WEEDING OUT PARASITES.

The federal government is over
loaded with time servers, and so are
many of the state governments. In
Washington there are departments
that have payrolls from one-fourth
to one-third heavier than they should
be.
The superfluous and costly men,
bers of these various forces owe their
positions to politics. Some of these
expensive luxuries are on duty for
the government only occasionally,
giving much of their time to the po-
litical or other work of their hackers.
They are fence builders.
These facts are we'll known. Secre-
tary Garfield, in ordering a business
readjustment of his forces, does not
need to explain to the country. The
people know in a general way all
that they need to know Of the condi-
tions he has undertaken to reform.
Mr.. Garfield came pretty far from
making a brilliant record as commits
sioner of corporations: but that is nc
reason why he should not rank very
high as a secretary of the interior II

The Smallest Screws

THE smallest screws IN the world are those
made II watch factories. They are cut
from steel WIRE by q machine, but as the CHIP
fall from the knife 1t looks as II the operator
was simply cutting up the wire for ms own
diversion. One thing IS certain: no screw
can be seen and yet u screw Is made by every
third operation.
The fourth jewel wheel screw IS next 10 III
visible, 10 the naked eye resembling a spcck
OF dust With glass, however, 1t can be made
out quite distinctly. 1t has two hundred and
sixty threads TO an inch. These little screws
are four one-thousandths Of an inch IN diam
eter and the heads are double IN size. II ha~
been estimated that ordinary thImble would
hold one hundred thousand OF them.
About one million OF them are manufactured
in the course Of month; but no attempt IS
ever made TO count them. In determining the
number. one hundred OF them are placed on
very delicate balance, and the number OF the
whole quantity calculated from the weight Of
these All the small parts OF the watch are
counted in this way, probably fifty out OF the
hundred and twenty.
When they have been cut, the screws are
hardened and put into frames, about one hun
dred TO the frame, heads up. his IS done very
rapidly, but entirely by the sense of touch III
stead OF by sight, so that blind man with q
little experience could perform the task
The next step IN the process IS 10 polish the
heads IN automatic machine ten thousand
at = time. The plate on which this IS done :
covered with oil and grinding compound.
and on this the machine moves them very
rapidly, by a reversing motion, until they are
in perfect condition.

caped being beheaded when a piece of plate
glass fell from the roof. where several men
were at work putting IN a skylisht- Peter
son was at work with fellow plasterer, Lewis
Olser six floors below. The glass. which was
nearly a foot square. slipped from the hands OF
one of the men on the roof and before they
could give any warning TO the workTpen below
Il struck Peterson, who was stopping over, on
the left side of the neck.
The force Of the blow knocked the plasterer
to the floor with a deep wound in his neck.
Qlser ran 70 his companions aid, putting a
handkerchief around his neck to check the blood.
The wound was so deep however, that the
handkerchief didn't do much good but several
ether employees brought their handkerchiefs and
aprons into use and stopped the flow
An ambulance Immediately summoned
from ST Gregory's Hospital DR.. Heacock found
that Peterson was very weak from the loss Of
blood and hurried him 10 the hospital The
r,hysician said the man had a very narrow es-
cane from death The glass struck the clavicle

ST. GEORGES DEADLOCK.
NO Rector Since j. K. C0ok Elopcd
from Hem pstead Church.

There is q spirited fight on between August
Belmont, senior warden of the old ST Georges
Episcopal Church. at Hampstead, Long Island.
and the other members Of the congregation over
the salary which shau be paid TO the new rector
a meeting was held last night and the fight
waXed furious.
Mr Belmont wants to raise the salary of the
rector from $500 to $500 and he is opposed in
this by nearly every one else in the congreEa-
ticn. Miss Elizabeth Cloves one of the opposi-
tloh, got up at the meeting last night and told
Mr.. Belmont, who presided that few persons
among Ihe congregation were getting $4,000 a
year and she didn't why the rector should.
w ell, said Mr.. Belmont, IF some of the
women of the congregation would take the
money they spend in going in bathing and put
II INTO the contribution box could easily
raise the necessary money 10 allow the rector to
go among his parishiOners and good
clothes"
Mr Belmont also said he believed that the
main reason why the Rev. J. K. Cook the former
rector. ran away with FIoretta Whaley an event
which caused no end Of comment, was the mea-
sreness Of his salary which prevented him from
meeting his obligations
The rectorship OF the church is vacant at the
present time and a few weeks ago a call was
extended to the Rev. DR.. Kerrdge of Eastern
Pennsylvania DR.. Kerridge came 10 Hen,ns+e.d
and after looking over the church decided that
he could never live in the rectory which he said
was IN a wretched condition It was expected

pe some objection to him on the part of Mr..
Belmont
st. Georges Church received its charter from
hlhg George Mr.. Belmont called attention to
the fact that he had offered $50 600 TO the church
the congregation would raise a like amount,
ana said that nothing had ever been done to
take UP his offer. He said that il was quite
possible 10 put the church paying basis and
quoted as an example the First National Bank
or Hampstead. of which he is the founder and
president He said that the bank opened with
a deposit of $4,000 and now had over $500 Ooo
in its safes.
