Women Government Employees.

An official of the government print
ing Office was talking the other even
ing OF the personnel of the women en-
ployed in the big printery. He said
the civil service rules went into effect
at the office just ten years ago. The
result has been to give the office a
much better class of women workers
than those who were appointed prior to
that time.
THE women in the folding rooms,
the bindery and the press room now"
said the official, ARE largely of the ed
ucated class. Some of them are former
school teachers, stenographers and the
like. and will add they are credit
to the government service"
The statement was added that it fire.
quently happens that these workers in
the printing Office are transferred to
important clerical positions in the 9TH
er departments by reason of the high
percentage they make in competitive
examinations.-Was Star.

The Jews and the Japanese.

Are the Japanese the lost ten tribes
of Israel? The Jewish World revives
this old theory. remarking that it was
probably inevitable that they should
be sought in the Japanese in view Of
the fact that the museums OF Japan
contain numerous engravings purport-
ing to show the landing of Jews in
Nippon. One of the pictures cited Is
said to show procession in which tue
ark is discernible and in which the
priests wear hats of biblical pattern.
Another depicts Solomon in the act OF
receiving gifts from the queen Of
Sheba. while-and this Is regarded as

English University Spirit.

Until the middle of the nineteenth
century England had only three mi
versities-Oxford, Cambridge and Dur
ham-but the time is soon coming
when every large city on John Bull s
island will want university of its
own London already has one, and SO
has Birmingham, to say nothing OF
those of Manchester and Liverpool,
Leeds has Joined the dance, and lat
est of all, comes Sheffield, which
orenod its university recently. The
new buildings have cost $1,000,oOo.
And so things change, even II Eng
Lane, and these rapid transformations
are bound to alter the aristocratic char
acter of the English universities. In
fact, those institutions seem bound to
ASSUME a most democratic air. No
longer is university education to be put
on a high shelf where only few rich
young gentlemen at Oxford and Cam
bridge can reach it, but, precisely as in
America, it will soon be accessible to
the sons of the middle classes and the
poor, who can still live at home while
taking their lectures at the university.

RIGHT TIME TO SLEEP.
Best Health Enjoyed by Those Who
Retire Early.

Perfect health demands not only a
fixed amount of sleep, but the obser-
vance of regular habits, says DR.. John
d. Quackenbos. And perfect sleep for
man can be obtained only at night, as
suggested by the rythmical succession
of light and darkness There is point
to the old proverb, AN hours lseep
before midnight is worth two after. ."
Those who are in the habit of turning
night into day realize this to their
cost The hour before midnight that
is worth two after is from IL to II.
And inasmuch as the human system is
more below par at a. m. than at any
other period in the "a hours, sleep
should cover at least two hours on
each side of this time. When life is at
stake in the crises of acute disease,
nurses are instructed to begin special
stimulation at midnight and to con-
tinue it until in the morning, in the
hope that tagging energies may be
sustained through this period of SUI
preme depression.

THE REAL FRANKLIN.
Small Honor Paid the Memory Of Our
Famous Patriot.

There were not wanting sinister in
fuences, subtly and persistently inhib-
iting the development OF that large,
explicit and national recognition of
Franklin's services which very little
thing might have called into full being
and activity even during his lifetime.
Had that consummation been realized
even for day, though it had been but
the day after his death, the character
Of his fame would have been fixed diff
ferently, one cannot doubt, for the rest
of time. For there would then have
come fully and simultaneously into the
national consciousness a conception of
Franklin which-instead of the legend
of the Philadelphia printer, almanac
maker and humorist, or instead of the
legend Of the moral philosopher who
taught men how to thrive in business
and inculcated the practice of honesty
as one of the best tricks of every trade
should have given us the legend of
that historical Franklin, the most ia
nous patriot, the wisest statesman, the
most successful diplomatist of his age,
man with whose name all Europe
whatever America may have been do
ing or thinking of, then and since
once rang from side to side, and whose
presence in the world filled the mind of
his generation with the ideas of en-
lightenment, magnanimity and free
dom.-Wiliam Macdonald in the At
lantic.

Geo. w. Perkins, a partner OF }
Pierpont Morgan and former vice
president of the New York life lnsur-
ance Company, has been arrested, I'M
der charge of the larceny of s4s,1o2
belonging to the policy holders Of said
company, which he gave to Cornelius
s. Bliss, treasurer of the Republican
National Committee. Habeas Corpus
proceepings, to secure his release were
argued before justice of the supreme
Court, in New York, last Friday, but
the judge reserved his decision. There
does not seem to be any good reason
why Bliss the treasurer, and Cortei-

Committee should not be made
"partieeps criminis' with Perkins, for
having received the stolen money.

Tea Drinking in ireland.

In return just issued it is stated
that In Ireland over six pounds Of tea
per head of the population are con-
sumed yearly. The consumption per
head has remained practically station
airy for the last five years, but in
creased about one pound per head in
the preceding ten years. There is no
other European country, with the ex-
ception of Holland, where the con-
sumption of tea exceeds one pound per
head 1t must be remembered that I'M
der the Tory War Budget each of these
pounds of tea cost the poor sixpence in
taxation-New York News.

CUMMINS vs.. ELKINS.
