Yea Time is coming when women will
be as well paid for their toil in mer.
cantile circles as men are now pald for
thelr toll. Time is coming when a wor
man will be allowed to doanything she
ean do well. It was only alittle while
when women knew nothing of
telegraphy, and they were kept out of
a great many commercial circles where
they are now welcome; and the time
will go on until the woman who bt

runs into a store and takes a roll of
ff the counter, and speaks out
into the street, you all join in the
ery pelimell ‘Stop thief!” When 1
see you go into a store, expecting
to buy snything but to price things,
stealing the time of the clerk, and
stealing the time of the employer, 1
say, “Stop thief!”
If 1 were asked which class of per.
sons most needed the grace of God amid
their annoyances I would say: "“Ury
goods clerks” All the indignation f
customors about the high prices comes
on the clerk. For instance: A great
war comes. The manufactories are
closed, The people go off to battle
The price of goods runs up. A cus
tomer comes into a store. Goods have
gone up. “How much js that worth?"'
“A dollar.” “A dollar. Outrageous
A dollar.” Why, who is to blame for
the fact thet it has got to be a dollar?
Does the indignation go out tw the
manufacturers on the banks of the
Merrimac, because they have closed
up? No Does the indignation go out
toward the employer, who Is out'st
his country seat? No, It come on the
clerk. He got up the war! He levied
the taxes! He puts up the rents! Of
course, the clerk! i
Then a great trial comes to clerks in
the fact that they see the parsimoni
ous side of human nature. You talk
about lies behind the counter—there

A Strange Nursery,
On the slopes, of the Himalayas the
native women have a most curious plan
of disposing of their babies and keeping
them quiet while they are engaged at
work in the fields during the greater
part of the day. Before the mothars set
out to work in the morning thay wrap
their babies in swaddling bands, loav-
ing nothing but their little faces ex.
posed. Then the babies are taken and
