Seat that saves strength The greatest editor in Amer ica, who is also an active humanitarian, writes force fully and pathetically of women's household drud gery: "Do you realize that it is an absolutely primitive, stupid thing to carry coal up stairs and build a little waste ful fire? It is cruel to let women with thin shawls over their heads lug out and pick among the ashes with their blue-cold fingers, to do all the heavy after-sweeping and clean ingthe useless labors that make old, bent backs of those upon whom the health and strength of the coming men and women depend."
