When the average householder or his cook,
who proceeds TO the Paris markets for do
nestle pTovender is offered embalmed geese,
turkeys with painted legs, and diseased
chickens, instead of healthy and untainted
poultry, it is time for the police to interfere,
in the interest of the public. Recent re-
searches have shown that a considerable trade
is done IN diseased fowl in all the Paris
markets.
The practice of embalming fowl or dressing
up long demised birds so as to make them
look fresh is OF comparatively modern origin,
but that of painting the legs OF turkeys is as
old as the days of Privat Angemout The
first person in the field In this department of
industry was Pere Chapellier who made a
little fortune out of it, He noticed that the
legs of turkeys were brilliantly black for one
day after they had been killed and that then
they became of Il duskY brown color. He
accordingly invented peculiar kind of
varDish, the secret of which he sold with
profit on retiring from business, and with
this he touched up the legs of the birds which
remained unsold for any considerable period
of time. His services were requistioned in
every market, and the effect of his varnish
was so conclusive that it deceived the most
experienced cooks and housekeepers, who
often bought painted turkeys in preference
to birds of the same species which had been
newly killed. 1t would he well if the poultry
purveyors of the present day confined them
selves to this comparatively pious fraud

Remarks Concerning the Late Order on the
civil service.
WASHINGTON CITY. July 3.-Officials in
the executive departments very generally
approve the new classification of the civil
service, The appointing officers, especially,
are grateful for the relief it promises to af-
ford them from the persistency of the con.
gressonal office seeker They argue that
executive officers will henceforth have more
time to attend to their legitimate duties, be-
ing freed from the clamOrs of otfice-seekers,
and that the congressman, no longer har-
assed by his constituents, will have the
chance, so long hoped for, to attend simply
to matters of "A legislative character.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Thompson says the new order is simply to
create a uniform system of classification in
all of the departments. "ln the treasury de-
partment," he says, IAN unequal and IRA
tional system has been employed which is
now abolished. There has been but
little patronage to be bestowed
by us in the service outside of the civil serv-
ice law in our department, relatively speak
ing, but applications have boon received in
large numbers, and this new order of things
will relieve tho department from listening to
that large number of applications. There is
no doubt hut what men who scorned the
very idea Of labor have in years gone by
been appointed TO positions Us messengers
through the Importantly of congressman
The presidents order prohibits everything of
that character, rs well As the appointment of
women on the roll of laborers There are
now men who wore appointed as messengers
doing clerical duty, yet drawing their pay as
messengers only As | uu lerstand the or
der this practice is forbidden also"

what had cheapened and pauperized labor in

entire inhibition of foreign traffic, a constant

an exclusively internal consumption of work
