QUARTER OF A CENT.
An Estimate Expert, Preeminent I'm
HIS Department., Commands
. Big Salary.

But all the high salaries do not go to
managers, says Ainslee's Magazine, in
an article on 'The Big Salaries of New
York" An expert who is preeminent
in his own department sometimes earns
salary that seems fabulous. In indus
tries where profits are calculated in
fractions of cent on each pound OF a
commodity produced, the value of all
expert who is as nearly as possible in
fallible in his calculations can hardly
be estimated. In the case of sugar re-
fining this is particularly true. Even
though Mr.. Havemeyer once said testify
to an Investigating committee that was
questioning him about an increase of
quarter of cent pound on sugar:
who cares for a quarter of a cent 2"
it is fact that one of his highest-sul-
aired employees is his expert chemist, j.
). Bonner, who is reputed to be able to
estimate the value of different methods
OF refining sugar even unto the third
and fourth place of decimals. But the
ability to make such estimates is not
the sole value Of such IN expert. In or
der to command the highest salary he
must be able TO suggest improvements
on existing methods and develop posi-
bilities that would never occur to the
ordinary expert who might be his equal
in making a cumulative analysis.

Fatalities in Modern War.

The ratio Of killed to wounded has
not become greater in modern mill
tary conflicts than in those of former

At Kunersdorf it was 1 to 10; at

the Crimean war it was l to A., and
among theFrench in the Crimean war
it was to 4.8; among the Prussians
at Koniggratz it was 1 to SO; among
the Austrians at Koniggratz it was

was 1 to ga; in our OWE civil war it
was l to 4; in the Spanish-American

READY FOR BATTLE AGAIN.

Those who claim that the battle for
free coinage of silver has been fought
and lost and that it will never be the
leading issue again, do not realize
what must be done yet and how slow

tablish the gold standard. The next

deemable in gold. The Secretary OF

that he will directly redeem the sill.

AN ODD CATCH.
How n MIschievOus MILDLY Fooled an
Obnoxious Sublieu-
tenant.

The followers of Izaak Walton on
board man-of. war are won't to ply the
gentle art with line alone) from over
the ships side during the evening, saws
the Cornhiil y sublieutenant, who was
not particularly liked by his junior
messmates. was one day SO engaged
when midshipIhan, seeing the line de-
pending from the "chains" above.
reached out of one Of the main deck
ports and gave it couple Of violent
tugs, in imitation of fish biting. Tn
the line was hauled with alacrity, but,
of course, with no result.
Once again the Sub" essayed to catch
this big fish that had given him so heavy
bite. This time the middy's plan was
more elaborate, for, getting a compan-
ion to keep the necessary strain upon
the upper portion, he hauled up the
lower part Of the fishing line and at
tached to the hooks an ola shoe, an
empty bottle, a holy stone and sardine
tin. Having carefully lowered these to
the full extent of the line, he gave it a
more powerful pull than ever, and the
expectant fisherman above hauled in as
fast as he could, hand ever hand.
But his language when he discovered
the nature of his "catch" is too much
to ask even an unfortunate compositor
to set up in cold type.

1t is proposed to mako the city a

This would indicate that the
county is remarkably healthy and
woefully barren. Our county is a
prodigy as to health and produc-
zion, but it is neither so healthy
or so barren as the figures indicate.
The fact is the law relating to
births and deaths is almost ignor-
ed. IF the people more fully
realized the benefits to be derived
from this law IN the future it
would perhaps be more generally
observed.

On Monday, Jan. 2, occurred the
biennial change in the personnel Of
county officers. Technically, no
doubt, the terms of office expired
Tuesday noon owing to Monday
being a legal holiday, but as far as
we know all of the officers waived
the privilege of holding over day
and surrendered the keys at high
-. Monday. Probably at no
previous time have so many county
officers entered upon their duties
at the same date. There is one
unfortunate circumstance In con-
nection with these changes to-wit,
every time a new official is Install
ed an old one has to step down
and out. This system was adopt
ed in an early day and seems to
have fastened itself permanently
on our institutions. Mr.. j. B.

of service taking with him the
good wishes of everybody. He
