There was simply un unpnralleled looseness In the conduct of post office business, and every man seemed to have license to steal wherever he could. Kvcn newspapers would bo stolen from bundles and sold for what ever could be got for them. Another form of corruption was evi dent when the salary lists were ex amined. There w as no scale of salaries. In one eity a postmaster would receive twice the salary that the postmaster of a larger city received.

How It Wan Workeil on a St. Loots Scribe by a Conscienceless) ton temporary. A reporter named Jones on a daily in St. Louis was detailed to interview the (fovernor of another Rtate, who had slipped into the city on a secret political mission, says the San Francisco Argo naut. He learned to his disgust that Jackson, the star reporter of a rival sheet, also proposed to cull in an hour. Acting on Inspiration, he sent up a card bearing Jackson's name and was 'promptly admitted. When he had learned all he wanted lie asked, with gross intentional impudence, whether the Information wbb really true. The governor turned purple. "D'y' question mj word?" lie asked. "Oh, don't get gay!" replied Jones airily; "common governors cut no iee with my office." The old man foamed at the mouth. uYou Insolent scoundrel," he roared, "get out of my room!" That was ex actly what Jones wanted and he went. Presently Jackson showed up. "Here, lxy," ho said, pompously, "take my card to the governor." When the old 'man looked at the pastebourd he nearly expired. "The blnnkety-blanked in famous villuin!" he spluttered. "I -never heard of such blankety-blunked effronery in my life! Tell that mis- creant if he or anybody else from his infernal paper comes up here 1 II kill Vui!" The word was carried to Jaek soti, who went uway raving.

Tlie Force Emulu) I'll In London 1 Only Halt us Lnrue lit That of I'urli. The Pritish towns seem to have the smallest number of paid firemen of any cities in Kurope und Americu, says Mu nicipal All'airs. The London lire brig ade has about SCO men, about the same number as lierlin. widen has only a fourth of the population, und less than one-hulf the size of the Paris corps (ilasgow has but 100 men to 800,000 pop ulation; Leeds but 33 to 400,000 people, and Sheilield 22 men to u population of 3.10,000. Liverpool, l'.rlntol, Cardiff, Norwich, Promley und other towns have no separately organized lire de- purtment, the work of suppressing lires being performed by tlie regular police force. The expenditures lor lire protec lion are on a similarly unimportant scale. Thus Leeds spends less than SS.non a vear. ond Sheffield less than $10,000 a vcur; Preston, with a populn tion of 113,000, reports only $1,500 spent for its fire brigade, and Norwich, with 100,000 population, only $750 a year. A Jew towns, however, show a somewhat larger range of expenditures, tjlasgow and Liverpool' each annually expend in Ihe neighborhood of $75,000 about ten cents per capita und proportionate ' amounts are expended by Edinburgh, 3ublin, Belfast and Sal ford. The Lon lion brigade costs about $930,000, or 20 cwits per capita. Put even these except tonal Instances are below the per cap' ib expenditures for fire protection in other European cities of the same size. A Faithful Dour. The Paris Flguro relates a touch ing souvenir of the poet de Musset, as mentioned by the poet s governess, yime. Adele Colin Martellet, who has Jost published her memoirs. The poet had a small dog named fao. After the poet died, the dog, supposing him absent, continued to await his return at the same hour every evening for pe riod of seven years, when it also died. ,Mme. Martellet's husband took the dog to Auteuil to be buried, nnd found soma workmen engaged In digging out a new street. The faithful dog was buried by tho men, and the street In which the animal's remain were laid is called tha Hue de Musset. ilirvrntlon fay the Marqnla of I,orne, ' The marquis of Lorne-hus taken out n patent for n brake to be.npplled to the luck wheeljf a bicycle v Home Qnrrr Trees.

Scott, the man who bttilt the Oregon, once refused a raise in his salary. The firm was then building tho Haginaw for the government. Donahue was ut the legislature much of the time soon after Scott's arrival, and affairs at the works were at sixes and sevens. Brodio, the foreman, threatened to leave and did leave, and Scott, without au thority and although only engaged as a draftsman, took entire charge and di rected things for two weeks nntil Dona hue's return. He introduced Bysteia in to the methods and made affairs run along so smoothly that Donahno was pleased and made bun permanent tore man. About this time Donahue offered to incrcuse his wages, but Scott thought over the mutter and declined. "If I break my ycar'a contract with yon," he said to Donahue, "I'll have to take what yon give me. I prefer to keep my con t rue t, and when it's np you'll have to pay me what I'm worth." Donahue looked aghast. "You're the first man," he said, "that I've ever known to refuse a raise of pay. " Results justified Scott's foresight. At tho end of the year ho was re-engaged and was paid jnst four times what Don ahue had offered him. Dressed For the Jury. Pretty women on trial have a habit of dressing so as to impress the jury, but the highest typo of this art was naturally left for development in Puris, where toilets nre "composed" for the occasion. An example of the art was in evidence at the trial of Mine. Bian- chini, who was accused of having dis posed of her husband in an unlawful way. "Her costume, " says n chronicler, "was tlie essence of outraged diguity nnd resignation, and at the same time of elegance, due to her position as a mondaino Parisienne. Sho naturally was all in black, with a mantle close fitting at the waist and a high collet do moiigolio. The severity of tho low hat, with its ostrich pinnies, was relieved by her jaunty way of symbolizing her confidence in the triumph of innocence in that tho left brim was turned up, sheltering a littlo bunch of peacock tips." True Thrift. Hicks appreciated the shrewd ns well as tho humorous sayings of the Cornish country folk. There dwelt not fur from bis abode a duirywoman und her bus bund who had begun ' life in a very small wuy with one cow, and who, by industry uud thrift, had acquired quite a number. "How ia it," said Hicks to her one day, "that yon have got on so well, Mrs. P. II" "Well, yon see, Mr. Hicks," she re plied, "most people he ullus thinking of what they do want, but I and my old man, we bo alius thinking of whut we can do without."

Lonisville Courier-Journal. lie Wna Clean. - The advantago of a trained nnrse is that she knows not only what to do, bnt what not to do, since unnecessary attentions merely exhaust the patient. The point is illustrated by tho follow ing story from an old Cap newspaper of the time of the Zoltfwar, when kindly but nninstrnctod Indies rushed off in embarrassing, numbers to give their services at the military hospitals. "What can I do for yon, my poor fellow T" asked one of the gentle nnrses of a sufferer. "Nothing, thank yon, miss." "Not anything V said the charming visitor persuasively. "I don't think so," murmured the wounded man wearily. "At loust," Bhe said mildly but firm ly, "I can wash your face." Sho fetch ed tho necessary materials and scoured Mr. Atkins' rneful countenance.

While the raising of swine is not ex actly a poetical occupation, it is said to be a paying one and one that would be practicable for a woman to engage in. "One of tho most thoroughgoing, capable business women of the day," says The Practical Farmer, "is a breed er of fine swine, and she has wen a reputation that is enviable. She has made thousands of dollars from the business and is proud of and enjoys her work. Poultry and swine breeding as a purt of tho farm wife's business ventures forms both a happy und profit able combination. Even tho word 'hap py, ' sho says, is well placed, for it is a happy work caring for and owning handsome, sows nnd pretty, thrifty pigs, fino'shotes und marketable hogs. Little pigs, she asserts, are as lovable ns baby chicks, and through actual ownership one takes pride and comfort in watch ing them grow and looking to tho com forts und needs of the entire swine herd."

A recent discussion nt a dinner table, whether "gotten" or "got" were the preferable participle, received a practi cal solution, at least for the telegraphic service, from nn experience related of a college professor who preferred "got ten." lie hud telegraphed to his wife: "Have gotten tickets for the theater to night. Meet me there. " The telegraph operator rendered this into "Have got ten tickets," etc. Mrs. Professor was delighted with the opportunity of entertaining her friends and accordingly made up a party of eight besides herself, whose greetings to the professor at the rendezvous were probably moro cordial thun his feeling until mutters were expluined. He now mukes an exception to his customary use of "gotten." A Swift Illrd.
