left US the right of comradeship with

Not Enough Clerks to
Properly Perform Du-
ties Required.
ACCOUNTS NOT AUDITED
Mr.. Garrison and Assistants
Working Nights-ESti-
mate of Expenses.

John r. Garrison. Auditor for the
District of Columbia. submitted to the
Commissioners this morning the esti-
mate for the expenses of his Office for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1905. He re-
quests S24.500. a slight increase over
the amount allowed for the current
year.
The estimate is one of the most in
teresting so far submitted by the heads
of the departments of the District gov
ernment because OF the changes which
have been made by the Commissioners
and OF the criticism which has been so
unsparing on the part of the general
public.
Office Force Inadequate
Mr. Garrison supports the plea OF
former Auditor Petty. that the office
force is inadequate to cope with the
important business which daily presents
Itself. He makes the interesting an
nounceroent that the books of the As
SCISSORS office have not yet been audited.
The services OF the Deputy Auditor.
Alonzo Tweedale. are recognized, and a
request made that his salary be iu-
creased from $3.50 to s2. 500. Mr.. Twcs-
dale was in charge of the Office for
three months. from the date OF Mr..
Petty's suspension TO the assumption
OF office OF Mr.. Garrison. and his work
was complimented by the Commission
ers.
Books Not Audited.
In speaking Of the inadequate force.
Mr.. Garrison says:
The increased force asked for, name
", enc clerk at s., 200. one clerk at 81 200.
and one clerk ts'enogrspher and type
writer) at $500. is urgently needed TO
keep up the current work OF the Audi =
tors Office. and dispatch the same IN
thorough and systematic manner. ard
to bring UP work now in arrears.
.'It is highly important that the books
Of the Assessors Office shall be audited
"A work which has not yet been per
formed. When said work shall have
been completed. it will require the bet
ter part OF the time OF one competent
accounting clerk to keep the Assessor
? books audited to date
The proper accounting for the Whole
Cost Deposit Fund and preparing the
audits payable from this fund requires
the time of one skilled accountant. An
additional clerk IS needed upon the
audit OF current claims and payrolls.
This is cIas OF work which cannot be
z delayed.
Delay in Payments.
There should be sufficient force 10
examine all claims and payrolls care
fully and critically. The present force
OF auditing clerks is insufficient to per
form this duty properly. and there is
constant pressure for these audits "a
that necessary payments may not oe
delayed.
The clerks OF this Office have not had
their usual leaves of absence during llis
present year, the needs of the public
business being such as TO require tne
foregoing of leaves of absence on thciI
part The Auditor, Deputy Auditor, and
most Of the clerks are compelled TO work
in excess OF regular hours and at niga.
in order TO keep up the current work
The best results cannot be attained wher
the clerical force OF an Office is ove--
worked and debarred from the benefits ot
the annual leave of absence which I,
authorized by law"

Eskimo Mythology.

Among the Eskimos the sun is 6 maiden, and the moon Is her brother who Is overcome by a wicked passion for her. Once as this girl was at a dancing party in a friends hut some one came up and took hold of her by the shoulders and shook her. which is, according Co the legend. the Eskimo manner of declaring One's love. She could not tell who it was in the dark, and SO she slipped her hand in some soot and smeOred one of his cheeks with it. When a light was struck in the hut. she saw to her dismay that it was her brother. and without waiting to learn any more she took to her heels He started In hot pursuit And 90 they ran until they got to the end of the world. the jumping ofr place, when they both jumped Into the sky. There the moon stlll chases his sister, the sun. and every now and then he turns his sOoty cheek to the earth. when he becomes 80 dark that you cannot see him.

Wonderful Minute Shells.


 There Is a sand bank at Connemara, ,n the west coast of Ireland, that Is the Mecca of every curiosity seeker who is fortunate enough to know of it's exist enee. As general thing sand banks are not a great attraction. but fin this particular case the attractive power Is not In the sand Itself. but in the mll- Hons of extipct miniature shells which aro almost as numerous as the grains of sand with which they are intermin- Eled. The largest of these little won ders Is smaller than the smallest pin head and some Of them 90 minute that they can easily be put through the eye Of a common sewing needle, yet each is as perfect as the pearly nautilus, the spider shell, the sea urchin or any other marine oddlty.
 They are of all shapes and forms im' aginable. One will have the perfect outlines of a miniature basket, another will look Ike a fairy's tobacco boI, while a third needs no effort of the im- aginatlon to give it the form of bot tle. The Hash shells of Ceylon and Aus tralia arc the only living representa- tiyes of these psychological wonders. Naturalists who have examined the Ceylonese flash shells say that each is fiied with a tiny bit of Jellylike sub stance. which of course is the animal itself. but which Is SO infnitesimal that DO distinction can be observed between head and heart. mouth and stomach.
