Five Hundred Thousand More Women ‘Than Men in England. From the National Review. ‘The usual retort, When women complain of want of remunerative employment, is that they should not work, but find men to support them. As there are 500,000 more Women than men in England, it 4s obviously impossible that every woman should havea husband. This state of tings is as bad in Germany also, The preponderance of the women over the men 1s greatest in the professional and upper middie classes, Among the richer artstoc- racy of England, and the absolutely working People, the sexes are still equal in number, and women can still marry. But the sons of clergy- men, officers, civil servants, lawyers, doctors and some of the country gentry tind the struggle for existence too great in thiskingdom; they emigrate or leave the country by joining the military or naval service. Their sisters all remain at home, unable to find husbands, and unedu- cated’ for work, even domestic’ work. These “superfluous women” most undoubuy, as a body, perform the first duty of their sex—that of being charming; they are often hand- some, are generally well mannered, and well dressed. They are “charmers,” but ‘there 1s no one tocharm. They kuow very well that thelr chances of marriage are almost nil; therefore, should a solitary suitor with even a modest com: petency appear, they feel driven to accept the first man who asks them, whether they care for him or not, and most generally they do not. Their pa- rents wish to get rid of them, so they marry with- out love. An evil arises out of this more ghastly than can be described. ‘The marriage of conven- fence is a recognized social institution abroad. In England in this nineteenth century the women of the upper middie classes adopt It without acknowl edzing it. However we inay affect to deny it, there is a Yast amount of married unbappiness in all classes, ‘The fault 13 sometimes ascribed to the present degeneracy of women und sometimes to the deterioration of men. our Social system, Which gives a woman neither ‘Work nor money, and obiiges her to sell herself De- fore she has lost her only salable commodities— Youth and beauty. As there exists four “‘superfu- ous women” to one man, the female has no choice, While the lordly male aS the greater humber from Whom to pick and choose. Therefore, in this coun- ty many women have not only no cance of mar- rying av all but no freedom of selection whatever. se rect Jay Gould and the Brakeman, From the Chicago Tribune. “can’t allow that, my dear sir,” sald a brake- man on one of the Wabash lines the other day, rather sharply, to a passenger who was trying to crack a pecan on the end of a car seat, ‘The offender, asmall man of quiet demeanor, looked up and remarked that he was not hurting ‘on cast fron. “I can't help thatsir,” said the brakeman. “Sup- head in our direction, and he saw us as quick!y as | pose we let everybody crack nuts on the car seats; we did him.
