WOMEN AT WORK.
In St. Petersburg women pay only one-l*alf.of what men do for a ride in a cab. In the factories of Baden, Germany, 28.20 per cent, of the workers are women and girls over 18. Few women consider that they carry some 40 or 50 miles of hair on their head; the fair-haired may even have to dress 70 miles of threads of gold every morning. Women were first permitted to become employes in government offices in 1802, when Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase appointed six women clerks.
