Uncle Snm.s Timenieces.

1t costs Uncle Sam thousands of dollars
a year t. have his clocks wound. Every
Monday morning you see men in Wash
ington going about the departments car
ryi4g little ladders, like those used by
the lamplighters. Their business is to
wind and keep in order the clocks in the
departments. Each man has his own
department or a section of the depart
ment to look after the clocks, and this IS
his sole business. In some places men
are employed by the month for this pur-
pose, while in other cases the contract Is
let W the month or year to some enter
prising clock repairer, who sends a Jour
neyman" around to wind the clocks and
see whether they are in order, and then
goes Himself to make such repairs as are
necessary.
The cost Of winding and caring for the
clocks in the departments runs at the rate
of SIS to S100 moth in each depart
'7ent. There are in the Treasury Depart
.lent nearly four hundred clocks Some
Of these are expensive ones, and cost
away up in the hundreds of dollars,
though the average value of departmental
clocks is not mere than perhaps S15 or
$50 apiece. A good many of the clocks

also those in the rooms occupied by the

Uncle Sans Payroll.

An accomplished statistician has Just
completed a series of interesting calcutta
tons showing the total number Of per-
sons employed in all manner of capaci-
ties by the United States Government.
The results of his calculations show that
there are IS, 600 employed in all branches
of the postal service alone and 81, 600
Others filling positions in the legislative,
Judicial and miscellaneous divisions of
the Government, with some 35, 600 pri-
Yates in the army, navy and marine corps
and between u, 600 and Is, 600 men and
boys who gain their livelihood from the
Government for work directly incident to
the increase of the navy and the consuuc-
ton of heavy guns, making grand total
of about 200, 600 persons enrolled in the
glorious service of Uncle Sam. The
number who would like to add them
selves to this vast army, in the experience
of the active politicians, Is probably some
thing like SIX or eight millions more.
The postal employees comprise, in adj
dition to the clerks at the Postoffice De-
partment, all mail contractors, mail mes
sengers, clerks III the railway mail SER
vice, postmasters, with their assistants
and letter carriers. In the military and
naval list proper only the names of the
officers are given, while the privates are
not counted There are %, 900 of them
in the army, $3.50 in the navy and 1000
in the marine corps. The civil service
branch includes, besides the postotfice
people, all employees subordinate to the
executive departments, the officials Of
Congress, all the secondary and independ-
ent bureaus, the Government Printing
Office, the Smithsonian Institution and
National Museum, ali the Indian agencies,
minis, custom houses, all the benevolent
and philanthropici nstitutionsi Washing
ton, and the Government of the District
of Columbia. Taking the statistician's
estimate of the average salary received
by all the Governments servants, not
counting the privates in the army, navy
and marine corps, the annual payroll
aggregates not less than S165, 600, 600.
Assuming that out of the eighty-five
million inhabitants in the United States
at least twenty-six millions are grown-up
persons, men and women, there would
seem to be only one otice-holder in every
circle Of 157 grown ,lrsons, and one
office holder in every {? ection of 1893

Antipodean Cannibals.

The savages of North Queensland, Aus
tralia, are still cannibals. The normal
condition of these savages is inter-tribal
war, and, this, no doubt, was the state
of the earliest society. Every tribe, and
often sub division of the same tribe, are
at feud with one another and all the rest F.;
the stranger is universally regarded as
fair game, and especially as being provi-
dentially offered for the pot. A certain
path to distinction among them is skill
in furnishing human meat, which is not
to be considered a staple, but as a highly
priced luxury. When the black fellows
feel the need of a Delmonico dinner, so
to speak, they send out their crafty man
hunters, and prepare TO dish up the
stranger within their gates. Sometimes
the harmless necessary stranger is sadly
wanting. Then, if they are very sharp
set, they perhaps make an excuse for
killing one of their own women, or a
plump baby or so. Babies, as an ele-
ment of the cuisine, are highly appre-
ciated, their tenderness being recalled
with watering of the mouth and gentle
signs of satisfaction. Carl Lumh0ltz.

The Gigantic Drago Tree.

The most gigantic specimen of the
famous dragon tree OF the Canary Islands
stood, until within the year, and still
stands, for that matter, but dead as a
mummy, near Oratava, on the island OF
Teneriffe, the largest of the group above
mentioned. This monster warty dragon
has been fully described by dozens, yes,
hundreds, of globe-tourists who have
''donen the sights Of the world during
the past fifty years. Some of these writers
have set 1t down as rivaling in age the
pyramids of Egypt and the burial mounds
of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys.
Measurements Of this botanical monster,
taken at the beginning of the fifteenth
century, 400 years before Humbolt's visit,
show that the tree did not perceptib-y in
crease in size during the intervening CEN
turtles.
How long must have been the time re-
quired, if four centuries of vigorous
growth did not add one foot to the giants
circumference, for it to have grown from
a slender withe to titan 40 feet in cir
cumference2
No wonder that the great Humboldt did
not even make provisions for a doubt
when he calmly says: II would con-
slider it at least 10, 900 years old"
To the native Canary Islander the
dragon tree IS as sacred as the DO tree IS
to Ceylonese, and the rites performed in
its immense hollow, which Humboldt says
would comfortable provide shelter for
twenty men, was as mystic if not as
horrible as those performed around the
cannibal tree by the Australian savages.

A Second Edition Of Paris.

Society in Buenos Ayres, Argentine
Republic, is gradually becoming more
and more European. One walking the
streets Just now observes that we have be-
come almost a second edition of Paris.
says a correspondent of the Export and
F'nlaHcier. The fashions Of that gay city
are copied by women and men alike, and
the fact that we have 200, coo French
men in the Republic, in round numbers,
has made a decided impression on the
social customs of the people. A man
landing here from Paris finds himself
perfectly at home, and would hardly
dream that he was so far away from his
native land. The same applies equally
to 4 Frenchwoman She hardly misses
the gay life of the gayest capital of all
the world. The Englishman, too, finds
himself, in a certain measure, among his
own kindred here, but to the American
certain lonely feeling is ever present.

VIZ MONIES ARE rAscrvArNo.

The power of fascination inherent in
women may, moreover, be divided into
two kinds. All of US have seen the old
lady, generally whitehaired, with kindly,
pleasant features, on which time has
set no unfriendly mnrk, who still retains
all her attractiveness. Note how the boys
and girls adore her. They will 90 to her
and confde their sorrows, their hopes,
their ambitions, even when they would
not breathe word to their mothers. The
kindly. loving interest evinced in a lads
affairs by such a one has time and again
nrst Implanted the impulses in his heart
which eventually led him en- to an hon
orable career.
Quickly, almost by stealth, the good
IS done by such, aud the good seed sown
which will ripen in after time into rich
and abundant crop. On the other nand,
we have most of US seen, perhaps in real
life, certainly on the stage, the fasci-
mating adventures who, by her thralline
beaute de diable, enslaves mems souls
and leads them ION the stage) to dare all
for her sake Such is directly opposed to
the sweet old lady in her old-fashioned
chair, and these two form the opposite
poles between which the women who
fascinate vary.
Types differ, and any one YOU may
select has some position between these
two opposites. Take, for instance, q
pretty. and maybe witty woman VINO,
hardly of her own free will, makes every
man fall in love with her to a greater or
less degree. She may be innocent of all
evil intention, but her position on the
scale is not vastly removed from that Of
the melodramatic sorceress. Or, again,
take the instance of the pretty young
matron who, while devoted to home,
husband and children, yet has several in
innate friends of the male persuasion.
But her influence IS all for good. Her
fascination Is exerted in worthy cause
and she has found out a great truth-that
there IS no friendship SO lasting, so true
and so pleasant as one between persons
of opposite sexes, where a true feeling
exists and there is no pretense to love
making. Such a woman, ii she lives
long enough, bids fair to develop into
snowy-haired old lady on whose friend
ship the children will rely.-Broollyn
Eagle.

they have neglected to hide their fine
apparel and jewels. They enter the rooms,
