serious charges he makes, not one
remains unshattered. 1t is true, one
cannot escape the conclusion that
business is conducted under Architect
G iele in a strangely lax and careless
way, and if the Mayors letter has no
other good effect, it may wake that
gentleman up to a sense of what his
duty requires. The committee speaks
about that blunder in the specifca-
tions as being unaccountable; it might
safely have added that it was mex
cusable.
But apart from Mr.. Giele's slipshod
methods, not one item of the Mayors
charges remains whole. His letter is
He charges that the contract is
loosely drawn; he is shown that it is
drawn on the standard and most ap-
proved form, the one on which nine
teen out of twenty building contracts
are prepared, and that all the clauses
required by recent legislation are care
fully added. He says no time limit is
set for finishing Mr.. Condon's work;
he is told this is a simple, plain, un-
qualified misstatement.
His charge about the alteration of
the plans is knocked into a cooked
hat by Mr.. Polaud's letter. His
charge about the excavation is
demolished by the letters from the
other contractors, who understood
the bidding just as Mr.. Condor and
every one else except the Mayor did.
The replies to Colonel Wanser, you
see, are not mere assertions. There is
unanswerable proof for every point.
One conclusive demonstration of the
thoroughness of the refutation of his
Honor's charges is that the Journal
did not print it. That INSCRIPTIONS
paper is ready enough to print
Colonel Wanser's libels; but it has
not the courage or the fairness to give
the other side a chance to be heard.
But the Journals suppressions speak
loudly in q community where its in
famous policy is we'll known.

An Embarrassing Experiences.

The recent laughable experience of a
Secretary of Embassy stationed at Berlin
is worth recording. The young diplomat
had been invited to a costume ball, SO he
decided on going in the fancy attire of an
African General. His uniform consisted
of a pair of enormous epaulettes, u paper
collar Of masher dimensions, a diminutive
forage cap ornamented with a plume. II
crimson sash wound many times around
his waist and loins, with the ends hang
ing down IN front and a cavalry sabre at
Jached TO a broad belt. These adorn-
meuts were over a complete suit of skin
tight black fieshings, and the effect was
certainly startling. Unfortunately for
the ingenious vo1th his card had been
mis- lated. and he walked solemnly into
the hosts drawing-room at a moment
when the guests at an ordinary lat
home" we're assembled. How the ladies'
screamed, covered their eyes with fingers
conveniently arranged for ''peeping." and
how the aslonished General managed TO
get clear of the premises must be left to
the imagination OF the ader.-Ne1Grh

MEN, WOMEN TROUBLE.
How the Sexes Meet and
Conquer the Trials and
Tribu1ations of This
Life.
WOMEN have TOO MUCH Time TO BROOD
A Bachelors Experience With an
Ebony Hued Chaperon-WOrry
in q Girls Life.

Men and women meet the small troubles
of life very differently. In the first place,
a woman oft en- lacks that sense of pro-
portion which is necessary to distinguish
the lesser from the greater ills; to her all
troubles are of the greatest magnitude
and TO be mourned equally. The failure
of IA new dress or of a dinner party are
calamities over which she will sometimes
worry herself into a fever. Most men
would meet similar troubles with a shrug
of the shoulders and then speedily forget
them.
Then, again. a woman does not forget
easily, aud is given TO %brooding; nor Is
she so swift to run away from her troubles
as a man is. Indeed, she cannot be easily
induced to run away from them at all; the
contemplation of them has a fatal fascina-
ton for her. In any small misfortune
which falls equally upon husband and
wife, in nine cases out of ten where the
man resolutely refuses to remember 1t,
and hastens to turn his thoughts into
some other channel, the woman will seem
to take almost a perverSe pleasure III re-
calling it to her mind and rejecting upon
its actual and possible consequences.
Much of this difference in their demeHnor
is, of course, due TO the difference of their
life. A mar can easily run out-of-doors
aud seek distraction, whereas u womau's
lot is to remain at home and think In
deed, we should say that very much WAS
owing to the greater opportunity Uhat II
woman possesses of contemplating her
worries and brooding over them.
Yet it is hardly fair to assume that be-
cause a woman appears to be more
affected by small worries, hat therefore
she has more to bear. There are plenty
of small worries outside those of the
house, which last, we admit, fall mostly
to the woman's snare-lndeed. in The
actual sharing of these little woes, we
should say that the man generally
off the worse, or when the cook is imper.
tinent. for Il chimney smokes, the master
of the house is almost always called on to
lend his aid and sympathy, whereas he
can hardly pom much aid or
sympathy from his wife when his soul is
veXed by the shortcomings of his CLERK
or the STUPIDITY OF his groom.-The
Spectator.

Government Examinations,

The last report of the Civil Service COM
mission shows that the percentage of
m who pass successfully the examin-
atoms for government positions Ia greater
THAN the percentage of the men examined.
Last year there were 2,0S4 examinations.
Tor the 500 per anuum copyis5 place. Out
of this number half the men failed, but
only one woman in six failed, and 1,204 of
the lot were women. For clerkships in
the classified departmental service, where
the salaries range from $1,000 to $1,000,
every fourth woman and every third man
examined tailed to pass. In the higher
technical department women again scored
IL triumph. For the position of pouiolo-
gical clerk four men out of five examined
failed and three women out of our ex-
amined passed. In all 1881 persons were
examined-3.475 men, 1.776 women. OF
the men 1859 passed. and of the women
1,417, the women doing twice as. well as
the men; but LISP men received appoint
ments, and ouly 1913 women were given
places. The women seem to progress
faster than the civil service reform.
