Civil Service Report.

The ninth annual report of the
Civil Service Commission has been
issued. The commissioners urge
that the classified service should be
extended as rapidly as practicable to
cover every position in the public SER
vice to which it can appropriately be
applied. They earnestly desire that
some such a bill as that introduced
in the last Congress, to take fourth
class postmasters out of politics, may
become law. The report continues:
ultimately the system of promo
tions in the departments must come
under the immediate supervision of
the commission in order to secure
the best results. Very serious harm
in our judgment, results from allow
ing chiefs of divisions to be exempted
from examination, and we think they
should be put under the general rule
and be appointed by promotion from
within the service
The report shows a very surpris-
ing growth in the number of en-
ployes compared with the growth of
the population. The percentage of
growth in the public service in ten
years was nearly double that of the
population. The service classified
for examination under civil service
rules have grown even faster in the
same space of time, increasing at the
rate of about 130 per cent, so that
whereas only II per cent of the pub
lie service was removed from party
politics in 1888, about q per cent in
1893 was so removed. The whole
number of places subject to competi-
tive examination under the rules is
now AZ, ,929.

Financial Affairs.

The policy to be pursued by the
Treasury Department regarding the
financial situation was probably de-
| termined at Il consultation held be-
tween Secretary Carlisle and Presi-
pent Cleveland, but all efforts to
learn the result of the conference
thus far have failed
The Star says: Carlisle is under
stood to be opposed to the issuance
of bonds, for the present, at least.
1t is his judgment that it would be
preferable to utilize a portion of the
gold reserve fund until it becomes
apparent that the issuance of bonds
is an absolute necessity.
Among the officials of the Treas
ury Department not the least fear or
apprehension is expressed of any fl
nancial embarrassment growing out
of the gold shipments. They are
satisfied, they say, that the ship
ments are being forced by those who
will be benefited by the issue of
bonds, and as soon as the brokers
and bankers are positive that their
attempt to force the issue of bonds
will be useless, just so soon will the
gold shipments cease. 1t is under
stood that there is some difference of
opinion between President Cleveland
and Carlisle, the President rather
leaning toward the issuance of bonds
should the gold be entirely exported.
1t is thought, however, that if the
present can be tided over the finan-
cial situation will assume a different
aspect.
Secretary Carlisle absolutely de-
clines to outline his future financial
action, preferring TO await the ar
rival of an emergency before indicat-
ing what he will do. He has had an
extended interview with Senator
Sherman, who has been twice Secre-
tary of the Treasury, but with what
result is not known.

UNITED STATES.

The five men who were imprisoned
in the Crystal Ridge colliery at Ha-
zelton, Pa, April II, by the mine
taking fire have been safely taken
out. The burning mine will now be
flooded
While party of soldiers were set
ting up a 14-ton gun as part of the
Government exhibit, at Jackson S
Park, Chicago, the gearing broke.
Private Warwick was crushed to
pulp, and Private Karn fatally hurt.
Secretary Norton April 10 ordered
the dismissal of forty-one assistant
microscopists, one clerk and book
keeper attached to the Bureau of
Animal Industry and assigned to
duty at Chicago. The reason of the
dismissal is the reduced condition of
work
Senator Ransom, chairman of the
Committee on Commerce, has desig-
mated Senators Ransom, Vest, White
of Louisiana, Cullom and Washburne
as subcommittee to go to Califor-
mia and make the proposed investi-
cation looking to the settlement of
the deep-water harbor question,
which has been vexed problem in
the Senate for several years. 1t has
been decided that the start shall be
made from New York on May 3.
The committee expects to be gone

THE SIZE OF THE JERSEY.
1t Is Rather for than Against Her. The
Champion Butter Maker.

The Jersey is handsome COW
fawn-colored coat, creamy ears, clean
white ring around the muzz,e, small
horns, gracefully bent and waving
or incurving as the case may be,
long tail, large pathetic eyes, almost
human in their intelligence, and an
udder that goes to show there is am
pie room for the secretion of the milk
necessary to the daily production of
from one to three pounds of butter.
Her age of usefulness usually be-
gins when she is about Is months or
two years old, and from that time
on she is selfsupporting. Young as
she is, she gives enough milk to pay
for her keep, and if her progeny
prosper she begins thus early in life
to earn more than she spends. But
not until she reaches the age of
seven years does she show her real
powers. 1t is now that we discover
her capacity to convert feed into
butter, and feel tempted to conclude
that, if Systematically and scientif-
cally fed, her worth is incompatible.
Advocates of other breeds usually
offer her size us u prime objection,
but to the intelligent this objection
loses force when they learn that
tests have been made which show
that, though the Jersey is small, she
is heavy feeder, and is able to CON
vert what she does eat into cream.
Aside from this, the fact that she is
small is in her favor in the general
summing-up, as the smaller she is
the less it will require to keep up her
vitality, and leaves SO much more of
what she does eat to be converted
into butter
We all know that a good draft
horse cannot be swift race-horse
This axiom also applies to cows;
good beef COW cannot be fine butter
COW, and vice versa.
Good butter That is what we
claim for the Jersev Experiments
have been made which prove that
the grain, flavor and color of butter
is inherent in the milk before it is
drawn from the COW, and unless this
is of the finest quality, all the after
care in the world cannot produce
first-class butter. 1t is this inherent
quality that the Jersey possesses.

The Customs authorities at Vic
toria are at work on cases involving
attempts to defraud the Government
by getting in goods free, ostensibly
for naval officers. A box came the
other day from Rochester, n. Y,
addressed to the steward of her Mai
estys ship Hyacinthe, and was taken
out to Esquimalt. In the absence of
the vessel it was delivered to the ma
val storekeeper at the station and it
was learned that the box had con
tanned Photographic camera. The
expressman, who got it out of the
customs, delivered the box at we'll
known establishment, where, while
he waited, it was emptied and then
taken by him to Esquimalt for deliv-
cry. The parties were heavily fined
by the Customs Collector and the
steward of the warship will be dealt
with when the vessel returns.

In an exchange are found direct
ions, for converting a featherbed
into mattress and the correspon-
dent writes that as soft, luxurious
couch she has never found it's equal.
If the feather ticks are already
made in box style, all that is neces-
sary is to put in ties, about four in
ches apart The feathers should be
pretty well rounded up in the center
of the tick, where most of the pres
sure will come when in use. For
putting in the ties an upholsterer' s
needle will be required, and No.
cotton doubled after being threaded
into the needle, will make strong
fastenings for the ties Cut circular
pieces of either leather or heavy
cloth and string them so that they
will come next to the tick, to keep
the knotted yarn from pulling
through 1t is so much less work to
make up beds after the feathers are
thus tied down and so little dust to
accumulate. This change will surely
commend itself to fastidious house
keepers as no special harm can come
to feathers if thus confined. One
has only to sever the ties and the
old time feather bed is reproduced
with all its original fuffiness. But
| hardly think a person, after using
feathers in the mattress form, will
care to return to the old time feather
bed, as the feathers used in mattress
form yield all the comforts, minus
the discomforts arising from their
use in the loose form. A homemade
upholsterers needle can be made
from steel braces, found in old para
soils or umbrella frames. AS the eve
is already drilled all that is necessary
is to sharpen the point, and you have
"a needle as good as a ''boughten =
one, at much less expense, providing
the time spent in it's manufacture
was not taken from work hours,
when time is counted as money

Food for Infants.

Will you tell me the value of com
mon crackers, used with milk, as a
food for children? Is the free use of
such diet advisable for children
hen they like it?
Milk is nearly perfect food for
children of all ages, taken under the
proper conditions. Milk varies
greatly in quality, and rich Jersey
milk eaten with crackers which are
shortened with cheap or poor butter
or lard would be too heavy for a
baby stomach, On the other hand
a growing child of from three to ten
years could rarely be harmed by eat
ing all the cracker and milk that he
wanted, if taken at regular intervals.
He might thrive as we'll ON sweet
skim-milk with the crackers-for
that contains all that would feed his
bones and muscle-as upon the milk
richer in cream.
AS he doubtless eats mixed diet,
with more or less fats in other forms,
he would not miss the cream; but on
no account should his diet as whole
be deficient in fat. Cracker and
milk, if digested, is extremely fatten-
ing, and the physique of the child
must decide whether a promotion of
this condition is desirable. One OBJ
lection to this kind of food is that,
being soft, it is often eaten hastily,
and a child should be taught to eat
it as slowly as if it needed much
mastication to reduce it to a consist
ency for swallowing, The effect of
this diet upon the bowels is also to
be considered as a factor in determ-
ming whether it is harmful or the
contrary. During the teething pc
riod constipation is hurtful, and at
all times in childhood it is a condi-
tion to be avoided and regulated by
suitable diet.
White bread and milk is not con-
sidered good for infants under ten
months old, because the bread is de-
ficient in fat, an essential element in
a young child's food; but crackers
have more fat than white bread, al
though it is added in the doubtful
form of lard. While it does not
seem advisable to feed child under
year old freely on crackers, with
its milk later they are not harmful
except under such conditions as spec
flied, and sometimes they are a good
medium whereby a child may be
made to take more milk in it's
dietary Our Grange Homes.

Raising Calves on Skim milk.

My way is to take the calf from
the COW about the third day, and l
have a small calf feeder which | have
put up at the side of the pen, and
put new milk in it, then get the calf
to take the teat in his mouth, and
when once he gets hold he thinks it
is the COW, and there is no more
trouble, nor the biting of fingers
When about one week old, | add
skim milk, so at two weeks old he
will take all skim-milk.
l warm the skim-milk by putting
it in tin pail and setting it in ket-
tie of hot water, which is always on
the stove for dish water | do not
add hot water to the milk for l do
not think the calf needs il.
| have one now nine months old
that l don't think has drunk pail
of water in her life, nor has run out
doors to the amount of one week in
her life, and she is hard to beat.
And have another one four
months old | am bringing up in the
same way, both heifers, and they
get nothing but skimmilk to drink.
| teach them to eat grain of some
kind as soon as they learn to eat hay
by putting some on their nose or in
their mouth, instead of in a trough,
as they soon learn to eat it. When
about three months old they will
learn to drink their milk from a
trough, by putting an amount in
with the meal-New England Far

Not Political Offenders.

The cablegram long expected from
Minister Egan as to the nature of the
crime committed by refugees who
have sought asylum in the United
States legation at Santiago, Chile,
has been received at the State De
partment. Its contents were not
made public, but there is a growing
belief that Minister Egan will not
be sustained in granting the right OF
asylum to the refugees under his
protection on the ground that they
are not political offenders.

A correspondent of The Journal of
Horticulture says that he has raised
seeding potatoes for more than half
a century, and has always found
those having yellow -colored flesh or
skin to be the finest favored. In the
production of new varieties, too
much attention is usually given to
productiveness and showiness, and
too little to flavor and nutritive quail
tiles.
Contentment is the main thing to
live for, but man can never obtain it
when he has vague suspicious that
his present course is full of imperfec-
tions.

THE SILVER BATTLE.

Congress was busy last week dis
cussing the several bills which relate
to the silver question. The Repub-
ilcans are keeping quiet and letting
the battle go on between the two fac
tors among the Democrats. They
manifest the same interest the woman
did in the husband and bear fight.
They are liable to be heard from later.
The debate in the House will not close
for some days yet, while a longer
struggle is very likely to be had in the
senate. 1t looks as though the presi
dent would find his party largely OPP
posed to his proposition as set forth
in the message. Nearly all the Re-
publicans may be counted on the
vote for the repeal measure.

4 LITTLE IMPROVED.

The business situation seems to be
somewhat improved. While many
manufacturing concerns are stopped,
others are starting up, and there
seems to be better feeling in bust
ness circles. The failures the past
week were quite heavy and numerous,
but not worse than the previous week.
The bank failures were less than in
the preceding week. Several fires,
especially the fire in Minneapolis, did
great damage. The gold tide is set
ting in toward this country, and sew
eral millions are arriving each week.
The balance of the trade is with us at
present. Whatever else congress
fails to do, it looks as though they
would give the banks opportunity to
increase their circulation from twenty
to forty million dollars, thing that
will be of much use in this time of
boarded money.

A SAD AFFAIR.

AT a moeUlng nol0 InurSQdy morn
ing, Aug. II, of the directors of the
Caledonia County Publishing COM
pany, publishers of the Daily and
Weekly Republican, Charles L. Wal
ter was removed from the position of
manager, which he has held since the
paper was started in 1885. A few
hours later Walter was arrested by
Sheriff Sulloway on charge of forg-
cry, was brought before Justice Wor-
cester for a hearing, waived examina-
ton and was bound over to the De-
cember term of the County court I'M
der $4,000 bonds. In default of pay
ment he was turned over to the sher
ifs hands.
An investigation has been going on
some time and it seems that investi-
CATION showed that Walter had forged
the name of Col. Truman @. Fletcher,
one of the most prominent men in ST.
Johnsbury, to the amount Of $500.
The Lyndon Savings bank of Lyndon
vile discounted notes over two years
ago of $1,000 and $4,000. Last January
Walter presented note of S1700 to
the Citizens bank of st. Johnsbury.
This was discounted for month and
renewed several times, Walter forg
ing Fletcher's name every month.
Walters Indebtedness is not far from
$4,000, most of which is held by
banks in this community. His rela-
tives and friends were induced to
sign these notes.
Walter is about 80 years old, Of
pleasant and courteous ways, and did
not spend his borrowed money by
fast living or in speculation. He lived
beyond his income and kept borrow
ing to keep up.
Walter procured bail Saturday
morning and is released from the
hands of the sheriff. The arrest and
the trouble occasioned has Frustrated
him and he is severely sick.
1t is with sincere regret that we hear
of the trouble of Charles t. Walter of
ST. Johnsbury. Mr.. Walter is very
pleasant gentleman. His parents
were honorable people and it seems
hard to understand how he could come
to that point where he should commit
forgery. 1t has been known for sew
eral years that he was great borrow
er of money, and the banks have been
afraid of his paper. Those who have
sold the Caledonia County Publishing
Company goods, stock, etc., have had
much trouble in collecting pay, and it
has been felt that the enterprise was
not so managed as to make it profit
able 1t is probable that Mr.. Walter
has concealed the true state of af-
fairs from the company and that
there has been worse condition than
any one suspected. Mr.. Walter's:fall,
if he is guilty of the crime of forgery,
will be a sad one His connections in
his own family and by marriage are
such as to cause immense chagrin and
sorrow. The amount of his indebted
ness is known to be very heavy, and
it is liable to financially ruin several
of his friends who have signed his pa
per. That he should try to bridge
over any crisis in his financial affairs
by forgery is one of those strange
things that men, naturally honest,
sometimes do. 1t is very bad affair.
