Inv hhhEhlnceht lohnb OF st. Francis.
The tomb itself must be admired as a
masterpiece Of art. It surpasses all ones
expectations, and it Is doubtful whether
another mausoleum in the whole Of In
dia, or even Asia, excepting the Tai
Mahal, could be found to equal it. Its
three stages are built of rich marble of
~variegated colors. The lowest is of red
and purple jasper and Carrara alabaster,
adorned with statuettes of cherubs. The
middle stage is Of green and yellow jas
per, the principal decorations of which
are -four beautiful bronze plates repre-
senting incidents in the life of the saint.
The highest stage is surrounded by q
beautiful railing Of red jasper marked
with white spots.
This railing is adorned with figures of
angels, and its middle portion is graced
with columns elegantly carved and
standing Mt equal intervals.
The intervening spaces are surmounted
with arches, and have several incidents
in the life of the saint represented on
them The friezes of its four lateral
columns are of black stone, with white
stripes, while the plinths are of yellow
jasper. On the top of this stage lies the
far-famed coffin, overlaid with silver,
in which the remains of the saint are de-
posted. 1t is u gorgeous receptacle, di-
vided on each side into seven panels
containing some exquisite plates present
ing in relief some of the more important
incidents in the life Of the saint. Indian

A recently published book in Paris
gives many interesting facts about the
employment Of wumeu in France. Teach
ers are plenty and receive small pay
The high schools for women comprise
the Normal school at Seyres, twenty-six
l~yceuns, Of which two are in Paris, and
twenty-six colleges. The educational
curriculum differs from that for boys.
For entrance the highest French diploma
is required. or u foreign one that an
swers to it The candidate must not be
less than twenty-one years Of age, and
u submit to the preliminary trials
fixed by the law Of 1860.
The salary Of the directresses is fixed
at a minimum Of $500 francs 81, 300.
and that of the under teachers at l,4OO
francs $3.50. For the schools in Paris
the salary is slightly higher. The stew
ards, or rather clerks, of the high schools
must pass two years apprenticeship in
n Of them, and must produce a ccrtif
cate. Five years service is necessary
before they can receive promotion. At
Sevres the mistresses have board, lodg-
ing and washing free.
The teachers of drawing receive from
1000 $500 to 5000 francs ($6OO) a year,
in return for which they must give six
teen hours teaching a week. They are
paid extra for supplementary lessons.
The teaching Of gymnastics is also con
fined to ladies in the girls schools. They
must have a certificate of competency
and give at least twelve hours n week in
lessons. The salary is from !, 900 $500
to 1000 francs 600, and sixteen hours
service may be required of them every
week without extra pay. The date Of
the %concours for these posts is fixed every
year by the minister OF the interior.
Besides the usual documents aspirants
must produce a medical certificate Of
their physical capacity. The average
salary Of a g%overness is 200 francs $40
a year, but as this is a private matter it

THE JEWEL cAsKET.

Moonstone jewelry is tout in new patterns
for the summer season.
Lockets and crosses are REVEALS that
have evidently come to stay.
Plain colored and Etruscan gold birds
continue to please the feminine fancy.
For those who admire massive iewelry
we commend the large curb chain bracelets
in gold.
Neck chains from which hang flower
pendants are worn by children, misses and
young ladies.
Heart shaped jewel boxes of opaque white
glass. with silver rims and satin Innings,
are quite new.
Artistic vinaigrettes are richly mounted
with chased and ornamented gold, and set
with precious stones.
For mems fob chains there are seal and
intaglio lockets, also gold and platinum
ones set with precious stones.
With the present fashion for semi-pre.
cious stones of pleasing c%olors, American
stones have come to the fore.
The new parasol handles show three
styles of decoration; the silver deposits,
the silver applied and the silver inlaid.
Old fashioned diamond buckles are again
worn on satin shoes for full dress occasions
by ladies who are so fortunate as to possess
them.
Numbered with new pendants for the
watch chain are little gold bags, the draw
strings of which are simulated by tiny gold
cords.
The handsomest earrings seen In some
time are hoops of small size formed of two
rows Of gems, the inner one being of
%sapphires, while diamonds a size larger
form the outer row.-Jewelers' Circular.
