WHERE THE ROOK WAS HIDDEN. Hovernment Record* Were Missing for a Period of Five Years. From (he Washington Star. "Once in a while something out of the usual happens Ip the daily life of govern ment clerks which serves to break the monotony of the work.” said n clerk In the Interior Department. “Occasionally in all departments records or papers will mysteriously disappear and how they got away or where the}- went r. mains always an unsolved problem. About five years ago a large book containing the records used in one of the bureaus of this de partment suddenly disappeared. How it could have gotten out of the room without hands was unaocountable, as it was a bulky volume. It was of no value as a salable article and (he motive of the theft was as inexplicable as its where abouts. "Diligent search was made at once, but to no avail. The search was not given up, however, and was afterword periodically made in hopes that it wou'd he found in an unexpected place. And it was found in such a place a few days ago. One of the clerks happened to look upon the srat of the chair of another clerk—an elderly laay with poor eyesight—and there, under a piece of outer covering, lay the big hook. The lady was a short person and the book had faithfully pieserved its records anti held her up for live long and weary y, ars without complaint. There was a general laugh at her expense, but the chief was very glad it was eventually found in the office. "Official papers are often blown from the desks of clerks Into the street. Some times they are of importance, but usually they may be replaced with a slight delay constituting the only loss. A clerk care lessly laid five *lO bills on his desk In a room on the Seventh street side cf h? former Postofficc Department building in a pay day a few years ago. It was durlrg a heavy thunderstorm. A minute later the bills were taken up by a gust of wlrd and went sailing in all directions high In the air above the street. Where ih-y landed was never known, for none was recovered. The clerk took his loss philo sophically when he got over the shock mid said while he had heard of It raining cats and dogs, he could testify in any court that he had seen it rain crisp new *lO bills in Washington. "One day In this department some valu able papers disappeared. It was thought they had been stolen. Several weeks sub • eOquently (hey were discovered under (hr corner of a desk occupied by a tomporaty clerk. She had thought them of no value, *nd had placed them in this position to preserve the equilibrium of the desk, one af tha roller* being loat.", Southern Railway.

Soon there will be a chance for some one to get possession by purchase at auc tion of the Natural Bridge of Virginia. It is to he .old at auction by Henry W.

The rock bridge of Rockbridge county, Virginia, is regarded as one of the greatest of natural won ders. It has rank with Niagara, the Gar den of the Gods, the big trees and the Yosemtte of California, the Arizona canon of the Colorado, and the Mammoth Cave. It is a single block of limestone 215 feet high and 100 feet wide. It spans a great chasm so deep that the aun never enters its gloomy depths.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. A hostess who was entertaining a party of friends the other evening wrote this question at the top of tin* first page of a blank book: “What conventional lie is told most frequently in casual conversa tion?” Everybody was asked to supply an answer, and the collection as a whole was amusing. One man wrote: ‘‘The two lies we teil oftenest on papeY are ‘Dear Sir’ and ‘Yours truly.’ The person ad dressed is seldom dear, and the writer is never truly his n.” Another replied: “The commonest conventional lie is ‘Good morn ing;’ next commonest, ‘Glad to meet you.’ Here are a few others recalled at random: “I neVer pay any attention to anonymous letters” is a familiar boast and a familiar falsehood. “We often declare, ‘if I have anything to say about a man I say it right to his face;’ generally we dont.’* “1 am not in the least superstitious” is one of the hardest worked lies In the world; we are at heart intensely supersti tious.’' REGULATION OF 1101 SE DRAINAGE.
