PosToFFICE WOMEN.
The History of An Army of British
 Breadwinners.
London Chronicle:

London Chronicles:
 There are 33,s1S women employed Tn the postoffice. The early experiments in their employment date back to lSto. When the postoffice took over the tele- graph system from the companies Wom- en were in the employ of these com panies. In 1871, the year immediately following the transfer. there were siz women employed as telegraphists. Their history in the companies dates back to 1853. It is stated that their introduction was due to the influence of Major General Wylde. one of the d. rectors of the Electric Telegraph Com pany. The late Queen. upon whom Major General Wylde was then in at- tendance, Is asserted to have eVinced a considerable interest in the opening of this employment to women.
 The first postoffice in which tele- grams were entrusted to women was the west Strand office. and they even- tually became so expert that they were employed in signaling the Queeeh speech, which was then viewed as an important test. Soon after the post office took them over they began to de- crease in numbers. and in 1881 there were only 570 of them employed. Thelr average salary in 1871 was Is lid per week in London and 1es 9d in the pro- yinces. In 1881 it had improved to 2Ss 1od in London and 19s lid In the prov inces. MT. Scudamore had previously

THE HOT WAVE.
Maximum Temperature Yesterday Was e5 at 9 P. M, But
 Humidity Was Higher.

The hot wave, which prevailed Fri day, modei ated somewhat over most Of the South yesterday. Tn Montgom- cry the highest temperature yesterday was 9S at D. m., though on account of the high humidity which prevailed, this degree of heat was felt almost as much as the 105 of Friday, when the humidity was but 17 per cent.
 The difference in the relative amount of moisture in the air plays quite an important part in the apparent effect of temperature on the human sensibili- ties. When the air is very dry. it has great evaporating power. As evapora- tion produces cold on the surface from which the moisture is evaporated, it will be readily understood that moist air, that is air almost charged with moisture, is not nearly so cooling to the moist skin as is dry air, as moist air, just like sponge which is nearly sat urated with water, has very little ab- sorbing or evaporating power. Of course. this difference in the effect of dry and moist air is only appreciable on surfaces from which moisture is be- inS evaporated.
 The following are the official tempe rature readings here yesterday by hours.

to 1SSi. however. caught the idea of ex- tending their employment beyond tele. graph work. The main consideration In his mind seemed to have been econ omy. He also saw a means of findini' light and relatively remunerative wor for the female relations of postal offi cials. This consideration undoubtedi; secured for his scheme considerable support among his colleagues. who tnus saw an opening for the.r daughters. II 1871 the clearing house branch of tip Receiver and Accountant Gsi,eraf off1ce was established and staffed witf women. In 1875 trial was m.,de witt women clerks in the Savings Bank De partment, which now employs abou 1.500. This was followed in 1881 by the establishment of the postal order branch. which now employs about 7sO girls. In 1881, with the advent of Mir. Fawcett as Postmaster General. rapid recruitment of girls took plaee. The money order branch opened a hs.w sphere. and now the telephone business promises to bring In further number. So from the small beginning in 1870 we have arrived at the total of nearly 2f;- 900 today.
 The postoffice is very reticsnt tpon the question of relative efficiency of male and female labor but from Ecn- onicial sources 1t is to be gathered that they possess certain advantages which recommend them to administrative of- fices. These attractions are not con- fined to England. Thirty-five of the administrations of the Postal Union employ women. Belgium has confessed the experiment a failure. but all the remainder speak in ravor. Mir. Have lock Ellis says that in English post offices women are generally found to be more docile and amenable to disciplini and that they perform light work low pressure equally as well as tn men: but that they suffer more fror illnesses of short duration and exhiDl less intelligence outside the ordinar. routine. not showing the same abiliti or willingness to acquire technics knowledge. When women are substi tuted for men 1t is also found that-i requires four or five women to repIac three or four men. All the administra tions employing them urge that the, are cheaper and more docile. They ap. pear to be used largely in order to frus trate movements for reform among ths men. ana have a notable effect in keep ing down the wages of their male col leagues. In France this influence is OK tremely marked, and in England 1t | becoming more and more obvious. Tn England. too. the advent of women, who are favored in the matter of hours throws an increasing amount of night and Sunday work and overtime duty 0f the men,

PASTOR SHEDS HIS COAT

St. Louis Special.

St. Louis Special.
 James N. Crutcher. pastor of the Compton Heights Chiist an Church, ap- peared in his pulpit in cool white shirt waist and delivered a sermon on Pads in Religion" to congregation composed largely of coatless men and hatless women. This departure from the old form of starched shirts and coats and heavy hats was for the sake of comfort and to keep up the attend ance of the congregation during the hot weather.
 The church, which is located on the southwest corner of St. Vincent and California Avenues. has a large, cool auditorium. with great windows on every side. Ordinarily 1t is a cool place, and has always proved inviting to large congregations In warm wealth CT. But the swekering heat of the last few weeks has been discouraging.
 Pastor is a Practical Man.
 The pastor, who is only 26 years old, is a practical man. Perceiving that the only way to hold his congregation through the extremely hot weather was to make the people comfortable, he an nounced that tonight he would appear .n a shirt waist and invited men to
 
 men to come without their hats.
 Sunday morning number of young men were in the congregation in their shirt waists. They appeared so cool and comfortable that in the evening the majority of the nen in the con gregation followed the example. A number of women with their hair dressed in attractive modes removed their hats. and several came barehead- ed.
 Before the pastor appeared in the pulpit there was an increasing hum of discussion. Everybody watched the entrance to see who would be the next to take advantage of the invitation.
 Old Men Remove Their Coats.
 At first a number of the old mer came with their coats on. But one oi them, failing to find comfort in the afternoon, removed his coat. He was followed by the others.
 Then the young men came. nor, than had attended the evening service! for seevraI weeks, in pretty shir waists. In fact, as the congregation grew it became evident that every, body had yielded to the heat. In the morning congregation sevsra of the older male members said they disapproved of the idea, but when they say the increased attendance in the evening they were satisfied that it waS good one.

The golf sticks used by the King he was then a student at Edinourgh are at present on view in the Glas- gow Exhibition in section of that great show from which some devoteeg of the popular pastlme are never ab- sent.

TO KEEP OUT OF NERVOUS PROS. TRATl0N BY PROPER USE
 OF FOOD.

It is a lamentable fact that American brain workers do not, as a rule, know how to feed themselves to rebuild the daily loss occasioned by active mental ef- fort This fact, coupled with the disas- trous effects of the alkaloids contained in tobacco. coffee and whiskey. makes a sure pathway towards nervous prostra- ton.
 The remedy is simple enough. Employ the services Of food expert, who knows the kind of food required to rebuild the daily losses in the human body. This can be done by making free use of Grape. Nuts. the famous breakfast food. which contains exactly the elemental principles which have an affinity for albumen and go directly to rebuild the gray matter in the brain. solar plexus and nerve centers throughout the body. Follow your selec- ton of food up with dismissal of coffee tobacco and whiskey for fifteen days and mark the difference in your mental abil- ity, which means everything to the aver age hustling American, who must have physical and mental strength or he falls out in the race for dollars.
