Presidential Perquisites.

The cost of maintaining the presidency far ex-
ceeds the $50 900 yearly salary of its incumbent.
His private secretary is paid $3.50, his assistant
secretary $3.50, his stenographer $1,000, five
messengers each $1,000, steward 1906, two
doorkeepers who each get 81 2OO four other clerks
at good salaries, one telegraph operator, two
ushers getting $1,000 and sl,4OO, o night usher
getting s., 200, watchman who gets 5000, and a
man to take care of the fires who receives 1854 a
year. In the appropriation bill for the coming
fiscal year there is set down $4,000 for incidental
expenses, such as stationery, carpets, and the
of the presidential stable, Tor repairs
and refurnishing the White House, 800 for fuel,
81 900 for the greenhouse, 900 for gas matches

From the American Angler.
do not know how eels breed. 1 have seen
people who said they had seen the spawn, and
other parties who said they had seen young cells
in the mature cells nearly ready to hatch. Like
yourself, have opened them from day to day at
all seasons of the year, and never have seen any
young cells or spawn. Ny opinion is they hatch
in salt or backish water and 60 up in the streams
when they are small. They can go up any dam
or fall when they are young. They crawl up the
dams and falls, clinging to the rocks under the
sheet of water the same as an angle worm would.
They would go up any fall, no matter how high,
fthey got there before they we're five inches long.
There are plenty of cells in Lake Ontario, but none
above, except they have been transported or got
IN through the canal. They are so large when
they get to Niagara Falls that they cannot get
over; they are SO heavy they fall before they get
to the top.

Lancaster (Pa.) Ne,o Era.
Perhaps the mostserious questions the railroads
will have to meet in the near future is that of sup
plying themselves with some substitute for the
wooden ties now SO generally used. When the
millions annually required and their limited
duration is considered, together with our rapidly
diminishing timber supplies, everyone must see
that at no very distant day something else will
have to be used as a substitute for wood. Glass
and iron have been successfully tried in Europe.
In this country the Reading railroad has been
experimenting successfully with iron ties, and
now the public is informed that company has
been organized and chartered in Pittsburg for the
manufacture of iron railroad ties. There is hard
ly doubt that iron is the material out of which
the railroad ties of the future will be made. 1t is
as good as any other metal for this purpose, and
is much the cheapest. Although more expensive
than wooden ties, the iron ones by their durability
will in the end prove themselves to be actually
cheaper Being virtually indestructible they will
soon pay their extra cost. Even when broken or
partially worn out, the old material can again be
used in making new ones. The present time,
when iron mas reached a price lar DeloW the aver
age rates of other years, seems a most Opportune
period to begin the manufacture and introduction
of these ties. 1t is true, few railroads are in a
condition financially to substitute these higher
priced ties for the cheaper wooden Ones but these
same roads have seen fit to substitute steel rails
for iron ones, notwithstanding the difference in
cost, and have found their advantage in SO doing,
and the same principle will hold good in the
present case 1t will not be many years before
the increasing cost of wooden ties will bring them
more nearly to the level with iron ones, and when
even the excuse of economy will no longer be
deemed valid argument in favor of the former.
There is apparently no escape from the conclusion
that the era of iron railroad ties is at hand. A
revival of the general business of the country will
stimulate the railroad interests, and when that
comes along it will, all probability, work radical
changes in the methods now in vogue, ond among
the rest the iron ties will not be the least mpOr-
tant.

A New Entertainment for Children.

"ttUuetPhtU LtWeos
The little boy whose mother refused to let him
go to the circus, but promised that he might GO
and see his grandmother's grave, ought to live in
Lancaster. The people of that thriving place
have cremation furnace which is rapidly absorb
ing to itself the business of the county in its line
Recently when the body of one of the numerous
customers of this new industrial establishment
was to be burned the children of one section Of
the public schools were given a recess to go out
and witness the ceremony, and now the children
of the other sections are kept in subsection by
frequent promises on the part of their teachers
and the directors that this privilege shall be ex
tended to all the pupils as opportunities present
themselves. 1t is hoped that in this way high
discipline may be reached and maintained and
the beauties of the cremation system be demon
strated.

To miss it.

HARPER'S RAZAR

Harper's Bazaar is the only paper in the world
that combines the choicest literature and the finest
art illustrations with the latest fashions and
methods of household adornment. Its weekly
illustrations and descriptions of the newest Paris
and New York styles, with its useful pattern sheet
supplements and cut patterns, BY enabling ladies
to be their own dressmakers, save many times the
cost of subscription. Its papers cooking, the
management of servants, the housekeeping in its
various details are eminently practical. Much at
tention is given to the interesting topic of social
etiquette, and its illustrations of art needle
are acknowledged to be unequaled. Its literary
merit is of the highest excellence, and the unique
character of its humorous pictures has won for it
the name of the American Punch.
