Fair Clerks in the Treasury Department

Some of the pretticst women in the
country are in the Treasury Department.
A great many of them are Washing
tonians, but, rs class, they represent
the beauty Of about the whole country.
They are blondes and bruncttes; short
and tall and medium; some plump, some
queenly, some of lythc and willowy
form-they are fairly the types of the
several great cities and about all the States
of the Union. In that one building,
covering four blocks, is to be found more
beauty than "A hunt through many large
cities might discover. A large proper
tioa of the female clerks are young, or at
least on the minus side of the line be-
yond which lies old maidenhood. Office
life is not promotive of longevity, and
many of the elderly women have died off
or reached an age beyond usefulness.
Those who have come into the depart
mcnt within the past four or five years
are mostly young women, who have just
passed through the normal schools and
have entered the Government service
through the civil service examination.
They are a bright lot of young women.
In many cases it is, perhaps, that they
are the pretticst girls of, the family,
which inspires them with an ambition
beyond the drugery of house-work or the
trials of "A schoolmarm and induces them
TO strive for the more agreeable work
and better pay under the civil service.
And this may account for there being
such preponderance of good looks

Henry Clcws, the New York banker,
declares that We are about to enter upon
"an era of great national development, -
and then goes on to say: "Appropos to
this national growth, the Columbus cX-
hibition Of 1892 should be made the most
striking example Of it that has ever been
made. II it is to commemorate American
progress, it should far eclipse any similar
event which the world has ever seen, for
in no country in the world has that
growth been so grand and permanent as
in the United States. The exhibition can
only be made a success by entrusting it
to the care Of men of high ability, enter
prise and determination. Mastery activ-
ity is what is most wanted; and if the
present committee not possess these quail
Ities Mayor Grant should dispose of them
and select a new and better committee.
Public spirit, local and national, must be
awakened to the active support Of tho
enterprise, Immediate gains should be
lost sight of in the belief that the indi-
rect gains will be incalculable. 1t is said
that the Paris Exposition brought $3.50, =
900, 900 foreign money into France, ,stimu-
lating her trade and industries in innumer-
able ways. In fact, the exhibition prob
ably saved France from serious financial
difficulties. If one country can receive
such wonderful benefit from great ex-
hibition, there is no reason why similar
results will not obtain here

A Nice Little Worm.

A little worm, not as large as a baby's
finger, is crawling over the green leaves
of the cotton.patches of the South. He
is fluffy fellow, light and feather
footed. aud yet he makes more fuss in
the world than an army on its way with
bannersl The rasping of its teeth as
they cut the leaf is heard round the
world, and the web it weaves SO noise
lessly comes as a rumbling cloud. To
England its silent trespass means more
than the advance of u Russian army on

Varieties OF Maize.

There are, according to Rev. George
HensIoe, more than one hundred varieties
OF maize, which differ among themselves
more than those of any other cereal.
Some come to maturity in two months,
others require seven. Some are as many
,eet high rs Others are inches. Some
lave kernels eleven times larger than
others. They vary similarly in shape and
ize OF cars, color of the grain and alao in
Aysical and chemical composition.

Be What You Appear To Be.

There is IL great deal said about
arriving at honor anu distinction.
DO not think of arriving at honor but
take honor to start with; ard us for
distinction, Il man, in the long run, is
never distinguished for any thing but
what he really is. So make up your
mind just what you want t. pass for;
and be it; for you will pass for what
you are, not what you try to appear.
Go into the woods and see how
easily you can tell one tree from an
other. You see pine needles on one,
and YOU know that it is pine all the
way through. A pine tree may want
to look like an oak, and try to look
like an oak; but rs it cannot see itself
nobody is cheated. So u rascally fel.
low may want to appear fair and
honest, and think he does appear fair
and honest, rs he cannot see himself.
But in the long run nobody is cheated
for you can read mans character
about as easily as you read the leaves
on trees. IT'S curious to see how the
community labels every man, the
same as preserve jars are labelled
''currant." "quince," etc. Only he
does not know what his label is
Just as likely man thinks his labe
is "quince marmalade" when tbs only
