LADY OPERATIONS.

* Prediction that They win Soon Handle
tho Key to the Exclusion Of the Mem
The telegraphic profession will, we
predict, says the current number OF
the Photographers Advocate, in the
course Of a few years, be composed Of
female members entirely. In every
large Office in the United States, the
proportion Of male and female en-
ployes is undergoing slow but posi-
tive change, Ten years ago the ratio
was about 80 males to one female
operator; five years ago the ratio was
reduced to about Is males to 1female,
while to-day it is less than 6 toll. At
this same rate of growth, in thefuture,
but ten years will he required to bal
cethe scales. Fifteen years from to-
day will find the female members in the
ma ority, and twenty years hence 1t VIII
be difficult for male operators to pro-
cure work at the key, at any price. The
days OF male operators are numbered.
The talk that lady operators are physl-
cally unequal to tho task OF working
heavy circuits, incompetent to receive
press, etc, ismere bosh. They can be,
and are rapidly being educatedt to meet
the requirements of the profession.
They are reliable, which at once gives
them an advantage over the male
members. The Western Unions
heaviest circuits in the main office for
years have been handled by women.
Gradually the handful of women con-
fined to a. few city wires in a remote
corner of the great operating room has
grown to an army, spreading it's use
fulness to every section and de-
partment Of the company. Five
years ago 80 women were employed at
1876, today there are over 275. In the
city of New York, the Western Union
force five years ago, consisted OF about
$50 men and 100 women; to-day, not
withstanding the natural increase of
business, it stands about 5OOmen and
$50 women. While the force has been
increased to the extent Of 100 operat-
ors, the male portion thereof has de-
creased to the extent OF about $50.
These figures also apply to other Sec
tions to a greater Or less degree. For
instance. the heavy New York circuits
in Albany are now in the hands of
women, who receive $50 and $40 a
month less than the men whose places
they so recently filed OF course the
saving to the Western Union company
is sufficient recompense for any incon-
venience to which they may be sub.
jected, while they persistently dwell
upon the reliability of the women as
compared with the men as areasonfor
making the changes.

A sKILFul SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr.. Kasson, has lately forwarded to his
Government an interesting account of
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con-
sisted in the removal of portion
of the human stomach, involving
nearly one-third of the organ-and,
strange to say, the patient recovered
the only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is peculiar indies
cribable distress in the stomach, feel
ing that has been described as u faint

morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, it
appears to aggrayate the feeling. The
eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky

Complaints of intense heat and
scarcity of water have been received
from the British troops in Egypt.
The march commences at 2 A. NJ.
and lasts all day, the men being
allowed two pints of thick, muddy
water. The soldiers offer dollar
for tumblerful and wish they were

sixty hours without drink. General
Stewart had left Howenjatt for Oak

Burnaby who accompanies him to
Motamnet. Later advices from
Egypt report that thirty camels
dropped dead on the march from
Howenjatt. Most of the waterskins
leaked and the troops drank all their
water at once. They bore up bravely,
however, even singing on their
march. They are very anxious to
fight.
