HOW CHAMBERLAIN. WORKS.
Secret of His Power of Getting Through
Vast Business.


A glance al Mr.. Chamberlain's room
in the colonial office will reveal part OF
the secret of his power in getting
through work, says the New Penny
Magazine There is nothing super
fluous. nothing out of place: and every
morning when he comes to business
his desk is absolutely clear. There is
not paper in the room. Mr.. Cham
berlain works in large room, looking
on the great quadrangle rounG "hich
are built the foreign, colonial home
and Indian offices. He often lunches
in his room when too occupied to go TO
his club. the Athenaenum. Sitting at
his large desk at the farther end OF the
room, he has accorded interviews to
men OF all nationalities and all colors.
Mr.. Chamberlain morning at the CO.
lonial office is taken up in dealing Win
a great mass Of papers. In ADDITION he
has to give verbal instructions TO MS
subordinates and to see q large num-
Der of important people. In the after
noon he has to go down to the house
of commons during the session, Where
as a minister ne must attend daily to
answer questions. besides transacting
his general parliamentary business. To
his private room in the house OF COM
mons papers follow him in boxes, la
beled with slips of paper. red, green
or white according to the urgency OF
their contentsS Nor is the days work
ended there. At midnight. when he
goes home, he finds papers at his pri-
vate house; and even when he is away
from London they arrive with regular
ity by post or by special messenger.
In fact, Mr.. Chamberlain cannot escape
them unless he were to disappear alto
gether.

der consideration nearly four hours.
Mr.. Aldrich explained the conference
work on the financial measure. One

A Fisb Thar Emf. Ducks

Among the queer things in India Is
the fish that eats ducks. When one
misses some ducks and is told by the
moorgywalla that a fish swallowed
them, one begins to think there can
really be no limit to the lies the Aryan
brother can tell. But early one morn
ing. soon after the ducks had been let
out and had, as usual. made their way
to the tank, on one side Of which
stands an indigo assistants bungalow,
the old khansama excitedly announced
that the big fish had just caught an
other duck and swallowed 1t and could
not keep down with 1t. The gun was
at once got hold of, and after watching
the antics of the fish trying to keep
down under water he was shot. He
proved to be large boali and had ac-
tually got the entire bird down, with
only the legs just showing In his
mouth.

How the Carving Wa. Done.

when | was a young man." said n
San Francisco artist. "a friend of mine
who returned from China brought
home a lot of pearl shells beautifully
etched or engraved with figures and
landscapes on the inside Of the shells
l did not marvel so much at the en-
craving as | did at the cheapness Of
the shells. I couldn't help thinking
that some of the engravings must have
taken day or two to make, and yet
they sold for little or nothing, my
friend said.
"On my request he made an investi-
cation of the subject and discovered
that the Chinese had used the follow
ing plan: Instead of craving the pic
ture into the hard shell, an operation
that would have been laborious and
slow. the Chinese drew the sketch on a
little scrap Of tea lead and inserted it
into the pearl oyster shell when it was
tender. The inside Of the shell in this
manner got an impression Of the sketch
from the tea lead picture, and as soon
as it was sufficiently well printed the
Chinese would take the lead out and
insert it in another shell. and SO on.
That's how the carved shells came to
be so cheap or at least that was the
explanation that was made to me by
my friend"

4 Defender Of Black Snakes.

The reporter was advised not to kill
a black snake under any circum-
stances. An old, honest, reliable man
explained this:
only few days ago saw a black
racer whizzing around in circle, his
flaming eyes distended. His attention
seemed riveted on something not far
away. | advanced, and, to my aston.
ishment. saw a large rattlesnake coil.
ed up in battle array. The black snake
continued his circuits. getting a little
nearer to its victim each time. After
10 or IL minutes the rattlesnake drop.
ped his head on the ground. Almost
instantaneously the black snake pounc.
ed upon its victim. After securely fas.
tening his teeth in the back of the rat
tlesnake's head he began his deadly
coiling. Within five minutes that rat
tlesnake was dead. So don't kill q
black snake"
The color came In the old gentle.
mans face as he was relating the
above. and he said:
Boys, black snakes are game, but
they won't hurt you. for l had one for
a pet for years. and because my old
woman woke one night and found the
snake in bed she raised an awful fuss
and killed it."-Lebanon (Ky) Enter.

was gray instead of red. and the pro-

new plan, and, procuring barrel OF red
