 Many of them are in their offices ten or eleven hours a day, making drains upon their vitality which money can never compensate or restore. Several nave ai- ready succumbed to the strain. In nearly all the departments more hours of labor are exacted than in the departments a' Washington. II self-interest alone were considered, and mere desire for personal comfort, there Is scarcely man here who is not playing losing game. In the departments at Washington 1t is the prac- ticc to pay civil service employees slight ly higher salaries than could be secured in commercial positions: this in order to secure the retention of trained and ef1l- cient employees.
 Salaries Too Small.
 In these islands. where business returns are so large and the prospects of in1- mense gains so alluring. there is triple necessity for such policy Stenogra- phers receiving s1, 200 and $1,400 per year in civil positions are constantly being off, fered $1,6O0 and $1.scO by commercial houses. and 1t is only high sense Of honor on the part of employees which pre- vents the depopulation of many ofces' Instead of being too large the salaries paid are too small. as the future will demonstrate if it is hoped to continue the present high class of service and keep good men in office No doubt persons could be secured to take them for less. but it will be an unhappy day for our country and for the Filipinos when the hangers-on of political favorites are al lowed to prey upon these people, The best Is the cheapest, and thus far neither politics nor pull has entered into the se- lection of men for office in the islands Ability. energy and ? conscientious re- gard for duty, coupled with special nt- ness for the work, have controlled ap- pofl;ments. The task set Is not an easy enc, and it would be better grace on the mart of our visitors to seek to hold up the hsnds of the government in it's difficult wtr rk than to strike them down.

she became a blessing and an inspir-
alton to every friend and acquaint-
ance. The young gravitated to her
room for happy chats for she and the
hill loved sunshine; the old came
there for peaceful talks, for she and
the hill loved twilight. Gradually a
broader culture spread through her
circle, for one lived ones highest
when in the presence of these two.

toward the purer light of Heaven.
Once she grew very ill, and Il
seemed that she must leave, but as
she lay weak and powerless little
neighbours boy came. He pleaded
and was admitted, and, standing tim
idly beside the bed, he laid bunch OF
trailing arbutus upon the pillow as he
said, 81 found it on the hill that you

message to her and she knew that
her work was yet unfinished.
Then. when she grew stronger
again, with the pearlish tintings of
those dainty blossoms still a part of
her soul, with the perfume like the
faintest sigh of an angel, still upon
her, she wrote her first nature poem,
not for fame this time, but from the
necessity of love- The mother found
it and sent it away and when it met
the eyes of a public they caught the
refreshing, pungenG air of truth to
nature and they caught the delicate
breathing of beauty exquisite.
Happy work then followed, and
when fame came soon thereafter 1t
was sweeter to the girl because it
came as the benediction of the hill.
One day a sweet girl friend had
come for sympathy in a new found
happiness. 1t seemed to ennoble and
sanctify her love still more to confess
to this gentle priestess and to feel
these poet fingers upon her hair. At
last she raised her face, the bushes
still showing warm in the sunsets

You are gaining strength, dear
heart, and some time you. too. win

noble must be the prince to chain
your heart"

A SERMON IN RHYME.

If you have a friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words meier be said
OF friend till he is dead?
If you hear a song that thrills you.
Sung by any child of song.
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one that thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you hear a prayer that moves you
BY its humble, pleading tone.
Join 1t. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should nat your brother share
The strength OF 1.-TWO or three in pray
er?
If you see the hot tears falling
From a brothers weeping eyes,
Stop them. and by kindly sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When a brothers heart is sad?
If silvery laugh goes ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share it, It's the wise mans saying
For both grief and joy a place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has BIRTH
If your work is made more easy
BY friendly. helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly
Ere the darkness wells the land.
Should a brother workman dear
halter for = word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enrfching you go:
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver,
He will make each seed to grow.
So until it's happy end,
Your life shall never lack a friend.

VITALITY OF THE SHARK.

Nothing but the Shell of the Fish Re
manned, but He Is Still Swimming
On Sept 16 last, on a ship about
fifty miles from Brisbane, Australia,
a huge shark about twelve feet in
length was hooked on a line, which
broke A second time the big fish
got on the line and escaped. Then a
large shark hook with a chain was
throTn out, and the ravenous brute
grabbed it and was caught. All hands
tugged the shark to the vessels side.
A huge hook of the anchor tackle
was put through his jaw and one eye,
and the fish was then hauled out of
the water.
One of the crew ripped the monster
open from the head to the tail The
vital organs and entrails were thrown
overheard and then both jaws we're
hacked out for the sake of securing
the teeth. Nothing but the shell of
the fish remained, and the shark was
lowered overheard. A rush was made
to the side to see him sink, but the
company was astounded to see the
fish make off. First he swan about
fifty yards away, returned to the
steamer, then went off on another
tack for about thirty yards, came back
to the vessel and swan astern, and
was still swimming when he was lost
sight Of
That the fish should swim away
with the whole of his interior from
head to tail and jaw and one eye
gone simply raised the hair of the
pilots and crew, who had never seen
or heard of the like before.

A Boston Kittens Adventure.

office building of Boston and had been
incarcerated five days without food

ty feet in depth from the ceiling level
of the apartment Notice Of the kit
tens misfortune was brought to Arch
itect Bryant late on Saturday after
noon. The cries of the kitten could
be family heard, and Mr.. Bryant's
first impulse was to cut in through
the marble casing of the apartment in
which the flue was located; but a sug-
gestion being made that perhaps the
prisoner, in its desperation, might
seize the end of line weighted and

experiment was tried Strange to say

instantly took fast hold with its claws.

milk administered at intervals, restox>

THE PROMISE TO OBEY?
Should II Remain Part of the Mar
riaqe Service?


riage Service?
In ministerial circles there is a live
ly agitation over the question whether
the word "obey" in the marriage serv-
ice is not superfuous. The officiating
clergyman at marriage service repre-
sents not only the human law, but
the spirit of the divine law He is es-
pecially anxious not to require an OBJ
legation that will not be considered
binding on the conscience of the party
to a marriage to whom it applies. One
clergyman has taken the ground that
II the woman was required to promise
to obey, the man should be subject to
the same requirement. If this means
anything, it means that the parties to
marriage should take turns in obey
ing each other. When an issue arises
both cannot command and both obey
The advocates of the elimination of
the word ''obey" from the marriage
service plant themselves upon the i'm
pregnable ground that a woman no
more than a man should be asked to
make promise that in her heart or
mind she did not intend to keep. The
marriage is happy in which situations
do not arise which justify a liberal
construction of the promise to obey.
As laws which cannot be enforced are
the weak link in the chain of laws,
conditions of doubtful utility. Better
not make a-promise than make one
and break it.-San Francisco Bulletin.
