The Bank of France employs very
large number of women as accountants
in the classification of bills, in the CLASH
fication of coupons and in the depart
ment of printing and binding. The
ladies employed in this category are
called danes titulaires. They are paid
three francs (sixty cents) DAY, and are
required to pass preliminary examina-
tion in writing, spelling and arithmetic.
They must be from eighteen to thirty
five. In the printing Office an appren-
ticeship Of two years is required as
pamphlet sewers, These women work
in the same shop as the men, and are
paid at exactly the same rates. After
twenty years service they are retired
with pension of 400 francs $780, Rec

Properties of AIuminum.

Before dealing with the many proc
esses now in the field for the cheap pro-
duction Of aluminium. we may briefly
glance at the properties and special char
acteristics of the metal under considera-
ton Aluminium has white silver like
appearance. is both malleable and ductile,
and from its sonorous properties is much
used in the manufacture of bells. An
exceedingly important feature. is its
ightness, property which favors its
employment for many special purposes.
Aluminium has specific gravity of only
2.58-that is, is two and a half times as
heavy as water, and is four times lighter
than silver.
Heat and electricity are conducted by
aluminium as well as by silver, while it
does not oxidize in air even at red heat,
has no action on water at ordinary tenn
perature, and preserves its luster where
silver would tarnish. being thus specially
remarkable as the lightest metal capable
of resisting the action of air even in the
presence Of moisture. Chambers Jour

notice the revival of the old story of the
change young John Rowland made in his
name and fortune when he substituted his
Rowland with Stanley, and dropped John
for Henry NJ, being now known to the
world as the great African explorer. This
reminds me that several Of the great men
known to science, literature, war and art
were originally known by names almost
wholly unknown to the world at large.
Henry Wilson, vice president under
Grant, was christened as Henry Goliath,
and was known by that name until after
the end of his nineteenth year.
BY a curious coincidence q. S. Grant,
who was president at the time Wilson was
vice, as above mentioned, was also a hero
with q changed name. Prior to young
Grants eighteenth birthday ''U. s. Grant"
was a term unknown even in the embryo
generals family "H. q. Grant" would
sound odd il written on the pages of his
tory, but, in fact, would be perfectly
proper. The great general was christened
Hiram Ulysses Grant, and by the name Of
Hiram or "Hi" was known to all his school
fellows
Hon. T. L. Harmer, an ex-member Of
congress, is responsible for "U. S." Grant
being thrust upon the world. 1t came
about in this way: When the name of the
aspiring young man was sent In as candi-
date to West Point, by some oversight on
the part of Mr. Harmer it was sent as ~.
S." in place Of III. u" Grant. ~. s."
Grant was appointed. When he graduated
in 134s his commission and diploma were
both made out to "U. S." Grant, therefore
he was forced to accept the inevitable.
Jules Grevy, so well known as the late
president of the French republic, is neither
"Jules" nor "Grevy." but Judith Fancoir
Paul Greviot.
Frank Leslie was plain Henry Carter
until after he was twenty-seven years old,
adopting the new name on his arrival in
America.-St Louis Republic.

Praying Away q Plague.

A regular lawsuit with creatures obnox
ious and hurtful was common procedure
until the Eighteenth century, In 1898 an
immense inroad of grasshoppers came from
Asia into middle Europe. Austria and
Italy suffered most Everything was eaten
up The swarms seem to have been about
as thick and destructive az those in Kansas
in 1874. The people used all possible de
vices against the eggs and the insects. In
despair they took to prayer and the priests.
The following judgment was pronounced:
"As grasshoppers are obnoxious to the
country and to men, be it resolved by the
court that the priest shall, by candles burn
ing from the pulpit, condemn them in the
name of God, of his Son. and OF the Holy
Ghost"
AS all such creatures have their natural
cycle of development. and pass away at the
end of it, it is likely that some ones male
dictions hit it at the right moment. But
the trouble was that when expelled pre-.
ternaturally they must 60 to some other
land to be an equally bad curse This
struck upon the conscience of some, and
they refused to join in prayers to any such
end.-Mary e Spencer in St. Louis Globe

The Key to Victory in War.

No inventions, no changes in arms, can
alter the maxims of strategy. These are
immutable. Their use depends on the
character of the captains. But tactics
change with inventions in firearms. The
maneuvers of the battlefield must depend
upon the weapons Of the enemy, upon the
danger zones of his fire. From close we
have gone to open order, only to find that
scattered groups are apt to weaken dis
cipline; and today more than ever before
we need morale and cohesiveness on the
battlefield.
That commander who, despite the fear
full decimation of modern artillery and
small arms, can keep his battalions the
longest in heart, will win the day Many
intelligent essays are published to prove
this or the other system to be the one to
govern the maneuvers Of the coming bat,
tlefield, but in truth no one knows or can
argue out what is to be. A theory sound
today is discarded tomorrow. But few
facts are patent. Reliance can be placed
only on strictly national army
That nation the breasts of whose citizens
are barred for her defense with honest pa
triotism, and which has leaders who leave
no stone unturned to keep abreast Of war,
will remain the strongest No nation, in
the present condition of armed expectancy
which pervades all Europe, will, by better
arms or more recent inventions, be able to
dispense with this foundation. The rule
held good in the days Of the burgess soldier
of Rome 1t holds good now.-Colonel T.
A. Dodge in Forum

Behavior at Table.

Keep your mouth closed when eating.
Never play with food, nor mince youl
bread, nor handle your knife and fork OF
the glass or silver near you unnecessar-
lily. II a ishbone, etc.. should mad
vertently get into the mouth, the lips
must be covered with the napkin while
removing it. Never pick your teeth at
the table. Do not put large pieces Of
food in your mouth; il you are addressed
when your mouth is so filled, yod are
obliged to pause before answering until
the vast mouthful is masticated, or run
the risk of choking by swallowing it too
hastily. To eat very fast is a mark Of
greediness, and should be avoided.
Never soak up gravy with bread or
scrape your plate. Never, if possible,
cough or sneeze at the table. Do not
lean back in your chair.
The hostess or host should not insist
upon guests partaking of particular
dishes, nor ask persons more than once,
nor put anything on their plates which
they have declined. 1t is i'll bred to urge
a person to eat anything after he has de-
clined A half ladleful Of soup is enough
to serve, unless it is a country dinner.
where full ladleful may be given; but
do not fill the soup plate. Avoid the
appearance Of self engrossment when
eating, unless you wish to be considered
entirely devoted to your food Never
overload the plate of a guest or any
person you would serve II you are to
serve anything of which the supply is
limited, use discretion that all may en-
Joy some Of it.-Mrs s. q. Snider in
Housekeepers' Weekly.

New Plan for lssigasing Arid Lands.
The following suggestion appears
in . recent number Of the Denver
News:
Prof. James r. Names submits q
new artificial plan Of irrigating
arid lands. He states that this
now scheme ~ the result. Of long
study upon scarcity Of water for
irrigating, and the vast amount Of
money that has been spent in this
state alone, which has, 90 far, done
but little good to the state and the
farmers who find that the water
can not be carried by bitches 30
far as it is needed, and which has
caused bad feeling among them by
one trying to get more of the water
than his neighbor. BY his rev plan
Prof. Names says, each farmer
shall have his own water works
and use the water when no pleases.
The dams are simple and not ex.
pensive,' he adds. "A well 10 bored
in the center of each farm and a
small water work placed here. The
water is pumped up into an ele-
waited tank by steam, and forced
by hydraulic pressure through i,o,
pipes that are laid under ground to
the most convenient part Of each
quarter of the farm, and water
hydrant stationed. A hose pipe
can be attached, and the water
forced up in the air near the part
of the land to be irrigated, and it
falls as artificial rain Oh a part of
said land, at least once each day
in the season; and after all parts
have been watered, which will not
take long, then the man can attend
to other duties, and do away with
cutting bitches through the seeded
land, and tramping down and
washing away seed. When water
10 first turned into said bitches all
that work is done away with, and
the land gets the water just where
it is 10 needed on the surface, and
none Of the water 10 wasted. Fine
crops can be raised BY this system;
and 40 steam aud electricity and
hydraulic pressure can he used in
this new experimental farming
there is chance to introduce some
novel improvements that may be
of value; and if the capitalists Of
our city will study this matter
over, that may see thousands Of
acres of our waste land can be re-
claimed and made into fine FARMS"
