Salaries of Women in Public Service,

The salaries of the ladies employed
in clerical positions of the public SER
vice in Washington are, in some de-
partments, about the same as those paid
to men who do similar work. In others
they are smaller. Two women in the
treasury department, Miss Van Vran-
ken, Of New York, and Miss Seayy, of
Tennessee, receive Sl,S0Oa year, after
twenty-five years Of faithful service.
Miss Tanner has the same salary, and
FIVE others in the same department re-
ceive 81, 800, three have 81, 400, hun
dred have from $500 to $1,000. Many
who have been long employed, and who
have been prudent, are now the posses
sors OF comfortable fortunes on incomes
which most men would consider made
quate to their needs. Some OF the
elderly women keep neat little carriages
and are daily driven to their business.
In the bureau of engraving and printing
women are poorly paid, while men earn
good salaries. The men printers
earn s5 a day, while their woman assis-
tants, often fully able to take charge of
presses, only get s1.25. In the govern
ment printing Office men have SlS and
$40 week, while women are paid $40
for doing precisely the same work.

bis native land was given a job in a
railroad gang working near Hazleton,
Pa. He had not been there long when
he taxed one of his fellow-laborers, who
were all Italians, with being the daugh-
ter of one OF his neighbors at home. The
rest of the gang had long thought this
one rather queer; his effeminate appear

AT THE POLLING BOOTHS IN JAPAN.
Everybody Is Very Polite, Bowing to
Everybody Ese.


The polls had opened at 8 o'clock,
and one by one tht farmers had come
struggling in from the surrounding
country. The greater number gather
ed in the small meeting hall Just out
side of the polling-room, whence arose a
quiet buZzing. 1t was reminder of
the gathering in the churchyard Sun
day in old times, between the morning
and the afternoon services.
There was little laughter, less loud
argument, and no angry disputing.
Every now and then. like bees leaving
a hive, figure was seen to separate
from the rest and move off toward the
pOllingroom, and anon another return
ed. One saw among them here and
there the modern Japanese. with his
imitation of foreign garments, in ap-
pearance seldom elegant. often awk-
ward, and generally out of harmony
with the surroundings. But chiefly
there came the old-fashioned rustic, in
his best silk robes. with squarc-shaven
crown and short queue caught up and
tied-perhaps wearing the hakama, or
divided skirt of the old sumurai.
A gentleman in every act, he bows
as he enters to the official at the door,
carefully writes bis ballot aud aGlixes
his seal. then with great deliberation
folds it and places it in the oblong
official envelope.
For some of the voters il is necessary
to seek the assistance of the special
clerk in writing their ballots, 1t is
not that they cannot write. for every
body knows the plebeian kama or
syllable writing.
They prefer to see their ballots in
scribed with the more elegant Chinese
characters; and then. too. the kama is
sometimes ambiguous (for some words
have dozen different meanings). and
there is natural perturbation and a
desire to have their meaning clearly
aud correctly conveyed.
When the writing is finished the
voter walks over to the
tachiainin or inspectors. Here further
effusiOns of politeness take place.

Der, and address aud is checked off on
