Women in French Railway ofices.

In order to obtain employment in the
administration of the railways in France
it is necessary to be either the daughter,
wife or widow Of an employe. Nearly
500 ladies are thus employed. Indeed,
at French railway stations the ticket
sellers are nearly all women. In the rail-
ways there is not the same just payment
as in the other state departments. Here
the women are paid just half as much as
the men while working quite as much.
The Credit Foncier employs about

that is to say, twelve out of twenty.
The salary in the first stage is three
francs day, rising to 1,700 a year
$40. A tax Of per cent. levied upon
the salary gives the right to a pension
after twenty years service.
In the Credit Lyonnais women are

the rules are not yet fixed. A cashier
receives the salary of 2 1000 to $500 francs
year, and clerk from three to FIVE

WALL PAPERING.
Suggestions to ANY Courageous Amateur
About to Try Hand at 1t.

Suggestions to ANY Courageous Amateur
About to Try Hand at 1t.
The cost of papering lies nowadays largely
in the labor employed. So sight OF the
many pretty papers that can be cheaply
Thought is apt to inspire housewife with a
desire to try her own hand at wall paper
Einc. To such an ambitious soul the follow
ling hints may be helpful:
Select from the household one patient,
svmpathetic helper and Danish all the rest.
1.-TWO pair of hands make the work easier,
one person being required to stand on the
steps and lay the paper even with the cor
mice, the second remaining on the floor to
Eunfold the double upstripand place 1t even
ly with the hung piece all down the edge.
A beginner should select paper neither
Hoo thin nor too thick, and which has dis
.kinct mark on the pattern, repeating ITSELF
at short intervals so that the strips should
match exactly.
First. the wall should be well cleaned,
the old paper or whitewash removed, and
hll cracks and holes filed with plaster OF
paris and allowed to dry.
For room requiring eight or nine rolls
bf paper, four pounds of flour should be
heated to stiff batter with clear, cold
water Then, having a vessel full Of boil
NO water at hand and a vessel containing
The batter, large enough to hold two pals
full, pour the boiling water upon the bat
Ter, stirring 1T bIiskly, and the batter will
swell and its white color change to yell
owish hue When this occurs stop pour
ng in the boiling water, and fine, smooth
paste will be found.
It is usual to cut the strip Of paper a
title longer than is necessary, so that it
Ian be cut off neatly at the base board,
hitter it is put on, as the base board may
bot be straight nor parallel with the ceiling.
Take care to study the pattern of paper
well before you cut it out; then unroll
biece from which the left hand imprinted
margin has been evenly cut. Cut off the
"trip, and lay it face downward on the
able, keeping the top of the strip always
% your left hand; now paste over well and
qually, beginning at the lower end. When
bout half done fold it over, pasted side to
pasted side, while you draw the rest on to
he board to finish it, and when one strip
prepared mount the steps, attach it
ently to the wall overhead, while the as
istant draws down the doubled up piece.
When quite straight, dab the edges with
lean cloth and sweep lightly with clean
10th, or a soft, long haired brush, all
wrinkles before you from left to right.
.astly, loosen up the bottom of the strip
efficiently to cut it off the right length,
nd press back in place again.
Begin your work away from the window,
that the joins may show less, and that
he strongest light may not fall on your
rst efforts.
When a corner is reached, cut the strip
necessary; if the same strip is half on
ne wall and half on the other, the paper
more liable to crack in the corner of the
pom.

DRAMATIC NOTES,

The Russian authorities recently refused
to allow Nine. Modjeska to appear in ST.
Petersburg because she is a Pole.
Rumor has it that Miss Emma Eames,
the young American prima donna who
has been so successful in London, will
soon marry Julian Story, also an American,
and an artist of considerable reputation.
Mr.. Meier, the polysyilabic dramatic
critic of the New York Herald, is collabo-
rating with Paul Potter, of CITY Direc-
tory" and ugly Duckling" fame, it is
said, in the preparation of another bio
graphical drama for Richard Mansfield,
who has made such a hit with Clyde
Fitch's stage story of Beau Brummel's
life. They have taken Dean Swift for their
subject.
Julia Marlowe has been invited to spend
the summer with Fanny Davenport at the
latter's Pennsylvania country home; Lolita
and Maggie Mitchell will invade Long
Branch, along with many less well known
and perhaps younger soubrettes; Langtry
and Nine. Modjeska will summer in Eu-
rope; the Canadian woods will afford
refuge for charming Rose Coghlan; Mrs.
Leslie Carter will go to the Continent, and
Clara Morris will rest after her plucky
fight against illness at her home near
Tarrytown, n. Y.

graduated in 1867 at the age of sixteen. He
spent two years at Trinity college, Hart
ford, and entered West Point in 1869. He
graduated from that institution in 1873,
and was assigned as a lieutenant to the
Fourth artillery, which is his present regi-
ment.
Lieutenant Totten was confirmed into
the Episcopal church by Bishop Williams
at the age of thirteen. During his youth,
however, he was materialistic in his views,
but az his mind expanded he became self
convinced and avowed Christian. He ac-
cepts the Bible literally, and believes as
firmlyin Moses and the prophets as he does
in Christ and the apostles. His calculation
of the exact date of the conjunction which
fixed Joshua's ''long day" has brought his
name prominently before the theological
world.
Lieutenant Totten has distinguished
record as an inventor, as well as Biblical
eXpouIder. He is the author of 'Strate-
gos," the American game of war, which
received the Endorsement of men like Won
Moltke, Wolseley and Bollinger He is
also a well known contributor Of scientific
articles to the magazines and a professor
of Yale university

Many people who have never seen run
ming high jump imagine that the athlete
clears the bar perfectly straight or In
manner shown by the illustration "a
straight jump" This picture is very I'M
like the other two illustrations which
correctly portray the way great heights
are cleared. The athlete while jumping
straight will land with his back to the bar
after clearing it, but the usual method in
high jumping is to turn when in the air
and land facing the obstacle. Those who
are unfamiliar with jumping express sur
prise at the usual style displayed, and con-
slider that it is not quite fair to wriggle
and twist so much in making the jump.
Whenever dog or horse leaps an obsta-
Gle the movement is straight ahead, for the
head is always pointed in the direction the
animal is travelling, but man in negotiat-
ing height pursues far different tactics,
as can be seen by the illustrations other
than that of the straight jump.
One picture represents an athlete who
has risen to the bar and has his legs
over safely. 1t will be noticed how far in
front of him his feet are, and whether he
will be able to get his hips over is a ques-
ton. The other picture, past danger"
shows the same athlete when he is COM
pletely over the bar. 1t will be seen that
his left leg is extended preparatory to
alighting, and the fact of his right side be-
ing toward the bar shows that he left the
ground with his right foot. He will land
with his face to the bar. 1t must not be
imagined that the great distance he appears
to be from the bar is sign that he cleared
it by corresponding distance.
A beginner in practicing for a running
high Jump should clear only very low

tall, and weighed 100 pounds. The next
best English jumper is j. w. Parsons, who

Running high jumping is essentially a
game in which a great deal of improvement
can be made, and the records show that
athletes who have persevered and worked
hard have increased their performances a
great deal. There is so much science in the
sport that after one has acquired good
style height can be cleared with much
less effort than in former years.

Friendly to the United States.

t is undoubtedly largely owing to the
Euence of his American wife that Lord
|ndolph Churchill-who recently started
an exploring trip to Africa-has al
|ys taken a friendly interest in the

\ SacAville-West incident he was the
~ British statesman who recognized the
tlce of President Cleveland's position in
banding the recall of the imprudent
blister. BE publicly rebuked the London
kndard for stirring up a feeling of bitter

nd was the only course TO secure perma-

the necessary strength and spring much
better by clearing low heights often than
great heights infrequently. If he is jump
ing on clay ordinary smooth soled shoes
will suffice, but when jumping on grass
shoes with two spikes in the heel and the
regular six spikes in the soles should be
worn. Make no effort to adopt any par
ticular style, and do not try TO twist
when clearing the bar, for this will come
of its own accord as the bar gets higher.
There are so many styles of jumping that
it is useless to prescribe any certain method
to adopt, and it makes no difference with
which foot the leap is made.
A good rule in determining the proper
distance from the bar to leap from is TO
use mark which corresponds with the
height of the bar. For instance, if the ath-
lete is practicing with a bar feet high
the toe of the foot he jumps with should
be not over feet away from point di-
rectly underneath the bar. Some good
jumpers in clearing this height do not take
off more than feet from the bar. When
w. B. Page made the worlds record-6 ft.
in.-he took off just about 6 feet from
the bar, but when Guy Richards cleared
