Ex- President Harrison TELLS the Trials
Of One Of His Frieads.
At the beginning of every admins
tration Washington fills up with per-
sons who desire some Office either In
the states. in the departments or In
the foreign service. says Mr.. Harrison
in the Ladies' Home Journal. Many
Of these persons have limited purse,
and as the days pass on this is ex-
hausted. and Impotence and ill-temper
come in. Many Of these persons are
deserving, and we'll fitted to All the
Offices they desire. But It Is impossible
to find places for all the deserving and
the position Of the president IL full of
trial. The suspense and uncertainty
that the oftice-seeker suffers Is illustrat-
ed by the case of man from my own
state, who thought he had good reason
to expect an appointment from Presl-
dent Garfield. After he had been weeks
in Washington, and had brought to bear
all the influence he could command,
met him one day on the street and
asked him how he was getting along.
His answer was: Very we'll, very we'll.
but there is nothing focal yet" 1t was
wonderfully expressive, and has re-
NAMED in my memory az a type of the
state of uncertainty which accompanies
office-seeking. Nothing focal yet" but
hope that is hard to kill.
There are few Offices at Washington
the salaries of which enable the in
cumbent to save any money, and the
average experience of those holding
places in the departments, l am sure
Is, II they would express It, that private
business offers better returns and gives
better chance for advancement.

LIQUID Fuel for Britain's Fleets.

The British admiralty has taken an

ton of liquid fuel. Success has attend
ed the experimental use of various
forms of liquid fuel in several navies.
notably in the Italian, Russian and
German services. The Italians have
put into all their new ships petroleum
burners on system invented by an
Italian engineer named Cuniberti,
whose system has also been adopted by
the German government with satisfac-
tory results. the fuel used being not
crude petroleum, but petroleum residu-
UNI, the use of which, in connection
with Cuniberti's burners, is said to be
most economical, while it can be burnt
without producing smoke. an obvious
advantage from a naval point of view.
1t is curious that the use of liquid fuel
has come so slowly to the front, consid-
ering that experiments with Cuniberti's
apparatus were carried out at Spezzia
in 1892, and that NJ. Weyl. the well
known French naval expert and edi-
tor of lie Yacht, was enthusiastic in Its
favor four years ago. 1t is anticipated
that before long the use of some form
of petroleum fuel will be general
throughout the navy, as it has the en-
OrmOus advantage of increasing the ra-
dius of action of a war vessel by some

Waters Of Gold and Silver.

The time -honored custom of shower
ing rice upon the departing bride and
groom has it's painful side Many young
couples have begun their honeymoon
in actual physical pain, thanks to the
stony grains which have stung their
eyes and ears and found their way

Worse disasters than this are on rec

reckless showering of these grains and
this, in some cases, has led to the over
turning of the carriage and severe in

occasionally been made to mend this
state of affairs but until lately nothing
has taken the place of rice. The prob

used as a substitute for the offending
rice. For the benefit of such readers

she was one OF the famous group OF
young American beauties whom Ma

during her visit at Compiegne that Mi5s
Jennie Jerome gained the friendship
OF the prince and princess of Wales
who were among her fellow guests
a friendship that greatly aided her So
cial career in England, and in turn in
creased her ability to promote her late
husbands political success.
From COmpiegne she went with her
mother and her two sisters to Cowes,
where she was introduced to Lord Ran
dolph on board of the royal yacht. 1t
was case-On his side. at least-of
