WOMEN AS DESIGNERS Font THOUSAND OF THEM I5AKNIXU GOOD LIVINGS. They Make Designs for Everything From Nilks to Houses Do Well In Competition with Men Export enren of Home. When a woman founded th-J School of Applied Design for Women in 1892, It was a work of faith on her part, says the New York Times. Ever since the world began to tulk about women at all one thing that was always Insisted on was that they had not the Inventive or creative faculty. To-day there are women regularly employed to design silks, rugs or other goods which are extensively advertised as Imported wares. The goods are imported, for they are made In foreign countries, where they can be made better and cheaper than In America; but they are mad-3 from designs by New York womon. One graduate of the school work .for a Turkish firm In New York. Sho Is constantly designing patterns and color schemes which are suited to the New York market. These are sent to the Orient and made up Into Turkish and other Eastern rugs. The same Is true of French and Japanese silks and various other goods. The American designers may not excel tho foreign ones, but they understand better what American.) want. Four thousand former pupils of this school are now earning a living In designing. They are scattered all over the country, but . the majority are In and around New York. Most of them are employes of manufactur ing Arms at salaries ranging from $10 to $25 a week, few receiving less than $16. A Arm which makes very fashion able tailored garments sends out on each one a label with a special de sign woven In. Two girls get $15 u week for designing theso labels. Everything connected with femin ine fashions offers an abundance of well paid work. All fashion maga zines employ designers for their plates. Designing for trade catalogues of fers an almost Inexhaustible field. Girls under twenty make $20 and $25 a week at this. An independent worker makes a good Income by de signs for shirt waist fronts, nllovcr lace and embroidered dress patterns. The slowest of all offices to open to these women have those of tho architects, for here they encounter the only disability attendant upon their, sex. It Is customary for tho architect who dcslngns a building to superintend Its erection, and this Is difficult for women. There are, however, about fifty women me chanical draughtsmen In architects' offices In New York. One of them recently designed a court house for a Long Island town. Her employer will superintend tho erection of the building, but tho de sign was really accepted as she sub mitted it. As to the differences between tho work of men and women in this line tho management of the Bchool has noted only two. Women excel In col or rather than drawing and are more Interested In beautiful color schemes than In the line work. Women are inferior to men in free hand printing, a qualification so de sirable that a woman possessing It Is nearly always sure of employment. As for pay, special orders given out to Independent workers have a fixed price, whether a man or worn an executes them. Among regular employes women generally receive less than men, but not always. Nearly all these women have some one dependent upon them. Some are supporting parents or Invalid rela tives, some educating younger broth er or sisters. Many of them were poor girls who supported themselves while taking their course. Girls have fought their way through the school by typewriting, sewing, or keeping books at night to get money to live on. Rusty Clothes Boiler. Make a bag of two yards of heavy unbleached cotton cloth, the size of your boiler and big enough to fold over the top. Put this Into the boil er you wish to boll clothes in. Then put in the clothes to be boiled with the water and powder or soap. The edges of the bag may be turned over tho top of the boiler, and will not in terfere In any way with the boiling and punching down of the clothes, but will keep them perfectly clean and free from rust stains, thus al lowing one to use an old boiler much longer. After using rinse, dry and put bag away till next time. To Bleach Yellowed White Kllk. When either white silk fabric or embroidery has become yellow, from careless washing It may be bleached in the following manner: Dissolve two ounces each of salt and oxallo acid In six quarts of cold water. Souk the silk in this . until the yel lowed tinge disappears. This will take about an hour in ordinary cases. Immediately rinse In soveral clear waters to remove every trace of the acid. To Remove Spot from China. Discolored china baking dUhei can be made as clean as when new by rubbing them with whiting. Grease marks on the pages of books may be removed by sponging them with ben zine, placing between two sheets ot blotting paper and pressing with a I not iron. FIMPIXO'S PHOGUF.Sfl. Mmy Improvements t'nder Ameri can Occupation. When I went to tho Philippines in 1900, says ex-Governor Henry O. Ide In the New York Tribune, the Islands were In a state of chaos. . War was being waged, government there was none, nnd law and order were un known quantities. Now human llfo nnd property are as safe throughout the archlpeiago, with the exception cf certain districts of Rnniar and Leyte, as they are within the bound aries of the United States. The ter rors of brigandage which are felt In Samar nnd Leyte are not new. These Pulljnnes preyed upon the na tives for generations before the ar rival of the Americans, and will probably continue to do so until they are exterminated. They do not mo lest foreigners, as a rulo, but choose the safer victims they And among tho poor people of the native rural dis tricts. Practically all branches of the Philippine government are now un der the Civil Service. All appoint ments, except the very highest, are made Trom lists of eligible persons who have passed a satisfactory ex amination for the places, and pro motions within the service are made upon the same basis. It Is a fact that politics has less to do with appoint ment or promotion In office In the Philippines than hero In the United States. The officials have found Civil Service methods an excellent protec tion for themselves, and would not under any consideration have the order of things changed to the spoils system. Tho educational system estab lished by the United States Is Arst class. There are trade schools estab lished by the government, as well as schools for the teaching of English nnd the ordinary branches of learn ing, and ninny of the municipalities have grade schools of their own which would romparo favorably with similar Institutions in the states. All told, there ore between four hun dred thousand and five hundred thou sand pupils regularly attending school In the Philippines, and every one of them Is learning the English language. The government has sent eight hundred teachers from this country to the Philippines to Instruct Filipino teachers In the English lan guage. In the line of public Improve ments the government has spent a Ex-Gov. Henry G. Ide. tremendous amount of money, and will continue to spend It. About $4,000,000 has been spent upon the harbor at Manila to make It safe for the largest oceangoing vessels, and larger sums are being spent upon the harbors of Ilolo and Cebu. Many miles of fine roads have been con structed, and bridges have been thrown across many of the rivers to make the highways between the prin cipal towns of value at all seasons of the year. One of the most Important mat ters taken up by the government waa the Investigation of tropical diseases which is now being carried on in the laboratory established at Manila. At this laboratory smallpox vaccine and various serums for the cure and pre vention of diseases In man and beast are prepared. A serum preparation for the prevention of rinderpest, which threatened to exterminate the cattle of the Islands, has proved won derfully successful and the disease has been practically stamped out When It appears, here and there at Infrequent Intervals, a force from the laboratory proceeds to the herds Infected and puts an end to the epidemic. By thts means many mil lions of dollars' worth of valuable animals have been saved, and one of the most serious menaces to the pros prlty of the Islands has been re moved. Smallpox was prevalent be fore the American occupation, but ulnce vaccination has been carried on to an extensive degree through but the centers of population, the disease has disappeared in its epi 'demla form. , Women Total Abstainers. An English paper state that fifty young unmarried womon, belonging to a Roman Catholic, Church in Ber mondsey, have vowed to be total ab stainers for life, as an act of self-denial and reparation for the preva lence of the drinking habit among their sex at the present time. Cultivating Sponges. Several sponge farms, all of which which are paying concerns, are to be found In the Mediterranean. Until recently sponges have been simply collected from the sea floor, where they have flourished In a wild state, put or late years they, have, like oys ters, been cultivated.
