GIRLS WHO ANSWER 'PHONE CALLS IN THE LONELY HOURS.

The Brooklyn Exchange Operating Depau-t-*••••••meat Entirely In the Hands of Women. They Didn't Like the Idea at First, bat «4 Now the Xiglit Situa( ns Are Preferred. 1^

,-::A

In a pretentious but decayed brownstone building on Smith street, a little off from the roar of Fulton street and quite safe from the clatter of the politicians who haunt the vicinity of the city hall, may bo found the only placc in Brooklyn, or perhaps in the world, for that matter, where, in truth, woman's work is never done. Strangely enough, and paradoxical as it may seem, the place is within easy speaking distance of cultured Boston, the principal cities on the rock bound coast of Maine, the wind swept prairies of Illinois and the balls of heated debate in the national capital.

To dispel any illusion you may have. formed as to the identity of the place and to set you right if you have gone wrong, for Smith street is in some portions a residential avenue, and every good wife would take this as a compliment to herself, it may bo said at once that the place referred to is devoted to the uses of the Brooklyn and New Jersey Telephone company. Why Brooklyn and why New Jersey it would be hard to say, but it doesn't matter much anyway. There nimble lingered girls sit at their desks, or cases rather, all through tho 24 hours of the day and in their sweet crescendo voices tell you that41they don't answeT," "busy*now" or "temporarily disconnected," when you ring for a subscriber. This''temporarily disconnected" is a telephone phrase very often used during hard times, and its exact meaning is not very generally known. When your call Is answered in this way, however, tho subscriber so designated is not a safe party for a loan. In other words, ho is temporarily financially embarrassed. 1 But that is another story.

The old building was no doubt once tho abode of wealth and fashion, but this was a long timo ago. Now some 100 bright young gills ut least use one of tho floors in their capacities as telephone operators. This is tho place where woman's work is cover done. A largo majority of tho girls work from 7 or 8 o'clock in tho morning qntil 5 or 6 o'clock in tho evening, but with theso wo have nothing to do. A few of tho girls work as late as 10 o'clock In tho evening, but this is only apart of thoir day's work, which is interrupted in tho afternoon. Ib is at 10 o'clock, when tho last of tho day operators leavo tho building, that Mies Nonnie O'Neill and her threo fair assistants begin their lonely watch through tho long hours of tho night until 7 o'clock tho next morning, when they aro relieved. Tho number of calls during the night is not large, most of them being for physicians, ambulances and the like, but thoy aro of tho most important kind nevertheless, and tho girls, or at least somo of them, must keep wldo awako to attend to thorn. At night tho operating room is a sort of Adamless Kden on a small scale, tho only man employed on t! promises, a watchman, being affected witli bashfulness and scarcely ever venturing into tho operating room proper

Of course tho girls liavo a chanco during tho early hours of tho morning to snatch a few hours' rest, and for this purposo thcro is a retiring room, whero tho day operators puss their leisure timo, fitted up with lounges and other conveniences for their comfort, for whatever may be tho attitude of tho company toward its subscribers it is not oltogothor heartless in its treatment of its employees, and more especially tho fenialo portion of them. A little pantry, supplied with neat and modern appliances for making tea and coHeo, is also a part of tho telephono establishment, and tho fragrant leaves of China and tho brown berry of Brazil, so grateful to tho femalo constitution, aro provided by tho company gratuitously.

Very enjoyable littlo nocturnal lunches aro eaten there, too, at an hour when most "Women ore reposing from tho labors of tho day, and they aro made all tho more pleasant and palutablo by tho strangeness of their surroundings and tho odduess of it all to tho femalo mind. Each of tho girls brings from homo a few choice delicacies, which aro generously shared with her companions, and something of a inoro substantial naturo is got up by one of tho young women who is skilled In tho manipulation of tho chafing dish.

Strangely enough, when tho company first proposed to tho girls that they should •work all night in place of tho men who were formerly employed for that part of tho work there was a tremendous opposition raised by tho young women to tho plan. Tho Idea of a young woman working nil night in an office was something that tho female mind could not appreciate nor understand. When the experiment was tried, however, it was so generally satisfactory, almost from the very beginning, that other exchanges throughout tho country are also adopting tho practice. Another odd thing about it is that when tho change from men was first propositi none of the girls was willing to take the all night hours, ovun at a higher salary than is paid to tho day operators. Now, however, this is so far from being tho case that thcro is some little harmless wire pulling on the part of tho young women to secure tho all night hours. It gives them almost tire entire day to themselves, or at least the best part of the afternoon, and penults of their attending someone of tho many institutions for the higher education of women or whero the well paying professions are taught, which many of them take advantage of.

It would take a good steed quarto volume to tell of tho incidents, humorous, pathetic and tragic, but more especially tho former, that come under the notice of an all night telephone girl of even limited axpcrionce, and then the half would no$ be told. Many little services of an odd and curious nature are rendered by the obliging operators to the subscribers which aro not at all mentioned in the contract with the company. Some of these an? in tho nature of legacies left by the men whom they succeeded, but for the most part they have cropped up naturally since tho girls have been placed in charge.— Brooklyn Kaglo.

OUR NATIONAL CEMETERIES.

Fame's Eternal Camping Ground*, Where Sleep Oar Soldier Dead. Eighty-three national cemeteries, wherein 880,700 soldiers are sleeping their last long sleep, have been established within the boundaries of the United States. The laying out of these great gardens of graves and maintaining them in such away as to deserve this latter appellation have cost the nation a

Sum

of money large enough to dis

prove, at least in a measure, the old time saying that "republics are ungrateful." But the money that has been expended to properly mark and adorn the resting places of the brave men who died that the nation might-live is not and has not been expended grudgingly. It has been paid out freely as the last and only possible tribute to the memory of men as brave as ever lived, and wlio fougi.t for home and liberty. In thus commemorating the deeds of her common soldiers the United States is quite unrivaled by auy other nation, ancient or modern.

This noble work could not have been accomplished but for wise and patriotic foresight exercised almost at the beginning of ..

ENTRANCE TO ARLINGTON HEIGHTS CEMETERY. the war. In September, 1881, the secretary of war issued an order to the effect that accurate and permanent records be kept as to all deceased Union soldiers, and this order was at once followed by the issuing of blank forms through the quartermaster's department to hospital surgeons and all others who could use them. On the battlefields when the Federal troops were victorious great care was taken to bury the dead in such a way that each grave could'be marked, and headboards provided by the general quartermaster were set up. Only on fields where the Confederates won were the dead buried without marking the graves. Soldiers who survived the .southern prisons in many instances marked the graves of their comrades who died, and records were kept everywhere it was possible to do so, so that the mortuary records of the great civil contest exceed anything else of the same nature in the world.

It was in the second year of the war that congress authorized the president to purchase grounds and have them prepared for soldiers' cemeteries. The next year such graveyards were dedicated at Chattanooga, Stone River and Gettysburg. It was at the dedication of the last named of these three that President Lincoln delivered that address which, spoken modestly as it was, did not then attract the attention of its hearers as anything greatly out of the ordinary, but which, when it was telegraphed over the land and read in the newspapers, speedily took high rank among notable spoken passages and has since been (raorded a place among classic orations. Th* national cemetery at Arlington was laid out in 1864, that at Antietam in 1865.

In pursuance of the general plan of 1865, 17 cemeteries were established in Virginia, 7 in Tennessee, 0 in Kentucky, 4 in North Carolina, 4 in Louisiana, 8 in Mississippi, S in Maryland, 2 in South Carolina, 2 in Georgia and 2 in the District of Columbia. In the north and west 4 were established in Illinois, 8 In Missouri, 2 in Indiana, 1 in Iowa. 3 iu Pennsylvania, 2 in New York and 3 in New Jersey. In many places besides these the government has purchased small plots of ground where a few soldiers lie, and several cemeteries contain govtrument plots wherein the bodies of Confederates who died iu Federal prisons are buried. Less than one-fifth of the entire number whose graves are now marked *and tenderly cared for lie where they were first interred.

Five of the national cemeteries contain the bodies of United States soldiers who fell in other wars than the struggle for the Union. One of the most notable is near the City of Mexico. Another is in Montana. In the latter lie the bodies of 918 regulars, including the 800 brave men who were massacred with Custer by the redskins.

It is a thing that every American may be proud of that all these cemeteries are kept in superb condition. The cemetery at Arlington heights, near Washington, is the most beautiful and contains the largest number of graves of identified dead. The total number of interments there is 16,535, of which but 4,349 are of unidentified soldiers. The first soldier buried there was a Confederate, on May 18,1864.

The grave of Sheridan is a striking feature of the Arlington cemetery, where have also been gathered the bodies of most of those who fell at Bull Run, Chantilly and other battlefields in the vicinity. A massi vi monument of sarcophagus form, marking the bodies of 2,111 unknown soldiers, attracts much attention, as does also the Tein-

TREATMENT OF THE HANDS.

A PRETTY KEY HOLDER.

The outside of the canoe is lintM with a water color wash in birch bark shade, with markings of brown sepia to imitate tho bark. The lining is of bright cardinal satin, gathered in a frill to fit the opening, covering the inside of the canoe and confined to it around the edge with the embroidery silk. Small satin bows of tlio same shade at either end, with a loop to hang it by, complete a very useful little ornament.

disappointment to the woman who is making a half hearted effort to securer pair of pretty handa sill

The very first move you make should be' in the direction of your soap dish. Buy old white castile soap of a trustworthy firm. If old and pure, it will be very dry and light in weight Avoid as much as possible keeping the hands in either very cold or very hot water. The very best plan is to give the hands a thorough cleansing in warm water pleasant to the touch, using almond meal or bran. Tie up either one of these in a little cheesecloth bag and see how nicely it will take the place of soap as an occasional substitute.

Before your hands are dry pour into the palms some softening lotion. Golden Days suggests the following: It is made of one-third glycerin, two-thirds rosewater and a sprinkle of powdered borax. This must be rubbed into the hands thoroughly, and when they have been dried on a soft towel and dusted with some delicate rice powder or the dry bran you should see that they do not get another scrub for many hours.

All rough work and work that exposes the hands to dust and grime must be done with the hands gloved. There are rubber gloves made for this purpose, and with these gloves a lady may become her own charwoman without hurt

ing her handa Never use anything but soft water. If water is hard, it must be softened by dropping in it a few grains of borax, a little ammonia or a small quantity of soda All these things are drying, and after using any one of them the hands should be anointed with an unguent of, some kind. Almond oil is good.

Excessive redness is sometimes caused by a squeezing process, resulting from tight articles of wearing appareL The snugly drawn corset or the glove that is a half size too small will cause a deal of mischief. Circulation should be free.

Receptacle For Keys.

A writer for The Household furnishes an illustrated description for a novel receptacle for keys. It made from heavy water color paper in shape of the small diagram "a." It is out about 8 inches long and 3 inches wide, folded along the dotted line in the middle and sewed with cardinal red embroidery silk.

A writer in The Etude say's: The student, when practicing, Bhould stand firmly on both feet in an upright, easy position, tho head erect, the chest well expanded, tho shoulders kept downward. He should open the throat as wide as possible, but the mouth only moderately, drawing the lips rather tight, so as just to show the upper row of teeth, as in smiling, in order that the sound, striking a hard surface, says Signor Lamperti, may vibrate with greater intensity and give a ring and brilliancy to the voice.

It is a great mistake to open the mouth too much. It causes a thick, unpleasant sonority, and renders rapid and distinct articulation impossible. The tongue should remain at full length, so as to leave the largest possible space in the mouth.

The student would do well to practice before a looking glass or hold a small mirror in his hand to see if the aperture of tho throat and the uvula are vislble-

If woolen carpets are found to be in a soiled condition, owing to the carelessness of little ones or servants, a remedy will be secured in a mixture composed of equal parts of ether and chloroform.

An old time preventive of roaches is equal portions of commeal and red lead mixed with molasses spread on plates and set about in infected places.

An excellent remedy for sunburn is obtained by miring together 4 ounces of alcohol, 4 ounces of benzoin and a pint of rainwater.

The flowers and leaves are then sewed to the foundation with satin or buttonhole stitch, or the two combined, and outline stitch is used for the veins of leaves, edges of stems, eta Stamens are put in with straight stitches and tipped with French knots. Feather stitch can be used with excellent effect in this work, tendrils and vines being especially pretty in this stitch. The vine connecting the flowers is worked in outline, birdseye and point russe stitches, with appropriate shades of olive green silk. The scarf is lined with sateen and finished with a pinked edge. Twisted embroidery silk is adapted to this work. This applique work is equally suitable for table covers, bureau soarfs and the lika When expense is no object, very rich effects may be produced on satin, with an applique of silk brocade flowers cut out. Of course to gain harmonious results taste is required in selecting flowers of pleasing colors and arranging the same with a view to a harmonious whole.

Children's Fashions.

An ideal dress for a little girl consists of a muslin guimpe striped with embroidery, to be worn beneath a tight fitting serge frock, absolutely simple in detail. This is becoming to every child from the age of 8 to the age of 10, always providing that she be slim. Very pretty is this dress when made of navy blue material, with trimming of light

Then for her plump sister the muslin guimpe appears to advantage beneath an empire belt, from which hangs acoordion plaiting. A very pretty dancing dress is made of mauve nun's veiling in this latter style, the hem being trimmed with double rows of Valenciennes insertion, the empire belt outlined to match. Very pretty is the coat made of alight tweed, with an effectively shaped square collar at the back and bearing the master hand of the tailor on its every seam. Suits for little boys who have not yet arrived at the dignity of knickerbockers are provided in infinite variety, mostly made with shirts and belts round the hips. These are equally successful in serge or tweed.

WALLED UP TO DIE.

The 1Mb of Hon Chang, the Chinese Assassin of Portland. Made Public. Chin Mow Sing, better known as Frank Sing, a Chinese resident of the highbinder district, told Chief of Polioe Hunt a very singular story, which the official is inclined to believe is true.

Several months ago, early one Sunday morning, a Chinese woman was cowardly murdered by having her throat cut on the sidewalk on Second and Pine streets. The detective force worked inoessantly to place its hands upon the assassin, but all to no purpose. Frank Sing belongs to the company of which the murdered Chinese woman was a member, and he says that the murderer was apprehended three weeks ago by his company in San Francisco. Mon CJhong, the assassin, had no personal feeling against his victim, but killed her for $800. One of the members of Chong's company, cognizant of the crime, turned Judas and for $500 paid him by the rival company he betrayed the murderer, who had fled to San Francisco. His captors did not hand him over to the regular authorities, but he was tried by a Chinese court, which sentenced him to be immured between airtight brick walls, where he would slowly end his life by suffocation. Sing declares that such sentences have often been execs-ted on this coast by the Chinese.—Portland (Or.) Dispatch.'

The project of "converting Paris into a seaport," to borrow the expression current here, or, in other words, of enabling ships to come up from Havre and Rouen to this metropolis through the utilization of the Seine and the construction of a canal at various points where that river widens considerably, has made great progress of late. The question is now being examined by a special committee, and it is thought that the bill may be voted by parliament at no distant date, thus admitting of the completion of the work in time for the opeliing of the great exhibition of the year 1900. One of the principal advocates of the enterprise says that the engineers who look after the navigation of the Seine are of opinion that no insurmountable difficulty will be encountered. If the plan one day becomes an accomplished fact, vessels up to 4,000 tons burden will be able to make their way to Paris from the sea.—London Telegraph.
