SEN. BACON SCORES APPOINTMENT SYSTEM. Washington, .May *5. —The lull in the proceedings of the senate occasioned by the delay of the railroad hill and a set speech by Senaton Kourno, of < tregon, on the right of the people to spinet t heir office holders, offered Sena tor Karon a fine opportunity to riddle the referee system of ap pointing postmasters and federal officers in the south. Incidentally, Senator Kacon al luded to the fact that until t'e eently both of the federal officers in Georgia connected wi*)| federal revenues were negroes. The col lector of the port at Savannah, a negro, recently died, but. the in ternal revenue collector at Atlan ta continues in office. He said: •• Nobody supposed that either one of them could have been se lected for any office by the com munities in which they Jived; and while urn* of them has since died, today the collector of internal revenue m Georgia i« a" negro, a negro harber, who has been in tin office for Id years. There is no way to get him out, because, hav ing once been appointed, he holds the oflice until removed by the president. “In these Id years, there has been no reappointment of this col lector of internal revenue, and then* has been no opportunity tor tie senate to pass upon his con-; tirillation in that time or in any way to effect removal. “Does any man suppose for h moment that 1 lint man is there in accordance with the wishes of lho people with whom he is iii daily Contact in the collection of the internal revenues of the state ol Georgian'.'” SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS HOLD YEARLY SESSION.

Th« Saliiman Laarn* Something es a Long Admired Industry. “From tin* time 1 waa a very •mull boy until 1 began to sell i cream of tartar,” said the />i-*ale»- j man, “I Had an overwhelming curi osity to know how tlnu got the filling inside the two articles of diet which as a youngster I liked best in the world chocolate eclairs and 1 cream puff's. Now that 1 know 1 can’t understand why with all the thought 1 gave to the subject I didn't figure it out for myself. It’s so simple. “Os course vou don’t have to be a linker to know you can't hake an ' eclair with the filling in it. It's got to he made separately and put in after vou’ve got the shell all made and baked. When I got selling cream of tartar and used to go he- , hind the scenes of the bakeshops 1 found out how they did it. They use a force pump. The pump has a needle-like spout, and is tilled with .soft custard. Vou slick the point into the eclair, push down your pump handle and tlie thing is filled. Easy, isn't it? It's such a little hole that you never see it. “1 never got tired watehing the>n . work in the bakeries. There would he a big pile of fresh baked shell* of eclairs and cream puffs. A man would seize the little pump ami in a minute or two have them all filled. Another man would he shaping pies so fast, that, it made you dizzy. Along would come another man with a wagon full of fillings and fill the pies iis fast as the oilier shored them along. It's the same wav with everything so different, you know, from mother's methods. “As for the baker's oven, if you have never seen one you've got a surprise coming. There's only one oven to a bakesliop generally, and it’s as big as a room Mow do they get things in and nut ? Kasy, again. They use long poles with a shovel like arrangement on the end. They put their cakes, or whatever the hatch mav he, in this, and if they want to they can deposit them on the farther side of the over, fifteen or twenty feet away. In the same wav when a thing is/lone they reach I in over whatever else may he bak j ing arid shovel it up.” New York Sun. The Certainty of F»t«. The Mohammedans hate a fable which thev repeat, to illustrate the I certainty <>f lute. A sultan was once asked by his favorite, the grand vizier, for per- ; mission to leave at ome for Smyr ; na, although a brilliant court fete was then in progress. Fpon being asked hi- reason for such haste the 1 vizier replied: '‘because I ju-t saw the angel of death tunder in the crowd. He j looked at me so earnestly that 1 know lie has come for me. I wish I to escape him.” “Go! Go at once!" said the *ul i tun, who then beckoned to the an gel ami a-ked win the latter had looked so enniestlx at the vizier. “1 was wondering,’' replied the nugel of death, “why he was here, for l have orders to kill him in I Siny rmi." Waste cf Food on Big Liners As to food waste the most t v traordinary is perhaps found on tic : lug liners that carry three elasse of passengers, says the London Chronicle. Von might imagine j that the elaborate dishes prepared for tlit' saloon would he passed ' down from class to class and that j tin' poorer would eat of the crumbs that are carried from the rich man's table. Not a bit of it. The second cla-s would resent a “mcmi” that i title- not ao round, ami even the steerage passengers would quarivk if the fare were not the saute for all. And so the big liners pitch good food into the ocean. Th« B*tt«r Way.

MEN OF ACTION. Tho Story of a Perilous Rescue Expe dition In Alaska. Iti the rush for Alaskan gold men i did not forget to be ready to help I the unfortunate. The author of “Trailing and Camping In Alaska.’ Mr. A. M. Powell, narrate.- an mei dent that occurred at Valde-, The place was overcrowded with pro--, 1 peetors and miners, food wa- urge, and there was a good deal of sick ness. Many had come over the glacier, and others had lost their live- in the uttempt. A dog team galloped up and •topped in front of the only pro tense of a hotel at Valdes. Thu : night was dark, as the northern i winter nights always are when the moon is not shining. The dogs ini mediatelv lay down, almost ex • haunted from their long trip, ant/, the two men were soon surrounded bv inquiring friends. One of the two said: “What do you think, fellows? Just this side of Sawmill camp we passed a woman who was pulling a sled oil which was her sick hus band. We remoitst rated against the i undertaking- of crossing the glacier, : lint she replied that they might as well die up there ns anywhere els/*, a* it meant certain death to stop. Our dogs could only pull our outfit, and there wasn’t grub enough for ail. so we w<;re compelled to leave them. They will be at the last tim ber tonight, and if somebody does not go to their rescue they will be dead I* v this time tomorrow.” A man stepped out from the crowd and said: “I'll go for one. Now, who else lots a good dog team to splice in with mine?” “I’m your huckleberry,” an nounced another. It was 3 o’clock in the morning before they had made their selec tion of dogs ami were ready to start on 1 hat hazardous trip. “There goes the best dog team in Alaska and driven by the best two men on earth!” exclaimed a man as they turned a corner and w ere gone. The trail was easily followed, and ! soon the nine miles of level bench s were passed. The speed slackened 1 only when they were ascending the summit, which they reached by II that morning. Mown, down the steep descent thev plunged, and by 1 o’clock were ! off the glacier and skipping over i level ground. The poor woman , had pulled the sled until she was : exhausted and had sat down beside | her husband. She was hidden to i i seal herself comfortably, while they I fastened the two sleds together Soon thev were bounding away at such a rapid rate of speed that Ih< woman wept for joy. When they recrossed the summit the whole range was “smoking*’ and the wind was sending the fine snow along the crust. “Twenty miles to town, and it can never catch us." said the driver. Townsmen anxiously waited and watched the trail. As the team rushed up they wen* surrounded by , eager, helping hands. They were saved bv men not of good inten tions only, but by men of instant action. Muit Finish the Game. In a small country town there once lived a couple of young fellows i who had gone into partnership in a barber's business, and in order to I pass the time one particularly dull 1 afternoon Tom proposed to Mick that they indulge in a quiet game i of “nap.” The quiet game went on hour after hour, and when the shades of night had fallen for some time neither of them noticed that a customer had entered. Me sur veyed them in silent contempt for some few minutes. “Sorry if I interrupt," he said, acidly, at last, “but I’m in a hurry. Which of you fervid sportsmen is going to shave me ?” Tom looked over the hand which had just been dealt him. Then, in a mice full of suppressed excite ment, he said: "Just one moment, sir. Wait un til we see w ho owns this shop?”— London Scraps. Why Savage* Turn In Their Toe*.

References the Natives Produce Are Not Always Complimentary. The servant problem is bad enough in America, and the experi ences mistresses have to relate are mans' and varied, but an infinitely wider range of possibilities is open ed up when mere man—and a bachelor man at that- tackles the servant and other household pro!' Ictus in an East African bungalow. Anything can and does happen then. Native house servants of a sort are plentiful enough around the chief towns of British East Africa, Nairobi and Mombasa, and the slightest rumor that the muzimgu (white man) requires a “hoy'’ or rn’pezi (cook) fills one s compound with cooks, "generals” and raw ne groes representing every tribe un der Africa's sun. The average bachelor contents himself witli four servants —a head “bov,” a cook, a toto (youth) to as sist them arid a rn'sheuzi (raw, un trained native) for odd jolts, gar dening, etc. It is no easy task to make a se lection from the host of eager, volu ble applicants. Dirty, carefully; stuck together “lamias’ (testimo nials) are examined and the owners questioned, Imt it is unwise to put much faith in t hose documents, for ; it is rio unusual occurrence for a “hoy”—on (lie principle of “the more the merrier” —to proudly pre sent vou with three testimonials, every one hearing a different name from the one under which he intro duces himself. These gentry are always greatly offended when you kick them oil' the veranda and tell them they have bought or stolen tlie docu ments from other natives! Upon one occasion a would he cook brought the writer a “barua” sign ed bv a well known settler and worded: “To whom it may concern: The ! ' bearer of this 'barua’ is an infernal j rogue and thief. Please kick him out.” By (lie time she white man had stopped laughing the negro had ar rived at the conclusion that some thing was wrong and was doing rec- | ord time down the path.—World Wide Magazine. The World's Largest Crab. The gigantic Japanese crab, meas uring twelve feet, is probably the largest crustacean in the world. It is a tvpe of the spider crab, which inhabits the waters of the group of islands forming the empire of Ja ; pan. The bodv portion is the size ! of a half bushel measure, while its ! j two great arms, or “feelers,” could S easily encircle the figure of a man. Its eight arms, or legs, resemble I huge bamboo poles and are ex tremely elastic, and if strung inlo ; ore line they would reach to the top of a four story apartment building. One of the extraordinary i peculiarities of this crab is the fac ulty of assuming a disguise by as- \ fixing pieces of seaweed and sponges to the body. Would Drown All Sounds. The agent of the apartment house was trying to discourage him from applying for a fiat. “Your nerves would be ruined,” said the agent. “There is a pho- j nograph on the second floor tiiat runs day and night.” “Dot was nuttin’s,” responded the little man in the red and bine cap. “On the third floor a girl prac tices on Sie piano all day.” “1 vud hear her nod.” “And just across the air shaft a lunatic blows the cornet at all hours.” “Der souuds vud nod reach me." “Great Josephus! Are you deaf r” ' “Xein! 1 May der drouibone.”— Chicago News. Easy to Arrange. The poor but honest young tnan had bearded the millionaire in his den. “Well.” he said, "1 want to marry your daughter." “Impossible, sir. impossible!” ex claimed the old man. “Why. 1 would rather give up every pound 1 have than part with my only daughter." “Oh. very well,” calmly rejoined th©jdiplomatic youth: “if tlint's the way you feel about it 1 won’t he too heavy on you.
