Opinions vary but certain 1t is that in spite of hard, often very wearisome, work large department stores and business of- fees are overcrowded with feminine ap- plicants, while positions that frequently offer the best of homes coupled with any branch of domestic service go begging.
 What One Employer Says.
 The head of one of the most representa- tive department firms of the city said hu- morously in speaking of the matter:
 'I had never regarded business in the light of offering any special matrimonial Inducements, yet nevertheless 1t may pos sess such advantages. Liberty of time and action outside of business hours Is one great inducement. and l believe the chief reason young women become sales women is because there are few openings as congenial to them. With a firm that opens winter and summer at S:30 a. m. closes during the winter months invarla- bly, at 6 D. m. and in the summer at 5:3O and o'clock with also a midday hour for luncheon, a girl has good deal of time to call her own-absolutely her own and she does meet through her business life many men and women who may be- come useful and pleasant friends.
 An enterprising girl, whose business opinion Is of value, is frequently htro- duced to travelling salesmen. Such chance frequently ripens into a friendship. and often see the salesladies of our own firm at the theatre with the travelling salesmen with whom they have been associated in business. Not ipfre- quently the salesmen in their own firms

like that of a furnace. Every bit of coal Is saved, and a great part of that now used is in the shape of brisquettes or bricks made of coal dust. so tightly press ed that they are as hard as the coal it. self and at the same time perfectly clean. This is a great business in Germany.
 Cheap House Servants.
 The Germans have a better system of domestic service than We have. In Leip- sig and other German cities the people live in flats so that the most of the work is confined to one floor Every room Is valuable and the servant usually has lit- tie more than a closet to sleep in. The mistress of the house knows all about housekeeping, that being a part of every German girls educa ton, and she watches to see that no food is wasted. The ser wants are seldom given the same food tomary to give the hired girl an allow ance of two or three cents for her supper and let her buy 1t outside. If there is fruit on the table 1t seldom goes out to the kitchen.
 I am much interested in the employ ment agencies here. Each town has one or more such institutions supported by low charges upon employers and em- ployes. The charge is about 12 cents for getting a servant and half that amount to the servant who wants a place. The laws provide that every servant shall have a record or pass book telling where she was born, her age and previous serv- itude. It must have the records of the places she has worked and the signatures

 LEIPSIG.
 l spent this morning in pawnbroker's s shop. It belongs to the city of Lefpsig and 1t loans out hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. It has a capital of less than hundred thousand dollars but it borrows more from the City Savings Bank at S1z per cent interest and charges about per cent to it's customers who bring as security watches, clocks, furni- ture, old clothes and everything under the sun. Last year 1t made about two hundred thousand loans. which on the average would be more than one for ev- cry family in Leipsig.

 As the articles were placed on the counter, their value was estimated by an appraiser who gave the owner check for the amount to be loaned.

GREAT WEALTH IN GOLD.
TREASURE CHAMBER OF THE
 WORLD IN OLD EGYPT.
Yield in Time of Pharaohs-Aban- doned Mines of Nile Country to Be Reopened-valuable Con- sessions Granted to
 Englishmen.

"The California of the old civilizati ton of the East" is the happy phrase em- ployed by an eminent Psychologist in de- scribing the land of the Nile in the proud days of the nineteenth and twentieth dy- nasties, says The Chicago Chronicle The history of its gold mining industry is lost in antiquity, but evidence is oveFwhelm- ing that it fiourished in very early days and on a most extensive scale.
 The letters discovered a few years ago at Tel-el-Amama give some idea of what the output of gold from Egypt must have been at the time of the Israelitish captiv- ity The King of Babylopia wanted gold for a new temple, and 1t was to Pharaoh that he wrote to ask for 1t. The King of Assyria indited letters to the Egyptian court, pointing out that not only his fa- ther. but even the King of Cappadocia. had received 20 talents of gold. and asked that at least as much should be sent to himself. Two centuries later. when Egypt had lost her empire and been devastated by barbarians from the north, the amount of gold yielded by the desert mines was still enormous.
 At a still later date. the records tell us, the second Ptolemy had an annual revenue amounting to l4,e00 talents or more than 4,00o.0o0 pounds. a large part of which was derived from the gold mines. Not only are precise records of the man ner of mining preserved in the papyri and fin the writings of Greek historians, but amid the ruins of Beni- Hassan and Thebes sculptures have been found repre- senting the art of the goldsmiths and H. frustrating the processes of reducing and working the gold. The historian Diodo- rus, who spent many years in Egypt com piling a laborious record of its people and their industries. gees into considerable detail with regard to the workers at the mines of Akita, located in the old river course known as the Wady Allalxi. The same mines are mentioned by Agathar- chides. who wrote some 15O years before Christ.
 Find e Map 5000 Years Old.
 But even more precise testimony is forthcoming from a papyrus preserved at Turin which was discovered in the ruins of Thebes. This unique document, sup posed to have been written Tn the thir- teeth century before Christ, contains a map of the mines of Akita and marks the position not only of the mines themselves. but also of the miners houses. the wells from which they drew their water and the roads leading to the shafts. The papyrus states that the mines of Afita were first exploited by the Pharaoh seth

of Bavaria and Wurtemberg are in the imperial postal service. which is one of the largest in Europe. It has 200 900 en- ployes and about 37,OO0 officers. It han dles billion copies of printed matter, a billion postal cards and about two b!l- lion letters every year, and it does it at profit. Our Postoffice Department an- nually runs behind That of Germany runs ahead. She gives better service than we do at a lower rate, and at the same time makes a profit of $4, 4,0o0. 900 out of it.
 Pneumatic Tubes as Letter Carrirs.
 Berlin, for instance. has a pneumatic tube system superior to any quick deiv- cry system of New York By 1t tele- grams, letters and postal cards can be sent from one part of the city to another more quickly than by telegraph, at cost of cents card or 1-2 cents per letter. If you pay R cents you can have a pre- paid answer. This post is called the rohr, or tube, post. Its offices are distin- guished by a red lamp, and are to be found in all parts of Berlin.
 The telegraph and telephones of Ger many beiong to the Government, and, consequently, their charges are lower than ours. The rate for all Germany and Austria Hungary. Is 1 IA cents a word, while that to Belgium, Denmark, Hol- land and Switzerland Is only 2 12 cents. You can send a dispatch to England, Norway or Italy for less than cents per word and to almost any place in Eu- rope for less than cents.

empire and the book stores of Austria and German Switzerland are fed from here. All publishers have their agents at Leipsig and many keep full stocks of books on hand that they can supply orders at an hours notice. There is regular system of sending out books by cheap freight and express and the agents arrange for quick delivery and make all collections. They represent the book stores. well as the publishers and the resented come into direct contact with Leipsig agency throw their books into something like 10000 stores. About the only provision is that all books must be delivered in Leipsig free of freight charges, the book dealers expecting to pay the charge from Leipsg to their re- spectiVe stores.
 Some of the American firms have such agencies, and 1t would pay all of our publishers to appoint such representa- tives. I have gone through the book clearing house. It is q beautiful building thoroughly equipped for the purpose. have also visited some of the chief pub fishing establishments. including the fla nous one of Breitkopf and Haertel. They all good work. but in modern conve- niences are far behind similar establish ments in the United States.

deal, but they know just where the mon- ey goes and try to get the worth of it. The poor get more for their money per haps than any other poor in Europe out side the French. They know how to pre- vent waste. In cooking nothing is lost. The crusts of bread and stale pieces of the loaf are kept to thicken the next days soup and the waste paper of the poor man is kept for fuel
 German stoves are economical. They are made of porcelain and are often a yard square a--l from six to e.ght feet tall. Each stove has a series of fiues, and very little fuel sufflces to warm 1t.

 Leipsig does more book handling than any other city in the world in proportion to it's size. It has 800 book stores and publishing establishments. It has almost 200 different printing houses and about 5000 publishing firms represented by agents. It has book publishers ex- change and clearing house, and it's ar are such that books are sent out daily by the thousands from here to all parts of Germany.

city or Leipsig is planning railroad sta tion which will cost twenty million dol- lars, or nye times as much as the new union station at Washington. There are at present about half dozen depots. These will be done away with nd this structure will be built in their place.
 Dresden recently put up railroad de- pot costing millions. 1 have already de- scribed the station at Frankfort, which cost eight and one-half millions. Berlin has number of fine depots. Cologne has good railroad buildings, and so have al- most all the cities of Germany
 The railroads here belong to the gov ernment, and they are very well managed, though not as luxurious in their appoint ments as ours. The cars are after the Flu ropean fashion-first, second and third class. They are divided into compart- ments. On the better trains there are lavatories. but an extra charge is made for the use of towel and soap. This Is fur nished by a penny-in-the- box. You put in 10 pfennig piece and pull out a lit- tie rag and a piece of soap. The rag is too small to dry. you well. and the soap is just enough for one washing. x,
 The third-class. oars have no such ac- commodations. Many of them are without cushioned seats. There is also fourth class, where most of the passengers stand up. The rates of the first class are about the same as ours, second class a little cheaper and third and fourth classes very low. ..
 The Ubiquitous Slot Box.
 Speaking of slot boxes, they are to be found everywhere here and of every kind In some of the cities you can buy tickets on the elevated railroads by dropping a German nickel, which means two and one- half ceits, in the slot. There are slot boxes which sell postal cards and slot restaurants where you can get anything from a thimbleful of chartreuse to a glass of champagne or a schooner of beer. and from a chocolate cream to slice of roast beef. The advantage of the slot machine is that it dispenses with fleeing. There are no walters and hence no fees. and this where one has to pay from cents to dime for every service, amounts to much.
 German Economy.

 ed are very happy and representative ones.
 Another inducement is that hard as a | saleswoman's position may appear 1t is
 not really so great physical strain as do-
 nestle work. A girl just out of the school | room is not fit for the continued standing
 required in a saleswoman-her muscles are | too soft-but full-grown young woman
 is fully equal to it and generally continues
 fin good physical trim throughout her bus mess life"
 Another Employers View. Another head of a large department
 store said he thought much of the popu- larity of large store was due to the op- portunity 1t gave a girl to lift herself up by her own efforts and also to meet a bet ter class of men than she would probably
 meet in home surroundings. "A home" he said. where it is .neces- sary for the daughters to earn a livelihood seldom is able to offer much diversion or amusement for her, while in a business she herself can make an effort toward self-advancement which under lmpover- ished home conditions. no one can make for her. If she has capability and indus try she can command a salary equal to a man doing the same work.
 The debutante in fashionable circles Is skilfully foated toward matrimony and social triumph by adoring parents. sisters. cousins and aunts. The less fortunate girl seeks to make herself as attractive as possible by attractive environment, and the department store, with it's pictur- esque surroundings and costume regula- tions requiring a neat and pretty garb of uniform color and style. enhances the ef- feet of a girls prettiness. or at least of her youth, which is every girls birth right"
 Still Another Expert Talks.
 A conservative manager said that whether girls found increased. facilities for marrying in business life depended largely upon the girls or the requirements of the business. Some firms he had known had made a special point of employing only really beautiful saleswomen-they might be efficient, but they must be pret- ty. Naturally they married rapidly, but their lights he thought 1t would have been difficult to hide under any bushel. domes- tic or otherwise.
 Then there was another class of sales women-young girls-who naturally mar ried because they were young or because their employment was of a more or less temporary character dependent upon rush seasons, such as the Christmas holidays, and marrying was a remedy for uncer- tainty; but the more experienced sales women, he believed. were in business be- cause the duties were consistent with the standing of a lady. The responsibilities as- stunned betokened intelligence and charac- ter, and the salaries paid enabled the to dress as befitted a woman of refinement and to surround herself and perhaps those dear to her with the comforts perhaps even the luxuries, of life.
 The husband might be an after-result. but he was certainly an after-thought with such business women.
