It has been said that next to dentli
or serious 1 1 lues the most distressing
thing in the household Is debt. Tin
general thrift of the .member of one ol
our most highly reflected religious so
clelles l.s doti'itless din; to the fact that
they are enji Ined to live within their
means. With this sect prudence in the
expenditure of money is rightly account
ed one of the Hauler's virtues. The se
cret of the rise of many a worldly es
tate Is to he found in tin; umlovlat Iny
practice of .spending less than Is earned.
This may Involve Spartan sncrlllcort In
some Instance, but It comprises the art
of getting on in the world. The maxim,
"Spend loss than you earn," In easily
understood. ,et the majority of persons,
heads of families, are so constituted
that, no matter what the earnings may
lie, the standard of living rises with the
llnanclal resources of the family, and
at tin.- end of the year the debit and
credit. sides of the domestic account bal
ance, or, perhaps, the household Is
grievously In debt. The piling up ot
debt for domestic expenses is' Inexcus
able, save In cases where no amount
of prudence will keep the wolf from
the door.
Whenever an employer drops a few
women and puts men in their place;'
there is a great commotion, as if .some
thing momentous had happened as If a
general attack were being made on
woman labor. If a firm were to dismiss
half a dozen men stenographers or type
writers and hire women nothing would
be said about It. Nobody would Jump
at the conclusion that men were being
proscribed. .Manifestly many wi.en
have a feeling that the place they have
won lu the labor market Is held by an
uncertain tenure. They need have no
fears on that score. The fact that an
employer here and there decides that
he can have his clerical work done to
better advantage by a man than by a
woman proves nothing and is not worth
noticing. Women cannot be driven out
of any of the Holds of labor which have
been opened to them during the last
llfty years. In that time they have
largely supplanted men as teachers.
They have to a considerable extent
driven them out of the dry goods stores.
The "counter Jumper" has become al
most as extinct as the dodo. Of em
ployment In new occupations, such as
typewriting and shorthand, women
have a full share. In the beginning ol
the telephone men had charge of the
little .switchboards, while women do tin
work now. Women may draw comfort
from the rellectlon that if they were
to throw up their jobs lu factories,
stores and olllces It would be Impossible
to llnd men enough to llll their places.
Women got various kinds of work not
merely because they will accept lower
wages than men, but because their labor
Is needed to supplement that of men.
or course, the difference in wages
counts for a great deal. Jt often turns
the scale In favor of the woman. Many
women who are poorly qualltled are
given the preference over men no more
competent than themselves simply he
uise they ask les. Now and then an
employer will get a notion that It Is
better not to have women around and
will discharge a few. Oivjtslonnlly la
bor organizations will resolve that
women .should stay lwmic and not take
work away from men. Theae Incidents
uut for nothing. The number of
wi.aien workers in tins country will
continue to increase.

West Point, and attained the rank of

"It takes a good man to stand and

A writer in the New York Sun describes
the beginning of her Journey as follows:
She carried a Maltese kitten in her

her like prismatic quills, and when
ever she moved about silver coin o .ill
kinds in all her pockets and she had
lots of them made her Jingle merrily.
She is Freda Petroska of Warsaw,
