Everyday Stories of the Workings
and Workers of the Departments.

Mr. George r. Jones. Of the Pension
Bureau. said that some time ago three
friends Of his came from Virginia TO
Washington on q visit and intended TO
remain week in order to take in an the
sights They were in the habit OF taking
their whisky whenever disposed and SO
before starting on their sightseeing tour
one of them said. Vow look here. be
fore We go any further lets have some
kind Of understanding about how many
drinks We are going TO take while We are
out
Said another as he locked up and saw
the massive and imposing monument 20
Washington. Il suggest that we take a
drink every time We see the Monument
Il approve of the suggestion" said the
third. provided We don't drink any often
er than we see the Monument"
About two hours later one of the group
was heard to remark. well I declare
(hic). this is the greatest town (hic)
7 ever heard Of George Washington
must have had a cinch on this place, got
a monument to him IN every street cor
ner.' Every time they had looked in the
direction of the Monument IL crossed
their vision and each time they had taken
a drink.

school to which the writer belongs,
with a view to severe punishment.
Don't Slight the Left Hand.


Because the right hand generally is
the stronger and more skillful we are
likely to keep the other back, so to
speak, and make it less strong and less
skillful than before
BE more impartial with your hands
than YOU are naturally disposed to be.
Trust the left one with few matters
that require strength or skill Perhaps
without too much trouble you can be-
come ambideXtrous--or so that YOU can
use one hand about as we'll as the 9th
er. Garfield did and always held that
it was a great advantage
1t is good idea to give the left hand
plenty to do. There are numerous ways
in which ii can be given chance.
There was once a clerk who spent
little of his spare time in learning to
write with the left hand. He soon aft
er sustained hurt to the right one, so
that he must have been out of work
for some weeks but for his timely pre-
caution.

i1ased Consciences.

A well known English dean recently
had the misfortune to lose his umbrel-
Ia, and he rather suspected that its ap-
preparation by another had not been
altogether accidental. He therefore
used the story to point moral in a
sermon in the cathedral, adding that if
its present possessor would drop it
over the wall of the deanery garden
during that night he would say no
more about 1t. Next morning he re-
paired to the spot and found his own
umbrella and forty-fve others.

A Homemade House.

1t is always nicer, of course, to play
out Of doors than in the house. Some
times, however, in winter Jack Frost
gets too much for us, and we simply
have to run in lest he bite our fingers
and toes.
Still, you can have any amount of
fun in the house if you only go about it
the right way. and without teasing
mamma either. Here is something that
nobody could help enjoying It's
pasteboard house and not u bit hard to
make.
Take a pasteboard box about two
feet long and six or seven inches high
and cut hole in each end of it half an
inch from the bottom the right size for
dows. perhaps two inches square. Here
you have nice room, and if any one
wants roof, why, simply put on the
cover of the box.
But surely it will never do to have an
unfurnished house! Run down stairs
and ask cook for a few raw potatoes
and knife, and then get some tooth
picks or short, pointed sticks of any
kind, and here is all the material need
ed for a fine set of furniture
First cut the potatoes in square
pieces about quarter Of an inch thick,
and these will make the chair seats
Then stick four toothpicks underneath
them, and your chairs have legs
Chairs are not all that can be made
from the potatoes, however. by using
little ingenuity anybody can very
easily cut the vegetables into different
shapes, and thus make any amount Of
other furniture.
For instance, Il long narrow piece,
with the toothpicks underneath, will
serve for a table, or two pieces, one for
back and the other for seat fasten-
ed together with the sticks will make
very nice sofa. You can make side
boards and beds and bureaus and al
most anything you WISH
Then, to further beautify your home,
cut pictures from magazines or news
papers and paste them on the walls.
Paper curtains, pinked at the edges
and pasted to the windows, add very
much to the attractiveness Of your
house, and any doll will be proud of
such homemade one.

Too Many Small Correspondents.

BY Emperor Williams direction or
ders have been read out in the public
schools forbidding boys and girls from
writing letters to the kaiser and en-
press. Up to short time ago the en-
peror and his consort were wont to
give attention to letters written to
them by children and. when practical
bic, to comply with the requests con-
tanned therein. This was published in
the newspapers in order to illustrate
the kind heartedness of the kaiser and
his wife. But this publication has lad
the result of encoura ging thousands
upon thousands of children to address
the imperial couple in the same way
until the matter has degenerated into
q positive nuisance.

MAKING OF SPONGE RUBBER.
Many Ingredients Have Been Tried
I'm the Manufacture of the
Commercial Article.

1t was long ago discovered that rub
Der gum could be mixed with other
substances which would form bubbles
in it as gas does in dough. At first
there seemed to be little need for any
such commodity. Besides, at first, it
was difficult to make a sponge which
would remain pliable for long time
and also be odorless. Some promising
specimens deteriorated rapidly if
kept in stock, but at last method Of
manufacture has been found which
gives good results, says the New York
Tribune.
Among the ingredients which have
been tried at various times are whit
ing, htharge, sulphur, palm oil, leo
rice, molasseS, sawdust, asbestos, bo-
rax, camphor, alum, arsenic, tung-
state of soda, and carbonate or chic
ride of ammonium. The formula for
the better grades of sponge are kept
secret, but a great deal of experiment
is now in progress with a view to imi
tating these products. Rubber sponge
is now used for the bath and for clean
ing windows. 1t is also employed as
filling in horse collars, harness pads,
semisolid tires, artificial feet, balls for
play and other purposes.

known to keep a masculine hat hang

this story in a London publication,
asked if she had policeman lodging
