WHY WOMEN GET LESS THAN MEN Tfc*7 Arm Not Worth go Mach ItoeaaM They Arm Weaker, a Woman gay*. The renMou why luaat women worker* are Dot paid ho much a* men worker* i* be cauae they are not worth bo much, say* a woman who believe* what she Hay*, who believed no ten year* ittfo, whooe belief bo* only deepened with every working year that ha* pawied over her head. Women are not paid *o much a* men because they do not really earn ao much oa men. That Is a generalised statement. A few women are paid more than some men, because they are doing something that a man can't do so well a* a woman. They are paid for the ad v art age of sex. Some women get just as much for their wori as a mau would get, because the work has no advantage or disadvantage of sex either way. Most women are paid les* than most men because men have the ad vantage of their sex in strength—strength of body and of muse lea, units of horse power. Men and women are paid for work, and that work be a matter of body as well os of braiiiM. When people U*gin to talk about this matter they insist upon treating it as if ability were purely a matter of brains, as if the concession that a woman’s work isu’t worth no much as a man’s in the money market is because she hasn’t no much brains as a mau. Nonsense! The very fact that women hold their own against men ns they do in this competitive period, with less physical strength, proves that they have more brains than men, if it proves anything at alL Some women, to be sure, are as strong as men. Uut the mass of women are not. And the law of political economy, which has set the wage mark for men and women deals with the rule and not with the ex ception. Take the branches of work In which men and women engage, and in the great majority of them a man can do all a woman can do and more. That is true even in cases on which at first glance it seems to have no bearing. Take, for ex ample, the question of teaching. The suc cess of women as teachers is eminent, and yet a man in that profession is always paid more than a woman for what seems like tike same work. Hut a reserve power is in the man that is not in the woman—a some thing which he may never be called upon to do, but which he could do If it were necemary. She can teach aa well aa he; sometimes she teaches better, because she is more likely to have that tact of the soul and that happy inspiration which will rouse the young mind into glad learning. But she can’t enforce her own authority beyond a certain limit, and a man can. He can thrash an unruly boy into obedience, and she can’t. And Although that method of controlling is not to be extolled, yet it must be confessed that there is on irresist ible persuasiveness about it. His ad van tage is in his muscles, not in bis brains. The same principle applies in other fields of work. A man clerk may'not lie able to sell more yards of loc$ pr of/doth in a day tiian a woman clerk, tysP he can handle biles of cloth and biggerjboodles than she can. He can do the hea\v work of a porter if necessity requires. HeJ may never do it, but he could do it, and thfrt very potential Ity makes him worth mort. In nearly all the kinds of work in which both men and women are engaged the same potentiality iu physical strength plays a K rt—In tlie greater endurance of long urs or greater rush. In these branches Into which It does not enter women are paid as much as men. A woman physician gets as much as a man. A.t(oinan waiter gets as much for her novel, if it be as good. A woman artist gets us much for a picture, if it be worth it. But in most of the work Of the world there was extra The girl was bright faced, neatly but cheaply dressed, anil greatly rejoiced over the fact that she had just obtained a place In a handkerchief factory where she could earn eighty-five cents for hemstitch iug by machine a hundred doseu handker chiefs. “As luck would have it,” the speaker , continued. “I had just lieen to an under wear sale and I could not help wondering what the women earned who make the ! drawer* which Hell for hi cents, or the nightgowns, which Nell for 27 cents, or the corset covers, which sell for 10 cent*. A I hundred doxen handkerchiefs for 86 cent* j just think of It!” “1 don't lielieve in bir gain Hale* anyway,” said the comfortabh looking woman referred to; “all the shod ! dy, store worn articles are put out with n I few better ones, and the women, led by | the crowd, fight for room. For my part, I avoid the stores which make a great h|k- cialty of these bargain eounten*.” —Brook , lyu Kagle. m*m m gsuorauy cor irom port set. itven hoosea supposed to bs above suspicion in this respect are often found to be danger ously defective.

Woman’s work was not meant to be measured by comparison with men’s and by dollar standards alone.

Bringing a Key tip by Utile. A friend of the Rambler has a bright lie tie heir who is learning by experience a simple yet severe Ukgic. For instance, when bis father corrected him the other da> Master Tommy said between his sobs, “You didn’t whip me the last time 1 waded In the gutter.” “That was the first time,’ said his father. “Well, then, how was I to know that you’d whip me this time theu. v ' asked the little fellow reproachfully. This mode my friend do a little thinking. Am the product of this mental iaiskr he re ceutly showed me his sou. as busy as a be*, copying from one small brown bound book Into another.

Why will not women learn not to be prodigal of their influence? Power Is dear to the feminine heart ami should be treaa ured for occasions, not wasted at trivial ami inconsequential timen. A woman en joys nothing so much as making a man do something at her requeot. She beg* him to give up smoking, not twcauiie she dla likes the habit, not because she feels that it is causing him harm, but because when a man gives up a pleasure so great it ar gues devotion to the person to whoa* in tiuence he has yielded. Some women get so in the habit of ob jecting that they veto a bill before it is fairly before the house, it is, "Don’t do this, Tom,” “Please give up that, Dick,” and “I don’t want you to do the other, Harry,” until Tom, Dick and Harry grow weary of the continual filing of objections, and wise in their generation go ahead ami do the things ami say nothing about them to the wife or mother or sister. So secret- IveoeNs steps in ami confidence is weak sued. In a clever book l* a chapter of “Don’t*,” « prominent item in which i* “Don’t nag.” This soft of thing savor* much of nog ging, and against nagging the mind of man has been “dead sot” since the days of Adam. There comes time* in the Uvea of all men when influence of the right sort is needed. Save your influence, my pretty friend, for Much times. Don’t weaken it by too constant use. Don’t bother and fret ami worry at the trifles, but wait and make your effort for the real things of life.—New York Recorder K ren r ti w o id e n. Frenchwomen are very superior to French men. as we see them, as a rule They contain in themselves the ad vantages of two distinct epochs, and while possess iug nearly as much personal charm as ii. youth, they uave all that one gains by ex perieuce ami maturity. They keep thing together ns the young could not do. The; set people at ease, and listen as well a- talk. They recall the day of the salon, be cause they are ready to sacrifice themselves to the group which they gather aroun*. them, ami they have also an ambition t lie useful, which was unknown to the pre cieuses ridicules. Indeed, a French worn an of any age seems to have a private elixii of her own. which stays by her through good report and evil report, through goo<i fortune ami evil fortune; she is alway.- pleading, cheerful and sympathetic.—Mrs. John Sherwood In Harper’* Bazar. A Krencli MvIImmI of Wash lug Clothes. A system of washing clothes has been introduced into some French towns which 1* worthy of s|>ecial mention. Its economy is so great as to greatly reduce the cost ol find, time and labor. The process is a? follows: Two pound* of soap are reduced with a little water ton pulp, which, having heci slightly heated, Is cooled in ten gallons o. water, to which is added one half a spoon ful of turpentine oil and two of ammonia the mixture is then agitated. The watei is kept at a temperature which may Is borne by the hand. In this solution the white clothea are placed and allowed to remain there for two hours before washing them with soap, taking care in the meantime to cover the tub. The solution may Is* warmed again and used once more, but it will be neces sary to add another half spoonful of am monia. Once washed with soap, the clothe* are put in hot water and the blue Is applied. This process, it is obvious, saves much labor, time ami fuel, while it gives tiie clothes a whiteness much superior to that obtained by any other process, and the destructive use of the washboard is not necessary to clean the clothes from impuri tieo. —Detroit Free Dress. Scott'* Heroines. Out of thirty heroines in Sir Wal ter Scott’s novels sixteen are distinctly dcscriUsl as under twenty. Of the othei fourteen six are undated. This leave.'- us eight, three of whom are set down as over twenty; two start at one side of the line ami are carried over to the othei; two ore by implication rather than by the in teution of the author taken out of theit “teens,” and one, Amy Robsart, is a hero ine “of an uncertain age” since she is his torically a middle aged matron and ficti tioiisly a youthful bride. Ofthesix undated the presumption is altogether iu favor oi the earlier age. Nearly all Scott’s heroines are mother less. They are girls who have grown up in the companionship of uncles or fathers, older men. and with an early responsibility of thought and action. They have had to plan their own wardrobes and decide upon their own conduct toward their lovers. tStaiie of them have been behind the scenes of stirring political events; nearly all have been thrown into situations where they had to think for themselves, to act with decision, and in general to fulfill the whole duty of heroines. The heroines of Scott are, some of them, only lay figures, but at leaitl. so far as they have character, they are womea, ami they justify the deeds which are done to win them.—Atlantic Monthly. How Oae Youag Woman 1* Protected. “Aren’t you sometimes timid?” asked a man of n young lady whose work some time* takes her late at night into part* of the city where the ‘tough” element abound*. “Oh. not at all, “she replied. “Igoarmed. you know.” "Armed? Do you mean you have a six shooter concealed about you?” “I never fired a revolver iu my life.” "A dagger of the dainty tragedy pattern, perhaps?” “No.” "It can’t be you’ve borrowed your broth er’s roaor?” “A razor! Oh, no; doe* ray complexion justify the assumption that I could use that for a weapon?” "Well, then, what do you defend yourself with?” “Why one of these hat pin*,” she re plied, as she drew from her jaunty toque a oeedlelike article with a round, solid knob at the end. If a man attempted to molest me ami 1 jabbed that into his arm, don’t you lielieve he’d halt without much cere mony? That would give me time to es cape, perhaps, or at least raise an alarm. These pins are of the finest steel and would never bend or break.”—Boston Herald. Nearly 500 women are employed on the railways in France.
