A GOOD TELEPHONE GIRL.
One who Il Possessed ofAcute An-
ditoFy Nerves and Correct
Articulation.

Every girl cannot be a telephone
girl, as many applicants learn, to
their disappointment. Girls who can
hear and girls able to maintain the
reputation of the sex for talking
often fail in what is required by the
telephone companies. The trouble
is not in the educational, but In the
physical tests, says the New York
Herald.
Some education is required, as
matter of course, but the greater at
tention is paid to hearing and speak
ing. The applicant must possess au-
ditory nerves able clearly to distin-
guish words in all sorts of converse
ton, regardless of surrounding
noises and the frequent interfering
sounds on the telephone line.
Then, above all, she must not only
be able to talk, but know how to
talk. Defect of speech is fatal. Ar
ticulation, pitch of voice and general
self-possession are most carefully
considered, and examination in these
requisites is of necessity conducted
viva voce.
There is test in the very manner
in which the applicant goes through
the examination. Any indication OF
nervousness, hysteris or want OF self
possession will cause rejection OF the
candidate.
The greatest stumbling block is
the voice, for the majority of girls
are not clear in their enunciatlon,
and very many have a strongly
marked twang that is certain to
cause their rejection.

TO INCREASE THE ARMY.
a Plan for Utilizing the
National Guard.

Thinking men realize that the
United States must have a decent
sized army" said a retired officer, ac-
cording to the New York Sun, "but
many people are opposed to its mate
rial increase, even though our pos
sessions are growing very fast, and
the needs for large military force
seem imperative. have what I think
is a plain that will solve the problem
to the satisfaction of everybody.
While our people as a whole may be
opposed to a large military estab-
lishment in time of peace, yet it is
plain that our militia as now organ
lied is hardly sufficient to meet the
needs of the country in an emergency
like that which confronted us when
we declared war against Spain. Had
Spain been a frst-class power we
would have felt our need very sorely
at that time.
"What I would advise" he contin-
ued, sis the appropriation by the ma
tional government of a sum each
year sufficient to make the militia
strong in number and efficient in
drill and discipline. This could best
be done by providing for 30 or even
a so days encampment for the militia
in each state each year, the national
government paying the officers and
men taking part salaries equal to
those paid in the regular army for
the same period, each encampment to
be under the command of some COM
petent officer of the regular army.
SIN 30 days a man can learn some
thing about soldering, especially as
to how to take care of himself in
camp and on the march. We would
thus in few years have great
army of, say, 100000 men, ready to
mobilize on few days notice, and
almost as effective as regulars.
"The encampments should be held
during the school holidays, and this
would attract to the militia the stu
dents from the high schools, acad-
emies, colleges and universities, al
ways desirable for soldiers. By adopt
ng this plan the standing army could
be kept at a minimum and the gov
eminent would still have at its call
arge and well-disciplined force OF
sitizen soldiers." ..s,Ssvj |

MAIL IN A WHEELBARROw.
Queer Conveyance That Is Used by
an Old Woman Carrier
in Iowa.

Four times daily for 81 years, sum-
mer and winter, in fair weather and
foul, Lucinda Annie Robertson has
trundled a wheelbarrow bearing the
United States mail form the post Of
fee at Pleasantville, Ia, to the rail-
road, mile away. She took the job
when her husband, who had the con-
tract to carry the mail, fell i'll and
because she couldn't carry the load
she introduced the wheelbarrow, says
the New York Sun.
When her husband became a con-
frmed invalid she kept the contract
for him and nursed him, too, and at
his death the government wouldn't
take the job away from her. 1t is
worth just 500 a year and it is al
most all her living.
She is now II, but she vows she'll
carry the mail till she dies.
"But some days." she says, sit
seems as though 1 could never drag
myself and that old barrow another

CABLE ROAD UP VESUVIUS.
An Electric Passenger Line Is Being
Put Through the Ancient
Catacombs.

A trolley road is now being built
up the slope of the volcano of Vesuvius
for the accommodation of travellers
who find mountain climbing too ardu-
Gus. The trolley line starts at the
foot of the mountain and connects
with a cable road, which carries the
passengers to the edge Of the crater,
beginning at an elevation of 1920 feet.
Already there is trolley line from
Gizeh to Sphinx, one for part of the
way up Mont Blanc, and number of
them, with transfers and all the mod
ern accessories, through the streets of
Rome, says a London exchange.
The most incongruous combination
of ancient and modern will be found
in the electric passenger railroad to
be built through the Catacombs. The
modern tourist appreciates such con-
veniences very much, and finds them
substantial economy over the ira
ditional donkey, and his picturesquely
blasphemous driver. No one who has
assembled our own Mount Washington
in recent years has had cause to re-
greet that his or her bones do not re-
pose somewhere among the powders,
marked by a cavein, like those of the
unfortunate young woman who was
among the last to attempt the almost
impossible ascent on foot.

The CANAL QUESTION.
Congress Advised to Pass a General Bill
and Leave the Route to the
President.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Four years ago Congress unanimously
voted $50. 900, 900 into the hands Of Presi-
dent Mckinley with which to inaugurate
war whose consequences no man dared
to forecast, and whose ultimate effects the
nation will feel as long as it survives. That
signal act of confidence was not abused.
And we do not believe like confidence
in the matter of the interoceanic canal
would be abused by President Roosevelt.
The people of the United States are de.
termined to have the canal built by the
Government and maintained under indie
feasible American control. The men in
Congress, or out of it, who can be identi-
fed as conspirators to delay or defeat the
great work will feel the popular wrath in
no uncertain or insignificant fashion. TIE
only question that is before the Congress
is that of making provision for the loca-
ton and construction of the canal.
The question is easily divisible. Con-
gress should vote the necessary money to
enable the national authorities to begin the
work, either through the agency of one of
the established governmental departments
or an expert special commission. The
route question might readily be left to the
decision of such tribunal or to the Presi.
dent, upon all the facts relating to it as
shall be arcertained, weighed and APP
praised. This will relieve Congress of
long and confusing debate, disperse the
several lobbies of the Nicaragua, Panama,
and Darien concesslonaries and compa-
MES, and give assurance to the country
that the President, or the board or author.

Ior which the canal is desired.
ANY endeavor to postpone that simple
treatment of the case will be denounced

cute question. order the canal built, set

resident to go ahead and accomplish the

The Philippines.

Philadelphia Press.
Judge Taft's view of the Philippine sit
uation is more trustworthy than that OF
the military officers. Where they diverge
it is safer to follow him.
The military commanders naturally
magnify the military side. They are quick
to see whatever calls for the exercise OF
their arm of the service. With the best
disposition i'll the world, it is to be ex-
pected that they will look at things from
the soldiers standpoint. II they have
been somewhat jealous of the advance OF
the civil authorities it is not at all strange.
There has been no serious friction, but
the greater the civil authority the less the
military power, and this truth has not
been without its effect
But Judge Taft, Civil Governor and
head of the Philippine Commission, has a
broader and more comprehensive survey.
He is cool, dispassionate and Judicial, ac-
customed to weigh evidence, search the
truth and determine the balance. He has
come in contact with all classes of the
Philippine people. He has touched all
sides of their sentiment and interest. lie
has learned what they want and how they
expect to get it, And when he says, as
he does say, that great progress has beeu
made in pacifcation, and that there is
general acceptance of the new order OF
things and of what is expected to follow
it, his conclusion may be trusted.
There is disorder in some localities.
There are insurgents and bfigands. But
this opposition is more sporadic and frag-
mentary than organized and general. 1t
is like the outbreaks which used to come
from the Indians on the plains. 1t makes
desultory and disagreeable warfare, but
il does not involve widespread nor threat
ening conflict. The acceptance of Ameri-
can control and government grows steadily
in the face of many embarrassments, and
no nation has ever extended its sway over
an alien and wholly dissimilar people with
so little difficulty and so little resistance.
We have not had much'to give the Phil
ippine people yet but friendly spirit and
the best assurances. We have started
schools and helped trade and encouraged
local government. But for the most part
they have had to take promises. Our
hands have been tied. Congress had not
prepared the way for the franchises nee
essary for the material improvements of
the islands, and the executive rightly
would not take it. When lands shall be
opened and timber made accessible and
mines reached and railroads built and the
thousand varied fields Of industry turned
to account the Philippines will enter upon
new career.

WITHOUT A POLICY.

We notice frequent suggestions in the
Democratic newspapers that there IS
threatened disharmony among the RepuO'
lcan members Of Congress OH various Inn
portant questions that are likely to be-
come prominent in future campaigns. We
have heard of these things before, but
have always found that thew were crea-
lions of the Democratic imagnation-the
wish being father to the thought. 1t Is
true that Mr.. Babcock, in the House OF
Representatives, is little unorthodox on
the tariff question, and that Mr. Hoar, in
the Senate, is pursuing an erratic course
on the Philippine question; but they lave
no following among Republicans In sup
port Of their views. If ever the Republi-
cans In Congress were found standing
squarely on the national platform of their
party, they are so now. They will con-
tinue to hold solidly together on all the
great questions advocated in the Republi-
can platform of 1900.
How about the Democrats in Congress?
If reports be true, they are without a def
mite policy, and appear to be unable to
agree upon one. The Chicago platform,
rs.enacted at Kansas City, was supposed
to be the declai alton of Democratic pin
ciples, and il was thought would control
the action of the Democratic members of
Congress at the present 1t seems, how,
ever, that number of young Democratic
members, most of them from Eastern
States, want to repudiate the Chicago
platform. They have tired to accomplish
this by having the Democratic caucus
make new platform for the party. The
members who are pursuing such course
have announced that they will no longer
stand 10y the doctrines of Bryanlsm as
enunciated in tie Chicago platform, hold
ing that a further or continued adherence
to Organism can on y bring further dlsas-
ter to the party. In this action they are
antagonized by the Democratic members
from the South and West who are unwil-
ling to repudiate the last national platform
of their party, and who have not lost faith
in the leadership of Bryan. There is also
another class of Democratic Congressman
who advocate no action by caucus in the
way of outlining policy for the party,
but advise a drifting policy. This class is
headed by Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee,
who is the Democratic leader in the House
of Representatives. 1t looks like there
will be no action taken by the Democratic
caucus, either in declaring its adhesion to
the Chicago platform, or repudiatlng it.
In that event the Democratic members
will be practically disunited so far as
policy is concerned; and the longer that
condition continues, the more widely they
will become separated on economic and
other questions.
1t strikes us that the Democrats had
better he trying to rectify this very inhar-
monious condition existing in their own
ranks, and settle upon some well defined
policy, before they dilate upon the small
dissension that may be found IN the ranks
of the Republicans.
