w Ihc aUg gltforian. ASTORIA. OREGON: SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 28. 188C DU1XG THE BEST. It is :i common impression that women are just beginning to work, because so many new fields of la bor within the past few yeas have been opened to them. Of course, anv one who pauses a moment to consider the subject knows that women have always done their fair share of work. Eve helped Adam make the fig-leal aprons; and ev ery Eve has helped her Adam, more or less, since then. But it is a point worth knowing whether, on that gloomy day in the Garden of Eden, when, thanks to the ser pent, they first discovered the need of a wardrobe, Eve sewed as well as Adam. If so, she has fallen from her high position of equality in that respect. The most accurate sewing, the most beautiful embroidery, is done by men. More women know the use of the needle, but men know bet ter lOf to use it. Those who like to speak slight ingly of women say that men are the better cooks. Certainly, this is t.ot because women have not haJ experience. Abraham, prop ei ly enough, gave the killing and cooking of the calf, "tender and good," to a young man; but Sarah made the bread, and the woman of the house has been the bread maker ever since, But wc must acknowledge that the Vienna bakers probably make better bread than even that which Sarah offered her unknown guests. "Women have stepped beyond these purely domestic duties. They have alto relinquished spin ning and weaving, because grasp ing machinery tote away these classic employments. They have entered the counting-room, the editor's sanctum, the store, as well as the pulpit and the doctor's of fice. They sit in the seat of the amanuensis, count the govern ment's money, report for the daily paper and send gossipy corre spondence to various publications throughout the land. And these are but a tithe of all the occupa tions to which they may honestly turn their hand. It would be unkind, perhaps impertinent, to continue the ques tioning as to whether these mod cm daughters of Eve do their work as well as the sons of that far-off seamstress. But it is cer tainly allowable to ask, Do they do as well as they can? Does each woman follow an ideal of accuracy, of faithfulness, of persistency? Xo ill-natured judge can take them to task for not doing better than they can; but it is not too much to ask that they shall do as well as they may. The same high standard should be required of young men as of young women; but just now the argus-C3?ed world is watching the sisters more closely than the 1 rot hers. Besides, there is doubt less too much truth in the frequent criticism that the work of a young woman is a make-shift till maniage opens a door to a different life. But, even if a girl has a ready "yes" in waiting for a suitable offer, that is no excuse for not do ins: well what she finds to do be fore that time. Carelessness is unpardonable, and iH-tJone work deserves no more than the poor wage it re ceives. Women have this matter wholly in their own hands, as workers in business, as teachers in schools, as mothers in families, and as girls at the gates of woman hood. Perfection is a high ideal; but perfection in trifles is attain able, and, as was said long since by a great, master, "Perfection itself is no trifle." The Austrian government has made the strange decree that no Austrian shall henceforth receive a passport for journeying beyond the frontier without the express consent of his wife. The measure has excited much commotion, but the government refuses to give its reasons for the step. ' - AX OCEANIC REPUBLIC. The Australasian colonies are aiming not only at federation among themselves, but at a policy which will make them dominant in the Pacific. They would proba bly have effected something before now but for the hanging back of south Australia. Since that col ony built the overland telegraph across the island, it has rested on its laurelsand refused to give its in fluence or its money to schemes for the common interest of the col onies. The Australians would like to establish the British power over NewjGruinea, Samoa and other im portant islands or groups ol the South Pacific. Great Britain would have no objection to this in itself, but the British taxpayer grumbles at demands upon his purse for objects in regard to which the colonies have a very di rect, interest and the mother coun try scarcely any. The home gov ernment has sought to impress upon the colonies that the empire will extend itself over the neigh boring islands if the Australians will pay the bills. The others might be well enough disposed to accept the terms, but south Aus tralia refuses to contribute, and so the plan of an Australian empire hangs fire. In default .of annexation it has been proposed to secure practical control of the coveted archipelago through private enterprise. It is believed by those who favor this plan that if the Australasian governments were to give their countenance to a South Sea Trad ing company, guaranteeing the interest on a capital stock of a quarter or half a million pounds sterling, the money could easily be raised, the German interests in Samoa and Tonga purchased, the home government induced to turn over to the company the ad ministration of New Guinea affairs, the company guaranteeing the protection of native interests, and such relations, with other island groups established, that they would naturally and inevitably fall under the dominance of the Australasian confederation. The scheme would seem to be within the strength of the United colonies, but might arouse German opposition. That empire is plant ing its colors all around the south Pacific, and the colonial enterprise would tend to create friction which might strike fire. In that case the outcome as a whole might be uncertain, although England and her enterprising Australasian colonies would be too strong for Germany at the antipodes. Small fly-wheels cast hollow and loaded with lead, is a foreign notion that promises to become popular in this country. They af ford the same centrifugal power as a large wheel, cost less and take up less room. Sheriff's Sale Monday, March 1,2 P.M. STEAMBOAT "ANNIE.'

Nothing is cheap at any price if you don't want, it, but if you want anything in our line you will never get it cheaper anywhere than it is now offered at the Crystal Palace. Some "bargains" are dear but we guarantee everything as repre sented. In the one line of silver ware we are clearing out magnifi cent goods at forty per cent, less than they can be bought elsewhere. Books are also being sacrificed, and stationery of all kinds can be had "for a song." Very handsome chains, rings, and lockets are being cleared out at prices that are surprisingly low. The stock must be sold and you have an opportunit to buy some thing that perhaps you long have desired to own or give to a friend, at a price lower than you ever ex pected. Come and take a look and ask the prices. Ye have a large force of salesmen and we es teem it a pleasure to show good?. The Crystal Palace. SHUTE & CO.,: FINE IMPORTED CIGARS.
