Helping the Government.

Now that the civil war is long way
In the past 1t is safe to relate certain
cases of the cutting of red tape which at
the time were winked at and kept as
quiet as possible. Military routine often
left men without what civilians would
regard rs the commonest necessities of
life, and to endure these deprivations
when they were unnecessary was hard
anywhere, and especially so at Washing
ton, where supplies were abundant
enough.
One day in the summer of 1851 a Maine
regiment was encamped in Washington.
The rations were poor, and two soldiers,
privates, resolved to see IL they could
not get something better.
They went, In their uniforms of course,

ing by side door managed to evade the
guardians of the executive mansion. In
one of the passages they met very tall

he bowed to them. but they said moth
ing. Their business was not with him,
but with his cook.
They went on ana FOUND their way TO
the broad kitchen. The cook was there
at work.
Look here" the Maine men said to
him, "we've sworn to support this ere

A Rare Blossom.

A rare flower can be seen in the gar
den north of the fountain in the north
west section of the public square. 1t is
a yucca gloriosa, commonly known as
glorious Adams needle, and it is stated
this is the first time the plant has
bloomed for 80 or 40 years. Fears are
entertained that the blossom may kill
the plant, and an effort will be made to
preserve it. An authority on botanical
subjects says that the yucca can be seen
to best advantage by moonlight while in
bloom.
AS the yucca grows old the lowermost
foliage decays, leaving a thick bare
stalk; in fact, giving the stalk quite an
arborescent character. Its height is ex-
tremely variable; its age before flower
ing also varies from 8 to 10 years, and its
subsequent intervals are quite uncertain.
The flowers are white and bell shaped,
and are in a cluster at the end of long
stalk.-Clevelan Plain Dealer.

Queer Tastes In Eating.

In n popular restaurant the other day
at lunch I took up what supposed was
a saltbox to sprinkle my roast beef and
was startled by the sudden exclamation
Of the waiter, "That's sugar. This led
to conversation in which the waiter
said that in an establishment where he
had been employed an old gentleman
came in regularly at least three times
week and ordered sirloin steak we'll
broiled, upon which he always poured a
liberal portion of New Orleans molasses.
Another waiter said that on one occa-
sion a young man had ordered powdered
sugar and two dozen oysters and that
he had literally sprinkled the sugar on
the oysters before he ate them. A COM
panion accompanied him and watched
the performance, and the waiter said he
believed it was the result of a bet. I
myself recall a lad who attended board
ing school with me, and who invariably
put powdered sugar on his soft boiled
eggs.-New York Press.

A Burglar Who Tried to Take Everything.

A Burglar VINO Tried TO rake Everything.
G. A. Collins, who says that he is a
clerk, but who is said by the police to be
one Of the shrewdest burglars in the
city, is confined in one Of the tanks in
the city prison. He was arrested Wednes-
day night by Detectives Silvey. Cody and
Crockett.
On the 25th of last month, according
to the police, he broke into the fiat Of
Mrs. Knox at 2542 Howard street while
she was absent in the country and for
two days devoted his time to carting
away every movable object in the house.
Nothing seemed to be beneath his notice,
and in the various trips he made in and
out he took away all the silverware,
clothing, bedclothes, etc., that belonged
to Mrs. Knox, and then took down the
curtains and portieres and the pictures
on the walls. The carpets and rugs also
came under his observation, and he took
the choicest.
All these things were disposed Of to a
Fourth street furniture dealer, and Sill

with the furniture man to go and get

Money In Wall Street.

New Workers are noted for being
scramblers after money. But they are
just as remarkable for the risks they
take with it when they get it. A man
went through Wall street to the ferry
one day last week with $4,000 in the
pocket of his overcoat. He had an um.
brella in one hand and cigar between
the fingers Of the other, 1t would not
have required an expert pickpocket TO
relieve him of his wealth. Yesterday a lad
was sent to a banking house to deposit a
certified check for $65, 900. He went along
swinging it in his hand. In front of the
bank he stopped and tried to balance the
check on the end of his nose. No one
would have believed that what he had
was anything but worthless scrap Of
paper.-New York Times.

A DREAM.

Idrcamt tslat over the winter world
The winter winds were signing.
And into the orioles empty nests
The fakes of snow were flying.
The vines along the garden wall
With crystal ice were cleaning.
And in the garden dull and bare
The summer flowers were dreaming.
The snow lay deep over withered grass.
The skies were cold md gray,
And slowly the drcary nighNcame on
To end the weary day
Iwokc. High up in the orchard boughs
A hundred birds were singing,
And In the birch trees pleasant shade
The orioles nests were swinging.
Along the river, tall aud green,
I saw the rushes growing,
And daisy petals white as enow
Among the grasses showing.
The flowers held the sunshine bright
The breczes were nt play.
And swiftly the dreamy night came on
Toend the happy day.

the delicate, perfumed and artistic use

Easily the leader Of the lobby opposi-5
ton to the bill last winter was Mr..

For one month Mr.. Sawyer worked
night and day, organizing the opposition
to the bill. Then his health failed, and
he returned to his home in Minneapolis,
took to his bed and died in a few days.
From that day there was no leadership
connected with the opposition to the
bill. It has been guerrilla warfare, each

The women who apply for places are

that there is no vacancy they usually
say, "The secretary can always make
one more place." Many of them make
most humble and pathetic appeals, say
ing, "For PHYS sake, let me scrub the
floors or do anything by which 1 may
earn my bread" Yet these same indi-
viduals, after securing situations and
occupying them for two or three days,
are pretty sure to demand three things
promotion, leave of absence and light
er work. Women can never be con-

How Ladies of India Wear Bangles.

Glass bangles in India are regarded
as sacred objects. If a glass bangle be
accidentally broken, its pieces must be
gathered together and kissed three
times. Every Hindoo woman wears
these ornaments until her husband dies,
when she breaks them with brick or
stone and substitutes for them gold or
silver ones, a sign in north India that
the wearer is either widow or a less
.estimable woman. The demand for.
glass bangles is never failing. They
are manufactured in abundance in the
northwestern provinces asswell as in the
