tie Is Reconsideration of Mis-
directed Envelopes.
Especial Washington letter.

The ideal civil service law has not
yet been framed. The existing law is
a step in the right direction, but it is
only little bit of lettering step.
One of the principal benefits which
might be derived from suitable and
stable civil service law would be the
development of individual interest in
the work assigned to each employe, and
the development of talent and inventive
genius for the general welfare. Under
existing law there is no stability, no
permanency of tenure for the subor-
dinates in the executive offio~s of the
government. Dismissals, ander the
ideal civil service law of the future,
will be only for cause, and for causes
solely administrative and non-partisan.
Government clerks are not safe in their
positions, under the present law, and
they may be sent out into the frigid
world at moments notice, merely
upon the whim of some superior officer
who yields a little brief authority.

EXPERIENCES OF A DIVER.
Some of the Dangers of His Submarin
Trips.


Trips.
Pictures show the diver walking along
on the bottom of the sea as he would
do on land: it is false representation.
One can not get along without bending
his whole body at an angle of forty five
degrees in the direction he wishes to go,
and then pushing along on tip-toe in an
attitude that would excite laughter in
beholder, assisting himself with his
arms as in swimming If the bottom lie
uneven, he will do better to creep on
his hands and knees On the other hand,
one can do things in the water that are
impossible in the air-let himself drop,
for example. from the rocks; the water
will break the fall. Or he can climb
cliffs by letting little air collect in his
coat and planting the ends of his fingers
in the cracks and rough places. On
broken ground he can pass with kind
of flying leap from one rock to another.
But all this supposes degree of ia
miliarity which is not acquired for a
considerable time. In my first efforts
cut my hands terribly, and was not able
to use my pen or pencil for several days.
tried a coat made with the sleeves
ending in lnda-rubber gloves, but they
prevented my picking up small things,
and moreover did not last long. | then
returned to the common sleeves, closed
at the wrist, and used knit wooden
gloves.
Another difficulty is occasioned by the
glasses of the caSque becoming covered
with the vapor that results from the
condensation of the moisture of the
breath The colder the water, the
thicker the vapor is. No means as vet
tried to get rid of it have resulted salts
factorily. but have solved the problem
by rubbing the glasses with glycerine.
The mist then conaenses in uniform
nap which does not obscure the glass
When all these difficulties have been
surmounted, there is still one that
persistS-that is, the effect and the
danger of compression and decompreS.
sion. That imposes limit to the depth
a man can reach with the diving-dress.
Divers are liable to,two kinds of acct
dents. One is prostration on coming
to the surface, for which restorative
measures often have to be applied; and
which, according to Paul Bert, results
from the effects of the change of
medium on the spinal marrow, 1t is
rarely mortal, but may eventually pro-
duce paralysis of the lower limbs.
The other accident, graver but very
rare, consists of a gaseous embolism of
the capillaries of the lungs, produced
by the Disagreement of bubbles of air
in the blood, which has dissolved too
much of it while under high pressure.
The action is like that of Settler water
at the moment of pressing on the pedal
of the siphon. Under its effects, when
it occurs, the diver dies as soon as he
reaches the surface.-Popular Science
Monthly.

to go right to our rooms in the hotel

up on long stage ride.
THE tavern-keeper was dealing faro
in the office, and we had to wait until
the crowd went broke before he could
even look at US. About 9 o'clock he
got all the money and gave us our
rooms. He took us out in the street
and, pointing to lighted room in the
top corner of the hotel, said our rooms
were next to that. We had to enter the
house and find our beds. The landlord
wouldn't walk up stairs with us. and
his clerk was always acting as referee

the night sent down stairs three or
four times for pitcher of water,
but could get none. Presently heavy
pair of boots were heard on the stairs,
and thought the hotel man s conscience

the door and the miner who commented
on our eating with fork pushed in his

A despotic government has its advan-
tages, and among them is the easy col
lection of a debt, provided the ruler is
friendly to the creditor. Ahmed Nefyk
Pasha, Turkish statesman. was once
governor of Broussa, and this story is
told of his paternal rule: A rich man
had Judgment pronounced against him
in favor of Il poor man. The latter,
owing to the brides of the rich man,
could not obtain execution, and COM
planned to Ahmed Nefyk. After hear
lug the case, Ahmed saw the debtor
riding up to the konall upon beautiful
Arab horse. He ordered the creditor to
sit down, called messenger, and whis-
pered to him. The de btor entered the
room, and was surprised at the eXcep-
tional cordiality of the pasha, who in
vited him to sit down, to take coffee,
and to converse. Presently, when he
rose to leave, the pasha pressed him to
remain, and kept him more than an
hour, until, indeed, messenger entered
the room and placed a small bag on the
table before Ahmed. When the debtor
next rose, Ahmed took the bag from the
table and gave it to him, stating, This
is yours. You owed so much to this
poor man, l have sold your horse, paid
him. and this is the balance belonging
to you."-Youth's Companion.
