BELIEVES IN own SERVICE.

Broderi Says It has Become Absolute
ly Necessary in Some Departments.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-Representative
Broderick is now at work OF bill for
the modification of the civil service rules
in favor of old soldiers.
Speaking of civil service Mr.. Broder-
lex said: There is a growing feeling
everywhere that it is the best system in
dealing with appointments. l am con-
vinced myself that it is the proper way
to conduct the business of the govern
ment. On account of the great rush and
scramble every time there is change
of administration or majority the feel
ing is growing stronger right here that
the civil service is the proper way to fill
offices.
"The great numbers of office seekers
sometimes make it impossible for mem
Der TO get enough to eat or to have
enough sleep. l am never troubled
much by people seeking office for Kan
sas is too far away and the few who ask
simply content themselves with writing
and waiting; but the members from the
neghboring states are sometimes tor
mented to death by constituents who
come right down here and stay.
at is said by the friends of Penn
sylvania Congressman who de recently
that the office seekers actually killed
him. He had a great deal of influence
with the administration and was so
bounded by men who wanted places that
he wasn't given chance to eat or sleep.
He fell sick and went home where he
died His friends declared that his
death was directly due to place hunters"

Forgot Ho Had Killed on a Character
Had to Resuscftate Him.
A great master of the art of throwing
off stories by daily installments was
Ponson du Tcrrail. When he was at
the height of his vogue, he kept three
running at the same time in different
papers. His fertile Imagination was
never at loss, but his memory fire.
qucntly was. He was apt to forget to-
day what he did with hero or heroine
yesterday. To help his memory, says a
Paris letter to the Boston Transcript,
he at first noted down briefly in copy
books what happened to his men and
women, but finding that often he could
not read his own writing, he invented a
new system. He procured little leaden
figures on which he gum1ned the names
of his characters as they were born.
Supposing there were three stories rum
ming, there were three sets of figures in
different drawers. When a character
was settled off, the little man or woman
in lead was taken away from it's COM
panions and laid aside.
One day when Ponson du Terrail was
all behind in his work, he set himself
to his task without examining the slain.
His bad memory led him into terrible
blunder. He had forgotten that he had
killed Rocambole-the still famous Ro-
cambole-in the previous feuilleton,
and, to the great surprise of the reader,
he made him talk again as if nothing
out of the common had befallen him.
This resuscitation of Rocambole is one
of the most curious things in the his
tory of the Romans-feuilleton.

Estimating n Horses Height.

The Arabs have two methods of esti-
mating the height to which colt will
grow, the first being to stretch a cord
from the nostril over the cars and down
along the neck and compare the meas
urement with that from the withers to
the feet, and the other method being to
compare the distance between the
knee and the withers with that from the
knee to the coronet. In the first
method it is considered that the colt
will grow as much taller as the first
measurement exceeds that of the sec
ond, and the second method, If the pro-
portion is as two to one, the horse will
grow no taller.
