OOVERNMENTjJBY INSPECTION.
Many Special Agents Are Employ
ed by Uncle Sam.
Members of congress are be
ginning to think this is a govern
ment by inspection, if they may
judge by the number of special
agents or inspectors that are now
on the pay roll of the various de
partments. The response to the
recent resolution of Mr. Tillman
calling for a list of these em
ployes, their salaries, and their
duties, is awaited with keen in
terest by members of both houses.
None of these employes is pro
vided for by congress—that is,
their pay is not fixed. Lump
sums are appropriated and the
secretaries pay! whatever they
believe the services to be worth.
A few instances will show how
this peculiar service has!£expand
ed. In the census office the lump
sum has grown from nothing to
$500,00, covering 735 specials; in
the department of justice, from
nothing ten years ago to $379,-
317; in the treasury department
from $65,000 to $125,000, cover
ing an indefinite number of
employes; in the interior depart
ment, from SBO,OOO to $250,000
providing for from 120 specials
up to the limit of the appropria
tion; in the department of com
merce and labor from nothing to
$155,000, covering about 35 spe
cial employes.
In the agricultural department
from nothing ten years ago, the
lump appropriation has jumped
to more than $4,000,000 to pro
vide for between 2,000 and 3,000
special agents and inspectors.
This list will be enormously in
creased when the inspectors in
connection with the revised meat
inspection and the administration
of the pure food law are put to
work. In addition to these lump
sums, each department has a
specific appropriation for the var
ious kinds of inspection and in
vestigation demanded by its ad
ministrative system.
Members of congress contend
that not only do these special
employes cost the government
too much money, but they are
doing too little work of sufficient
value to warrant their employ
ment and that in many instances
they have made themselves ob
noxious by the manner in which
they have endeavored to carry
out their instructions. They in
tend to know who these men are,
what they are supposed to do and
what they'are doing.
It is wiser to follow prevailing
fashions than to assume a pecu
liar garb that will call forth com
ment, and perhaps ridicule.
The reason a woman doesn’t
spend more money on her clothes
is because her husband doesn’t
have any more for her to spend.
If a wo man can’t find any other
excuve for her husband not being
able to make a living she will say
he has an artistic temperament.
EARLY FLYING MACHINE.
Remarkable Invention by a Portuguese
Which Failed to Work.
In the London Evening Post,
dated Dec. 20 and 22, 1709, is an
interesting description of a flying
ship then lately invented by a Portu :
guese priest. Unfortunately for the
glory of Portugal it dii?. not fly, as
was expected, 200 miles in twenty
four hours or at all. In order that
the deeply scientific among our read
ers may understand the cause Oi iU
failure we quote a few ejtr®' ' 8 f roni
its specificate 7 110 ship \ vas flt _
ted, in uie g rs t place, with “sails
wherewith the air is to be divided.”
It had two pairs of bellows,
“which inust he there
is no wind. At opposite ends of
the hull were “the globes of heaven
and earth, containing in them the
attractive virtues.” These served
as covers to “two loadstones placed
in them upon pedestals to draw the
ship after them.”
We have not yet exhausted the
list of motive powers carried by this
remarkable invention. Over the
whole was “a cover made of iron
wire in form of a net, on which are
fastened a good number of large
amber beads, which by a secret op
eration will help to keep the ship
afloat, and by the sun’s heat (certain
mats) that line the ship will be
drawn toward the, amber beads.” It
is strange that a flying ship fitted
with so many alternative appliances
should have failed to fly at all. Pos
sibly the amber heads tried to fly
one .way, the globes another, the
wind and the bellows worked in yet
other directions, and thus stable
equilibrium resulted. London
News.
A Regular Customer.
Uncle Erastus, the village plaster
er and whitewashes who had mar
ried and buried four wives, was
about to acquire a fifth. He went
to the house of the Presbyterian
minister, a venerable man who had
officiated at several of his previous
weddings, to make arrangements to
be married there the following even
ing.
“Of course 1 shall he glad to mar
ry you to your new wife, L T ncle ’Ras
tus,” said’ the minister. “This will
be the third or fourth time for me.
won’t it? How does it happen, un
cle, that you never have a colored
preacher to tie the knot for you?”
“Well, sah,” he answered, “Ps
kind o’ got in de habit o’ gittin’ a
white man to do my marryin’, an’ I
reckon I’ll alius do it. I’s tumble
sot in my ways, [Mi stall Pa’ker.”
Maine’s Champion Eim.
One of the champion elms of
Maine stands in Hallowed. Its girth
is 17 feet 10 inches, and it has a
spread of top, measured at right an
gles, of 105 feet by.HI. feet. This
elm has a most magnificent and
symmetrical top, throwing out its
branches more than fifty feet in all
directions. Down in old York they
have some elms, of which they are
justly proud. One, known as the
Grant elm, has a girth of 17 feet 8
inches and spread of top 71 feet.
Another very symmetrical elm
stands but a few yards from the
York village postoffice, whose girth
is 14 feet 10 inches and spread of

The Bone Didn’t Fit.
“Mother’s compliments,” said a
youngster to a butcher who kept a
shop in a busy suburban thorough
fare, “and she’s sent me to show you
the big bone brought with the piece
of beef this morning.”
“Tell your mother the next time 1
kills a bullock, without hones in it
I’ll make her a present of a joint,”
said the man of meat, with a grin.
“Mother’s compliments,” contin
ued the boy, “and she says next time
you find a bit of sirloin with a shoul
der of mutton bone in it she’d like
to buy the whole carcass as a curios
ity!”—London Telegraph.
Cultivate a Cheery Manner.
There are some salesmen whose
entruuce into the presence of pro
spective customers is like the advent
of spring after a hard winter. They
bring a burst of sunshiny weather.
The tired and ill humored customer
who has been sitting on the mourn
er’s bench all day nursing his trou
bles loosens his hold, on his grouch
in the presence of that insistent op
timist. It is as if some one had
opened a window in a stuffy house.
He feels the invigorating effect of
ozone.—Success Magazine.
Her Revenge.
The London Chronicle contrib
utes an anecdote of child life. A
little girl of four years was stand
ing on the pavement apparently
deep in thought. A boy of about the
same, age came up and, seemingly
without any reason, slapped her in
the face. She turned, ran up to ;
him, flung her arms about his neck
and kissed him. She probably
thought there was nothing that
would make the little lad so uncom
fortable as to bo kissed.
