A story is told of a certain singer which

dience.

work on the part of the commission This
is done by it's representatives, or by per-
sonal correspondence, carried on with past
employers. Skill, care, industry rapidity
and sobriety are the main qualifications
considered in estimating his rating 1t is
singular fact that the percentage of
college men who have tried for high 10
sitlonS urder the classified service and
who have succeeded through examination
il much lower than that of men who
never attended college. Many men who
can neither read nor write have passed
and ohtsined wel-paid positions il GER
ttlIn grades. About thirty of these il:it-
crates were appointed last year-one rs a
diver, apother a calker and sever Il as
blf ok: miths. Experience is the principal
requirement for many of the highest, IS
vel as he lowest positions. A MAI who
woulc lecome an assistant attorney gen
eral for the Interior Department must
have practiced at least five years before
courts engaged in the adjudication of
land laws. The scientist lately appointed
curator of anthropology in the National
Museum was required to have had expert
ence in the care of an anthropo-
logical collection in some scientific mu-
scum and 10 be able to write a suitable
essay on some topic relating to anthropol-
ogy. Designers or engravers must exhibit
samples of their skill; applicants for
railway mail clerkships must be expert
enced in deciphering indistinct chirogra-
ply; and those who desire to become at
tached to the service of our dife-saving
stations along the coast, must prove that
they have been surfmen, or boatmen ac-
customed to handle small craft in salt
water. Strangest of all is the civil SER
vice requirement, which is applied to all
applicants for positions as inspectors OF
boilers in the steamship inspection SER
vice. They must be abe to pass through
an ehiptical opening only 9x15 inches in
diameter. No fat men need apply. The
reason is because a boiler inspector must
often go through openings no larger than
that; and awkward indeed would be his
predicament If struck midway During
the first ten years of it's existence, the
commission examined upward of
10000 applicants for places IN
all branches of the govern
ment service. OF these, about SO per
cent. failed to pass. OF the $500 who
passed the examinations, exactly SO, 757 re-
ceived appoiutments-hardly more than
one-flfth of those who sought. Now that
the examinations are much more rigid
than at first, the percentage is naturally
less. Last year. out of S,409 persons who
took the examination, only 1,20S were sue
cessful. Nowadays many people go IN for
the examinat ton just to see what they
can do-as school girls i'm rural districts
attend the teachers examinations for the
pride and fun of obtaining certificates to
teach, though with no intention of using
them. Certainly the experienced look upon
the remote possibility of a government

Chinese Blocks.
Isaac T. Headland in Ainslee's)

Isaac T. Headland in Ainslee's.O
"One bright spring afternoon Chinese
official and his little boy called at our
home, on Filial Piety Lane, in Pekin.
Father and son were dressed exactly alike
boots of black velvet. trousers of blue
silk, over which hung long garment
also of blue silk, waistcoat of blue bro
cade, and skun-cap of black satin In
every respect, even to the dignity of his
bearing, the child was a yest-pocket
edition of his father.
The boy carried tao of books, which
l recognized as The Fifteen Magic
Blocks. Now, tao is two or more vol
umes of book wrapped in a single
cover. The one that the boy had contain
ed Two volumes. On the inside of the
cover was a depression three inches
square, snugly fitted with the fifteen
blocks. These blocks are made various
ly of lead, wood, or pasteboard.
All the blocks are in pairs, except
one, which is a rhomboid; and all are
exactly proportional, the sides being
either half an inch, an inch and a half,
or two inches in length.
The blocks of Chinese children are not
used as in our kindergarten, simply TO
familiarize the child with geometric fig
ures. The more specific purpose Of the
fifteen magical blocks is to picture scenes
or history and myth that will have a
moral and intellectual effect on the bud
ding BRAIN OF course, Chinese children
build houses, bridges and wagons just as
ours do, but primarily their blocks are
intended for education.
THE first picture my child visitor built
for me that afternoon was a dragon horse.
L asked him to tell me about IT, The
little fellow explained that this was the
dragon-horse of Flu Hsi. Flu Hsi was the
original ancestor of the Chinese people,
and he saw this animal emerge from
the depths of the Meng river. On the
back of the dragon-horse Flu Hsi described
a map containing fifty-fve spots. These
ffty-five spots represented the male and
female principles of nature, and out of
them the ancient sage used to construct
what are known as the Eight Diagrams"

Good work of n Washinstotn Boy I'm

a lieutenant in the volunteer army
commander of his company in the Philip
pines. and only nineteen years old, is the
splendid record of James c. Taylor, OF
this city. Lieutenant Taylor received his
first military training in Il cadet com
pany raised by the Young Mems Chris
tIan Association shortly after the de-
struction of the associations former
home by fire about three years ago Col
Beekman, who commanded the company
recognized Taylors ability and appointed
him a second lieutenant. Taylor served
IN this capacity until the company dis
banded. and during that time proved d
very efficient officer He devoted a good
deal OF mis- time 10 reading tactics. in
which he seemed to delight, although he
was not particularly fond of any other
kind Of study
When the Spanish-American war broke
out Taylor was travelling In the South
with his mother While at Raleigh. N
c. he enlisted in Company NJ, Second
North Carolina Volunteers, and as Re
was under the prescribed age had 10 get
the consent Of his mother before he was
admitted to the service. Before he Lad
been in the company a week he vas
made n corporal, and at Camp Meade,
Pa, he was appointed sergeant From
then on to the time he was mustered
out he served as first sergeant Of his
company
At the close of the war he returned TO
Washington where he stayed with his
friend, Colonel Beekman. for a short
while, hut the army had such a fascina-
ticn for him that he could not remain
away for any length of time, SO when the
Twenty-seventh Volunteer Infantry was
recruited in this city he again enlisted
and was sent to the Philippines. A large
number Of young men from this city en-
tered this regiment. among them CAPTAIN
Graham. of the District National Guard;
James E HowIand. and others By the
time Taylor reached the Philippines he
was again first sergeant Of his company.
and Rowland was appointed TO a serg-
eantcy shortly after their arrival in the
islands. In d copy of q letter received
