ANNUAL CLERK HIRE.
House Decides Each Member May
Draw $1,000 Annually Whether
He Has Clerk or Not

The House of Representatives by
a vote of 1870 to lOs have allowed
themselver another slOO per month
for the entire year, for clerk hire.
It is said most of the congressman
have boys who draw this pay and
in case they are childless their
wives names goes down as clerks
and they get the benefit of the
steal They now draw 5000 year
instead of So, 600 and when the rest
of the stealing is added in the way
of mileage, stationery allowance,
etc. which they do not buy, yet
draw the money for the purpose,
the job is a real fat one and we do
not blame a man who wants to hold
on to congressional place when he
once gets in.

Nest of Clock Springs.

In the Museum of Natural History at Soleure, in Switzerland, there is birds nest made entirely of steel. There are number of clock-making shops at Soleure, and in the yards of these there are often found lying disused or broken springs of clocks. One day clock maker noticed in tree in his yard a birds nest of peculiar appearance. Ex- amining it, he found that pair of wag- tails had built a nest entirely of clock springs. It was more than four inches across, and perfectly comfortable for the birds. After the feathered archi- tects had reared their brood, the nest was taken to the museum, whore it is preserved as a. striking illustration of the skill of birds in turning their sur 1oundings to advantage in building their nests.

When the official had got to the last man of the rear rank of the rear company he stopped suddenly ndgazed earnestly at the rather embarrassed warrior.

He has keen with us for mere than 20 years, and he is our pattern soldier. His arms are mass of good conduct badges, and he is the example of all that is best in the life of a soldier.
