PAYING OUT GOLD.

Government Employees Draw Their
Salaries in the yellow Metal
The Government is paying off many of
its employees in gold. This has only been
done since the war began, and is believed
to signify that the drain on Uncle Sans
vaults for the payment of war debts has
been so great that the gold reserve had
TO be used.
The gold reserve is higher than usual
just at present, and the fact may account
for the action of the Treasury in paying
out gold.
An employe of the War Department re-
ceived as part OF his salary last pay day
four twenty-dollar gold pieces and five
dollar gold pieces This serves only as an
illustration of how the gold reserve IS
being entrenched upon.
The war expenditures of the Govern
ment are stated authoritatively to have
averaged So 600. 900 per day during the past
week. and the revenues 100000 per day.
More than s., ,0O0 600 was sent TO Manila
with the first expedition. and $2,750OOO is
now due the volunteers and regulars as
salary for the month Of May.

In the Quaker city Parks.

(From the Philadelphia Times
The whippoorwill, the swamp-rohin and the cat
bird have returned from their Winter trip south,
and the ear attuned to their different notes can
readily distinguish them now in any of the pub
lie parks. They are all songsters of kind, and
the natural beauty of the city's breathing spots
is rendered additionally attractive and enjoyable
by the music of the birds. The whippoorwill is
only recognizable to the eye by his appearance in
captivity, for he is nocturnal in his habits
and is more frequently heard than SEEN His note
is, however, distinctive. 1t is loud and clear
and very melodious. and one can almost detect
an air of sadness through the cadence, whip
poor-will, from which he gets his name This
is not the limitation of his song however, for
his whistling is varied, and continued with many
changes for quite while. His color is neutral, a
composite of gray, black, white and tawny.
Though fairly large bird--he is from nine to
ten inches in length-his bill is extremely small
while his mouth is wide as it is long. His
flight is noiseeSs, like the OWLS, and he feeds
on beetles and other insects of the air as he
Skins about close to the ground. The swamp
robin, or towhee, is little smaller, with short,
rounded wings; long, rounded tail, and strong,
large feet His color is a variegation of black,
white and chestnut. He is an inhabitant of the
shrubbery, and builds in a hollow log or on the
ground. His cry resembles the mewing of a
cat. hence his name, ttoo-e~e-e, long drawn out.
The cat bird is more familiar to the observer
than the Others He is fearless building close
to habitations and is an intrepid fighter when his
brood is disturbed. He is known as the American
thrush, and belongs to the mocking bird family,
possessing the hereditary graees and initiative
