Chiefs of Divisions and the Civil Service.
WASHINGTON. Aug 23.-President Ly-
man, of the Civil-service Commission, was
to-day questioned by representative of
the commission with respect to the
proposition to so ammend the clvil-service
rules as to remove chiefs ofldiyision from the
excepted class and place them in the class
subject to competitive examination. He
not recommended to the President
such amendment of the rules
as suggested, though the COM
mission holds that the filling of places
- -. 80
mates would be in the interest of reform.
By the removal of these places from the
excepted class they would the commission
holds. cease to become political prizes, but
legitimate prizes to be won by ability in
the lower grades of the service.

Preventing Oysters from Suicide.

Oysters sent here from the East in q
"fresh' state for local consumption are
generally dead when they get to this city
and are most assurcdly anything but alive
by the time the consumer gets hold of
them. Many contrivances have been in
vented for keeping the bivalves alive
while being shipped across the country,
but the only really successful plan is said
to be that recently patented by A. A.
Freeman, of Philadelphia. BY this plan
an oyster may be taken from the Atlantic
and shipped to this coast and have at
least twenty days of life yet remaining
after his arrival here. His method is
simply to bind the oyster with single
strand of wire, and on this plain con-
trivance Uncle Sam has granted him two
letters patent. The invention merely
keeps the oyster from committing suicide
by opening its mouth and letting in too
great volume OF air. 1t is said that a
syndicate is about to buy up the Pacific
coast for "wired oysters" as they are
called, and that depots are to be cstab-
lished all over the country for the dis
tribution of live bivalves, it being claimed
that they will be in as fresh condition
as when first taken from the salt sea-

mands of nature when the dog reaches
him. 1t has been found that the dog
can generally be relied upon to find some
means to report every case of distress that
he discovers to the relief corps. When
the Frenchmcn crossed the German from
tier, in 1870, the first sign of King Will
Jams army that greeted their eyes was
corps, of big lancers, wearing square caps
with swinging tassels, which had been
sent forward to reconnoitre. So formida-
BILE and imposing was the appearance of
these men that the advance guard of the
French forces were said to have been
thoroughly frightened. But on the whole
the lancers were of doubtful value to the
Germans, as the French were on the watch
for them after that and the mortality in
their ranks became very heavy. According
to the Scientific -Reoie'o the shepherd dogs
are being trained to perform this danger
Gus service for the lancers. 1t is impos-
sible for men, especially if mounted, to
reconnoitre the position of the enemy by
day without attracting attention. The
dogs can be sent forward hundred yards
or SO in advance of the men, and if the
enemy is near they will be sure to find it
out and inform the outposts accordingly.
Moving noiselessly about through the
grass and underbrush or perhaps field
Of grain, they will not be apt 10 attract
attention,

Secret of Health In China.

The Chinese live in houses where the
supply of air is so limited that no Euro
pcan could endure the vitiated atmo-
sphere; yet they are very healthy ma
ton. This is due probably to the fact
that their food is invariably simple and
clean and thoroughly well cooked. Meat,
potatoes and rice arc all boiled together.
When cooked the mixture is put into
small bowls, and as it is eaten with tiny
ahopsticks, it is impossible to try the
mouth or stomach by scalding them with
,quantity of very hot food. Moreover,
they rarely drink water if they can get
tea, either hot OF cold.

On Wednesday of the first week in
March, King Milan of Servia abdicated
the throne in favor of his son, the Crown
Prince Alexander. His resolve was not
definitely known until the very day when
he read the Act of Abdication to tho
Ministers, State officials, officers, and
members of the Diplomatic Body, who
had come to the palace to congratulate
him on the seventh anniversary of his
proclamation as King of Servia. Having
finished reading, the King knclt down
before his son, and in the presence of tho
irch-priest solcmnlv took the oath of
allegiance to the new sovereign, this ex-
ample being followed by the members
Of the Regency, whom he had previously
dominated to take charge of the Govern
nent during the young Kings minority.
King Alexander I. was born OH August
l4th, 1876, and the Regency, which Is
composed of NJ. Jovan Ristitch, General
Protitch and General Belimarkovitch, is
appointed for the five and half years
which must elapse before the King com
pletes his eighteenth year and attains his
majority. The young King is described
Is tall, slim-looking boy, with deep
black eyes and the keen, penetrating look
peculiar to his father, whose nervousness,
iestlessness and naughty bearing he also
nherits. %

Mice Listen to the Music.

Her Won Bulow has won one triumph
In America that has as yet been left UNI
chroniclcd. On Tuesday afternoon when
the crowded audience listened silently to
his wonderful standings, all over the
house, up N the galleries, down in the
orchestra, on either side of the balcony,
mice came running out to hear him play,
as their ancestors came out to hear the
great master, Mozart, long ago. 1t is
said that mice are very fond of music, but
they have never appeared in 50 great
numbers at any musical entertainment be-
tore. Well may the German master adj.
NIT that the musical taste of the Ameri-
can people has become cultured and
elevated since his former visit when even
the mice discriminate between musicians,
choosing the most skillful, and when
women fail to take advantage of their
time-honored privilege Of screaming at n
mouse lest they fail to catch motive OF
the melody or drown II phrase of the
composition.-Ne,0 York San.

An Excursion 10 the Arctic Circlc

The Everest exploring party has left
Winnipeg, Manitoba, for the Arctic cir
Gle. The party consists of five, and is
headed by A. w. Everest, the wealthy
proprietor of large stock yard farm.
They go to Calgary, thence across the
country to Edmonton, and they will de-
cend the Mackenzie River until the Arc
tic Ocean is reached, and at the mouth
of that river they intend to build a YES
sci with which they will try to round
Cape Barrow, a feat that has been rarely
performed. They hope to return through
Behring Strait and Sea and, skirting Al
aska, reach Victoria in about q years
time. They have deposited SIC, 200 with
the Hudson Bay Company, and the COM
pany is placing all its resources at their
disposal. They are also taking an clabo-
rate stock of wares to barter with the
natives. They fear they will meet with
hostile Esquimaux in the vicinity of Cape
Barrow, and are making provisions for
placating them by this means Masking
