The morning times., 1896-04-03

The District commissioners yesterday
approved and returned TO the Senate, With
recommendation for favorable action, the
amendment intended to be proposed by
Senator Elklns TO the District oppropra-
ton bill, which transfers certain employees,
now carried on the per diem roll 10 the
annual list at the rates stated.
The amendment has the sanction Of the
superintendent OF the street and alley
cleaning, in whose department the men
are employed, who says the change is a
just and proper one 1t creates no new
offices, the employees are on the permanent
roll, and the very nature OF their work
requires that they be transferred and
treated as annual workers.
MATTER OF JUSTICE.
ii is also argued, as a matter of justice
TO them, that they be taken from the per
| diem roll and placed on an equal footing
with other employees. The superint endenr
urges favorable consideration OF the meas
ure, and the Commissioners inclose a COPY
OF his letter To Congress with their APP
proval.
.s,o,lon IL, of article 8, OF the police
regulations, made December 10, 1895,
has been amended so as to provide that
sidewalk awnings shall not be more than
eighteen inches from the outer edge of
the curb, except upon sidewalks twenty
SIX feet aud more in width on business
streets and avenues, whcreOn such posts
may he not more than four feet six
inches from the outer edge OF the curb. .
the amendment being In the words in
quotation.
Formal notice was forwarded hy the
Commissioners to MAJOR Moore Yesterday
TO the effect that sidewalk had been
laid in front of the Tavistock Flats. on
Third street northwest, without il permit
aud not accurately to grade.
ORDERED HIS ARREST.
The arrest OF the party who thus vio-
lated the law is ordered, and the police
further instructed to prevent anybody from
fying sidewalk without a permit, and
10 arrest parties at once when detected
in violating the regulation.
The management OF the Tennessee Cen
| tenniai Exposition Company has asked
| President Ross OF the Board of Commits
Sioncrs to appoint five or more citizens
| TO serve as commissioners for the District
! in the promotion of commercial industrial
! and educational exhibits ut the exposition.
The selections will probably he made
| within the coming week. The position OF
| commissioners is, OF course, a purely hon
| orary one.

Spools And Thread.

SpOols are made chiefly Of birch
wood First, the wood i sawed into
sticks f1dr or five feet in length, and
from seven-eighths of an inch to three
inches square, according 70 the size
of the spool desired The sticks are
sawed into short blocks, hole is bored
through each block and they are then
Thoroughly dried in hot air kiln.
The spool machine Is automatic, but
il can not feed itself. The feeding
is usually done 10y boy; he simply
places the blocks in a spout, being
careful to take out such as are knOtty or
in any way defective. One whirl OF
the little block against sharp knives,
shaped by pattern, makes the spool
The spOols polish themselves by be
ing rapidly revOlved in a drum. They
are made into thousands of shapes and
sizes, and are produced at the rate Of
one per second. One factory makes
one hundred thousand gross a day.
Briefly stated, the whole explanation
of how thread IS numbered is a. fol-
lows: When $40 yards of thread weigh
1850 grains, pound of cotton, the
thread manufacturer marks it No. l. If
1850 yards weigh pound it is marked
No. =. For number 80 thread il
would take 80 multiplied by 4s9 to
weigh pound. There are 2,000 kinds
of thread, and each kind goes through
hundreds of different processes before
il is ready for use.

A Pampered Relic.

One morning horse that had its
name and tail done up in curl papers
and was eating oats out of gilded
manger in padded stall, turned
around and whinnied disdainfully at
a bicycle that was leaning against the
wall feeling too pneumatic tired for
expression.
"You are mere drudge" said the
horse. ''You are made to scorch along
dusty roads, you are never fed on any
thing more substantial than wind and
nobody loves you as am loved. See,
| am fed on fresh oats, hay and condi-
ton powders, while you never even
have your bearings oiled until you
squeak, and besides you have wheels"
With that he gave horse-laugh and
went on with his feeding.
But the patience of the bicycle was
punetured and he proceeded To make
some scorching remarks.
"You pampered relic of barbarism,"
he replied, ''you think because you are
fed and cared for that you are of some
importance. | take my master to and
from business. / give him exercise and
cost him nothing for my keep and l
never run away. | am a faithful SER
want, while you are merely curiosity
kept to amuse the children. Your USE
fulness ceased century ago"
At this point the horse gave The BIZ
cyc.e kick that punctured both its
tires aud pied its spokes and sprockets.
Moral - Some people argue like
horses. truth.

How Little Things Count Up.

The boy who laughs at his parents
for advising him to save his pennies
and the youthful clerk who charges his
employers with being niggardly he
cause they spend sleepless nights de
vising methods ofeconomizing, might
learn lesson in the possibilities of ac-
emulation of small things from one
of the big life insurance companies that
has an agency in Pittsburg.
\ policy holder went the other day
to pay his premium. When the cash
ier handed out the receipt the policy
holder discovered his name was not
written on the slip of paper. AT first
he thought the omission was acciden-
tai, but u further examination of the
receipt showed there was no blank for
a name to be filled in.
as this receipt all right?n he asked
the cashier.
"Yes, wha. seems to be wrong with
it,"
my name does not appear on the
receipt" said the young man.
That's so we have made a change
i'm our system since you were here last"
answered the cashier.
''But what is the purpose of it?
And is this style of receipt just as
binding rs one on which my name APP
pears?n
The receipt is all right. The COM
pany keeps the record of it by the poll
cy number. The reason that the change
was made is that the company saves
considerable money by emitting the
name, and insurance companies must
practice every economy possible these
days"
Cant be much economy in omit
ting name from receipt protested
the customer.
"No, not emitting the name from a
single receipt, but when it is left off
| few hundred thousand in the course of
year it amounts to considerable. Our
company has dispensed with the ser
vices of one clerk since it changed the
style of its receipts. Writing in the
names on the receipts was equal to the
work of one man. Omitting the name
does not vitiate the document, and the
stockholders and policy holders in our
company get the benefit of the eeono-
N.Y."
Phew ~ calculated the young man.
He was one who had been prone to de-
clare it was foolish to economize in lit
tie things.

The Kind of a Flock He Had.

1t l. related that in small town not
far distant, the preacher in the only
church the place possessed was very
poorly salaried, and TO make matters
worse, he couldn't get the miserable
Stipend promised him.
HE became very weary of trying,
sith his family, to exist upon thin air
and faith, and on a recent Sabbath, at
the close of his discourse, announced
his intention of quitting the ministry
and trying something that would afford
him living.
"And at the last day." said he, ''the
Lord will say to st. Peter, Where is
your flock ?'' and St. Peter will answer,
Here, Lord and so all the shepherds
will answer; but when He asks me,
Where are your sheep" how will / feel

Napoleon's Last Official Act

Next day Napoleon performed his
last official act, which was one of great
courage, both physical and moral. The
national guard in Paris had been recog-
nized, but its officers had never been
thoroughly loyal 10 the Empire, many
of them being rOyalists, and some radi-
cal republicans. Their disaffectiOn
had been heightened by recent events,
but they were nevertheless summoned
to the Tdilleries; the risk was doubled
by the fact that they came armed
Drawn up i'm the great chamber
known as that of the marshals, they
stood expectant, the great doors were
thrown open, aud there entered the
Emperor, accompanied only by his
eonsort and their child in the arms of
his gOverness, Mime. de MOntesquieu.
Napoleon announced simply that he
was about to put himself at the head OF
his army, hoping, by the aid of God
and the valor of his troops, to drive
the enemy beyond the frontiers. There

hand that of the Empress and leading

of Rome to the courage of the national
guard" still silence. After moment

the officers started forward in mass
and shook the very walls with their
cry, "Long live the Emperor ~ Many
shed tears as they Withdrew in respect
ful silence, and that night, ON the eve
of his departure, the Emperor received
a numerously signed address from the
very men whose loyalty he had hither-
to had just reason to suspeet.-"Life Tf
