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

FILLING CREAM PUFFS.
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.

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?”—

Why Savage* Turn In Their Toe*.
In the first place, the foot natu
rally takes that position when it lias
never been confined bv boots or the
ankle distorted by high heels. Con
venieiicc i» also on the side of the
natural position of the foot in the

and undergrowth in forests. Con

SERVANTS IN AFRICA.
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. Just write me
out a cheek for a hundred thousand
and we’ll let it go at that.”—Pear
son's Weekly.
A Fireless Cooker
“Have you ever tried u tireless
cooker?”
"Yes. We’ve had one for six
months. My wife has tried to fire
her. and I’ve told her to go. but rite
simply ignore- our requests and
says she'll s, ratch the eyes out of
j any other girl we dare to bring into
the kitchen.” Chicago Reeord-
