WOMEN IN OFFICE.
Tho New England Girl and the Widow
Arc the Ones Who Remain.

Are the Ones Who Remain.
In the offices in Washington the
principal rival Of the widow is the New
England young woman. says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. There
are Massachusetts girls who taught
school twenty and thirty years ago
who got into the departments and are
there yet. In the first place, the New
England girl has been educated to the
idea Of making her own living and to
regard marriage as very improbable.
She is, first of all, scholar, and
scholar Of natural capacity and breadth
of character. She can do anything any
man can do except, possibly, climb a
tree. But she can climb civil service
examination, which Is infinitely Of
more importance to the government
and to herself. She may be widow,
but she gets there, and she stays to q
ripe old age. In fact, there is no rec
ord Of any widow or New England girl
dying or getting married from gov
crnment Office. Any one of them would
scout the idea Of leaving a salary of
$1,000 or 81 200 or 81, 600 or 8, 800 year
to do housework for some man who
can't earn as much himself. So the
New England girl and the widow stick
to q salary and leave romance to cal
low fools.
As the civil service record shows that
about one woman out of every sixth
clerk is called for by bureau officials,
nothing but superior adaptability and
saying powers will account for the
slc ;dy increase OF women in all the de-
parsments Perhaps the permanent
removal Of the subordinate places
un'lar the government from the polit-
ia&i Influences which once controlled
ti.em has done more for every class of
employees who can rely upon their own
iaefiis than anything else has done.

CHANGED HIS ELEO nc PIANO.
A saloonkeeper Finds That Wagner Is
Not Suited for Barroom.


Not Suited for Barroom.
A certain saloon wishing to please
its patrons without the expense of hir-
ing long-haired pianist, bought an
electric piano, says the indianapolis
Sentinel. These pianos are very funny
to watch, for they start up tune and
60 straight ahead and play 1t to the
bitter end without anyone near them.
To person who does not understand
the motive power, the thing appears
uncanny; and the boys prepared to
have lots OF fun. The saloon was full
of patrons when somebody slyly turned
on the current and the piano started.
Out came the solemn, majestic strains
Of "Tannhauser." A man who was
drinking at the bar set down his glass
ard shiyered. Three men playing
cards began to get nervous and, finally,
with cuss word or two, gnye up the
game. Still the piano numbered ont
the heavy chords Of "Tannhauser," and
the audience. not being familiar with
Wagner, got bluer and hluer.
The owner saw that the piano had
made mistake and hastened to assure
his patrons that he had other pieces
and would put anew one in. This he
did, and the men Enlightened up little
while waiting to hear the new piece.
Many expressions Of disgust at hearing
funeral dirge on such an occasion
were hurled at the owner Everyone
had about resumed his original atti-
tude when the piauowas given another
trial. This time ii was "Lohengrin, /"
and while the piel was o little bright
er, it was not festive. One man de-
elared it had been played at his grand
fathers funeral or sisters wedding, he
forgot which. This piece was taken
out and third tried, but it was an ar
rangcment of the national hymns with
variations, and was just as solemn.
The piano was closed for the night and
in the morning the proprietor rushed
to find some more suitable pieces. Now
the piano plays "Thc Bogie Man"
with Danny by Ny Side" and the
washington Post March and the
crowd is delighted. But the piano
came near wreeking the saloon the
first night. II it Ind been Meyerbecr
instead Of Wagaer PERHAPS the name
would have carried the music through.

ORIGIN OF THE AZTRCs,
A Recent Bxploror Thinks They
Game from Scandinavia.
Crest Harm Done by the WaHssn De
structics OF Historic Records Of tho
Raee-scientlsa Have Eos Ins-
proved MntteEaA

II am glad to note that scientists,
and particularly philologists, are q;
inst making good headway in decipher-
ing tho hieroglyphics Of the Aztecs,"
said Or. Wendall Mees, Of Ithaca, n.
", to a writer OF the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. II have just returned from
an extended visit to our sister republic,
during which made the most careful
researches, with results which are high
ly gratifying to me. There remains no
doubt in my mind that the warlike and
highly civilized tribes which Cortes
found in Mexico were Of Scandinavian
origin and very cloeeiy allied TO our
own Saxon forefatherR believe we
shall soon be able to establish this fact
beyond question OF doubt Indica-
ton point to the Scandmavians having
cone over from the great northern
peninsula as early as the fourth CEN
curry B. c.
Speaking of Cortes and the Spanish
conqnerors raises perfect storm OF
pent-up indignation within me every
time hear the name, for the world
will never be able to fully realize the
harm they have done by their wanton
destruction Of the records they found
and the stumbling blocks they have put
in the way Of scientific researchers.
There are not enough Of the hieroglyh-
;c records OF the Aztecs remaining to
ever complete our knowledge Of their
civilization, but, In my opinion. the
worst barriers have been successfully
passed. Many of our scientists have
befogged very plain question concern
ing Mexican hieroglyphics Therenever
was Uniform system Of written or
printed records anywhere. They all
contained the principles Of several dis
tinct systems. This is true OF Egypt as
well as Mexico. A majority Of the
hieroglyphies of nomenclature In
Erypt were based on the rehus, or sym-
phonograph, where the pictures give
the sound, but not the sense. This inn
plies the existence of two languages In
that country, one which gave the
meaning and the other to which the
picture belonged.
"The sama system was used m Mex
loo. The hicoroglyph for Huaseyacac,
pronounced Washyca, Is twig OF the
huase fruit coming out Of the nose, on
yacac, Of human face.
"The meaning, however. Is quite
different Wash or Washu must have
been the name Of the god Of war, and,
as Kal. or Gao, means red, and the
Culwas were red men, Huaseyacac
must have meant the Red God Of War
Tho popularity of the word is that II
presents what we may call the Scandi-
navian dialectic formula Of q name of
great antiquity found in many coun-
tries and not originally belonging to
the red men Of Europe and northern
Africa. In these peoples, who can be
directly traced to the nlingling OF the
three primitive savage races with the
prehistoric white races Of northern Eu-
rope, the Azes, or Asar, we have the

ArbOr Day Proclamation.

Executive Chamber, Pierre, S. ID.
In obedience to custom, |, Charles IL
Sheldon, Governor OF South Dakota, de
hereby appoint Friday, the first day OF
May a. d., 1896, as hrbor Day.
The prospect with which our people
are so greatly cheered furnishes us with
a strong incentive to put forth every
effort in our power to make our homes
attractive We have learned that the
only hinderance to the successful grow
ing Of trees in some Of the past years
has been the absence OF sufficient water
The ground Of our state is now thorough
ly saturated from the melted snow and
the generous rains which have fallen
thus early in the season.
We are therefore encouraged TO hope
for bountitul year and ought to be
stimlated to unusual effort in carrying
out the purpose tor which Arbor Dag
has been appointed. Nothing more en-
courages and develops the nobler sent-
men,s of the human soul than the con
temptation OF the beautiful in nature.
To cultivated eye, a treeess prairie IS
void of attraction. Groves around the
homes of the people change the whole
appearance Of the landscape and furnish
evidence that these homes are he abid-
ing places OF intelligent human beings
with taste for the beautiful.
Let us all, both old and young, vie
with each other in the planting OF trees
and shrubs, in the hope that they will
remain to future generations as evl-
dences of our care, not for ourselves
alone, but for our posterlty. Let adorn-
ments in this way be added to all our
public places that they may, SO far as
lies in our power, be made attractive.
In Testimony Whereof, | have here
unto set my hand and caused the Great
Seal Of the State Of South Dakota to be
affixed at Pierre, the Capital, this 14th
day OF April, a. D. 1896.
CHARLES H. SHELDON
