BRAVERY OF FRENCH WOMEN.
How it Has Been Rewarded by Medals
of Honor.

1t is just fifty years since France be-
gan to award medals of honor to
women, as well as to men, who per-
formed acts of bravery in war time
and on the field of battle. and in that
time thirty-three decorations have
been bestowed. Nearly all of the
women who have been so honored were
''cantinieres' of various regiments, a
picturesque feature of the French
army which still endnres. The first
woman to be so decorated was one
Jeanne Marie Rossini. cantiniere of the
zouaves of the imperial guard, who
received the medal on June z. 1859, for
gallantry at Palestro. Solferino gave
medal to another cantiniere. and two
more women won the decoration on
the field of Magenta. One of the most
famous of these honored women was
Nine. Vialar, ia premiere cantiniere

through that terrible campaign, work

trenches of Sebastopol In 1870 she
went to the front again and received
mention for bravery at Villejuii, La
Hay and Hautes- Bruyeres. Then there
was Sister Gregoire. who went through
the Italian campaigns, lost an arm in
the Crimca and accompanied the ex-
petition which was sent to China in
1874, where she died at her post in the
hospital. Perhaps the best known of
all these women was Mile. Dodu. the

MAKING NEW ORLEANS CLEAN.
Twelve Millions Being Spent on a
Wonderful System of Drainage.


In spite of remarkable engineering
difficulties plan has at last been de-
vised for draining New Orleans, now
dependent on series of cutters and
old-fashioned paddlewheel pumps,
which every rain storm leave the city
a foot or two under water. No such
elaborate system of sewers will exist
anywhere in the United States when
the plan is carried into effect. 1t in

which is eighteen feet below the level

The amount of drainage is greater

with it lateral canals parallel with the
Mississippi will have to be ding in the
lowest part of the city These canals
and the main canal will be in reality

streets will be supported on steel arch
es and brick and steel concrete walls.
A central power house with the enor-
nous capacity of 10000 horse power
will operate the system, pumping the
drainage into the Bayou Brenvenue, an
arm of the gulf below the city. Besides
this central power house there viii be
three subsidiary stations, which will
lift the water from one to another
canal, and so on to the end. When the
operation is completed as it is expec-
ted to be in three years time, one of

From glorious foughten fields;
