A Washington correspondent writes
to the Baltimore Sun: Wandering
Willies" is the title applied by census
Office clerks to the clerks detailed as
inspectors to see that the other clerks
expend the whole of the six and a hall
hours in which they are engaged In
the Office attending to Government
business and nothing else.
The necessity Of completing a large
part Of the census work before Con.
gress meets has compelled Director
Morrison to employ over 5000 clerks,
and to prevent waste of time clerks in
some Of the divisions have been de.
tailed as inspectors. With 5000 en-
ployes the loss of even fifteen minutes
day for each one. spent in Idle con.
versation, reading newspapers or writ.
ing personal letters. as is customary
in the other departments of the Gov
ernment would mean q loss of 100
hours. or the working time Of lis
clerks. AS the clerks average $500
per annum the monetary loss Of their
services were each one to idle away
fifteen minutes q day would he $103,-
COO year.
|. Needless to say the position Of In.
spector Is thankless one, and does
not tend to elevate the clerk so de-
tailed in the opinion Of his fellow
clerks. 1t Is one. however, of consld-
cradle local influence, as adverse re-
ports carry considerable weight.

A Questionable Pet.

The kinkajou is certainly interesting,
and, when in good humor, very lovable,
but, having enjoyed an intimate acquain-
lance with one, cannot recommend il
as pet for the ordinary mortal. Un-
less it is continually shut up in a cage.
in which case it is useless as a pct the
animal must be let out every day. and
then the trouble begins. When loose -
room it cannot be left to itself like a
dog or cat, as it insists on being PLAYED
with. Its idea of play is to bite and
scratch gently, all the ornaments il can.
1t can be taught to run after you. but
as it can run on the fiat as fast as a
man, and can get downstairs good deal
faster than any one / know, the play is
exhausting, while it generally tries to
bite and scratch you in play when it has
caught you. 1t is passionately fond of
flowers, and scent, and will cause any
amount of destruction in the pursuit Of
them.

ons River Rob, Another.

The modern study of photography
has made US acquainted with many
Instances of struggle for existence
and survival among rivers. The most
careful student Of nature In former
years never dreamed that this great
law applies to large streams separated
from each other by a range of hills.
ard yet recent Investigation shows
that the two longest rivers In England
the Severn and the Thames-are
struggling. one against the other. The
Cotswold Hills lie between the valleys
along which they flow. and explora-
lions lately made show that the Severn
has been eating backward among
these hills. where softer strata un.
derlie them, and has thus succeeded
In diverting to itself some Of the head
waters that formerly flowed into the
Thames. To put it In this way is
like endowtng an inanlmate object
with intelligent purpose. but the more
one studies nature the more evidence
of an actual struggle appears.

The style of Chinese lady's wearing
apparel seldom alters. If she happens
to be wealthy she dresses entirely in
silk, the first garment consisting of a
sort of apron or plain piece of silk tied
round the waist and overlapping be-
hind. Then comes the under-jacket.
then the over-jacket. trousers, and apron.
Finally. if she is going to pay calls, or
for any other reason wishes to appear
particularly charming, she paints her
face with paste made of wet rice -four.
which dries and gives her most death
like appearance. She then removes the
paste from her eyes and lips with a wet
cloth, and. wetting finger, draws it
three times round her throat, and the
three red marks thus left complete the
toilet which is to render her absolutely
irresistible.
A stiff. flat fan and a powder box
with a little mirror in the lid by which
she can see to periodically touch her
face with the powder-puf invariably
accompany the Chinese.

WASHINGTON TEN PERcENTERs,
Government Clerks Who Lend to Their
FelIow.Workcrs.

Il reckon I'll sell my salary this
month" remarked the young census
clerk.
TO whom?" asked his friend.
why, to one of the ten percenters,
of course was the reply.
Dialogues such as this are of frequent
occurrence between Government clerks
in Washington toward the end of the
month '',,-'' clerk sells his salary to
ten percenter, he gives the latter an
|. 0. U. for the entire salary due him
on the following pay day and receives
in exchange 90 per cent. of the amount.
The man who makes the loan retains the
remaining ten per cent. whence his name
of ten percenter.
The ten percenter is said to exist I'M
der one name or another in all of the
great Federal department buildings in
Washington. He is invariably shrewd
Government clerk, who has bit of
money of his own or has saved his salary
until its accumulation represents tidy
little SUM. This capital he is ever ready
to lend in sums of from $40 to 500.
In majority of the Washington Of
fees the laws against usurers are so rig
orously enforced that the ten percenter
is unable to transact business in safety.
as an individual he exists, nevertheless,
under the protecting title of beneficial
society. These fake societies should not
be confused with the mutual beneficiary
organizations, which have been estab-
lished for a number of years in many
of the departments, notably the Govern
ment Printing Office. for the purpose of
aiding sick or disabled members and
their families, and of burying the dead.
The ten percenters' society never in
cludes more than five or six members.
They have their charter and carefully
drawn constitution and bylaws.
Each member contributes a certain
amount of money to the funds of the
concern and the other employees of the
Office are quietly informed how they can
be accommodated with a loan for a
small bonus. On the first of every
month the pool divides its profits. These
organizations are usually short lived, az
they become unpopular when the bust
ness begins to grow large The death
of one fake association is rapidly fol-
lowed by the birth of successor. diff
fering from its predecessor in name
only; so that, the ten percenters are en-
abled to ply their trade without much in
terruption.-Ne1U York Sun.
The Banner-Democrat. [volume] (Lake Providence, East Carroll Parish, La.) 1892-current, 1901-11-09

As the story runs. once there was an
old man, broken by years and wrin-
killed. by worries. who laid him down
to die. Summoning his seven grown
children to his side he delivered feebly
to them with his parting breath this
last message:
MY children. have lived long,
toiled hard and worried much. But az
l look back upon my life / find that
my greatest troubles have been those
that never happened"
In other words. the good man had
spent much Of his time In crossing
bridges that he was never to reach
IN borrowing trouble that be was never
- experience.-New yor.s World.

A WONDERED COFFIN.
Remarkable Reproduction OF AZ Ancient
Sarcophagus.

| Every now and then the world hears
of the reopening, often by accident, OF
some ancient tomb or of the discovery
of some long buried city and of the
various relics, from great sarcophagi, OF
collins, to pottery and other objects OF
daily use or adornment, which are thus
brought to light to become the prizes
of important museums. American mu-
seums must usually be content with re-
| productions of these treasures, so that
| it is the more worthy of note that the
| Boston Museum of Fine Arts has recent
| ly added to its collections a reproduc-
ton of one of these famous originals
Wilhelm one respect, at least-wilf
probably become in time more valuable
than the original itself.
This unique acquisition is copy of
the famous Sidon sarcophagus which
was found some fourteen years ago in
the course of excavations on the site
of Sidon, the capital city of ancient Pho
nicia, situated between Mount Lebanon
and the Mediterranean. 1t is now in
the Turkish museum at Constantinople.
1t was at first supposed to be the very
coffin that Alexander the Great had
brought from Greece for his own burial,
but this is no longer believed, although
there are authentic portraits of the great
conqueror in each of the six carved and
beautifully colored panels with which it
is decorated. Moreover, it represents
the work of the Greeks when their IA
nous sculpture was almost at its best,
and it has helped to prove the modern
theory that the Greek sculptors made
habitual use of color on their statuary.
The color of the Sidon sarcophagus.
however, unless it proves an exception to
all other examples of Greek statuary
that have come down to US, is bound to
fade despite every preeaution-is already
beginning to do so, indeed-while the
color of the American reproduction,
which was painted with the utmost ex-
actness by Mr. Joseph Linden Smith for
the Boston museum by special permits
sion of the sultan, is practically imper-
ishable.
Mr.. Smith made a painting of the two
larger sides of the sarcophagus, each
full size. The first represents a battle
presumably between the Greeks and the
Persians and the second hunting scene
in which Alexander the Great, who, as
has been said, figures in all the decora-
tons of the original, is an easily recog-
nizable figure and in which another i'm
portant character is supposed to be Da-
RUS, the great Persian general. These
two canvases, placed back to back and
some little distance apart. have been
skilfully framed in reproduction of the
carved marble that surrounds the sculp-
tured and painted panels of the original
so that the visitor approaching from
either direction seems to see not paint
ing. but a real part of the. great sarco-
phagus itself. In a few years, as the
freshness of the original fades away, it is
expected that these lifelike copies will
become an important object of study for
psychologists from all over the world.

Tho People at the EXPOSITION.

At Buffalo the people linger outdoors ;
they come in greater crowds in the night
than in the day. They come in family
groups, men, women and children, in
parties-young women, workingmen,
members of bicycle clubs, teachers
every type from all grades of life, from
every part of the country, orderly, pros
porous, intelligent, curious, full of good
nature. They throng the courts, they
fill the Midway; they examine the big
guns; they read the Declaration of In
dependence; they study the map where
on the position of every naval vessel is
shown; they visit the Indian village and
talk with the chiefs; they cheer the
sports in the stadium; they examine the
great locomotives; they look at the
blooded cattle; they study the charts
which show educational progress-noth-
ing is lost on them. They gaze at the
splendid tower of light with chiid-like
appreciation; they listen to the bands;
they take Photographs; they make notes:
they buy souvenirs; they ride camels;
they make new acquaintance. There
was never such sight under heaven as
the people themselves. They gaze at the
crowds, never finding a monotonous
hour. And they seriously study new in
ventions. new processes, strange pro-
ducts. Given splendid spectacle, with
an instructive background, and given a
cheap railroad fare, and such intelligent,
