An Old Blue Book.

1.-THE Blue Book, as the official register
of government employees is known" says
an old timer, becomes quite an interest
ing book on comparison with the volume
of less than 100 pages issued half CEN
fury ago Why, the mere sight of the Off
cial register for, say, 1916, and the two
large volumes of late years will make an
object lesson to young and old, TO say
nothing of what may be learned by in
spection. Where few hundred officials
were sufficient then for the transaction of
the business of the government, many
thousands now are required. The total
force of some of the present bureaus ex-
coeds by hundreds the grand total of that
period, and some of the departments could
then muster less than half hundred. The
state department at that period included
the home bureau of III employees and the
patent Office Of 81, and with these had but
40 on the rolls. The postofllce department
had 90 employees, the navy department,
including II at the observatory, 50; the
war department., including the pension
office of IL and Indian office of 10, had
113, and the treasury, including n in the
general land Office, 3S7 The home (att-
erward named the interior) department
had not then been organized, and the pat
department. the general land Office under
the treasury, and pension office under the
war department n few years after formed
the nucleus of the interior department. -

BESSlE'S WAY OUT.
A Four-year-old's Solution of n Problem
Presented by a Careful Mother.

Presented by u Careful Mother.
Bob and Bessie are brother and sister.
Bob is 3 and Bessie is years old. They
have played together all their short lives,
and perfect good comradeship had been
established between them.
Every night before going to sleep Bob
rushes into his sisters room for "a pillow
fight or some other high old time. But Of
late their mother has thought that as they
are now beyond their babyhood, it were
wise to teach Bessie some little reserve.
Accordingly the other day she called the
small daug liter to her and said:
Now Bessie, you are growing up to be
a big girl, so you must not let your broth
or see you in your nightgown any more"
Bessie looked wise and dutifully prom
Used.
That night Bob was heard vigorously
pounding at Bessie's door; to his surprise
and Indignation he had found it locked,
and he made SO much noise that it brought
his father and mother up to him. "Let
me in, Bess," he shouted.
II can't let you in, Bobbie," Bessie was
heard explaining, mamma says that
mustn't let you see me in my nightgown,
but wait minute"
Her mother, hearing this conversation,
felt pleased that her lesson had been heed
ed. Then the door opened. Bessie stood
proudly looking at her father and mother
and at Bob. She was receiving In due
state. She was not in her nightgown.
She had settled that difficulty by taking it

Walking Flagstaff.

Sometimes" said the old circus man,
I'VE used TO hist flag on the big giraffe
and make walking flagstaff of him. We
never did this unless there was pretty
fair breeze blowing and In the right direc-
ton and never except In street parades.
Standing, as he did, Is feet high, he made
q pretty altitudinous kind of flagstaff,
and 1t used to please the people nightly
to see the flag flying from him. And you
can set IL down with entire safety that we
always made the most we could Of il when
we did hist the flag.
IF the morning was right, we used 10
put beadstall on him with a small block
attached, and flag halyards rove through
that and carried down and made fast
around one Of his fore legs. 1t was some
thing like the arrangement we had for
listing his medicine up TO him that time
when he had "a stiff neck-in fact, think
u was that that suggested the idea of h list

before we lined up in the street, but we
never bent on the dag till just before we
were ready TO START The big giraffe used
to march at the head of the procession. The
band wagon was up pretty near the head,

for the band to play. The leader of the
band was always standing up in the band

came, and the man started the flag, down
came the leaders baton and the bass
drummer's drumstick with it and every
horn came in on time. AS the Gag scared
up the giraffe's neck to the head you could
hear the calliope coming in, down the limo.
The flag would always float out gayly, and
that was inspiriting, and then away we'd

ST. AUGUSTINE VOLCANO.
interesting Description of n Noun
tain in Cook Inlet

The geological survey has issued A re-
port in which is given an interesting
description If St. Augustine volcano in
Alaska. This volcanic mountain forms
an island in Cook Inlet. 1t was discover
ed and named by Capt. Cook. who de-
scribed it as being of conieai formation
and of considerable height. In 1880. ac-
cording 10 Mr.. Dali, a government geo
logist, ST. Augustine measured $500 fee,

was increased by the last eruption.
The only historical eruption of St. Au-
gustine occurred in the autumn of 1SS3
being contemporaneous with the rise of
Grewingk, or Bogoslof. from Bering Sea
On the morning of October 6. the atmos-
phere being very clear, the people at

island, one and a half miles long and
seventy-tive feet high, arose between St.
Augustine and the mainland. 1t was re-
ported, Immediately after the eruption,
that the mountain had been split from
base to summit in an east to west direc-
ton. This statement is said TO be an eX-
aggeration. Ivan Petroff made drawings
of the mountain from three sides, about
eight months after the eruption. They
represent it substantially as II existed in
1895. and show that only a shoulder of the
mountain had been blown out, exposing
a secondary cone within the remaining
portion of the outer crater rim.
In 1885 the mountain was still emitting
steam in varying quantities, but doubtless
the apparent amount was affected by the
relative humidity OF the atmosphere. Al
a distance of a few miles the steam was
scarcely visible. while at one time ii as
cended above the summit fully twice the
height of the mountain. On ascending
TO the edge of the crater it was foun,
