SMALL PAY FOR HARD WORK.
Women in the Government Treasury
Department Who Are Poorly
RecOmpensed.

In the great printing Office at
Washington where the government
paper currency is prepared for cir
culation there are some very skillful
women who receive only small pay.
This is notably true of those who
inspect and count the sheets of bills
as they come from the presses, says
the Chicago Chronicle. Every sheet
contains four bills, each of which
must be perfect. If there is ever so
small a spot or flaw in the printing
the bill is rejected. These women
have to be experts who have served
in all the capacities from printers
assistant up, until they can detect in
an instant a flaw which would not
be seen by the unframed eye. They
inspect and count 10000 sheets of
bills day, and their compensation
is $500 a year; they have to pass
rigid examinations before they can
get into the service at all.
Persons who suffer from the heat
in summer should be comforted
whenever they lick a postage stamp,
for the girls who put the sticking
material upon that stamp are in
much warmer place. During the av-
erage warm day in Washington the
thermometer stands at 10 degrees in
the big room where the govern
ments stamps are coated with glue.

paniesl, 10 battalions of train of 2
companies each and the railway and
telegraph battalion, each of 3 COM
panies. In addition to the 10 divisions
there are 3 regiments of coast and 2
battalions of foot artillery. as well as
the Yesso brigade, comprising 4 bat
talions of infantry, besides cavalry ar
tillery and pioneers. The army of the
second line (garrisons and reserve),
consists of SO battalions of infantry,
besides cavalry, pioneers and depot
troops. The peace strength in 1901-2

Japan A STRONG NATION.
The FIoVvery Kingdom Is Fast Be-
coming an Important Factor in
the Affairs of the World.

In view of the agreement entered
into between Great Britain and
Japan, the fighting strength of our
oriental ally becomes a factor of con-
siderable Importance, says the Lon
don Chronicle. a new naval pro-
gramme will probably be announced
some time this year, but at present the
Japanese navy consists of battle
ships, armored cruisers, second
class cruisers, third-class cruisers,
3 torpedo gunboats, about 100 tor
pedO craft, and 1 torpedo depot
ship. This list, according to the
latest returns, does not include some
small cruisers that are being built in
Japan. The japanese navy was or
gained entirely on the lines of the
British navy. The following are the
chief characteristics of the larger
class of vessels: Length. 400 feet,
with a breadth of Is feet inches, and
main draught of Is feet inches; nor
NAL displacement, 1920 tons; arma-
ment, four 12-inch Acton guns placed
in pairs on two barbettes situated for
w a. u anu al II All llS p-liNlt
guns carried on the broadside, and 20
12-pounder quick-firing guns. There
are in these vessels four submerged
torpedo discharges. The Harveyized
armor-belt 226 feet long by S feet 6
inches deep. the thickness of armor
being Q inches. On the barbettes the
arrnor is IA inches thick above the
main dSck, and 9 inches below in front.
The ships are propelled by twin
screws. the engines being of $4,000 in
dicated horsepower, supplied by
Bellevue boilers. the contract speed
is 1875 knots. The coal capacity at
normal draught is 700 tons, but the
bunkers are capable of holding 1.400
tons. The complement is 741 officers
and men. Among the battleships is
the Chen-Yuen. captured from China,
which has a displacement of 400
tons, indicated horsepower 6.200; ar
mament. four 12-inch (Krupp), four
6-inch quick-fring and eight light
guns. as well as eight other guns and
three torpedo tubes. Her speed is IA
knots.
Of the armored cruisers the largest
is the Asama. with a displacement of
$3.50 tons. an indicated horse power
of 10000: armament. S-inch quick
fling, IA 6-inch (Amstrong), ) torpedo
tubes -four submerged), and speed
Cpl knots. Some of the cruisers.
have a greater speed like the Tokiwa,
with % knots, others less. like the
Yakumo, with 20 knots Other cruis-
ers and destroyers vary in displace-
ment between 1850 and SAG tons.
They all carry quick-fring guns and
the destroyers are said to have a
maximum trial speed of so knots or
more. Some were built on the Thames,
others on the Clyde and some at Bar
row and Elswick.
Although Japan took England for a
model in the building and manning of
her navy. she went to Germany for the
organizati of her army. The mill
tary budget of 1902 provides for 10
divisions of the army, including the d.
vision of the guard, 90 infantry bril-
gades, each of . 3-battalion regiments,
II regiments of cavalry (51 squad
rons), 10 regiments of artillery GA

mirrors-a decided advantage when
one hasn't maid to rely upon.
When treating the face the mirror
is also an excellent accessory. By at
taching it to the window sill or casing,
the best possible light is thrown on
the skin, so that blemishes and disfig-
uring marks are clearly shown up.
Altogether, this adjustable mirror
will be found decidedly useful among
my lady's up-to-date toilet articles.
Since curling irons were declared
harmful to the hair land nobody but
inexperienced couture dares to manip-
ulate them, all manner of devices have
been invented for the purpose of i'm
parting a natural looking as well as
a lasting undulation to ones locks.
While some of these arrangements
are really good, others are absolutely
worthless, and in the end do more
harm than singing irons.
A new shell hairpin which seems to
supply the much desired wave is rec
commended as being perfectly safe and
simple to manage.
Tortoise shell, of course. is far bet
ter than wires or irons, is it does not
break the hair. and this little affair is
made to hold the hair, which is loosely
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-08-14

woven around the shank, while a
small clasp holds it in place at the
top
Another equally simple contrivanee
for producing soft waves in the hair
without heat or injury is made of
rubber, in colOrs TO match the shade
of the hair. This resembles a bodkin
more than anything else, for it is fiat,
about a quarter of an inch at the
broadest part, and has a small ring at
one end, while tiny knob finishes the
other and through the center runs a
narrow slit.
The strand of hair is first drawn9
through this opening. and with the un-
even ends firmly held in place the hair
is loosely wound around the curler.
while a rubber cord loops into the
ring and is pulled out and caught on
the opposite knob.
The soft rubber does not break the
hair, and it will be found that undula-
lions are secured in a much shorter
time with this curler than by means of
ordinary methods.-Kansas City Star.
