The volcanic uproar continues. The
eruption of stromboIi seems. in one
way or other, to have cost some hun
dreds of lives. Martinique, Soufriere,
Torishinla and now stromboli, have
added much to the years mortality. AS
for earthquakes they are getting al
most too numerous to mention, but the
affair at Tehuantepec, where there
were seventy-fiv distinct shocks, some
of which threw a 70-ton crane into deep
water, was a striking manifestation of
the ferment underfoot. Had the Eads
ship railway been in operation there
the commissions would have probably
ended it's usefulness.

Work for Uncle Sam

I totype in the commercial world, but
after he has been in the service for
number Of years there attaches to
him a peculiar characteristic which
you find nowhere else in men.
His facial expression assumes a
weariness, his clothes, his shoes. his
hats a slouchiness which is unwar-
ranted in the light of his occupation.
His whole nature seems blighted, and
as one with some incurable ailment.
he measures off the years with stole
indifference, being content to slouch
along if the powers that be will but
permit him to drag his lengthening
chain until the day shall come when
his compatriots in Office may gaze at
his vacant desk and suggest that he
worked himself to death just like a
government drudge"

which are run up over all government

the United States government has
begun its daily routine of clerical
duties, and the administration of
official business.
Like any private enterprise. the
government is Obliged to conduct its
affairs on a systematic basis. 1t is
not all politics, nor congressional leg
islation, nor appointments abroad.
The enormous mass of work that Is
done daily consists mainly of the kind
that is done in the great commercial
houses.
To do this the government clerk is
appointed, either through influence
Nearly 10000 clerks are necessary, 1t
would seem, to do the clerical work
of the government in the departments
at Washington. The work cannot be
described with accuracy. 1t compre.

known to civilized man. and few
systems known only to barbarians.
The Individual clerk Is representa-
tive of the class. In short time
he has learned to keep his mouth
shut upon alls topics political. and he
has little to say about anything af.
fecting the service as a whole.
He will brag about the work Of his
desk and work himself into state
OF pacific frenzy when promotions are
in order, but apart from this he is a
very lackadaisical fellow, noted
chiefly for his languid listlessness
whenever ne walks along the street
or is not rushing to get to his office

Cheaper and Better Dinners Than Can
Be Cooked at Home.

oS SooN0o ~ TIOWSs
In one respect London ia in advance
of the progressive American cities.
Some years ago man of means, who
combined good business sense and
philanthropic disposition and who be-
lieved that people of moderate in
comes suffered from kitchen extrava-
sance and also from poor cooking. es-
tablished a system of public kitchens.
At the start the press paid much at
!entioD 10 the enterprise. but after the
.1ovelty wore of nothing was said
about it. A recent experience shows
that its success has been positive and
it may well prove an example for all
the world
Large kitchens were placed in vari-
GUS crowded centers, within the reach
of people of small but assured in
comes. From one Of these family
may order dinner from an attractive
bill of fare and have it delivered at a
given minute in perfect condition. The
establishment will. IL required. pro-
vide the help to serve the meal. Or.
if it be preferred. the housewife may
do her own marketing and have her
own roast and other articles prepared
for the table in the public kitchen.
1t is obvious that a dinner for a
thousand persons can be cooked at a
lower rate for each than can a dinner
for an ordinary family. Not only is
there a saving in the fuel. but by buy
ing in. large quantities it is practicable
to get everything at a lower price. All
the work and annoyance and heat of
cooking, the time and labor of dish
washing and the like. are avoided.
The head cook employed in the public
kitchen is an expert and an artist. 1t
has been announced that family may
get better dinner for q much lower
price from the kitchen than 1t can get
under the home cooking system

A Natural Curiosity.

1t is not to be wondered at that
a pearl necklace COLLECTED by "a de-
ceased nobleman" sold in London for
$4,000. The thought OF a deceased
nobleman wandering about collecting
jewels lends a vivacious interest to
the most ordinary transaction and
completely disposes of the theory that
our period of usefulness ceases with
death. Perhaps we should dispute tho

The Law Of RecapitulatIon.

The baby epitomizes in the four or
five years before he grows into a
normal child the whole history of the
human race and is therefore an III
teresting object of anthropological
study.
Before he is born he passes through
a stage in which he is a fish with gill
Sits, then through the dog stage.
then through the monkey stage, in
which he has a perfectly apparent
tail. After his birth he represents
man in his rudest stage, speechless
and without glimmer of intelligence.
Then he passes through the stone
age, through all the phases Of the de-
velopment of the barbaric man, until
at last he reaches the upper plane OF
civilization. Biologists call this the
law of recapitulation.
