VERY LAZY EMPLOYES GOVERNMENT CLERKS REMISS. rk«y Do Tory little Work for Tkdr Bl( Ptf-Loof Vacation* and Short Boor*. In looking over tin* records of tbe Treasury Department Secretary Gage Inda that during the last fiscal year two-thirds of the employes availed themselves of tbe thirty days’ sick leave—which, when applied for. is al lowed by an amiable law without re duction in pay—in addition to the thirty days’ vacation each clerk is entitled -:o. In other words, two-thirds of tbe persons upon tbe pay roll of the treas ury served the government only ten months and were paid for twelve. It is probable that a similar advantage was taken of the law and tbe leniency it the higher officials In other executive departments. Therefore the secretary of the treasury lias decided to recom mend that Congress limit tbe sick leave to cases where i>ersons are abso lutely unable to perform their duties tud can bring certificates to the effect that their Illness was occasioned by their official service and not due to the ordinary exposure and accidents of pri vate life. In other cases clerks who are ill will be required to furnish substi tutes or forfeit their pny for the num ber of days they are absent. It Is be lieved that this will check the epi demic that seems to have prevailed last year. In their attempts to bring tbe work of tbe department up to date. Secretary Gage and Assistant Secretary Vander llp have been embarrassed by tbe law ■nd tbe custom under which tbe depart ment opens at 0 o'clock in tbe morning and closes promptly at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. It is almost Impossible to induce tbe employes to work later than the latter hour, no matter what hap pens, and the law protects them. Bu: after consultation with the committee on appropriations and the committee on the reorganization of the departments. Secretary Gage has decided to recom mend an amendment to the legislative and executive appropriation bill provid ing that chiefs of divisions shall report to heads of bureaus on the beginning of every month the condition of busi ness under their jurisdiction, and bends of bureaus shall furnish summaries of these reports to tbe secretary of the treasury, who. whenever it inny be found that any bureau or division Is behind In current work shall authorize and direct the head of that bureau to require his clerks to work overtime ns often and as long as it may be neces sary to keep pace with the business of their offices. It is probable that the heads of other departments will Join in this recommendation, and the law will be made general. There will be a great “kick” about this. Unde Sam is an easy taskmas ter. and the average government func tionary dislikes to be hurried. But Mr. Gage proposes to treat the Treas ury Department Just as he used to treat his bank. When there is work to be done, he proposes that the employes shall do it. Just as he and the assistant secretary do their work and stay all night In the building Jf necessary. The opponents of this reform will doubtless raise a point of order when the amendment Is offered in the House of Representatives, but the Speaker has promised to have a rule reported that will admit of any amendments that are designed to Increase the effi ciency and promote the economy of the public service. BUILT-UP WOOD. L Vemeerlag Pro©*** That M*k*s ®nb*t*«»- Iki F urn I tor*. It may come as a revelation to some to learn that the veneered table, side board or other article of furniture with a core of white pine is more dur able than the solid pieces of our fore fathers. In a high-class store, where antique furnitnre Is kept, a dose ex amination of tbe various articles will show that roost of them have some de fects; tbe wood Is warped, checked or cracked somewhere. This Is one of tbe Inevitable mishaps to hard woods, no matter how carefully they are cured and preserved. In abotft nine cases out of ten the wood will show defects before hglf a century old. The old veueered furniture has Its defects also; but they are In the form of chips and pieces knocked out. • This can be remedied by veneering over again, but tbe cracks in solid wood cannot well be repaired, says the Boston Tran script. The so-called system of “building up** lumber is now employed In the manufacture of most of this handsome furniture. This is a great improve ment over the old-fashioned one-layer reoMf work, and It i. the most dura ble ever mode. It consist, of cement ins together thin reneers of different woods transversely with the grain. The veneered wood runs In thickness ill the way from one-sixteenth of an Inch to half an Inch. Generally only hard woods are used for veneers, but a core of soft and light wood Is nearly always employed. On this core of pine the veneers erg cemented.

The result is that the “built-up” board can neither crack, split, warp nor twist. Moreover, it is lighter than any solid hardwood board, more flexible aud durable. This “built-up” Idea of wood origi nated in the shops of America, aud it has been worked here* more generally than abroad, although all of the Euro pean factories now avail themselves of the system. It is really the old idea of veneering improved and devel oped. It was first diseovered and em ployed lu the manufacture of the old three-ply chair and car seats. The re markable durability, strength and flex ibility of these seats were apparent at once, and they have been in vogue ever since. They were made by ce menting together three thin veneers of some strong wood, such as maple, ash or oak, with the grains running In op posite directions. The amount of strain these wooden scats would stand was beyond belief. BETTER THAN A SILVER Mltfß. The editor estimates that the in crease in yields had by the American farmer by planting Salxer’s Potatoes and new creations in Wheat, Oats. Corn, Rye. Grasses and Clovers the past year amounted In round numb-srt to $50,000,000. The reason of tbls Is Salxer’s farm and vegetable seeds are bred up to big yields.

The arrival of 04,538 barrels of American apples In one day at the port of Hamburg affords a new source of anxiety to the German agricultur ists. The crop of 1800 iu the United States was large and prices were low. American apples were sent in great quantities to Germany, aud created a market. The crop of 1807 was small and prices are high, but the German taste demands them even at the in creased cost. The German newspapers are sounding the alarm. They arc telling the fruit growers of tliat coun try that they are losing their market for choice apples to the Americans. B, Ana O. President*.

A Solsr Engine. A solar engine has just been com pleted In Boston, which will be tried for the purpose of generating power for pumping in Arixoim or New Mexi co in a couple of months. This engine is In tbe form of a half barrel, with a framework of Iron, 15x15 feet, with a coating of mirrors on the inside. These mirrors concentrate the rays of the sun upon a copper boiler, covered by thin class, fifteen feet four Inches long and eight laches in diameter. The base of the mirror frame is on a <»og wheel that runs on roller bearings, is to be con nected with powerful clock work, which will turn the machine so as to keep the mirrors directly opposite the sun daring the day. This engine is ex pected to generate power enough to run a five-horse compound condensing engine placed in a shed near by.

Two riggers in a western city a tew years ago performed a feat that for daring and steadiness of nerve equals anything on record. Some repairs were necessary at the very top of a high church steeple, one of those slender steeples that taper to a point 200 feet or so above the ground. There was no way to reach the spot from the in side. and the riggers got a number of light ladders and lushed them, one above the other, to the outside of the steeple, nearly to the top. The ton most ladder, however, was not high enough to enable them to reach the spot where the repairing was to be \ done, and. ns that part of the steeple was too small to permit them to lash a ladder to it conveniently, they adopt* ed a plan that it makes one shudder to think about, says the Philadelphia Times. One of them, carrying a pat of melted solder, climbed from one la 1- der to another until he had reached the last one, and then, bracing him self. he raised an extra ladder that the other rigger had brought up in hia hand and leaned it against the upper part of the steeple. Then the man be low grasped this ladder and held it steady while the man above climbed It to the point where his work was to be done. He began the work at once, but suddenly, by an unaccountable acci dent, he Joatied the solder pot and the fiery stuff ran out and fell over the hands and wrlsta of the man who was holding the ladder. But the brave fel low did not move. With a presence of mind and a courage that deserves a monument of brass or marble, he main tained a firm hold of th© ladder until his companion could come down from his perilous perch. Bobbing for Cnrnmala. Making taffy or any candy is, to be sure, great fun. but eating it is always far better. Buy some fresh caramels. They must be quite soft. Thread a stout needle with some fine white sew ing silk, tying a large knot lu one end. Draw tbe needle through the center of the caramel until the knot catches on the other aide. Unthread the needle, leaving the caramel attached to at least a yard of silk. Then tie a good knot In the tree end. Enough caramels should be prepared beforehand. When you wish to play the game gather tbe players In a circle, giving to each a caramel hung to the silk. The one who, after placing the knotted end between his teeth, with his bands folded behind him, first suc ceeds in drawing the caramel Into hia month wins the game. Of couraa there la a trick about It, but a very simple one. Just work It out. One little hint. Everything depends upon having that knot firmly fastened in the beginning between your teeth. It is really worth while to stop and watch the monkey like workings and twisting of faces, if you do get the “booby'* prise your self. ffilai mmmUmm tor Bsliwfllw. One of the qnaereftt of occupetlons by which men make their Bring is but terfly and as It la now con ducted th 'the Jangles of India and Africa it la also as full of adventure •ad narrow escapes as tiger hunting V* gold mining. The butterflies cC our fields and woods are, of course, too common to have any value, but there are very rare varieties that will bring as high as 51,000 a specimen, and it is to catch these that men undertake all manner of risks. Before a man can attempt butterfly hunting he must have a thorough scientific education, and then he can go to Africa, and by col lecting lizards and orchids and rare plants along with the butterflies he can often make very large sums of money. In capturing butterflies in the jungle the collector often has to climb trees where there aro poisonous in sects aud snakes and sit very quietly with his long net in hand and wait for the appearance of some beautiful but terfly. Then he must carefully scoop It in. get it down safely, and pack It for shipment to laondon. If he Is for tunate enough to find an entirely new and rare variety he can sometimes make a whole year’s salary out of it. Many wealthy people in Europe have magnificent private collections of in sects. and there are also good public collections owned by the governments. BUtorlral Old Cradle. Valparaiso, lnd. f has a cradle yet in actual use In the home of the Rev. John F. Brandt which is 106 years old. In this interesting nursery fixture more than forty babies have been rocked to sleep. In it was rocked In his infancy Mor decai Hardesty, the first white child born in Indianapolis. The cradle came from Virginia and was handed down to the Brandt family by the grand mother of Mrs. John L. Brandt, wife of the pastor of the Christian Taber nacle of Valparaiso. Mrs. George Mar quis is Mrs. Brandt’s grandmother. She had fourteen children, who w’ere rocked to sleep In this cradle. Mrs. Brandt's father was one of the four teen. He is now 86 years of age. It is a quaint old relic of the primi- tive days when cradles were hewn from a log. It was cut from one solid piece, except that the two rockers were mortised In and pegged on with wooden pegs. The headpiece, as shown In the picture, was intended as a head rest for the occupant and for the spread to rest on. The cradle is five feet three inches in length. By reason of its continuous service it has been worn very smooth, and Its fine polish causes it to resemble ebony rather than fine-grained black hickory wood. * * Blfffer Dictionary.

Ostriches That Waltz, One of the oddest sights on the sandy stretches of plain in southern Africa is a party of waltzing ostriches. A re cent writer on the subject thus de scribee their queer antics: “When there are a number of them they will start off In the morning and, after run ning a few hundred yards, will stop, and with raised wings will whirl rap idly round till they are stupefied, or perhaps break a leg. The males pose also before fighting and to make their court. They kneel on their ankles, opening their wings and balancing themselves alternately forward and backward or to one side or the other, while the neck is stretched on a level with the back and the head strikes the sides, now on the right, now on the left, while the feathers are bristling. The bird appears at this time so absorbed in ita occupation as to forget all that is going on around him, and can be approaehed and caught. The male alone otters a cry, which sounds much like an effort to speak with the mouth shut tight.'* A Rote Far Stamp Collector*.
