CLERKS INSURANCE.
successful Operation Of Department
al Aid Association in Govern
nent Onices.

"a few years ago." said the secretary
of departmental aid association, re-
ports the Washington Star. lone of the
abuses of departmental Life was the al
most constant passing around of the
hat for collections to aid the widow and
family Of clerk who had died in serv-
ice.
Every often the deceased had been
for many years in the service of the
government and at his death it would
be found that he left scarcely enough
to bury him, and sometimes not that.
And this would be true of clerks in the
higher grades. 1t made a clerk appear
mean to refuse to contribute with the
others, though he may have had but
speaking acquaintance with the de-
ceased. To those on the outside it
would not seem that these contrlbu-
tions would be made sufficiently often
to amount to a drain, but they were,
and have known of three clerks dying
within month in one large division. |
recall the chief clerk of a bureau dying
suddenly, and his widow did not have
enough money to pay for his laying
out. The word was passed around in
the bureau that the chief expected the
clerks to contribute literally, and most
of them handed in from So to SIS, but
there was strong undercurrent of
kicking.
"In all of the apartments the solicit
ing of money for any purpose is strict
" forbidden now. All have their own
benevolent associations, which are en-
couraged by the chiefs. These asso-
Citations have bylaws, constitutions
and officers. Their OBJ ect is to furnish
to the clerks who are members an in
surance which will be Immediately
available on death. In fact, the money
is turned over to the heirs on the same
day that the association is notified of
the death OF the member and this
ready money is often all that the
widow or the heirs have in the world.
The Pension Bureau ASSOCIATION
publishes complete pamphlet report
annually; others render report to the
board of directors only. The annual
receipts from the assessments of the
Pension Bureau association are about
$4,000, and $3.50 is paid on death to the
beneficiary. Last year it lost about
25 members, and $4,000 has been dis
bursed since its formation in 1891. The
assessment is p cents. and the men,
bership is 1860. Clerks do not lose their
membership in these associations if
they retire from their respective de-
partments, voluntarily or involuntar-
lily, as long as they pay their assess
mentS. The assessments range from
% cents to 81.
in the post Office department the as
sessment is so cents, and the amount
paid varies from 5000 to $275, according
to the number of members.
THE treasury department has two
aid associations, one of which pays
$3.50 on the death of member and the
assessment is 81.
The interior departments associa-
ton numbers about 900. and it was or
have since died, each receiving at death
$500, while over $4,000 has been dis
bursed.
The beneficial association of the
war department has recently been re-
organized, having been in existence IA
years. 1t has membership of 43O, the
assessment is 81, the amount paid at
death $3.50, and about $500 has already
been disbursed."

DISCARD THE CORSET.
Philadelphia Girls Follow the Adj
vice of the Chinese Ninister,
WI Ting Fang.

The corset has been relegated to oh.
security by many of the most fashion
able young women of Phila delphia.
Nine. Goches Sarrante, who believes
that women wearing the unhygienic
thing should be punished by law, has
rallied host of followers from Pbila
delphia around her flag.
Led by DR.. Grace Spiegel, of the nor
NAL school, many of the young girls
of Philadelphia are banding together
against this article of feminine wear.
They consider it not mildly unhygien-
ic, but actively harmful. DR.. Spiegels
opinions on the question are:
st is really wicked for women, and
especially growing girls, to force
themselves into such straitjackets.
They need free play of muscles to give
them the best physical and mental
health; they need loose clothing to
allow free play of muscle. No need, as
some think, of a girls Looking untidN

lrnInInE Master Tom.

When dueling was in vogue the ex-
pert use of the pistol formed part
Of every young gentleman's training.
One old and faithful servant adopted
q practical method Of teaching the
young master to shoot. He loaded the
pistol, and told the youth how ia
hold Il. Then old Martin stopped be-
hind q low wall 20 PAGES distant, and
jumping up suddenly, cried: "Now,
Master Tom! One, two, three, fret"
and bodied down again before Mas.
ter Tom had succeeded in hitting
him. After q weeks practice, the
lad had improved so much that he
could put bullet through the serv-
ants hat. "Well done, Master Toni"
cried Martin, cxultantly. "Thry agin.
An if we can get the hand up q little
quicker, maybe We can hit me in the

FoRTHYMe FRENCH COAST.
The Government Planning to Secure
the Island Of Ushant Against .
Hostile Descent.

The French government has for
some time had under consideration the
possibility Of descent upon the island
Of Ushant, of the west coast of
France, near Brest. A recent visit of
Gen. lamont to Ushant had particular
relation to the proposed extension Of
Notifications on that island and posi-
bly, also ON Molene, O small island lying
between Ushant and the mainland. Ac-
companied by his STAFF and some naval
officers, he went to Ushant on q torpedo
gunboat and disembarked ut LAM
paul, where he inspected the defenscs
and military establishments. as well as
the positions selected for the forts to
be built. It appears to be the opinion
that the existing batteries IRE INSULT
cient, and that heavily armed forts of
more modern construction, more judi
ciously situated and possessing some
howitzer guns, with many quick
firers Of smaller caliber, would be ex-
tremely valuable. It is further sug.
gested that the island of Molene should
be fortified as an outlying defense,
since 1t might be seized and utilized an
Q victualing station for the destroyers
Of IN enterprising enemy. The ques-
ton of fortifying this island has been
discussed for some time, and when N.
Lockroy visited Brest as minister of
marine he proceeded there with the
naval project and satisfied himself that
defensive works were urgently called
for. This view appears to be held both
by his successor and by the military au-
thorities, and as Gen. lamont holds the
responsible Office Of vice president of
the superior council Of war, 1t is prob
able that his recommendations will re-
ceive immediate effect. The English
service papers believe that these prep
arations are in consequence of the great
increase Of the British navy.-N. Y.
