department perhaps affords the finest
field for women clerks. Probably three
fourths of the women have been found
especially expert as typewriters, and the
correspondence of the interior depart

for the checking clerks to scan the mat

The patent office necessarily has a
great mass of business which is matter
of record, hence there is scarcely room

that one half the labor performed in the

Bernard II. Becker, in his book "Hol~
iday Haunts by Cliffside and River
side says, in describing a tea garden
at Seheveningen, a Dutch pleasure re-
sort:
Here we refreshed ourselves with
mighty glasses Of Bairisch and specialized
on the intense love of tea with which
Dutch women are possessed. Tea in EIol
land is, like almost everything but
water, of excellent quality, and is not
converted into a beverage by the pro-
prietors of tea-gardens. Everybody
makes her own tea at the Hague and
Amsterdam, and even at Scheveningen.
When Mynheer and his family have
taken their seats at one of the green
tables closely packed under the trees
round the orchestra, madame proceeds
to make tea in the national machine
known as 'theestoif." This is very
unlike the English urn and tea
pot, and equally dissimilar from the
Russian samovar. The careful
waiter brings first what appears to be an
iron pail, but is in reality a stove of
primitive construction, bottomed well
with charcoal. On this is set the kettle
of common life, boiling and kept boil
ing by the charcoal underneath. Tea
is brought in a caddy together with a
black carthcnware teapot. Madam pro
ceeds to make tea, first ascertaining that
the water boils and when the first round
is poured out. removes the lid of the
kettle and puts the little black teapot in
its place. There is clearly an under
standing between the coppersmith and
the potter as to the size of teapots and
kettle lids, for the fit seems exact, and
the tea is kept hot, as it needs to be in
the open air, Thus, after the manner of
the nursery rhyme, the fire begins to
boil the kettle, the kettle begins to warm
the pot, the pot begins to make the
tea, and the tea. presumably, begins
to warm its drinkers, for they seem
happy enough in quiet, self -contained
way. They are not listless, these Dutch
drinkers of tea Shade of Van Dunck),
but they cannot be pronounced festive.
Evidently they are contented folk, we'll
off in the worlds goods, and careful of
them. There are no pcals of laughter,
no flashing gestures, no demonStratve
ness of any kind, and yet these Dutch
folk are not sad They arc gentle, yet
not dull" happy, yet not bosterous
perhaps nicely modulated checrfulncss is
the best term by which to indicate their
mental condition. Chatting quietly they
advance to more and more cups of tea,
made fresh and fresh by the lady pre-
siding, far too good a housewife to have
lavished her store of tea on the first
brewing. She appeals to the caddy and
the overlooking kettle, and brews inter
minable tea of excellent strength and
flavor. The old leaves are now kept
stewing till they grow bitter, but are
thrown away to make room for fresh
supply.

The Customs of the Country

Some of the customs of Mexico amused
me, writes correspondent of the New
York Times They always raise he price
when you want anything in large guam
titles. The Mexican Central road wanted
a quantity of ties and the contractors
went to Mexican and contracted 10, 900
from him on trial, The ties were found
to be suitable, and then they ordered
13O,O 600. Then the man doubled the
price. They tried to argue the matter
with him, but he said if they wanted so
much more work of him they must pay
more. Another funny incident, which
was related to me by one OF the parties
concerned in it, was about Judge. His
signature was wanted on certain paper
In the ordinary course of law six months
would have elapsed before he signed the
paper. A great deal of money was in
volved in the matter, so the interested
persons went to the Judge and made him
a proposition.
'If you will sign this paper at once, "
said they, "well give you $1,000, and
not living soul shall ever know it."
"Not living soul2" he asked.
"No, not one"
"Well," answered the Judge, "make
it So, 900, and | shall not care a blank
who knows it"
