Trickery and Sharp Practice.

There can no good come from
trickery and sharp practice in poll
tics in these days, aud those who at

helping those in whose interests the
wrongs are perpetrated. People are
something less than ilhbeciles, even
should they be found lacking in
some of the astuteness of the poll
ticians. No one need be told that

Frankfort, Ky, April 17.-In the
circuit court here the amended petit

of indictments has been voted upon,

given rise to an impression that true

What a splendid type of tireless ac-
tivity Is the sun as the psalmist de-
scri6es it "issuing like a bridegroom
from his cham Der and rejoicing like a
strong man to run race" Every man
ought tn rise in the morning refreshed
by slumber and renewed by rest, eager
for the struggle of the day. But how
rarely this is SO. Most people rise still
unrefreshed, aud dreading the strain of
the days labors. The cause of this Is
deficient vitality and behind this lies a
deficient supply of pure, rich blood, and
an inadequate nourishment ofthe body.
There is nothing that will give man
strength and energy, as will DR.

does this by increasing the quantity
and quality of the blood supply. This
nourIshes the nerves, feeds the brain
builds up enfeebled organs, and gives
that sense of strength and power which
makes the struggle of life joy. The

"Golden Medical Discovery" is not due

storing, manufacturing and shipping the various
articles of merchandise which pass through the
department.
Vast storehouses, packing rooms, shipping
offices, lumber sheds and all kinds of supply
magazines are managed by men who occupy
subordinate positions under these officers. and
the work is carried with businesslike pre-
cision, which gives the various sections into
which the department is divided the appearance
" well regulated business concerns run on mod
5rn money and labor saving principles. In the
offices and central departments corps of clerks
is kept busy with the accounts, and the system
OF checking is perfect that inventory of
the stock hand of any article, from undressed
lumber to sheets of notepaper. may be taken
without trouble at any moment.
RECORDS OF EVERYTHING.
BY this same perfect system of bookkeeping it
may be known also at a glance what supplies
had been furnished to any vessel in the service
within any specified time. 1t does not matter If
the item is bolt at cost of four cents

the article may be found accounted for and a
voucher may be found also, showing by whom it
was received, and documents also showing where
they were ade purchased, and by whom
passed up to the Government requirements.
The office of the general storekeeper is in
building No. . which is about two hundred feet
square. On the first floor great stacks of
sheet metal. blocks, tools Of all descriptions,
diving apparatus oilcloth bedding, furniture,
glass, and hundreds of articles which might
come under the head of hardware or housefur-
nishing goods. On the equipment floor there are
coils of cordage. life preservers, bags for coal

more neatness than one could find in any place

goods which are furnished by the naval supply
fund are kept.
'It is hard to think Of anything in the hard
supply line" said of the officers.
that cannot be found here, and we can furnish
right from stock anything from tenpenny nails

the stationery department, from which paper,

FOOD AND CLOTHES FOR THE MEN
In building No 33 which is larger than No. .
one sees another side of the picture-the one
which pertains more directly to the men in the
service. In the basement there are rows upon
rows of barrels of pork, beef mOlasses, vinegar
and pickles, and stacks of cases containing tins
OF biscuit preserved beef, ham and mutton. On
the floor above there are high banks of bags
containing coffee in the bean and pyramids of
boxes of tobacco OF this latter article there are
now stored in the house upward of 300 900

SUPPLIES FOR THE NAVY.
GREAT WAREHOUSES; IN THE BROOKLYN
YARD WHERE SHIPS ARE FITTED OUT.
THE SYSTEM BY WHICH THE PAYMAsTERs CARRY

THE SYSTEM BY WHICH THE PAYMAsTERs CARRY
ON GREAT BUSINESS - EVERYTHING
NEEDED BY SAILORS AND SHIPS.
The true nature of one of the staff departments
of the Navy is known to comparatively few lay
men, and there are not many people who know
that there are paymasters in that arm of the
service who never handle a dollar of Uncle
Sans money except that which comes to them
for services rendered. And still the Pay Depart
ment is one of the most important in the SER
vice, because it embraces not only the duties
which suggested by the name, but those
which are performed in the Army by quarter
master and commissary officers.
Clothing the naval forces and supplying them
with food come within the duties of the depart
ment and in order to gain idea of the i'm
portance of the work which is performed in that
direction and the great amount of detail to be at
tended to one must visit the Bureau of Supplies
and Accounts at the Navy Yard in Brooklyn,
which is the main source of supply for the Navy
Of the United States.
THE MEN WHO MANAGE THE STORES.
At the head of the department is Pay Director
e. Putnam, who ranks as captain and occupies
the place of general storekeeper His assist
ants are Paymasters ]. A Mudd and Henry e.
