How General Spinner Opened Pnblle Of flee, to the Employment of the Kir S. Vi'ng of "Women In tho Government lepartinents" In Tho Woman's Homo Comounion, Mary N'iramo Uulcntin Bays: 'It Is a curious fact that this K;orious country grew und prospered from the days of 177(5 to the period of tho civil war and founded and perft'Ctol tho greatest govern ment upon Mirth ix-foro women were In vited to Itear a hand In tho public duties, even in tho most casual manner During all these years there wus a total exclusion of women from the work of the executive departments. Now tliey an? seen wher ever government work is u'in conducted, in places of high trust. superior tklll and high emolument. "It was in la)2 that General Francis R. Spinner, treasurer of tho United States, succeeded in owning tho government de partments to the employment of women. The civil war was at its height and every nhlcbodicd man was needed in the front of battle for the protection of the country. 'If ever I 6triko a successful blow for women, now is my time, said General b'pinncr. Tho first legal tender notes had lecn Issued; they were printed In sheets of four notes each, and men were employed to cut them apart with shears. General Spinner maintained that women could handle the shears more deftly than men, and Secretary Chase finally consent ed to let him experiment with women em ployees. The first one engaged was Jennie Douglas, and her first day's work settled tho matter In her favor and that of wom ankind. Other women were employed. The men left, and tho women took their places. Soon, however, a machine to cut tho money was invented, and tho, women were discharged. General Spinner now convinced tho officials that the nlmblo lingers of women were peculiarly adapted to the counting of notes. lie had employ ed his daughters In his own bank and knew they could work nioro rapidly than men. lie was permitted to engage seven women, who were regularly appointed as counters of United States money. The seven pioneers did their work so well that It was not long before congress was mak ing appropriations for the employment of women In all of tho executive depart ments. It Is true tho women received but half tiro Bulary paid to men for the same work at tho beginning, but the salaries were gradually Increased until now a woman receives tho same salary as a man In the public service when sho does the same work. It was a grand achievement for women. All honor to the hero who fouRht it , to completion I Small wonder that women aro at work raising a fund to erect a stutuo to his memory."

The Canine. It Tyrannical and Mrs. Jor kloa I th Sufferer, forking owns a dog, or, to be more ex plicit, the dog owns Jorkins, and they both live with Mm. .lor kins In a lint, much to tho discoiulituru of that good woman, who (Kk-s not as a general thing tolerate dogs. IMpcr has more, senso . J.tnu . most . poo-, plo," Jorkins Kays when expatiating on tho virtue of his favorite. "Yes," Mm. .lorkins adds, sarcastically, "ho knows enough to romo in when it rains, because ho hates to get wet." Hx:r Is a dog of jmrts part terrier, with a strain of bird dog and a dash of water spaniel lie dislikes to get his feet wet and is afraid of a gun. lie seldom barks at night and would wag his tall at 6lght of n burglar and accompany him through tho house noiselessly. lie has one accomplishment, and one only. Ho goes down three Ilights of flat stairs ovory morning to bring up tho daily paper, which Mrs. Jorkins gets from him by strategy in the course of the day after ho has chewed it to pulp. Jorkins had often intimated to Mrs. J. that It was no trouble to bring up a canine hybrid by hand and believes that now, when ho is brought up and they can neither sell, lose him or glvo him away, that her ministrations should continue, and that if sho cannot go out and take Piper with her it Is her duty to stay at homo. The other day Mrs. Jorkins struck. She hod often threatened to, and on ono occa sion bad struck tho dog. Sho now re fused to attend to Piper's diet 'another hour. She declared sho might ns well Jive In a rlcelleld as to bo eternally cooking rico In tho flat kitchen for that dog. She said that Piier ate a gallon of boiled rice per diem. "I'll seo him further," 6ho said to tho astonished Jorkins, "before I turn myself into a Hindoo, cooking rice for him. Try it yourself and 6eo how you like It." Jorkins was crushed. Ho nskod meekly where the rico was kept and spent the rest of the day cooking it, while his wife retired with a bad headache. He filled every tub, pan, pail and basin In tho fiat with boiled rice, tho proportions of which appalled him. Hiding ns much of it as he could, ho took in n steaming mess to give Piper, who had concealed himself un der Mrs. Jorkins' lounge. "You can't give a dog redhot food," taid his wife. "You must cool it for him. I always do." Her husband looked at her with admira tion. He was beginning to think her a martyr. Ho took tho rico and tho dog into tho kitchen, whither Mrs. J. presently followed him. She found him on his knees, with his bicycle pump, hard at work. Ho was cooling tho rice, whllo Piper sat by and howled. Chicago Times Herald. 'Vastcd Kludzru. Three young women wero standing on tho curb at tho corner of Kuclid nvenuo and Krlo street, peering down the avenue with anxious faces.
