Interesting and Timely Stories for and About the Women Folks Industrial Edelon lor Clrla. Ttn American ooniul at Chemnlts. I I Germany, reports that as lon a to I ii 1860 Germany began provldlns private commercial schools to give unmarried women Instruc tion ml ted to Industrial pursuit. These grew steadily and wlih such aucceas iiiut they have been followed by the broader schools known as the Letttt-Vcreln. Hero women have the chance to study different trades for which they may be specially adapted, as photography, millinery, tail oring, dressmaking, all of tho domcstlo in dustries or Dursuiis, together witii fancy owing, embroidery and ornamental draw. ln. ' The success of the Lette-Vereln led to the foundation of many other organisations for the benefit of women, there being a core In as many principal cities. Suxony, wlUoh Is the seat ut the greatest German Industries, and where the largest percent age of women are employed In proportion to population, has twenty-four special trade schools and fourteen generai industrial Schools (or girls, besides these trade or Industrial schools there are others devoted specially to domestic science. The do mestic science schools check the tide of young women toward the factories and workshops, The effectiveness of ail of thes i schools aas been to great that thry are universally recognised both by government nd people, drawing irom the one' increased appropriations ana irom ihe other liberal endowments. Women la Positions of Trnet, The Increasing tendency toward the em ployment of women In positions of trust by financial institutions U thus explained toy the president of one of the Urjest banks In the country; "The feeling is gain ing; ground that women are, on tne wnole, more honest than men. A considerable number of women are now rendering satis factory service as ciehlers and tellers, handling large sums dally without loss or error. One o; the most contpleuous traits In the feminine nature is fidelity to trust. Speculation, the chief pitfall of defaulting employes does not attract women as It doea .men. Cards and drink alio drag down pirnf a male employs, and these, again, are mora particularly masculine vices. Borne of the largest banks In New York axe employing women In pojltlons of heavy responsibility. ' Banking Is an occupation in which men no longer have a monopoly." As to the question whether women sre by nature more honest than men, certain mas culine critics aver that women have gained that reputation only because they are sub ject to fewer temptationse to steal than are men. But In this the case? asks Robert Webster Jones In the Housekeeper. What occupation offers a more severe test of honesty than domestic service? It Is lm poRSlble for a'mlatress to lock up her be longings from her servVxntu, and opportuni ties for pilfering ure numerous. Yet steal ing Is comparatively rare. The majority of buBlnens men are convinced of woman's fidelity In responsible positions and her ability to discharge important duties. Never were there such opportunities for capable, energetic women as at present await thorn In the business world. aian and the Modiste. A few weeks ago newspapers published copious extracts from the lectures of Miss E.Uabeth White delivered before the Prossmakers' Protective association, of which Miss While is president. A great deal was said in these lectures about how woman should dresa and how readily mod ern accessories lend themselves to making woman's figure the ideal of a romance. It was Intimated strongly that nature was a back number and art in dressmaking- the thing. These outgivings, some what aston ishing to readers, prompts sn exchange to ask, "Who is Elisabeth White? 'Why is sh permitted to talk at random?" These pertinent questions ure followed with equally pertinent comment, as follows: l''rom her remarks we learn she can "make a figure out of a broo r stick, give her material enough and a new straight front corsot." But why :et it be known? Why not leave the man to tlnd that out at the proper time after he Is pioperly hound and gagged by holy bond? Women U8"d to be rather clever In this respect, but In the present Instance they sjem to have lost their baarlngj, gone helplessly to tea. That they have soems to grow out of the prldo engendered by the now straight front cori.it. Concerning this article marcullne knowledge of this sort was once wont to ho somewhat esoteric we learn that "for merly (99 women out of 1,003 had no d a phrams at all, or If they Old no one knew it. Now four Inchea difference must be made In the lining of a crown because of the change of shape. Well and good. But what the averago woman needs a diaphragm for, a devel oped diaphragm rather, dees not seem Im mediately obvious. It merely olds respira tion. And most women breathe fast enough, accordlnn to current report, when It comes to UBing breath conversationally. But Miss White doesn't stop with these revelations. She explains tho mystery of why a gown dees not fit. According to thli eminent authority tho raisin is tt be sought for In tho profundities of psy chology. But here one feels ground slip ping from under his feet. This is what Miss White says: "It's the way the clothc are put on that makes the woman. You must mold according to a woman's feelings. You can't give your feelings to another woman." But why don't the women combine and suppress Miss White? There used to be a certain unwritten law that prompted a woman, were she high or low, to hide the Llllth or Eve born traditions of the sex. But If tho president of the Dressmakers' Protective association is permitted to talk in this careless wsy women will soon be come as commonplace and uninteresting as men. Which some kindly power forbid! When Love files. A New York society man, who Is also a playwright and a broker, has lost his faith In the old cdago that when the wolf knocks at the door love files out of the window. His wife has Just obtained a divorce from him, and he says: "Why, when I had lost all my money and my wii'e and I were living In a three-room fiat and was doing all the cooking we were the happiest souls imaginable. Talk about love In a cottage resulting In unhappl ness. No, thcae were the happiest days in my life. It gives me happiness to think of them even now, despite recent events. Our 'pas range' was a handsoms silver chafing dtch given to vs for a wedding present. It was meant for Welsh rarebits and fudges, but It was mighty handy for frying eggs and bacon. Both of us were frugal In those days and It was a delight to hear the cof fee pot sputter. Every time it sputtered we kissed each other, ss if we were on a pro longed honeymoon. Alack, alas, when pros perity again returned and the three-room fiat was deserted for a swagger home and the sterling chafing dish dallied with lob ster Instead of our old economical break fasts, why both of us became discontented nnd then It was love, flew out of the win--dow." Paulina of the Dloncle. Tho extinguishment of the blonde Is de creed or predicted by one Mason, a pro fessor attached to the Smithsonian Institu tion of Washington. Ht says that blondes have lower vitality than brunettes, and tht light complexions, yellow hair and bin eyes. Instead of being admired, should be deplored as evidences that the posses sors sre not up to the physical standards required for the successful preservation of. the race. He thinks thnt blondfs. bring possessed of less vltsl force than bru nettes, will gradually renso to reproduce their own type, and hence, In about 000 years, he says, we will all be dark skinned, with black hair and snapping, saucy eyes.

Pretty Close In Indiana, Colonel Henry Hall of Pittsburg, the vet eran political observer, was out In Indiana during one of McKlnley's campulgns. While he was waiting for a train at a Junction he 1 .lkcd with a farmer who was lounging there. "How's politics?" Hall asked. "Mlddlln'," the farmer replied. "Anything doing In this county?"

"Have soma of the other side changed?" "Changed?" said the farmer contemptu ously.

Politeness as et Policy, In one of the Episcopal churches of the olty, according to District Attorney Jerome, there was once an old woman who In sisted on bowing her head every time the name of satsn waa mentioned during the service or sermon. The rector, after noting this eccentricity for many months, asked her: "Madam, why do you bow at the name of aatan? It Is nut customary, you know."

"But history shows thnt the blonde races have held their own pretty well in the struggle for existence. No one ever taxed the German who swallowed up the legions of Varus with lack of vitality or want of brute strength, which Is the only guarantee that a race can maintain Itself. Yellow haired men from the north swept tho west ern Roman empire inio ruins and long ter rorised the Roman empire !n the east. The blonele Saxon overran Britain snd was not dispossessed until he met a stronger raco of kindred stock, but crossed with tin darker Frank. The light-haired Swede in two memorable epochs at least dominated the politics of all central end eastern Europe. If there are fewer blondes now in the blonde nations than there used to be that can hardly be taken as evidence that the blonde type is dying out. Rather Is It proof of the modifying effect which the In creasing Intercourse of nations has upon physical appearnucea. When the blondes and the dark-sklnnod races kept to them selves generations of blondes nnd brunettes were the Inevltajle result. We see the ef fect of this isolation In the preservation of types todsy tn some parts of Scandinavia, where there Is comparatively little immi gration end where the native stock does not mix with aliens of different complexion.
