunctiva or cornea and cannot
>e removed by the flow of tears due to
he irritation of its contact. If thepaient,
however, will content himself
vith simply closing his eyelids with
he eyes rolled downward, the flow of
ears will in a few moments carry the
ittle particles of dust outside of the
lonjunctival sac. Hence it is that
vhile he occupies his meddlesome tinkers
with rubbing the well eye, he alows
the painful eye to cure itself by
ihysiological therapeusis.?Dr. J. li.

Hcalt.li a Duty.
"How many mothers have taught
their daughter* that health is a duty?
How many are taught to be ashamed
of a headache, or a backache, a narrow
chest or round shoulders, or how to
avoid each or all of these ! A recent
writer has f>aid that a mother ought to
blush for these defects quite as much
or more than s>he would if they did
not know how 10 read or write."
I wonder if the day will ever dawn
when this mode of thought shall prevail.
If so, then there will be a generation
of beautiful women, of women
able to bear their part in life, to be and
do what their Creator designed.
I heard a gentleman say that the
only way to bring about a temperance
reform was to begin with the children
by educating them up to a standard of
right. Though much may be done in
this way, I cannot believe that it is
the only way. I think that while this
is in progress much may be accomplished
by other methods, but in the
matter of bringing about an improvement
in the race, we must begin as
near the root of the trouble as possible.
Our children were bora with diseased
bodies, the result of broken health
laws, these the result of our own ignorance.
Jiut now, if our eyes are opened,
let us try to teach our daughtcis
that it is a woman's duty to be well.
How else may she perform the various
duties assigned by her Creator !
"Even (iod is hindered in his workings
in a diseased body, for morbid
conditions of the physical being bring
corresponding morbid states of the
mental and spiritual life."
There is les's excuse for ignorance of
physiological laws now than there
was even a score of years ago. It is
not now considered immodest 10 be
informed upon this subject. Less
than ten years ago I was trying to impress
upon the mind of a young lady
,.f > ,1> iri-i/il/xri ! n 1 vlllilv
nit; uii|nn uui^c wi i'*lj ^ .
She turned up her pretty nose and declared
that she did not want to know
about those things. She did not consider
it proper. lam glad that such
foolish notions of false modesty are becoming
stale, that common sense is
grounded in the minds of young people.
it is the duty of mothers to foster
their inclination by every means
in her power.
It cannot be done wholly by precept.
If we talk to them of the necessity ?f
good health, and act as though everything
else was of more importance,
our teaching will not avail, lie what
you would have your child to be,
touches a parent's experience at every
point. They will be what you arc
whether you wish it or not. One writer
says : "What you would your child
to be to you, be yourself to G'od. Js not
this a grand thought, and does it not
make the way very plain ? Faith and
Godliness are said to be the best preservers
of health. We must teach
hem by practice and precept that it
should be their continual study to be
pure bodily and spiritually."
The prattling little creatures at our
knee are to be the mothers of the next
generation. J)o we covet for them
such an experience as this? "How
many a tired and overburdened mother
has sent her husband to the ottice
or the store and the children to pchool
soured for the day by her irritable

has wept tears of anguish over what
she could not seem to help. With
dyspepsia and attendant evils conies
the loss of a sweet disposition. There
is irritability, fretfuluess, impatience,
often resulting in harsh, unkind
words and wrong acts. Now if she
had been taught that health is her
first duty, she would study to know
the causes of her nei vousness and inability
and abandon everything likely
to develop these conditions.
Then let us incite our daughters to
:he study of the law of health. Let
1 us strive to impress upon their minds
j that it is a woman's duty to be well,
that hygienic living is of the utmost
impoitame at.d that a disregard of
these things is the cause of much of
the world's misery.?Mrs. Susan K.

and vanquished by the puniest
of antagonists. The Colossus n>et his
fate when he tackled the cigarette. A
brief history of the struggleruay serve
to point a moral and convey a warning.
Wu'rishofler gradually drifted
into the habit of inveterate smoking.
He smoked fifty cigarettes a day, inhaling
the smoke all the time. Years
ago Woerishotter saw danger ahead.
His head, heart, stomach and nerves
remonstrated, protested, and begged
him to change his course. In their
agony they cried out against the fiendish
cigarette and denounced it. Colossus
grinned sardonically. When he
got ready he would down the cigarette
and not before. Slowly but surely the
coils of smoke twined around their
victim, tightening their grip each day.
The man's heart turned into a big
sponge saturated with nicotine. Still
the smoker continued the fight. He
would lie down when too feeble to
stand and smoke, while his heart beat
at the rate of one hundred and twenty
a minute, lie said ; "I have a CJeiman
stomach, an American head; I
am equal to anything." At last he her
came alarmed. To his honor and
amazement he found that he could not
give up the cigarette. He tried time
and again. He went to a famous medical
man and said : "You shall have
fifty thousand dollars in gold if you
will emancipate me from the cigarette."
The physician worked hard,
but it was no go. The big, strong
man ; the giant who tossed money
kings around like babies, lay hopelessly
crushed under a little rice-paper

medical men say. Very ; but there

A I'HICKy MOJT.
The boy marched straight up to the
counter.
"Well, my little man," said the
merchant, complacently, he had just
risen from such a glorious, good dintier,
"what will you have to-day ?"
"Oh, please, fir, mayn't I do some
work for you ?"
It might have been the pleasant blue
eyes that did it, for the man was not
accustomed to parley with such small
gentlemen, and Tommy wasn't seven
yet, ami small of his age at that.
There were a few wisps of hair
along the edges of the merchant's temples,
and looking down on the appealing
face, the man pulled at them.
\V lien he had done tweaking them he
gave the ends of his cravat a brush,
and then his hands traveled down to
the vest pocket.
"Do some work for me, eh ? Well,
now, about what sort of work might
your small manship calculate to be
able to perform? Why, you can't

"Oh, yes, I can, and I'm growing,

' She can't keep nie in shoes anyhow,

The man took pains to look over the
counte*. It was too much for hiui;
lie couldn't see the little toes. Then
he went all the way round.
"I thought 1 should need a microscope,"
he said, very gravely, "hut I
rtckon if I get close enough 1 can see
what you look like."
"I'm older than I'm big, sir," was
the neat rejoinder. "Folks say I am
very small of my age."
"What might your age he, sir?" responded
the man, with emphasis.
"I am almost seven," said Tommy,

tears came to the blue eyes.
"I reckon I can help you to a breakfa9t,
my little fellow," said the man,
feeling in his vest pocket. "There,
will that quarter do?"
The boy shook his head.
'Mother, wouldu't let me beg, 9ir,"
was the simple answer.
"Humph! Where is your father?"
"We never heard of him, sir, after
he went away. He was lost, sir, in
the steamer, City of Boston."
"Ah ! that's bad. But you are a
plucky little fellow, anyhow. Let me
sop." ;ind be nuckered un his mouth
ami looked straight down iuto the
boy's eyes, which were looking
straight in his. "Saunders," he asked,
addressing a clerk, who was rolling
uo and writing on parcels, "is

4'Dead, sir; died last night," was
the low reply.
"Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. Well,
here's a youngster who can take his
place."
Mr. Saunders looked up slowly, then
he put his pen behind his ear, then his
glance traveled curiously from Tommy
to Mr. Towers.
"Oh, I understand,"said the latter;
"yes, he is small, very small, very
small indeed, but I like his pluck.
, What did No. 4 get?"
"Three dollars, sir," said the still
astonished clerk.
"Put this boy down four. There
youngster, give him your name, and
run home and tell your mother you
have got a place at $4 a week. Can
vnn fwnpmnpr?"
"Work, sir, work all the lime?"
"As long as you deserve it, my
man."
Tommy shot out of that shop. If
ever broken stairs, that had a twist
thought the whole flight, creaked and
trembled under the weight of a small
boy, or perhaps, as might be better
I stated, laughed and chuckled on account
of asmall boy's good luck, those

How To Deal With Children,
It is a great loss for children to outgrow
too soon their childish feelings.
Keep them at their simple playthings
as long as you can. Their enjoyment
of these has a relish which nothing
else can suppty. It is like the keenness
of their appetites for a winter apple,
skin and all. Never laugh at
them for amusing themselves an hour
and a-half a day with a string, or a paper
doll, but laugh with them. If
your boy jumps even into a snow-drift
up to Ilia chili, the glow or nis cueeu. is
onl^ u faint flush to that of his rollick"
ing spirit; und the blood tingling to
his finger-tips will keep the chill out
of his bones and soul alike.
