Philadelphia Record : There arc in the United States 3,817,157 women who earn thmr own living. Of this number 2,242,252 are laborers , ( mainly agricul tural ) mill operatives , seamstresses , domestic servants and teachers all of them , except the last , mutual and poorly paid employments , and thu last is poorly paid whoa thu teachers nrr * women. With the above statistics Ida M. Van Ettcn opens an article in the current number of the North American . review. Continuing , she points out that \vo thus find a social condition which obliges nearly 3,000,000 women to depend on their own exertions for a livlihood , and oners them a field of labor so circum scribed as to afford employment for not more than one-tenth of the number. Enormous overcrowding , fierce competi tion , and a consequent undue pressure of wages necessarily follow. SIKUE HUMAN MACHINES. The number of mill operatives , which is given at 152,103 , includes only those engaged in the textile manufactures ; but I ho number engaged in otlter manufac tories would greatly swell tlieso figures. For instance , about 20,000 women and prirls are cigar-makers. More than 21,000 work in the boot and shoo factories , whore they Uo the meaner sort of work binding , sewing on buttons , etc. , and are very poorly paid. There is , morcovcrno chance for advancement , as the work re quires only a certain amount of manual dexterity , which is readily acquired by a child , and thus the wages of the woman are kept at a level with those of a child. Kxpuriencu and trustworthiness count for naught. "Nothing , " says the writer , "is more cll'ectual in producing .ibjeetncss of character , and ( leadening the moral and intellectual nature than-a mean , ser vile condition , which holdout no hope of change or improyomon and in which the compensation is insutlicicnl to afford the means of a comfortable living. " THE Ori'KKbSION OK THE WEAK . Notwitnstandlng these apparent draw- bucks , the fact remains that 45 per cent. of the employes in many manufacturing enterprises.aro women. That ihey are in reality mere boasts of burden part of the machinery does not tlotor thorn from seeking such employment. Carroll U. Wright , United States Commissioner of Labor calls attention to the fact that in all departments where men only are employed the hours of labor are but tan , but where the women and children pre ponderate the hours are eleven or more , and asks why it is that the weakest , the most helpless and dependent , are loaded with more hours , while the strongest and those better .tvblo to bear it have fewer hours to work ? This is a question that has botheres many a head , and has boon vainly asked over and over again. Ways and moans looking to a betterment of tlio condition of the workingwomen have been discussed ; a few of them have assumed tangible shape and have been followed by satisfactory results. These are mainlv " clubs , which look to the amelioration o"f the social condition of mill operatives , seamstresses and shop-girls , and to bu reaus of employment and information. These nro excellent in their way , but have no effect in relieving the over crowded avenues of labor open to women or in protecting them from the demands for excessive hours so often imposed. METHODS FOIl A CUIfE. As a remedy for this system of op pression the writer in the Review , to whom wo have roferredsuggosts , that the workingwomen organize trades unions to determine the hours and wages on the same plan that the trades unions for men are now carried on. This might , it is true , hotter their condition in n measure , but the system is beset with diliicnlties that I fear would bo more wearing and tearing to the average woman than the toiling and scrimping that she now en dures. The kind of organization that would Uo away with child labor in the factories would be more to the point. It would make room for moro women and would undoubtedly raise their wages to the level of woman's work. WHEKE ORGANIZATION MAr DO GOOD. But sad us is the condition of female operatives in the mills that of the women who tight thu .wolf from thu door with the point of a needle is infinitely worse. For them there are no hoursno , Sundays , absolutely no time for recreation. 1 do not refer to the skilled dressmakers , or the accomplished seamstresses who fash ion dainty wear for fashion's favorites , but to the sowing woman who rntikes a heavy pair of workman's trousers for 7 cents , or a shirt for 0 or 8 cents. It is easy to SRC that these poor creatures can hardly find time to oat or sleep , much less for recreation. It is only by unceas ing labor , twolyo or fifteen hours a day , and seven days in the week , that they are able to ward off starvation and keep the life in their wretched bodies at all. And the condition of tiio cloakmakers and those who make women's underclothing is not much better. Comparatively few women nowadays have their underwear made at homo. After buying the ma terials scarcely " anything la left to pay for the makiuu ; they find it much cheaper and quite as satisfactory to buy these garments ready-made , lint it is clear that they are cheapened by the heart's blood of the sowing women who make them , and not by pecuniary-loss to the merchant \ \ ho soils them. Those are linrd facts , but they nru.apparent. Cloak- makers are slightly better off , for their work calls for experience , taste and skill ; but they are wretchedly paid , for alltlmt. For thFa class of workingwomen thorough organization might t'o much. A I1KTTEB IlEMKUY STILL , Hut there is another way out of the dif fictiHy n way that requires no system of organization or concerted action. Every workingwoman hns tlio matter in her own hands. There \3 \ a constant and ever-increasing demand fur domestic servants. The cry of their scarcity and incompctcncy is heard on every hand. It is folly to say that thh branch of employ * mentis overcrowded , although nearly 1,000,000 women in the United States are household'workors. We need moro nnd wo need better servants. The newly landed immigrant , who has probably worked in liclds all her life , docs not fill the bill. Wo want Intelligent women in our hoities , wlio.if they do not know how already , are cupabln of learning how to perform housliold work acceptably , and at no great outlay of time and ux- penenco. POSITIONS OK I.UISUKE AND t'UOFIT. The talk about domestic service cur tailing the privileges of the worker is all sheer nonsense. In all well regulated households the maid has her weekly af ternoon and evening out nnd her altern ate Sunday. In almost every house these regular outings are supplemented by others , so that her life is far from being the llfo of a prisoner , nnd infinitely more free than that of the sowing women.who must make the most of every available moment or starve. Mistresses are gen erally kind and considerate if maids be cheerful and willing. Aloreover , house hold work is healthful ; it nllbrds a diver sity that is of itself a relaxation of mind and body ; and , finally , it is better paid than any otliur branch of labor open to uneducated , workingwomen. Indeed , it is donbtfnl if many of the female teach ers can sayo as much money as the do mestic worker in the course of the year. QUESTIONS OF Hnsi-ncTAiJtuTr COXSID- EH ED. The ground covering the false notions of the loss of dignity and social position by entering domestic service has boon gone over times without number , and the last word seems to have been said. Any woman of innate refinement nnd proper self-respect should not need to bo assured that these qualities may bo main tained under any and all conditions , but if she have in audition her fair share of common sense she will know that the cleanly , well -ordered kitchen when ; she reigns as domestic is moro favorable to their perpetuation than the squalid tene ments she is able to provide for herself as seamstress. When the masses of mill operatives , seamstresses , etc. , shall have been educated up to an appreciation of the advantages of domestic service their condition will bo bettered. The problem of women's wages will solve itself , and the servant girl question will no longer vox. And then there need bo no fear that any field of employment will bo overcrowded. There Is no overplus of women or men ; there is work for every pair of willing hands , and bread for every hungry mouth. But the energy of the hands should bo expended where it is needed. A little judgment in this di rection will help women moro than all the labor organizations that can bo do- vised. The remedy for each individual the case rests with individual. Women Whoso Only Interest in Ex istence is Gossip. However prominently gossip enters into the life of the average boarding- liouso clse\yhero , says a writer in the Philadelphia Press , in this city it is the characteristic that makes ovcrthing else subordinate. The people live on it , cul tivate it as an art , and make it the chief occupation of their daily lives. The in terest of any friendly intercourse that exists consists chiefly in finding out things about one another or about some body else in the house. There is hardly a boarding house in Philadelphia where the private and do mestic atfairs of every ono in it are not as well known to cvurv one else in it as to themselves. What a woman is mak ing or doing , what she bought ycsteiday or what she is going to buy to-day , who she visits , who visits her , how much her Imsbund makes , where he is if absent from a meal , how much her last dress cost her , or just what is tlio matter with her if she remains in her roomare affairs quite as well known to every woman in tlio house as to herself. There is in almost every boarding house ono or two womenusually unmarried ami no longer . make this their ttsmess in lite. To cat and know what is going on is all they care for. They seldom gcront , have no interests or occu pation , and gradually every feminine trait becomes subordinated until curiosity becomes a passion. Every time the bolls rings they know it , as they do the contents of every Infudle that ar rives. ' 1 hey see the letters at the plates before the owner see them themselves , and cleverly draw out of the recipients who they are from if it takes six months to do it. They invite and cultivate the confidence of every newcomer solely to minister to their absorbing passion. Quite often the woman who keeps the boarding house is alllictcd with this frenzy herself , and the case is wall authenticated of the keeper of a fashionable boarding house in this city who opened and read , by steaming them , the letters of most of the ladies in the house for six months be fore she was discovered. There are a num ber of boarding houses where every let ter and every package received into the house is taken to the mistress before then reach their rooms. In all such espionage as this of course servants have a share , and , as a rule , not only lend themselves easily to it , but in time be came adopts themselves. Traveling Perfumery Shops. A decided innovation is to have , be tween the dress waist and the lining , eaeliet powder : Sa fact , the whole waist- of the dress servos as ono largo saoliot. While this may make the dress a little heavier , and consequently add to its warmth , it is just what is needed for win ter weather. Evening dresses are also treated in this way. Violet seems to bo the favorite odor. No Lyilliv LangulshcR Hero. Sierra Valley ( Cal. ) Joador : Miss Ellen Cnllehan , of Sierra Valley , sold to James Miller last week forty-six head of beef cattle at 8 cunts n pound. This is the highest price paid in this valley in two years for beef cattle. Miss Callehau re- cuiyed $2,312.75 for her cattle , and has a band still growing. Some twelve or fif teen years ago her brother died and left her two good ranches and a band of cat' tie and horses. Since then she has man aged the ranches and stock herself as solo proprietor. She is a noted character here for her peculiar manner in attending to her household affairs as well as caring for her stock and gathering in her large crop of hay , etc. , all of which she per sonally superintends. She can har ness a team , break wild horses , run a mower or do anythiny of the work on a ranch. She shows great charity for stock , as often she has been known to take young calves , colts , cliick- OIIH and ducks into the kitchen to save them from the inclemency of the weather for several weeks at a time , She would make a good match in mariiago for a middle-aged man , with muscle cultivated to work , and it is our opinion that none others need apply. Dudes would not , wb believe , bu noticed as candidates for the matrimonial hand of Miss CtUlchun. She lives lilonu in her ga-lpry , and ap pears to enjoy herself both indoors and out , especially when driving a pairof her unbitablo steeds , over which she holds the reins in a manner peculiar to herself.

London Queen : "Sowing machines have revolutionized the working world , but when I see , as I only too frequently do , intelligent and othurwiso well edu cated girls of ten aud twelve , aye , and older too , so ignorant of plain needle work that I would not care to itso a pocket-handkerchief of their hemming , 1 do not foul quite sure that all innova tions are improvements.

But the world is widu enough for both. I have hoard my own mother say that when she was seven she wore an Italian muslin of her own embroidery at a ball given by her parents on her birth day.
