"Young man." said a noted Illinois
congressman In the house restaurant
at the capitol, when you get chance
to be a consul for the United States
select a smoky city. one where there
are many factory chImneys. Do not
try for the fashionable capitals. Leave
them for the ambassadors. Go where
the air is murky, for there business is
lively. and many q consignment Is sent
TO the United States. This means fees,
and fees mean a good income for the
consul"
In the course OF his chat the con-
gresham made the general statement
that consuls who are making the most
money from fees are the quietest, most
unassumlng. uncomplalning employees
OF the government ''They do not set
up claims FOR a salary instead OF fees"
he said. "Oh. no; but like the wise
boy where the raspberries are thick
they let the world forget. so far as pos
slble, that they are on earth. Let
consular office be- changed from the fee
to the salary system. and II at once
becomes alluring to a yoracious lot OF
aspirants. Some one finds out per-
haps that the political support OF this
particular consul is weak. and then In
fiuence is used, and soon there Is q
change.
zone Of the most profitable consul
ships IS that OF Liverpool. The salary
is $4,000 but the fees bring the emolu-
ments up TO several times that amount,
and generation ago the income Of the
consul at Liverpool was $4,000 year.
This has been reduced 10y abolishing

Claude seurnf Might nave Eern MIS-

Instances OF remarkably thin men
are not uncommon, but Claude Am
broIse Seurat, who was exhibited In
1925, was such an extraordinary per-
sonage that no fewer than 10000 per
sons visited him In few weeks. Seu-
rat was born In 1871 aud was there
fore 2s years Of age when he made his
appearance.
Ashley Cooper. the famous physician,
was among the throng who poured
into the building In which Seurat re-
ceiyed those who were anxious 10 see
him. and In writing Of him he said:
"Seurat Is without doubt the most
mysterious being have encountered.
His face Is that OF an ordinary man,
somewhat emaclated perhaps, but not
remarkably so. His eyes are bright
and his voice Is pleasing. Seen In the
ordinary costume OF the day, he In no

His arms are mere bones, covered
by parchmentlIke skin and muscle, and
flesh he appears TO have none. He Is
therefore scarcely able 10 move bis

without apparent effort, with extreme
difficulty. On measuring him and
weighing him ! found that his chest
measurement was 30ai inches. which
Is fair: that his weight was not more
than 45 pounds, the bones being much
smaller than those OF an ordinary man
OF his stature, who might weigh lo0
pounds. In appearance, indeed. be 50
much resembled a skeleton that 9
shortsighted person might easily mis-
take him for one"
Seurat's food consisted OF two or
three ounces OF bread and meat daily,
and sometimes he took a little wine.
He was remarkably intelligent and
well read and picked up English rapid
ly. On arriving at places where he
was not known he was accustomed 10
walk out In his padded clothes and
did not attract any particular atten.

years he resembled any ordinary boy,
but that he suddenly wasted away.
