Uncle SANS Veterans.

There are 616 clerks in the employ of
the government who have reached the
age of three score years and ten, accord
Ing to the National Magazine. Most of
them are in the Department Of the In
terror, where 1T people past 10 years
Of age are at work day after day. In
the Treasury Department ia tried and
trusted clerks have passed mans allot-
ted span-a fact brought out in most
dramatic way by special message sent
to the House Of Representatives last
September, giving details concerning
this patriarchial regiment of 676 peo-
pie employed in the various depart
ments.
1t is significant that only one of the
676 is on the civil service commission,
and that commission Is the body which
has power to retain the service of
clerks and prevent removal except for
a good cause. There are seventy-six
printers in the government printing of.
flee who have handled stick and rule for
over half Il century and have passed the
10th stone in life. Forty-three of the
veterans Of three score and ten are in
the Agricultural Department In the
War Department there are sixty eight
gray-beards still at work, although they
have long since passed the age at which
officers are retired. One wonders wheth-
er, like Charles Lamb, they have work
ed until the wood of the desk has
entered into their souls"

a book has lately appeared which
holds pleasure for the casual reader,
and at the same time is full of interest
for social philosophers and students of
American life. The title is "Undistin-
guished Americans" Sixteen persons
contributed to the authorship, for each
chapter is the life story of a different
person: Lithuanian workman in tht
Chicago stockyards, French dress
maker, a Swedish farmer, an itinerant
preacher, and many others of wide di-
versity in race as well as in occupa-
ton, but all Of them now Americans,
and all Of the common people. 1t is
by no means the first time that the
ordinary man has been allowed to tell
his own story or had it truthfully told
for him but 1t has never before been
done on so generous scale. One gets
many impressions from the book, some
cheering, some depressing. First of all
comes new perception of the bound
less opportunities which America offers
to the whole world. All these persons
have got on" by virtue of having
chances here which they had not in
other countries; and from this percep-
ton comes to the reader a new sense of
patriotism, new love for the great
country which has made these lives pos
sible. Another noticeable thing is the
rapidity with which the dull and the
downtrodden Of other lands are I'M
bued with the American spirit and be-
come Americans themselves. On the
other hand, one receives an impression
that the amount of thought and talk
about money is excessive. The eager
ness Of the frantic struggle to get 1t
and the eXultation of those who have
got 1t are apparent on every page. 1t
makes all the more significant the alb
sence Of expressions Of gratitude to-
ward the great republic which has Civ
EN- them opportunity. All Is taken as
matter Of course. But these stories are
not complete Wait till the children
and the grandchildren Of these people
tell their life stories. "Undistinguished
Americans may be followed by Dis
Americans" and in the third
volume there may be chapter on
Great Americans" 1t takes time to
earn dividends.

If a man spent large sum of money
to pipe water into his house and then
refused to put in taps he would be
thought foolish. If man ordered a
dinner for dozen guests and then re-
fused to spend money for stamps on the
Invitations he would not be considered
saving. If the United States govern
ment spends thirty or forty million dol
lars for a system Of coast defenses and
then refuses to pay wages high enough
to secure men to handle the expensive
machinery and keep it in order in times
Of peace, what Is to be thought of that
policy? The question Of patriotism does
not enter here. In time Of war millions
Of men, If necessary, can be enlisted, but
when there Is no stress of immediate
peril to the country men cannot be
found to do the tlresome work of coast
guards for less than the average wages
Of civil positions requiring equal intelli-
gence and training. 1t Is really a patri-
otic duty, but it Is not so regarded.
Each man leaves it to some other not SO
fortunately situated as himself. II war
should be declared suddenly it would be
necessary to intrust the great guns with
their delicate apparatus to green men
full of enthusiasm but capable of put
ting the defenses in n condition to rem
der no service till the war was over
The remedy for this state of things was
pointed out by Secretary Taft to the
Senate military committee. Less than
one-fourth of the coast defenses could
DE manned at present If every man in
the service were utilized. There must
be an appropriation adequate to the
need. The coast line Of the United
States, without counting in insular DOS
sessions, is altogether too large to be
defended by navy twice the size of
the present one, and there is no hope
that the navy will soon be enlarged suf
flciently to meet possible attack Mt
points as widely separated as those
which a cunning enemy would be likely
to aim at The relative value of coast
defenses and n large navy was consid.
cred when the forts along the coast
were planned and equipped. That part
OF the expense has already been incur
red. 1t would be foolish to let the
money go to waste for lack of q liberal
policy toward the army now.

During the late war Japanese gun
ners threw missiles with accuracy over
high hills at objects they could not see.
Now a mere boy in Germany has dis
covered a method by which torpedoes
can be fired around corner. SO i'm
portant are his inventions deemed that
the Emperor has ordered him to Ber-
lin to place them at the disposal of the

to the effect that the world Is getting
to be too civilized to tolerate war; and
that there is a good prospect Of dis
armament by international agreement.

Scarlatina or Measles.-An easy way
Of distinguishing scarlatina from mea-
sles Is to draw the back of finger nail
firmly across the eruption. If scarla-
tina, white line will result which will
remain for one or two minutes. No
white line will appear If the test be
made In case of measles. 1t is quite
necessary to distinguish between these
two disorders. A mild case of measles
may be treated by domestic means A
case Of scarlatina demands the pres
ence of doctor
Headaches.-There are more than
fifty kinds Of headaches and sufferers
from the more common forms may
cure themselves by locating the cause
and treating accordingly. The more
frequent forms are dull pain across

In the back Of the head, due to the
liver; bursting pain in both temples,
due to malnutrition an ache on the
top of the head, as If weight pressed
on the skull, due to overworl; an ache
between the brows, just above the base
OF the nose, due 10 eye stran.
Ashes for Wounds.-Ihe cd Indian
and Mexican remedy for ali sorts Of
wounds Is to wrap the abrasure in
wood ashes and do nothing more to It
We once saw case where Il mangled
finger was treated in this way. The
first thing to do Is to quickly replace
the torn flesh and run silk thread
around the fingers several times to
hold 1t in place, then wrap each finger
separately In all the ashes that can
be piled on. Change the cloth occa-
sionally for clean ones and add more
ashes, II fresh blood appears. 1t will
heal completely without the least sup
puration or soreness. Let 10 liquid
of any kind touch the wound especial
ly water. Take stitches If necessary to
hold the flesh together, and wrap at
once in all the blood-the more blood
the better-if 1t can be staunChed with
the ashes. 1t Immediately creates a
cement imperviOus to air ard water
which cannot be removed until the
wound heals when it comes eff itself.
No suppuration, proud flesh, soreness
or gangrene ever takes place

Opposition to the endless food Of

upon the fear that they will destroy

lief that they will lower the standard
OF citizenship and morality. In either
case the, fear Is directed against the
