WEIGHING IN THE CLERKS.
Form of Hazins in Vogue in the Post.
office Department Just Now.

I'VE weighed in one of our clerks
a few days ago." remarked an official
OF the postoffice department. weigh
ing in is not exactly form of hazing,
but is process designed to take the
starch out of employees of our depart
ment who are inclined to get too gay.
"One of our young men-who, by
the way, is the son of an officer of the
department Of high rank-recently
grew altogether too festive. He began
by shooting rubber bands at the rest
of US and next took to playing practi-
cal jokes. We submitted patiently
until he acquired the habit of visiting
an adjoining room for the purpose of
paying rather devoted attentions to
another fellows sweetheart Then il
was that we determined to put the
weighing in process into execution.
One of the schemers remarked to
the gay young man that the latter
seemed to be gaining in weight 1t
was suggested that Smith was an ex-
pert in guessing the weights of per
SUNS OHSitu W Dtl ludl he
could come within two pounds of the
weight of the festive youth. In order
to test the matter the youth consented
to be lifted. Smith reached back over
his shoulders and raised the youth
clear off the ground whereupon the as
sembled group of clerks produced slap
sticks and rulers and proceeded TO
paddle the victim in hearty fashion.
To add to his discontinue the young
lady referred to appeared in the door

WARDRoBEs OF ROYALTY.
Two Expresses Who Can Chang,
Their Costumes Several Times
DaiIv

The empress of Germany and the
czarina OF Russia are the two most
fortunate woman in Europe, if good
fortune means the ability to wear fine
raiments and to change their costumes
as often as it may please their fancy.
1t is said that to keep the wardrobe
of the German empress properly re-
plenished required the constant serv-
ice of dozen dressmakers, and that
on occasions of court festivities or
when her majesty prepares for an i'm
portant journey this regular staff is
increased to forty. We are informed
that the wonderful wardrobe consists
of 100 evening and state dresses, at
least two visiting and carriage
costumes and more than $50 house and
demitoilets annually. All these are
made by hand down to the minutest
particulars.
The empress of Russia is said to be
the msot eXtravagant dresser in Eu-
rope, although naturally simple in her
tastes Her adherence to plain dress
provoked so much grumbling among
the ladies of the court during her first
few years of her marriage that she
went to an extreme of magnificence
which one finds it difficult to associate
with the daughter of the mild Princess
Alice of Hesse.

MADE A RARE DISCOVERY.
Finds in the Archives of Paris the
First Franco-American Toast.

Paris-The Figaro says that M.
Lacour-Gayet, the learned professor
in the Superior School of Marine, has
just discovered in the archives of Rue
Royale among various unpublished
letters of Admiral du Chaffault the
first toast of the Franco-American al
lance. This informal but cordial
toast, in which the sailors of Louis
XVI and the soldiers of Washington
Joined, is worth quoting at the end of
125 years:
ITO America To the king of
France! To congress! To the French
fleet! To Gen. Washington and to the
American army! To the independence
of America! To the alliance of France
and America, and may it never be
broken! To the minister of France
near congress! To M. Franklin, min
lister of America at the court of
France To the friendship of France
and liberty! To commerce, arts and
agriculture! To NJ. d'Orvilliers and
all the army! To NJ lie Comte d'Esta-
ing and all the officers of the French
squadron which is in the harbor of
Boston! To the president of the coun-
Gil and to all Americans here present!
To Monseigneur the duke of Chartres,
to Marie Antoinette, to M de Chat
fault! To M. de Lafayette! To the
American sailors and ships! To all the
women and maidens who have lost
their husbands and sweethearts in the
good cause! To M. the duke of Choi-
seul! To M. de Sartine, to NJ. de Maur.
epas!"
On the eve of the st. Louis exposi-
ton, in which France is preparing to
take so brilliant a part, it is not unin-
teresting to recall this vibrating toast.
1t may inspire those who go there next
year.

the entire absence Of heat in the at
mosphere, was, according TO the
mathematical historian Moritz Cantor,
used by the Babylonians about the
year 700 B. c. This, however, is mere
ly supposition. 1t has not been de-
finitely established tnat zero was in
use any earlier than 400 A. ID. About
this time ii was used in India and
several centuries later the Arabs be-
gan to employ it. Through the Arabs
its use became known TO Europeans
during the twelfth century. 1t was not
generally adopted in Europe until sew
eral centuries later, notwithstanding
Its great advantages. For a consider
able time there were two parties
among the European educators. One
party, known as the algorists, favored
the adoption of the Hindoo system of
notation falsely called Arabic), with
its position values, while the other,
known as the abacists, favored the
Roman notation, without zero or posi-.
ton value.
The genral adoption of the Hindoo
system was greatly facilitated by the
facts that it was explained in most of
the calendars for more than a century
beginning with 1900 and that the
medieval universities frequently Of
fered courses devoted to the use of
this notation.

WHERE MUSK COMES FROM.
1t is the Product of a Deer That is
Raised Largely in India.

Musk is not an agreeable perfume
to many people, although it is highly
esteemed by others, who run the risk
of being called vulgar in order that
they may enjoy its pungent odor.
Musk in its raw state looks a good
deal like axle grease and smells worse
t. popular axiom that the musk of
commerce is obtained from the musk
rat is mistake. There is obtained a
somewhat similar perfume from the
muskrat, but most Of the supply comes
from the musk deer, a creature that
is carefully reared in India for the
sake of the secretion. The secretion
is shipped in the crude state and is
used not only in the manufacture of
the liquid perfume sold as musk but
also in very small quantities to give
strength and Staying power to many
perfumes made from the essential oils
of flowers.

SAVE THE LAMP CHIMNEYS.
Care Will Prevent Much Breakaae
and Consequent Expense.

Philadelphia Ledger-We are assur-
ed by contemporary that the break
ing of lamp chimneys is mainly due to
unequal expansion and that this can
be remedied by making perpendicular
cuts all around the ''bulging part" of
the chimney with a diamond ring.
Well really! Why did no one think
of this simple remedy until now, when
lamps burn blue, and, indeed, are in
danger of going out forever before the
radience Of the garish electric light?
The beauty Of the suggestion lies in
its extreme practicability and its
ready utilization of the means at
hand. 1t is so simple, so convenient.
Everybody owns diamonds and every
body wants to save dimes. Some peo-
pie will urge that they have to work so
hard directing trust companies and
checking off the social calendar that
they do not have tine to sit down once
neys. Their course, however, is per-
fectly clear. They must provide the
butler with set of diamonds and let
him attend to this economy.
What burden is removed from the
shoulders of the ordinary housekeeper
No more worry over breaking lamp
chimneys. A few fourishes with her
diamond and she has insured herself
against every chance except the light.
heartedness Of the hired girl.
There are people, Of course, who will
carry this thing to excess. They will
not be satisfied with perpendicular
cuts. oh, MOI They win begin to itch
for triangles and asterisks and chrys-
anthemum patterns The daughter
of the house will quit typography to
expend her artistic yearnings on the
decoration Of the lamp chimneys, and
as, of course, fancy cuts cannot be
achieved with any old kind of a dia-
mond it will be necessary to have GER
tain styles for certain cuts, so that
regular outfit for a lamp chimney
decorator will probably cost several
thousand dollars. Shades will go
out Of fashion in order to show off or
nate lamp chimneys. Fierce rivalry
will develop in the fashionable set and
common people will go mad on the
subject and the manufacturers viii
take the matter up and the first thing
we know we shall see cut glass chin
neys On the market The question
then will be, considering the extreme
fragility Of cut glass, is not the last
state Of the housekeeper worse than
the first?
But it is folly to look so far ahead.
Save your dimes now and you may be
able 70 afford cut glass chimneys when
they come in fashion.
