sum, including an appropriation for ad

necessary, if the splendid record Of this
institution is to be maintained. The Der

A Faithful Dog.

Many hundred years ago there lived
at Athens n dog whose faithfulness
has caused him to be mentioned in
history, and in the Grecian city his
story is often repeated.
The dog guarded one of the heather
temples at Athens. One night a thief
stole into this building and carried off
some of the most valuable treasures.
The dog vainly barked his loudest to
brighten the thief and to rouse the
keepers as the man went off with the
Jewels. But the faithful dog did not
mean to lose sight of the rascal, and
all through the night he followed him.
By daybreak the poor animal had be-
come very weary, but still he kept the
robber in sight. The latter tried to
feed him, and as he made friends with
the passersby he took it from them in
stead. Whenever the thief stopped to
rest the dog remained near him, and
soon a report went through the coun-
try of the animals strange behavior.
The keepers of the temple, hearing
the story, went in search Of the dog,
and they found him still at the heels
of the thief at a town called Cronyon.
The robber was arrested. taken back
TO Athens ana there punished. The
judges were SO pleased with the dogs
sagacity and faithfulness that they or
dered him to be fed every day for the
rest of his life at the public expense.

Government Clipping Agency.

In connection with various depart
ments at Washington is a newspaper
clipping bureau. Here are received all
the publications of the country and
their contents carefully scanned,
clipped and the articles sorted into
patches in which the several depart
ments may be interested. Thus all
those having a scientific bearing find
their way to the National Museum,
where they are again sorted and placed
in the hands of the several curatOrs.
By this means if any one is reported to
have dug up a mastodon the account of
it reaches the paleontologist ana in
quiry is made in regard to the reported
discovery One of the things which has
been of special use is the report of the
falling of any meteoric body, in which
the institution is much interested. Only
recently the museum gained valuable
accession by this means. A telegram
from some obscure Southern town told
of the fall of a meteorite there, and this
was brought to the attention of the
curator of meteorites, and he imme-
diately communicated with the post
master, who being a government Off
cial, was bound to aid in the search.

ROUufsh Ravens

The raven of southern Europe is a
bold fellow-not unlike his cousin, the
crow. Some notices of the bird, given
by an English traveller in Corsica, offer
amusing proof of this.
A youth whom 1 employed to carry
my camera could never look on ravens
with any equanimity, for he had suf-
fered much from their thievish i'm
pudence when sent to the bush to
gather firewood.
On one occasion he lost his dinner, q
loaf of bread wrapped in napkin, al
though he was working close to the
spot where he had laid it and had turn
ed his back for only a minute.
But the most objectionable insult he
had ever received happened on a day
when he was out gathering wood. AS
he was STOPPING down to bind a bun
die of fagots a raven suddenly swoop-
ed from behind, lifted the cap from his
head and flew away with it to a lofty
crag, from which she uttered croaks
of triumph.
The cap was subsequently seen lined
with straw and serving for a nest.

met him in Washington, and remem-
bered him; but while feeling that he

'Then there came an evening when,
at a dinner given by Mrs. Piatt, found
myself sitting exactly opposite Mr.,

versation was brilliant and laughter
was light. Turning my glance a mo-
ment from the Southern Senator at my
side, 1 looked full into the fixed, wide
blue eyes of Mr.. Garfield. He was lean
ing forward; one hand tightly clenched
lay on the table. From his strained,
far-away look knew he was trying to
recall our first meeting, and as l gazed
into his eyes the buzz of talk and
laughter turned into a murmur of wind
through tall, leafless trees. l saw q

snow-patched fields. Leaning little
toward him, in a very low but distinct
tone 1 said, Gee! Gee-haw! A flash
like blue lightning snapped into his

earnestly in the drawing-room as to

Fist Fights Preface Death Struggle
No Wife Beating.
GIN spite of these qualities of easily
aroused antagonism, of pride and Spar
tan ideals, the Japanese are an essen
TALLY gentle race-more so than the
Anglo-Saxons. Broils in which one
man hits another are of rare occur
renee; blows are generally the preface
of death struggle. The women may
often suffer from the prevailing ideals
of morality, which are yet much lower
than ours, but there are few wife-beat-
ers, and the home atmosphere is almost
always outwardly peaceful. 1t follows
that little true politeness on the part
of the foreigner goes a long way, and
almost invariably meets with a warm
recognition; you rarely appeal to the
Japanese IN vain. They are as quick
to respond to an act of real kindness as
they are to resent an act which has a
tinge of arrogance. Our government

himself promptly arrested and taken to
court, where he was fined ten yen five

everything possible to avert the acct
dent, and asked why the man made no
attempt to get out of the way. The
policeman then told him that the man
was blind. The soldier looked dazed
for a minute, then felt in his pocket and
brought out a ten-dollar bill. Here,
he said, It's the last I've got, but he can
have it, and he turned it over to the
blind man. The Japanese were deeply
touched, and that same day a delega-
ton of policemen hunted up the soldier

Government Employees.
According to the latest official list,
there are 1916 public functionaries of
various kinds and degrees employed eX-
clusively in the District of Columbia
conducting the numerous departments
and bureaus of the Federal Govern
ment. These are the civilian appointees
in the executive departments and do

al men of Washington, the official per

merely as middlemen, because this
money is largely spent or permanently
invested. In all the departments sal
aries are paid semi-monthly, and if de-
sirable the officeholder can draw sums
oftener, if the money is due to him,
but this is dependent wholly on the
courtesy of the disbursing clerks. 1t is
not singular, then, that there are never
any hard times in Washington. The
money for these vast salary disburse-
ments is not squeezed out of Washing
ton itself, except, perhaps an infinitesi-
NAL proportion Of it toward defraying
the expenses of the local government,
but the great bulk of it comes from else
where, poured into the city's lap by the
nation at large from internal revenue
taxation, custom duties, etc, mainly
levied elsewhere. This is 4 distinct
feature not enjoyed by any other city
in the Union-similar disbursements in
the great municipality of New York,
for instance, are made from the moneys
raised by local taxation. In other
words, it is merely one hand paying
the other; the community as whole is
no richer from the transaction. In
Washington, on the contrary, every
month nearly 100000 of additional
money, never previously available, is
scattered broadcast. so to speak, among
it's citizens. How can there be such
thing as hard times in this town in
