New York Times: President Dabney
OF the University Of Tennessee, when
in New York. told about the reply of a
sinner to a clergyman of his acquaint-
nee, who was a Calvinist with the
most severe notions Of future punish
ment. While this Calvinist was walk
ing along the street Of his native town
he met a man whose tongue a been
loosened by too liberal rotations. The
fellow seemed to be greatly d%ispleased
with somebody, for in his stammering
talk the minister heard over and over
again the phrase. Damn you" Going
up to the man he took him by the
shoulder and said:
my man, don't you know it's very
wrong to use such profanity?"
Don't talk to me, sir?" responded
the drunkard: Tn only damning only
one man, and every Sunday you damn
%two-thirds of the human race"

The FRENCH Housewife,, rhr;t4

Philadelphia Record: The well known
thrift Of the French housewife is re-
tiected in the national finances. 1t is a
fact that the distribution of wealth in
France is wider Than in any other Eu-
ropean country. The records of the
court Of probate in England and the
notarial records in France afford data
for comparison. In England the 81. 233
estates administered last year amount
ed to 81, 44O, 900, 900, while in France $685.
613 estates only melted 1854, 425, 201. In
other words, While the English forl
tunes We're much greater individually
than the French estates, the number or
property holders in France We're five to
one compared with England.

TO HELP THE TYPOS
PRESIDENT ASKED TO SUSPEND
CIVIL SERVICE REGULATIONS
FOR BALTIMORE PRINTERS.
Plan to Have Those Thrown Out by
Great Fire Employed by Govern
ment Until They Can Return to
Their Old Positions-Medals Of
Honor for Distinguished Service.

Washington, d. c., Feb. l5.-Repre-
sentative Frank Wachter ot Baltimore
requested the president to temporarily
suspend the operations of the civil
service regulations so lar as the gov
eminent printing office is concerned, so
as to permit the employment of print
ers, bookbinders. pressmen, press feed
ers, folders and artisans of kindred
trades without having to undergo an
examination and await appointment in
the usual course, the suspension OF the
regulations to apply only to those
workmen who were deprived of en-
ployment by the Baltimore fire. The
employment required for the men, Mr..
Wachter explained. was to be only
temporary, in order that they might
tide themselves over for the present.
President Roosevelt considered the
suggestion as an excellent one and at
once took the subject up with the civil
service commission and with the pub
lie printer. If he should learn h a the
additional help can be employed profit
ably at the government printing office
it is probable the temporary suspen-
sion of the regulations will be made as
required.
