A number of unmarried F.ngll6h women, who have reached an age about which H would be ungenerous to inquire too closely, have been com plaining in the papers of the rule that all married women shall bo called '"Mrs.," and all unmarried women "Miss, ' no matter what their age:; may he. They point out the fact that a boy, who is "Master" in his early life, becomes "Mr." by the mere lapse of time, whether lie marries or not; but that a girl who begins as "Miss." con tinues to be "Miss" until she marries. This was not always the case, as the curious may discover by looking up the history of "Miss," "Mrs." and "Mistress." The English women main tain that the title by which they are called, as spinsters, is not conducive to the deference which is accorded to married women, and which they de mand for themselves. The remedy they propose —that all women be called "Mrs." after reaching the age of 40— would be of doubtful efficacy. Men would goon calling their women acquaintances "Miss" until they re ceived what the newspapers call "offi cial" notice that, the age limit was passed. The old "darky" woman stated a fact of general application, says Youth's Companion, when she said that the happiest person is an old maid "when she has quit strugglin'." The woman who cares whether she is called ".Miss" or "Mrs.," when her hair is turning, is still "strugglin - ." The state department of agriculture has taken a step which may help to solve the problem of adjusting the matter of labor for farms and at the r.ame time put dwellers in the city in the way of acquiring knowledge and health, says the Troy (N. Y.I Times. The department has issued a bulletin asking for volunteers from boys and girls in high schools who wish em ployment during the summer vacation. The boys are to have farm work of a character suited to their capacity, such as aiding in the planting and gather ing of crops and helping the farmers jr 'trier ways, all of which will tend to lighten the labor of the agricultur ist and also give the bovs valuable in sight into farm life. The girls for the most part are expected to serve as clerks and stenographers and to do light duty about summer resorts, al though probably there will be no ob jfction to letting those so disposed act as helps to rural housewives. That the idea is not wholly repellent to the youthful element, is shown by the fact that there are already over 2.500 ap plications from high school boys of New York city alone, the young fel lows being desirous of engaging in the occupations suggested. Who knows but the high school boy of the pres ent will be the successful farmer of 'tho future? Score another for that invincible weapon of offense and defense, the hatpin. In the hands of a woman en tirely courageous and skillful the hat pin puts the boldest criminal to ig nominious flight. One of the great est victories recorded is that of a woman who, with a hatpin in each band, withstood four highwaymen who undertook to hold her up and rob her in a lonely street in Brooklyn. One of the men seized the lady roughly by the arm, whereupon she dislodged the hatpins and put them into vigorous ac tion. Although so largely outnum bered. her defense was most success ful. The hatpins played with such 'lightning like celerity that each of •the assailants received at least one Jab, and one man had several perfora tions. Three of the miscreants finally found safety by running away, bin the fourth was held and lodged in the po lice station, with u charge of assault preferred against him by the plucky wield«-r of the hatpin. If such an act does not entitle the victor to a medal for heroism, remarks the Troy <N. Y.) Times, what is llie use <>f providing for such recognition? People who lament fhe veeniing pre ponderance of Action in the printed matter of the day should cheer up. Last year fc'ti books on religious sub jects were published in this country, and it was not regarded as an espe. dally good year for religion, either. Picked Up -fM#- Pennsylvania HARRISBURG. —Gov.

CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE Preparations for Fall Trade Are on a Fairly Liberal Scale, Says Dun's Review of Trade. New York City.—Ft. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Preparations for fall trade are on a fairly liberal scale, testifying to con fidence in the future, and jobbers re ceiving moderate supplementary or ders for prompt shipment, while retail sales expand in response to season able weather. There is some irregu larity in reports from the leading in dustries, footwear factories receiving relatively larger orders than textile mills, while the iron and steel mar kets still feel the unsettling effects of recent reductions in prices. Building operations increase at many points, creating a better demand for lumber and other materials, but there is still a decrease in most comparisons with last year's volume. Mercantile collec tions are more prompt and money is abundant, despite continued exports of gold. Waiting conditions prevail in the Iron and steel industry, purchasing be ing limited to immediate needs, except in the case of steel bars that have been ordered by makers of agricultural im plements to the extent of 250,000 tons.
