t Superstitions About Eczs.
The ancient Finns believe that a !
mystic bird laid an egg on the lap ol I
Vaimainon, who was to hatch it in
his bosom. Eut he let it fall and it
broke, the lower portion of the shell
forming the earth, the upper the sky,
the liquid white became the moon,
•nd the yelk the sun, while the little
fragments of broken shell were trans
formed into stars. English and Irish
mothers tell their children to push
their spoons through the bottoms of
egg shells after Qnisbing their meal,
"or else the witches will make boats
of them." In France a similar cus
tom prevails, but the reason assigned
is that the magicians formerly used
egg shells in concocting their dia-
V bolical witcheries.

' TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND OF
THEM IN WASHINGTON.
The Most Desirable Clerkships—l-'irst
Feminine Employe ot the Govern
ment—Dread ot Bein£ Watched,
yr WRITER in the New York
/ \ Advertiser says that there are
23,000 Governmeut employes
in Washington. Clerkships in
the Department of State are considered
the most desirable. To begin with, the
incumbents are never discharged with
out being provided with a consulship or
some other place. Their employment
carries a certain amount of social posi
tion with it. The most conspicuous of
the young swells in Washington are em
ployes of tho "Foreign Office," as they
like to call it. Beaux being greatly in
demand here, they have more invitations
than they can accept. With small sala
ries and no prospects, they would be re
garded as "detriments" in other cities,
but here they are at tho top of the
swim. Good manners anl the fact of
wearing pantaloons constitute satisfac
tory claims to recognition in local
society. They get their dinners at other
people's houses, see all tho plays that are
going without paying a cent, and enjoy
excellent opportunities for marrying the
rich girls who fairly swarm at the Capi
tal. They aro not even expected to
send a bouquet in acknowledgment of
of the entertainment they receive,
i The work of a clerk iu the Depait
ment of State implies no little responsi
bility. A wrong word in his transcript
of a diplomatic paper might place this
Government in a false positiou. Toe
business he transacts is mostly of a secret
nature. lie may know long in advance
whom tho President has chosen for a
Cabinet office, or what war ships are
about to be sent to threaten the cities of
a foreign Nation. If he tells auybo ly,
and his information gets out, his indis
cretion may upset a policy and disar
ranged a complete series of movc3 which
Uncle Sam is trying to carry out. Hap
pily, betrayals of secrets by Governmeut
clerks have been very rare.
Though one-half of the applicants for
places in the Department aro women,
only one person of the gentler sex is ap
pointed for every seven men. Tnerc is
u prejudice against female clerks on sev
eral accounts. Nevertheless some offi
cials have discovered that they can ofteu
get a woman for S9OO a year who is more
capable than a SI2OO mau. Before the
war tho employment of women as clerks
by the Government was almost unknown,
though they sometimes got copying to
do at home. The first woman regularly
employed wa3 put on tho rolls of tho
Navy Department thirty-five years ago.
She was a young widow. It was a grave
question what should bo done with her,
and it was thought bc3t to isolate her, as
if sho were contagious. An attic room
was given her, and she received and re
turned her copying by a messenger. To
day there are 1009 women in the Treas
ury alone. They and others in other
Departments are efficient as accountauts,
correspondents, linguists, draughtsmen,
tyesetters, etc.
In 1801 tho coined money belonging
to tho Government gave out and Con
gress authorized the issue of legal tender
notes payable in gold. These were the
original "greenbacks." They came in
sheets from the banknote companies,
with blank spaces for tho signatures of
the Treasurer and Register. It was nec
essary to cut them apart with scissors and
trim the edges, no machine having as
yet been invented for that purpose. Gen
eral Spinner suggested that women
should be employed temporarily to cut
and count the notes. A number of them
were hired, and alter they had cut $60,-
000,000 worth of paper Congress author
ized another issue, at the same time mak
ing the employment of tho women per
manent. Some of these women are still
at work in the Treasury, where their
sex is intrusted up to the present time
with the counting of the money. From
this starting point women gradually
made thoir way into the other Depart
ments.
A great many young men secure places
in the Department merely for the pur
pose of supporting themselves while ihey
are atudyiug in the great schools of law
and medicine hero. Matters aro so ar
ranged at these institutions that a clerk
who stops work at 4 p. m. can get din
ner and be on hand for the evening lec
tures, which begin at 0. After being
graduated, the young physician may
practice and yet stay in office, becoming
what is known as a "sundown doctor."
The medical schools of the Georgetown
College and Columbia University are of
the highest rank. In the Army Medical
Museum the finest medic U library in the
world is accessible. Justices of the
United States Supremo Court and great
medical officers of tho Governmeit are
members of the faculties of these and
other learned establishments in Washing
ton.
I If a clerk is absent on account of ill•
ne*B over sixty days in auy year, he or
she must pay a substitute. Tho Civil
Service Commission provides all the
substitutes that are wanted. It is pro
vided that the clerk 9 shall give to the
substitute a certain proportion of the
pay, usually amounting to about fifty-six
per cent. By thus hiring a substitute a
| alerk might retain his place in the ser
( vice of the Governmeut for ten years,
shough himself blind, paralyzsd and con
| dued to his bed. In all cases of sickaess
j i physician's certificate is required,
j The clerks are perpetually haunted by
i dread lest they are watchod by detcc
•.cctives of the Secret Service. That sort
>f thing is sometimes done, but only
rarely and on request of a superior cfti :or
jvho suspects that something is wrong,
[fa man who occupies a responsible
josition gets to drinking and "playing
;he races" it may bo thou jht worth
ivhile to have him shadowed for a time,
with a view to finding out what his
labits are. If a Government employe is
1 iissipated his boarding-house keeper,
' washerwoman and tradesman aro apt to
lutfer, ad they do not hesitate to ad
dress complaints to tho Department. $ If
such appeals come in so frequently as to
ho annoying an investigation follows.'
Oddly enough, the clerk who misbehaves
in such ways is usually not a new man,
but an old baud who feels sure of bis
place.

Ohronlo Catarrh*
Notwithstanding that a great number of
people have been cured of chronic catarrh
by taking pe-ru-na during the past cold
season, yet it cannot be denied that the
cold, wet, stormy winter has retarded many
cures, and in some cases actually prevented
a cure. IJut, after unusual delay, spring
time has come at last, and now is the time
for all catarrh sufferers to begin a system
atic course of treatment for this disease.
The greatest difficulty in the way of treating
chronic catarrh is that the patient is so
liable to catch cold during the treatment,
and thus delay a cure. This liability at this
season of the year is, in a great measure,
removed, and no one should neglect the
opportunity to be given treatment. Send for
free catarrh book.
As a spring medicine Fe-ru nn is a never
failing remedy. It cleanses the blood
through digestion, and gives tone to the
whole system by increasing tlie nutritive
value of the food. "Spring fever," as it is
sometimes called, which produces a tired
out, sleepy feeling,and inability to do much
mental or physical work, is tho result of a
sluggish digestion, and no blood medicine
will be of any use whatever unless it is able
to rectify the impaired digestion. The great
popularity that Pe-ru-na lias is due to the
fact that in all such cases it at once corrects
digestive derangements and enriches the
blood by purifying this very important
source of that vital fluid. Send for free

'August
Flower"
'' I have been afflicted with bilious*
nessand constipation for fifteen years
and first one and then another prep
aration was suggested to me and
tried, but to no purpose. A friend
recommended August Flower and
words cannot describe the admira
tion in which I hold it. It has given
me a new lease of life, which before
was a burden. Its good qualities
and wonderful merits should be made
; known to everyone suffering with
dyspepsia and biliousness." JESSK
