Washington, Jan. b.-The bill for the
reform of the civil service law, which
has been drawn by special committee
of Republican members of the House
of Representatives, makes several
changes in the present system,th most
important of which is the establish
ment of n tive-ytar tenure of office Tor
those government employees who are
brought within the terms of the bill,
The measure limits the application of
the civil service system to the depart
ments in Washington, and to such 9th
er localities where the total number of
employees exceeds twenty-five
All appointees are commissioned for
five years with power Of removal clear
ly regulated and vested in the appoint
ing power. 1t Is provided, however.
that no removal shall be made for po-
litical or religious causes, and in case
of removal the causes shall be specified
and the papers made n record of the
office.
All persons now in the public service
are to terminate their service five years
from the time that the act takes effect.
The measure recognizes the general eli
gihility of these persons for reappoint-
ment. 1t includes in the civil service
postal clerks and letter-carriers In Of
| fees having over ten employees, exolu-
sive of subordinates. 1t limits the civil
| service regulations to clerks whose
compensation Is from 5000 to 1900 per
year, and includes as clerks copyists,
computers. counters and draughtsmen
1t is pointed out that the essential
idea of the foregoing bill Is to take out
of the civil service all responsible and
| important Offices, limiting IL only to
clerks in Washington and certain large
cities. and in these cases fixing ten
ure of office for five years.
Representative Evans of Kentucky
will introduce the measure in the House
tomorrow. A steering committee to
wait on the committee on rules to se-
cure the fixing of some date for the
consideration of the proposed leglsla-
ton and to ascertain the sense of the
House and the exact support that will
be given 1t, was appointed.

why We Forget Names

Many persons are especially forgetful
with regard to names-as of acquaint-
ances or some familiar object. Dr. Bas-
ilan' In discussing such effects recent.
~ quoted with approval this explana.
ton: The more concrete the idea the
more readily is the word used TO dex-
lgnate it forgotten when the memory
iaiis' We easily represent persons and
things to ourselves without their names
More abstract conceptions, on the con.
trary, are attained only with the aid
OF words, which alone give them their
exact shape in our minds" Hence
VERBS adJectives, pronouns, adyerbs
propositions and conjunctions are more
intimately related to thought than
nouns are, and can be remembered
when nouns, or names, slip from the
mind.-N. Y. Ledger.

VICTORY is UNCERTAIN.
The Many Possibilities That Enter
Into q Contest Between Opposing
Forces on Water.

"A naval battle Is in some respects
like horse race" said Representative
Lacey, OF Iowa. "In a race the horse
that should win loses a shoe or meets
with an accident which intcrferes with
Its progress. So it is with a naval bat
tie, piston breaks at critical time. or
n shot lodges where the shock causes
the magazines to explode, and the ship
that has been counted on TO win the
victory is disabled. The Spanish arma-
da encountered storm at time when
1t seemed inyincible, and it was scat
tered by the storm and its effective
ness destroyed. For this reason fear
battle upon the sea. And some acct
dent may cause the war to be prolonyed.
With the land forces il is different We
will have no trouble in handling the
forces in Havana. When il comes to n
showdown, the majority of the Spanish
volunteers will join the insurgents,
with whom their sympathies lie. They
know the conflict can have but one re-
suit, and self-interest and the safety OF
their families will impel them to join
the insurgents when the proper time
comes"

She Savage and the bird Cape

ley to Africa took with him number OF
bird cages, in which he hoped 10 bring
back some specimens of the rarer bird
of the interior. Owing to the death Of
his carriers, he was obliged to throw
away the bird cages with a number NJ
other articles. These were seized by the
natives in great glee, though they did
not know what 10 do with them: but
they eventually decided that the small
circular cages were a kind of head gear
and, knocking of the bottom. the chiefs
strutted about in them with eyident
pride. One chief, thinking himself
more wise than the others, and having

City from Destruction.

Consul Williams, who was driven from
Manila by the Spanish, in his last re-
port to the state department writes Gu
rlously enough testifying to the value
OF American fire engines. On Febru-
airy occurred the most devastating fire
that has visited Manila in many years,
the total loss being 81 100000 in gold.

city would have been lost had it not
been for the splendid service of this
engine. 1t is conceded also that with
four more such engines the protection
would have been perfect and the loss
avoided. The American engine did more
work than three European machines
together.
