Gives up Husband Rather than Salary.

Washington, Dec. 3.-It is said
that few Government clerks die and
none resign. New proof of the tena-
CITY OF the Government employe, espe-
cialiy Of the well.paid women on her
Uncle Sans roll, is furnished.
a recent order Of the Postmaster
General directs that married women
who have husb.ads in the Govern
ment service must give up their posi-
tions. One sagacious woman in the
Post Office Department has solved the
difficulty by deciding to drop her hus-
band and keep her Government job.
She reasons that husbands can be
had by the gross, whereas a Govern
ment job comes but once in lifetime,
and should not be lightly frittered
away merely to retain something,
which, at best, is drug in the mar.
ket.
This clerk has a nice 81, 400 place
and her husband holds one worth
Sl,oOO. She appeared this morning
in the Office Of Der chief and made q
formal announcement that she and her
husband had decided to get divorce.
1--WE talked it ell over" she said,
"and agreed this was tho only thing
we could do and both be satisfied. He
has always spent his salary and have
spent mine. We usually got along
very we'll in this way. But If we are
to lose either salary it would be mine,
and he would not want to spend any
less than he has been spending, aud
would have nothing except what T
could beg from him. Therefore we
think it is wiser to separate.
The Postmaster Generals order for
bidding man and wife to both hold
clerkships has not only work ed this
change, but it has stopped several in
tended weddings.
1t is said that there mas been a
secret marriage in the department in
order to evade the new rule.

Mending Broken Cast Iron.

Until recently it has been generally
conceded that when articles made Of
cast iron were broken they became al
together useless, because they could
not be welded, aud as consequence
the broken parts ultimately found their
way to the foundry to be recast. Such
disposition Of the broken cast iron
will be no longer necessary. This in
telligence cannot fail to prove Of inter
est to farmers who are liable at any
time to break cast iron articles. A
German who lives in Philadelphia has
discovered process whereby the bro
ken metal can be successfully brazed.
He has secured patents in thirteen
countries and has sold his rights in all
of these except Germany, where he
retains CONTROL himself. Companies
have been formed in these countries,
including the United States, and the
industry has proven 80 highly success
full that other companies will be estab-
lished in all the large towns.
This enterprise is known as the
American Brazing Company, with
headquarters in Philadelphia. 1t is
proposed to appoint agents in all the
small towns and villages possessing
blacksmith shop, and these shops will
be equipped for doing the work.
When farmer, for instance, can take
his broken implement, machine, tool
or article Of any description, construct
ed wholly or partly Of cast iron and
have it speedily made as good as ever
he will certainly conclude that great
discovery has been made. It is not
the enterprise Of great magnitude that
is always or even generally Of the
greatest usefulness to the farmer.
The smaller things like the one here
described confer great benefit every
day.

Consollng the Dying.

A young clergyman tells the follow
ing story of the attempt of member
of his flock to console dying man:
II was sent for in hurry to see
Captain Waters, but did not get the
message as promptly as I should. I
arrived just few minutes after he
was dead. One of the members of my
church had been with him, howe yer,
and to him [ expressed my regret that
the man had died without spiritual
consolation.
oh, you needn't let that worry
you, parson,' he replied cheerfully.
i gave him all the spiritual consola-
tion 1 could, and he died thankful
WELL, brother, what did you say
to him2"1 I asked.
Well, 1 began something like
this: Bill Waters, you have been
mighty wicked man, now, haven't

hev.' 'An' yer can't expect the
the Lord Almighty to let yer into
Heaven nohow, now, can ycr2' An
he says: mo, Jim, ] reckon not
We'll, then, Bill, says IL reckon
yell hev ter go to the other place.
Now, Bill, don't yer think after the
life ye've led all these years ye ought
ter be thankful ye hev even that place
to 60 to?' And he was almost too
far gone to answer, but he says: 'Yes,
Bill, ! be- An then he turned over
and>died very quiet like; an parson,
l reckon you couldn't a done any
thing more fer him yerself. ."-Roches-

Saving Himself.

An Englishman who was keen
sportsman, but very bad shot, had
the misfortune one year to half Grip
pie a gamekeeper, who, previous to
another visit the next season from
the sportsman, took every precau-
ton for his own safety. During the
morning of the first day the sports
man shot nothing whatever and
later on was told that his emmuni-
tion was expended. On seeing a
bag containing cartridges he asked
the keeper who they were for.
1"Fhem's not for you, sir" said the
keeper. "Them's for another gen
t.l!ssnian. They've got shot in them p

all I'm got to say lis dat pull'n fod-
der time put nigh hyere On dis is er
mighty good chance TO git ridder
Nickydemus.
"Gentermuns Oh de jury, is yer
egreed?" demanded Squire Bolden.
I'VE am, sah," came in dignihed
tones from the frame.
"What is de wcrdick 2" solemnly
demanded Uncle Cephas.
"De wordick, sab, am it nebber
won do to let slip dis chance er git
tim ridder Nickydemus," was the re-
ply.
"Stan' up, pris'ner," was the su-
perfiuous order of the magistrate to
the condemned, who had been
standing up from the first. "You's
done plenny harm in dis worl' fer
one niger, en- sides you's had er
far trial TO yer feller citizens.
Now, it's de Judgment er dis court
dat yer be hung to de biggie' Inn
avn Pop Castle oak widder grape
vine, Gaze t'ud be bad luck to use er
rope after it been bout dead folks,
en- dat de jury is debbytized to do
de hangin'."
"Hold onp I shouted, thorough
ly aroused by the groans of the
prisoner and the screams of his
wife and children. 'Do you know
that you are about to deprive hu-
man being of life against law and
justice? Why, not even a witness
has appeared against him! Mind
what you dol"
esDe gentermuns in sto' cloze," re-
piled the magistrate sternly, "will
pease don't bodder de exscusion-
ments er dis hyere court. De cha'c-
ter er Nickydemus Wagstaff is
knowed fur as de train goes ef not
er lIl' furder. De whole yearth en-
ev'ytheng in it b'rs witness ergin
him. Gentermuns, do yer juty."
While ! was struggling desperate
ly to force my way through the
throng and reach the spot the ropes
were stripped from the prisoner, a
slip moose in the grapevine thrown
around his neck, and he was dragged
away to the designated spot. One
end of the vine, weighted with q
small stone, was thrown over
huge limb. The jury seized it as it
fell and pulled with might and
The doomed man rose, wildly
kicking and struggling against the
background Of blue sky. He was
already several feet in the air when
a hitch occurred. The jury gave
jerk. With a snap the grapevine
broke, piling them in heap ON the
ground.
In an instant Nicodemus was
making for the woods, descending
the hill twenty feet at bound, with
half the grapevine standing out
straight behind him and the whole
crowd, Uncle Cephas in the van, in
headlong pursuit.
Before 100 yards were covered it
was clear that Pop Castle would
witness nc hanging that day, and in
half an hour the breathless, bafled
crowd was back again, seeking what
consolation the cool spring water
could afford.
Whether it was an accidental
break in the grapevine OF whether
the shrewd old man while trim
ming and ''soopiin' . gave it a nick
it. was impossible to say, although
there was plainly a twinkle in I'm
Gle Ceph's eye when his gaze met
mine on his return from the chase.
