Philadelphia Record : Thoren.ro iutho United States 2,817,157 women who earn their own living. Of this number 2,242,252 arc laborers , ( mainly agricul tural ) mill operatives , seamstresses , domestic servants and teachers all of them , except the last , menial and poorly paid employments , and thu last is poorly paid when thu teachers am women. With the above statistics Ida M. Van Etten opens an article in the current number of the North American . review. Continuing , she points out that wo thus find a social condition which obliges nearly 3,000,000 women to depend on their own exertions for a livlihood , and orl'ers them a Held of labor so circum scribed as to afford employment for not more than one-tenth of the number. Enormous overcrowding , tierce competi tion , and : i consequent undue pressure of wages necessarily follow. MEUE HUMAN MACHINES. The number of mill operatives , which is given at 152,102 , includes only those engaged in the textile manufactures ; but the number engaged in oilier manufac tories would greatly swell these figures. For instance , about 20,000 women and pirls are dear-makers. More than 21,000 work in the boot and shoo factories , whore they do the meaner sort of work binding , sewing on buttons , etc. , and are very poorly paid. There is , morcoverno 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 ut a level with those of a child. Experience and trustworthiness count for naught. "Nothing , " says the writer , "is moro effectual in producing ab.jcctncss of character , and deadening the moral and intellectual nature tharra moan , scr- vile condition , which holdout no hone of change or improyoniontand , in which the 'compensation is insutlicienl to aft'ord the moans of a comfortable living. " THE OITIIKSSION OF THE WEAK. Notwitnstanding thcso apparent draw backs , tiio fact remains that 45 per cent. of the employes in many manufacturing cnterprises.aro women. That they are in reality mere beasts of burden part of the machinery does noKJileter 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 whore the women and children pre ponderate the hours nre 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 bettor . 'ablo to boar it have fewer hours to work ? This is a question that has bothcrcs many a head , and has been vainly asked over and over again. Ways and moans looking to a betterment of the condition of the workingwomen have been discussed ; a fuw of them have assumed tangible shape and have been followed by satisfactory results. These are mainly clubs , whicii look to the amelioration of the social condition of mill operatives , seamstresses and shop-girls , and to bu reaus of employment and information. These are 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 FOU A CUIfE. As n remedy for this system of op pression the writer in the Review , to whom wo have referredsuggests that Iho 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 a measure , but the system is beset with difficulties that I fear would bo moro wearing and tearing to the average woman than the toiling and scrimping that she now en dures. The kind of organization that would do 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. WIIKllE OKGANIZATION MADO GOOD. But sad as is the condition of female operatives in the mills that of the women who tight the .wolf from the door with the point of a needle is infinitely worse. For them there are no hours.no . bundays , absolutely uo 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 makes a heavy pair of workman's trousers for 7 cents , or a shirt for 0 or 8 conts. It is easy to see that thcso poor creatures can hardly find time to oat or sleep , much less for recreation. It is only by unceas ing labor , twolyo or iiftocn hours n 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 the cloakmakcrs and these who make women's underclothing is not much bettor. Comparatively few women nowadays have their underwear made at homo. Aft9r' buying the ma terials scarcely " anything is left to pay for the making ; they find it much cheaper and quite as satisfactory to buy thcso garments ready-made. Hut it is clear that they arc cheapened by the heart's blood of the cowing women who make thorn , and not by pocuuiurHoss to the merchant who soils them. Those are hard facts , but they aru .apparent. Cloak makcrs are slightly better off , for their work calls for experience , tastoand pkill- but they are wretchedly paid , for ulltu'ut. For tills class of workingwomen thorough organization might t'o much , A UETTEB UEMKUV STILL , But there is another way out of the dif ficulty n way that requires no system of organization or concerted action. Every workmgwoman has the matter in her own hands. There is a constant and ever-Increasing demand for domestic servants. The cry of their scarcity and Inconipctency is heard on every hand. It is folly to say that this branch of employ ment is overcrowded , although nearly 1,000,000 women in the United States are household'workers. We need moro and wo need better servants. The newly landed immigrant , who has probably worked in liqfds all her life , does not ml the bill. Wo want intelligent women in our houses , who.if they do not know how already , are capnblo of learning how to perform houshold work acceptably , and at no great outlay of time and ex perience. 1'OSITIOJJS Or I.EISUKE A.VD 1'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 and her altern ate Sunday. In almost every house these regular outings are supplemented by others , so that her life is far from being the life of a prisoner , and infinitely more free than that of the sowing women.who must make the most of every available moment or starve. Mistresses are goa- orally kind and considerate if maids bo cheerful and willing. Moreover , house hold work is healthful ; it affords a diver sity that is of ittelf a relaxation of mind and body ; and , finally , it is better paid than any other branch of labor open to uneducated workingwomen. Indeed , it is doubtfnl if many of the female teach ers can soyo as much money as the do mestic worker in the course of the year. QUESTIONS OF iinspncTAniLrrr COXSID- EUE1 > . The ground covering the false notions of the loss of dignity and social position by entering domestic service has been gouo over times without number , and the last word seems to have boon said. Any woman of innata refinement and 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 addition her fair share of common sense she will know that the cleanly , well -ordered kitchen where 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 be 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. Hut 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 de vised. The remedy for each individual the case rests with individual. Women Whoso Only Interest In Ex istence is Gossip. However prominently gossip enters nto the lifo of the avcraire boarding- louse elsewhere , says a writer in the I'hiladolphia Press , in this city it is the characteristic that makes overthing else subordinate. The people live on it , cul- .ivatc 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 hings 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 affairs of everyone in it arc not is well known to every ono else in it as , o themselves. What a woman is mak ing or doing , what she bought ycstonlay or what she is gojng to buy to-day , who she visits , who visits her , how much her i us bund makes , where he is if absent Eroin a meal , how much her last dress ; est her , or just what is the matter with icr if she remains in her roomaro affairs uito as well known to ovorv woman in he house as to herself. There is in almost every boarding house ono or two womenusually unmarried and no longer particularly juvcnile.who make this their business 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 buudlo that ar rives. 1 hey sec the letters at tiie plates before the owner see them themselves , and cleverly draw out of the recipients who they are froni 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 wno keens the boarding house is atllicted with this frowsy herself , nnd the case is well authenticated of the keeper of a fashionable boarding house in this city who opened and read , by steaming them , the letters of most of thn 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 roach 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 adepts themselves. Traveling Pcrfumory Shops. A decided innovation is to have , be tween the dross waist and the lining , sachet powder : ia fact , the whole waist- of the dress serves as ono largo sachet. 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 Lydla LniiKiilshus Hero. Sierra Valley ( Cal. ) header : Miss Ellen Callehan , of Sierra Valley , sold to James Miller last week forty-six" head of beef cattle at Scunts it pound. This is the highest price paid m this valley in two years for beef cattlo. Miss Callehan re- coiyed $2,812.75 for her cattle , and has a band still growing. Some twelve or fif teen years ago her brother died anil left her two good ranches and a band of cnf 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 curing for her stotsk and gathering in her largo crop of hay , etc. , all of which she per sonally superintends. She can har ness n team , break wild horses , run a rnowor or do anythiny of the work on a ranch. She shows great charity for stock , as often she has boon known to take young calves , colts , chick ens and ducks into the kitchen to t > ave them from the inclemency of the weather for several weeks at a timo. She would make a good match in mariiago for a middle-aged man , withmusclo cultivated to work , and it is our opinion that none others need apply. Dudes would not , wb boliuvo , bo noticed as candidates for the matrimonial hand of Miss Callehan. She lives tilonu in her pa-lory , and. ap pears to enjoy herself both indoors- and out , especially when driving n pair ol her unbitablo steeds , over which she holds the ruins in a manner peculiar to herself.
