MERITS ALONE CONSIDERED.
SO Says Mr.. VanderIip While Speak
Ing of Promotions.

Auditor Castle, of the POstoffice De-
partnent, has written letter to some of
The clerks il his department who had been
promoted daring the closing months OF
the last administration. 1t has evidently
been assumed by the sixth auditor that
all tEis was done for political and partisan
reasons, although he qualities his letter
by remarking that where clerk was pro-
rhoted for merit he can hold his job.
Assistant Secretary Vanderlp. of the
Treasury, was asked yesterday how far
this Kind Of Interrogation was to extend
under the Treasury Jurisdiction. He said
that there was nothing at all new in
the letter of Mr.. Castle, which is only III
line with the suggestion of Secretary Gage
made two months ago, and under which
all of tie departments OF the Treasury
rad already been reorganiZed. Mr. Castle
was the last of the auditors to be ap-
pointed, he was absent for a long time, and
when he returned he simply began to do
What had already been done i'll all the
other departments.
Mr. Fanderlip said that in the matter
OF making promotions and reductions the
merits Of the clerks only would be con

Cultivation OF Punctuality.

Some one has said that the only way to

always begin in time to get ready"
and the other is, when there are sew
eral things to be done decide which is
the most important and do that first. "
Perhaps these rules are best explained
by illustration No. l means that if

then you have barely time to dress, u.s.
ing all speed. and as you begin in haste

REBUKlNG SNOBBlSHNESS.

Two Inspiring Examples OF the Patriot.
ism Of Young America.
The spirit of what Is sometimes called
spread eagle Americanism" Is always tc
be rcprehended, but 1t Is pleasant to record
two recent instances, both of which GO.
CURED In Boston private schools, that show
that children Of the present day may be as
truly patriotic as their forerunners of a
century ago.
In the first case, the teacher was an
English woman, who had more than once
aroused the smothered Indignation of her
pupils by what seemed to them insistence
on the British standard Of excellence as
the only one worth regarding
THAT Is not English" she said, one
day, as young girl made slip In pro-
nunciation. why do you not give the
broad ar We are English-we are all
English!'
You may be, Miss -" answered the
girl, in dignifled tones, "but am not. I
am Yankee-Yankee to the back bonep'
The other occurrence took place In
boys school. One of the Instructors was
young man of excellent character and
amiable Intentions, who had apparently
imbibed that contempt for America and
American institutions which is sometimes
noted In people who have made brief
stay abroad, and which he never failed to
express on every possible occasion.
The boys held their peace till the close
OF the school term. Then they presented
their unpatriotic teacher, with a beautiful
edition Of 1.-THE Man Without Country"
