the women were employed originally
a measure of economy. It wan
found that the system of baring every
person put his own fare in the box re
sulted in the missing of a great tunny

cost too much to hire two men for each
car. It waa then that the superin

work, while the anperlntendent says
that they do it well.
Lately a aort of epidemio for em
ploying women in the transportation
service of the country has broken out.
It's not local epidemio, ao it's going
io be difficult to quarantine it, though
many of the trades unionists have
beeu trying their best to stamp it out.
There' not likely to be more success
ful than nana), however.
The epidemic seem to have started
last winter at Middletown, Conn.,
where a woman got employment as a
inotornian on a street car. The no
toriety tho line got as a result was
discouraging, ao the pioneer was dis
charged, but the notion that women
would make first-class conductors if
not grip manipulators in small towns
struck more than one street railroad
ninnager.
Out in Vincennes, Ind., a mouth or
ao ago the local street railway com
pany, in a fit of eoonomy, decided to
discharge its men conductors and em
ploy women. Fifty women applied
for the job and live were put to work
.at 43 a week.
The .Miperintendent of the Electrio
Railway, Light and Tower Company,
of Cbillicothe, W. J. Myers, has written
an optimistic letter to the Electrical
Engineer on the subject:
"We could not afford to employ
. men, and we could not see why worn
u would not make as good conduc
tors as men. We keep them on duty
teu bnrs day and pay them $4 per
week, and they are proving them
'elves in every way competent and
iHuient. We are very particular in
selecting them, and had no trouble in
getting good applications and a great
' . many more than we are able to em
ploy. It gives us very clean ser
vice, and we think that this will be
new field for the employment of
Jailiei."
Madison, Ind., baa caught the epi
demic, too, but somehow its citizens
. seem to have beeu inocnlated against
it. The families of the men who have
been thrown out of work by the new
. women conductors have been making
big fuss about it, and the citizens
declare they will walk before they will
patrouiae cars oonduoted by women.
The stentn railroads are falling into
liue. It is four or five years now
since a vigorous howl went up because
the Brooklyn Elevated decided to em
ploy women ticket agents. A few
mouths ago the Baltimore and Ohio
Bailroad put women iu charge of
' eighteen of its offioea. Time and again
it has been rumored that the New
York Elevated and the New York Cen
tral Bailroad would substitute women
in its stations all along the line. Al
ready there are more women employed
in the Central'! offices than on any
other road.
But after all these are sot the
pioneers in a new field. As a matter
of fact we are away behind the rest of
the world in the employment of wo
meu in the railway service. England
hires a few, while in Franoe women
. railroaders are commou.

CANADA'S NEW RULERS,
The Appointment of the Karl anil Conn

The appointment of the Earl of
Mintoaa Governor-General to succeed
the Karl of Aberdeen is hailed with
satisfaction throughout Canada. It
ia generally believed that no more
fitting appointment could nave been
made by the home Government. Lord
Mtuto will not assume hi official lu
tie under the disadvantage of being
atranger, for be ia widely known
throughout the province. It might
be truthfully said that he is already a
popular man, and i sure to fall heir
to the general good with which all
Catiadian feel for the Earl of Aber
deen.
The arrival of the Earl and hi
charming wife, the Countess of Miuto,
in sure to strengthen the regard now
entertained for them. I hey will be
the handsomest couple ever occupying
Itideaii Hull, the Dominion palace at
Ottawa, and fully capable of maintain
iug the social prestige of their high
position.
The new Governor-General's full
name ia Gilbert John Elliot-Mnrray

fourth Earl of Minto. He was born
in 1845, and succeeded his father as
fourth Earl in 1891. He was formerly
a lieutenant in the Moot Guards, was
attached to the Turkish army iu the
Ilusso-Tnrkish war in 1877, serving
in Afghanistan in 1870, was a volun

Qmi Ways of the "Cnvllf ."
In an article on the "Covites" of
the Cumberland Mountains, published
in the Ladies' Home Journal, Sarah
Barnwell Elliott says: "The people
are usually squatters on small lots of
unoleared mountain land, whioh ia ex
tremely shallow and poor. They usu
ally live in log or slab houses some
times 'chinked' and sometimes not;
sometimes with floors, and sometimes
without eking out an existeuce by
peddling either the nuts and fruits of
the wilderness, or their poor 'gyarden
truck.' They are very keen at a bar
gain, even when they have no idea of
the proper value of the thing in hand,
and though they are very hospitable
when you come to their house, and
will give you anything they have in
the way of food, they will never give
you anything that they have brought to
sell. They may give it to your cook,
or to your next-door neighbor, or tbey
may throw it away just outside your
gate, but you having declined to pay
their prioe tbey will not give it to
you at least, not that special ar
ticle." The Book keeper's Vision,

.Peace and tranquillity prevail in the

The campaign, the memorial says, was
oonduoted with due regard to the rales

He asks for the recognition of the

publio, or, failing in that, to grant the

Iu this growth to manhood and this
struggle for education young Aguiu
aldo found peronnl experience of the
amazing blindness of the masters of
the islands. The rule of the Hpanish
in the Philippines is almost beyond
belief. Nevertheless, the testimony is
convincing. The nation which delib
erately doe all in its power to retard
Hie progress of learning, to prevent
the education of it people, ha small
claim to civilization. In these islands
it was practically a crimo for a Fili
pino to achieve any education. If he
came to the notice of the authorities it
wa more than probable that, if be
were not disposed of more effectively,
lie would be exiled. Aguinaldo suf
fered this puuishment for hi ambi
tion, and now he is taking revenge.
His friends, his relative, suffered
similarly, and now strive with him for
vengeance on the Hpauiard.
The Filipinos are stoical in endur

Spanish oppression and misrule.
They cau eudure and be still, endure
physical pain and suffering, with the
outward indifference of a red Indian.

simple, open-hearted, hospitable,
with an unshaken faith iu the wis

Aguinaldo. By whatever means he

his word now is law with them.

To carry out the all white Idea, now
ao popular, the full waist is arranged
over a pure white taffeta lining, which
lias a soft aud rather unbdned finish.
The fronts are gathered at the waist
aud neck lines, where the fashionable
pouched effect Is given. The closing
is in centre-front, lining and waist
dosing separately and invisibly, whioh
is easily arranged by placing the hooks
and eyes just where the trimming
comes together. The seamless back
is smooth fitting across the shoulders
and drawn by gathers in centre at the
waist-line. The trimming is extended
across the bank to give the yoke effect.
The neck is finished with a high stand
ing collar, over which a wrinkled stook
of the organdy is arranged, closing
under gathered frills in the back, this

style having again taken the place of
the now passe bow of ribbon. The
two-seamed sleeves, which only have
fulness at the top, are disposed over
fitted linings, stylish donble epaulettes
standing out fashionably at the top.
Triple row of the frilled ribbon
form evenly spaced bands above the
elbow to correspond to the waist trim
ming, and the wrists are finished to
match the epaulettes and simulated
yoke.
For separate waists of silk or fine
woolen, as well as cotton fabrics, this
model will be found excellent, it be

to the applied decorations thst abound
in an almost endless variety of designs.
Tucking can be used in place of the
ribbon, as here shown, if the tucks are
made in groups in the material before
the pattern is laid on.
To make this waist for a woman of
medium si.e one and three-quarters
yavds of material forty-four inches
wide will be required.

A relief from the rather severe tailor

faced with black satin. The stylish
walking hat of cadet-blue has a black
aatiu, straw brim, row of ribbon en
circling the crowu with blaok and

side. The fronts, which are ahaped
without darts, are reversed at the top
in pointed lapels, that meet the rolling
