The Hungry Horde Of Government
Office Seekers.

A reporter OF the washington RepNb'
Acan paid visit to the Treasury De.
partment the other day to get peep al
q portion of the hungry army of Office
seekers. He thus briefly disposes of the
subject: just now there is one room Of
especial interest, and an hour spent
there during the morning watching the
great stream of ofiice-seekers will reveal
the funny as well as the disagreeable
side of the position of appointment
clerk. The floor is covered with rich
Wilton carpet, Of Egyptian design; be-
tween the windows mirror, in q carved
walnut frame, reaches from floor to
ceiling; heavy dark blue curtains shade
the windows and partially shut out the
beautiful view of the Potomac River and
the hillsides of. Virginia. At large
desk in the middle of the room is seated
Major Lamphere, who gives patient
hearing to each one in turn. Some are
dismissed with instructions to call again,
and some are forced to receive the same
old story, "no vacancies
A smiling, robust colored individual
approaches, and, handing letter to
Major L., requests him to read it. After
doing so he turns to the hopeful's smil-
ing face with the question, "Well, what
do you want?'' and the reply comes
back, go, anything you choose to give
me-" evidently thinking all that is nee
essary is to walk up to the public crib
and receive his share. 81 do not want
clerkship, sir. I-I-would like to be
a messenger" He is told to make out
his application, and he moves out to
make way for slight female figure
clad in widows weeds, whose sad face
and embarrassed air appeal to the
sympathy of every one. Her hands are
filed with letters and testimonials,
which she thinks are of sufficient i'm
portance to open the way Immediately
for her appointment. but she is told to
call again; the papers will be filed, and
when there is q vacancy she may be
considered. She leaves with q disap-
pointed air, and sigh comes floating
back as the door is closed.
A hopeful young man comes next,
who is willing and anxious to serve his
country in any capacity that will pay
81, 200 a year and upward. He has la
bored faithfully during the campaign;
he voted early and often, and there
should be some recognition of his SER
vices. But he, too, must be patient;
the papers will be filed, and when va
cancv occurs his case will receive atten-
ton. And so it goes on, day after day,
until one wonders if there are any re-
sources outside of Government positions.
One-half of the energy devoted to secur
ing Endorsements and following up ap-
plications, if devoted to some calling
outside, would in the end prove twice
as remunerative and far more indepen-
dent than the best position under the
Government.

The HumOr Of Small.POx.

Generally speaking, there is nothing
overwhelmingly funny about the small
pox, but the doctors who are called to
prescribe for patients occasionally run
on something that tickles them. Not
many years ago doctor here was called
to see q man at one of the hotels, who
lived in Iowa. The man was sick IS a
horse, and the doctor had his suspicious
about what allied him, but couldn't tell
exactly, SO he gave him something to
quiet him, and told the friend who was
with him that he would call in the morn
ing. The friend said he thought as
much of the sick man as he could of a
brother. The next morning the doctor
called and the sick man was alone. He
examined him and found that he had
the smallpox. While he was dealing
out some medicine the friend came in.
Said he: "Doc, that medicine ain I
worth continental. This man is very
sick" The doctor said he had come to
that conclusion himself. "Why," said
the friend, g. rubbed him all night.
think he would have died if had not
rubbed his head. When a man is nv
friend he can draw on me for all that is
out, and don't you forget it, The doc
tor said he was glad to hear it. He said
there was nothing more touching to
him than pure friendship between men.
and he was glad the sick man had
q friend that would stick to him. s.You
bet your life," says the friend.
And then he almost minated that the
doctor did not understand his business,
and said something had got to be done,
if there were any doctors in Milwaukee
who could handle the case. The doctor
was little hot, and when a friend asked,
''Do you know what ais him!" the doc
tor said he thought he did. Then he
pulled down the bed clothes and pointed
to q little swelling near the little toe,
and asked the friend if he could see it.
81 see it! OF course I can. It's only q
little pimple." The doctor said there
was only one disease that showed that
kind of pimples. ''What is that?'
asked the friend, impatiently. "Small-
pox!" said the doctor, in the most ae
gravating way. s'Suffering Moses, let
me out of that door!" shouted the
friend, and the doctor said you could
have played marbles on his coat tail.
The doctor fixed up the patient, ana
when he went out in the hall the friend
was leaning against q trunk, white As
sheet and weak as a cat. ssDoc," says
he, in quivering voice, ''that man in
there is nothing to me. wouldn't 90

there no way to fumigate me? Say, Doc,

Flannel and Cheviot Dresses.

How to make plain dresses of flannel
and of Cheyiot for early spring is the
inquiry of many correspondents. The
newest designs for these are very SIM
pie, in some instances consisting of q
single skirt, with merely tucks for trim
ming, and a tucked jacket-waist. Six
or eight tucks, each two inches wide,
are around the skirt, and narrow box
plating is sewed to the edge like bay
layeuse, or else there is a dounce six
inches wide, folded in broad box plaits
sewed in the lower tuck without other
heading, and made to fall to the edge of
the skirt. Such skirts are from three
yards to three and half wide. Similar
skirts are very widely stitched, and
have a pointed apron draped in front.
More dressy flannel suits have a pointed
apron over-Skirt, with some of the new
striped satin for bordering. The apron
is really double, and has two points near
the right side, while the back breadth
has but one point, and that may be in the
middle or on one side, according to the
wearer's fancy. Such suits are very
pretty in coachman's drab, tan or beige
colored flannels, trimmed with satin that
has a brown ground striped with green
and red. There are other dresses with
the satin turned up in retrousse facings
on each apron, instead of being merely
q border. Sometimes block patterns of
soft wool goods are used for these re-
trousses, also for the gathered lining of
the hood, for collars and cuffs. The
Carrick collars on basques of new fam
mel suits are very pretty, and give suf-
ficient warmth to dispense with an out
side wrap. These have usually two deep
collars, though some basques have three !;
they are quite straight across the back
and front, are widely stitched near the
edges, and the larger one is deep enough
to reach to the elbows. These collars
are sewed permanently to the neck,
with the standing English pointed col
lar above them, and are attached to
basques of very simple, plain
shape, quite long all around,
and completed by two box
plaits in the middle forms of the back.
The most popular waist for dresses is
the belted and box-plaited shooting
jacket. Green-tinted olive and reseda
Cheviots are in greater favor than the
creamy shades worn last year, and q
melange of colors resulting in green as
the prevailing hue is very stylish

The first and most obvious division of
time is the dayLthe time required for q
revolution of the earth upon its axis
which could not have been very diff
cult matter to ascertain. with sufficient
correctness. But to mark and fix the
time of the suns apparent revolution
through the heavens among the stars
was matter of so great difficulty that
it was not exactly ascertained even at
the time of the reformation of the calen-
dar in 1922; vet 80 uniform is the mo-
ton of the earth in its orbit that the re-
suits of modern experiments render it
next to absolutely certain that the time
of orbital revolution has never varied
even the fraction of second. In the
infancy of astronomy, many ingenious
expedients were adopted to ascertain
this and other matters connected with
the times and motions of the planets and
other heavenly bodies, one of which
NAV be mentioned even at the risk of
tediousness. To ascertain the exact
time of the revolution of the concave of
the heavens, two vessels were placed
over each other, the upper filed with
water, the lower empty. At the mo
ment of the appearing of certain star
above the horizon, the water was per-
mitted to flow from the upper into the
lower vessel, and the flow was continued
until the same star appeared the next
night, when the flow was stopped. The
whole concave of the heavens had then
made one revolution. The water which
had flowed out during this time was
then divided into twelve equal parts,
and smaller vessels were made each to
hold just one of those parts, and on the
following evening they repeated the
operation, filing successfully six of
those vessels, and noting carefully what
stars rose above the horizon during the
time required to fill each of them. Each
group Of stars which rose during the

time of filing one small vessel was
called q sutton or house of the sun.
They. then postponed operations upon
the other half of the heavens for six
months, when they repeated it, and
thus divided the path of the sun through
the whole heavens into twelve divisions,
to most of which they gave the names Of
certain animals; hence the term zodiac,
the propriety of which could have been
seen only by the fertile fancies of the
race. The whole ancient method of
dividing and naming the consultations
is to us utterly absurd, and is really q
hinderance to q knowledge of the stars.

was dull In all branches. Business ON mall
