THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
Women Teachers.,
Woman has won her present position
• in the public sohools from begurningsa s
eneall as the grain of mustard -seed. In
Barnard's Rhode IslandiReport for 1845
hesays that in all the sehools he visit-
ed, or from which returns were received,
out of Providence, (and excepting the
primary departments of a few central
_ districts,) he found only six female
teachers, and -that, with the above ex-
ceptions, there could not have been
more than twice that number employed
in the whole State. His successor, who
visited the same schools in 1861, fotind
more than 200 female teachers; but he
thought two-thirds of those taught by
Men, even then, 'Would have been bet-
ter taught and disciplined by women.
1. 1837 there were in Massachusetts
3,591 female teachers, and in 1848 their
number had swelled to 5,510. This in-
crease Horace Mann considered a great
-reform, believing wouten much better
adapted to the work. In 1870, accord-
ing to the census, about 74 per cent. of
all the teachers in the United States
were women. In New England the ex -
Cess of women teachers over men is
very great; but in most of the Western
and. also in. the Southern States there is
a '3n:taller percentage. In Maine the
proportion in. summer is about .97 per
cent. and in Winter only 55 per cent.;
in Vermont nearly 90 .per cent. of the
teachers are women throughout the
year, and. in New York about 67 per.
cent. In New York City more than 90
per cent. of the teachers are women
and in other large cities the preponder-
ance of women over men is very great.
No doubt the economy of employing
women as teachers goes -far to explaiar
their rapid increase, but their wages as
well as their numbers also have steadily
increased. It is recorded that Polly
Hovey, one of the firstfenaale teachers
in Maine, was paid, in .1792, 51.50 per
week. In Iowa, at one tirne, two wo-
men tanght for 54.29 a Month; thougli
the average salary of women teachers
in that State was 57.64 per month.
Even men were not very liberally paid.
. in old tirees, for in Watertown, Mass.,
in 1650, a schoolmaster was hired for
one year for $30, and, allowed "2 shill-
ings a head for keeping the dry -herd:"
It is mentioned in one of the -Massa-
chusetts Normal School Reports that
one of th.e young men graduates rei.
ceived, when he entered upon hie ca-
reer, $13 a month and " boarded round."
By the way, that old custom of "board-
ing round" is generally supposed to
have died out; but it is still in vogue in
many places, and in at least one district
in Pennsylvania all the teachers receive
515 a month and. board in. this manner.
-Who but the victim himself can describe
the miseries of "boarding round" in
rambling country villages—of living for
a week or month on tea and pie, and
, -then only exchanging the bill of fare for
- pie and tea; of sleeping. under leaky
roofs, upon pillows which the rains and
snows of heaven bedew; of shivering
in breakfast rooms, where, if a drop of
water fall upon the table -cloth, though
the stove be in close proximity, it is in-
stantly frozen ?. And yet the physical
discomforts are often the least of the
homeless teacher's trials. To return to
wages, certain male, graduates of the
Bridgewater Nornaal School, who began
with $25 or $30 a month, including
board, now receive $3,200 a year, and a
few 4.,000;5'and salaries of • women
graduates have increased in the same
proportion. To be sure, there is too ofs
tee a lamentable difference between the
sexes in respect to wages, but women,
at least those employed. in cities, un-
doubtedly earn more than they could
obtain in other occupations: Probably
few clerks or opdatives earn as do 900
teachers in Boston, 515.39.every week
in the year, including 10 week's vaca-
tion. . In Massachusetts the average
salary per month of men for 1875 was
$87.37 ; of wonaen, 535.35. In Maine'
men, $37; women, $18. In Pennsyl-
vania, men $4L07; women, 434.09: In
Ohio, men, $60; women, $44. In Mich-
igan, men, 51.29;5women, $28,19. But
in some States, as in Iowa, the rule is
becoming general to pay men and WO -
mop the same salary /for the same grade
of work. In the City of St. Louis no
distinction is made between the sexes
in -fixing the teacher's salaries; and the
California Legislature of 1873 enacted
that the female teachers in the public
schools should in all cases receive the
same compensation as men for like ser-
. vices. A few of the Southern States,
. which employ more men th.an women,
et1:1 pay the same salary for the same work
to both sexes • and Idaho, Nevada, and

Arizona report the, same custom.

el
, The Arsenic Eaters.
Some female doctor through the aid
e _ of the newspapers is making a terror of
arsenic -eating in New York. Accord-
ing to her disclosures, the arsenic habit
has spread to an enormous extent, and
is more and more rapidly accumela ing
I
s
its victims. They are all among the
fair sex. too, which makes ib so in ich
the more terrible to oontenim de.
Whiskey and opium, the other two as-
cinating enemies loved so wildly, en-
thrall both sexes in their potent charms,
' but the arsenic eaters are all women.
The habit means early wreck of beauty
and sure ruin of health, but what does
it matter ? They shine while they
may, The doctor tells how the habit
may be detected, as follows: You May
, ff detect the arsenic eaters amoug the
t pretty shop girls. Look for those who
.1
• -: are plump, but have cold, creaany-white
- e camploxions and dropsical -looking eye-
' lids. Some of these unfortunate girls
; - have actually been compelled to Lake
'
' . arsenic to retain their positions. About
' three years ago a Youne girl not more
then eighteen years old carne to me and
asked me to 'criVe her a prescription for
t 2- arsenic and directionfor its use. I
asked her why she wanted to take it.
She replied, "To fatten me," I tried
-. 1. to reason with her,
tolling her what the
evil effects of the stuff would be, but it
was TM use. The forewoman of :the
, e store where she was employed had said
to her: "You are so lean that you lbok
like & death's head. Customers hate
to sea you about. You wili either have
to seat fatter or go somewhere else."
" How can I get fat," she asked. "Take
arsenic," the forewoman said. So she
hed come to learn hoW to be an arsenic
eater. She contracted the habit, and
the doctor saw her afterward looking
plump and beautiful. She said to the
girl: I see you got the arsenic."
she said, - 'vith a sigh. She
lasted only a few mo ths, for she con-
traeted a hideous skin disease on her
fame and. the store was done with her.
The doctor says that thousands of shop-.
girls are going that way. The arsenic
habit is making terrible ravages, too, M •
fashionable circle. There- are many:
preparations in which the poisbn exists;
while the name and all suggestions of
its presence are concealed. It is very
hard to deteet the effects of arsenic in
a pretty face in the street. There are
so many feminine -tricks of conceal-
ment, and the arsenic eater hides her
'puffed eyelids—a sure sign—by the use
of a filmy lace half -veil. Yet she is
walking in the shadow of death.—St.
Lotus Republican.
Cruelty Practised in Training
Children. for Circus Perform-
. ers.
A suit has just been brought inPldla-
delphia by the Soci ty for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to • hildren, against a
circus keeper. The jgrounds for action
were as under:
Three years ago irs. Lucy Coles was
left a widow with thjree children, whom
she made heroic st g,gles to support,
but soon found. hers lf in the depth of
poverty. One of t1ie children was a
pretty girl of seven. A friend suggested
that she be taught t4 be a circus per-
former. A trainer of youthful acrobats
and riders was made her legal guardian
until she was eighteen. In return for
services she was to be fed and clothed,
and was to have eleven quarters school-
ing during her apprenticeship. The
lessons were cruelly inculcated by the
ringmaster's riding ' whip. She was
taught to leap and ride bareback, to
stand on one foot and hold the other
out at a signboard angle with one hand,
to pirouette, to jump through the paper -
covered hoops, to squat with her legs at
right angles with her body, and various
other feats that are only acquired by
long, hard practice4 Her companions
were four other little ones. She wept
at first and made many. bluaders, but
the fear of the lash con forced her into
an acquirement of he lessons. Then
she was taken to a d ncing-master, who
taught her jig step and fancy poses.
She was placed in t e care of a woman
who travelled with O'Brien's circus,
and with the troupe she made a_ tour
througlfrthe country The woman who
had her in charge is said to have tra-
versed the contine4tt without paying
fare for her, hidin her beneath her
skirts by day. La. ely she performed
in Philadelphia, an her mother had
her eyes opened te the real dangers to
which she was subjected in her eques-
trian work.
A Long and Gallant Swim for
Life—Twenty-One Hours in
Lake Ontario.
One night about three -weeks -ago
as the schooner Bay Leaf was cross-
ing Lake Ontario, James Ferguson,
of Detroit, who was second mate of
the craft, was thrown overboard, and
as he was the o ly man onthe deck at
the time, his absence was' not noticed
until too late to bring the vessel about
in an effort to rescue him.
When Ferguson fell into the water
the schooner was sailing rapidly before
a fair wind, and the unfortunate man
could only swim for life. One by one
he divested himself of coat, vest' and
shoes, and for n hpur or more kept
himself ttfleat, whenhe fortunately came
aeross a piece of board about four feet
long and a foot wide. With this slight
assistance, Ferguson was able tp secure
occasional breathing spells, .and' when
daylight came ho found himself out of
sight of land and with no sail in hailing
distance.
Having kept his bearings in a great
measure, the swimmer struck out for
shore with his board, being then, as he
estimated, 15 miles out in the lake. All
day long, and -with a hot sun beating
down upon his bared head, Ferguson
worked to shore, and finally, after being
in the water and without food nearly
21 hours, he landed safely on shore near
the village of Niagara, but considerably
exhausted.
Next morning efr. Ferguson arrived
in Detroit, and walking into his house,
No. 506 Fifth street, presented himeelf
to his overjoyed wife, who, ever since
she first heard that her husband had
fallen into the lake and been drowned,
stoutly maintained that she could not
believe he had been drowned.

The Commercial Effect of a
Large Crop.
The influence of a heavy crop of ce-
reals in business depends on a very
well known fact of human nature. The
desires of men are practically limitless.
A man can subsist on fifty' cents a day,
but he can spend on the "necessaries of
life 510,000 a year." Every pleasant
and agreeable object is a temptation,
'especially if a man has corn in the crib,
fat cattle in the pen, or money in his
pocket. Corn in the pen will rot, and
if the crop is excessive, will fall in
price S cattle will eat .their own heads
off if kept too long; and money stored
away adds nothing to the enjoyment of
life. Hence, wheel a men sees his field
wide and rich, his month waters
for objects never before within
his reach; a new buggy, a new
het, or sewing machine, or book, or
organ, now begins to loom up among
the possibilities. The vague desire to
be eiviized necessitates the means of
culture. Hence the great impulse of
all branches of trade and manufac-
tures must begin at the farm. The
number of marriages is regulated by
the crops. Edmund Burke said "men
breed by the mouth." The prospect of
plenty encourages every now venture to
gain wider ranges of ha.ppinOss. This
year follows a year of plenty.' Nothing
business, proper distributi n of capital
is needed for success but )tit'tention to
and attention to the laws of trade.

was taken I was e5aUrely well, and have remained
so, although I wee much exposed through the

dyspepsia and b onchial affections, and would
advise all similar y affeeted to give them a trial."
