pitt as q SpeadtEri9t.

How did Pitt spend his income and
get into debt? During the greater part
of his life, after he had come to mans
estate, lie was in Office, and his income
was about 100000 per annum. He did
not entertain, he did not gamble, he
neither hunted nor shot, and yet at
the end Of seventeen years Of this in
come of 100000 per annum he was
hopelessly in debt. That he was care
less is very possible. Still, considering
that his income was equal to 100000
per annum now, how in the name Of
wonder did he spend it?
This is all the more mysterious, as
he appears never to have paid his
tradesmen. have often seen it stated
that England ought to be proud Of one
Of her greatest statesmen having died
poor. Neither Pitt nor England had
reason to be proud Of a statesman, en-
Joying an ample official income, dying
heavily in debt and making the pay
ment Of his tradesmen's bills depend
ent on parliament voting a sum to
meet the liability.--London Truth.

uov Sheridan Paid a Debt.

No one knew better the power pos
sessed By a really polished compliment
than Sheridan, and on innumerable oc-
casions during that rather stormy the
atrical management Of his did he ex-
tricate himself from difficulty By
means Of one. 4 good instance is the
following: An English nobleman who,
after the manner Of other Of his peers,
had married beautiful actress once
applied with much dignity in the
grecnroom to Ir. Sheridan for the ar
rears Of her salary and vowed that he
would not stir till they were paid. MY
dear lord said tie impecunious man
ager "this is too bad. You have taken
from us the brightest jewel IN the
world, and you now quarrel with US
for the little dust she has left behind
her" The nobleman Immediately burst
out laughing, and over bottle Of wine
the debt was canceled.-London Stand

The Marine Engine Is Alive.

All good old chiefs love their engines
and come to believe in them. To all OF
us assistants and 'prentices they were
not the mere machines that they ap-
pear to the outsider, but quite human.
Every noise they made, every motion,
every trick they had we knew and had
the reason for it. Kipling speaks Of the
marine engine as the most sensitive
thing man ever invented. There's a
sort Of cold. lifeless, though admirable,
precision in q telescope and q fine re-
gard for details in phonograph, but
the marine engine is alive; it strains
and Iabors desperately, it eroans with
rheumatism in its joints, screams with
the pain Of tight bearings, staggers
and plunges against the oncomins seas,
gets out Of breath and runs away with
itself, trembling like frightened
horse.-Benjamin Brooks in Scribners.

First Census Ways.

The original schedules Of the first
census are now contained in twenty
six bound volumes. preserved in the
interior department. For the most
part the headings Of the schedules
were written in by hand. Indeed, up
to and including 1920 the assistant
marshals generally used such paper as
they happened to have, ruling it, writ
ing in the headings and binding the
sheets together themselves. In some
cases merchants account paper was
used. and now and then the schedules
were bound inside Of a newspaper

Uncle Absalom Ashby was much

gave him copy of "Joe Miller's Jest

find something new in it."
The next time he met the old gentle
man he asked him, "Well, uncle, what
do you think Of that book I gave you
the other day."

Ter is" Indignantly responded Uncle
Absalom, ''but do know he's a thief.

Old-Time Kitchens.
From Harper's Bazaar.


With the best will in the world. have
discovered little about the classical kitchen,
except that 1t existed, that it probably
stood apart from the house, and that some
times it was provided with 4 chimney.
When one remembers the banuuets Of
thenaeus and Lucullus. or. for that mat
ter, the Sabine fare Of Horace, this CHM
ney might be taken for granted But, as
matter of fact, 1t must have been long the
luxury of the few, for the chimneyless
kitchen survived until suc,, recent time
that today there is still near Oxford, as
cooks in the university will tell you with
archaeological pride, an ancient kitchen
where a circle Of holes round the roof
takes the place Of our chimney. But the
old classical cooks had such a reverence
for their art-the ''godlike art of cooking"
some of them called it-that no douot they
think so barbarous Cooks who would
quote Homer and knew Plato by heart. and
who thought the mastery of all the arts
and sciences mere preparatory course to
the study of cookery, never could have
been willing to work in kitchen reeking
with smoke like crofter's cottage. In
deed. one among them went so far as to
declare an architectural training necessary
to the cook, so that he might build his
kitchen to suit himself, and secure the
right amount of light. and avoid being ex-
posed to all the winds that blow, for
smoke he wisely observed, according TO
which way 1t goes. makes a great differ
ence when you dress dinner. And fancy
there are times when the chef today would
be ready to give up his chimney for the
chance OF playing his own architect

DELAY IN EXECUTING ORDER.
Hitch Occurs Over Proposed Transfe,
Of Col. Symons' Force Of Clerks,


A slight hitch has occurred in the plan
for the removal of Colonel Symons, the
engineer officer In charge of public build
ings and grounds. and his clerical force
from the basement of the 18th street wing
of the War Department to the fourth floor
of the Lemon building, on New York ave-
nue. near 18th street. The change was to
be made for the special benefit of the ad-
jutant generals office. The overflow of
which was to occupy the quarters vacated
by the superintendent Of public buildings
and grounds.
When the plan became known objection
was made to it by the persons affected. 1t
was claimed that the Office of public build
ings and grounds, as branch of the office
of the chief of engineers. was specially as
signed to it's present quarters by act of
Congress on the completion Of the west
wing of the State, War and Navy Depart
ment building about fifteen years ago 1t
was also urged that the close personal and
official relations between the President and
the officer In charge OF public buildings and
grounds made 1t inadvisabe to move the
Office of the latter farther away from the
White House than at present is the case
In order to determine the legality of the
proposed change. General Davis judge ad
vocate general, was asked for opinion
to the continuing force of the original
statute assigning quarters in the War De-
partment proper to the superintendent of
public buildings and grounds. The judge
advocate general held that the Secretary
of War had ample discretionary power in
the premises and further that the statute
in question did not contemplate that the
offices of the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds, after having been
located in the War Department proper
should never be located anywhere else.
The execution of the proposed plan is
temporarily suspended. but the prediction
is made that it will be eventually carried
into effect by the transfer of Colonel
Symons' offices to the Lemon building.
