Government Salaries.

Is there any reason why the en-
ployees of the Postoffice Department
should be singled out among all
those in the government service for
increase in pay? Postmaster Gener-
al Cortelyou, in his annual report,
transmits to Congress the request
for such an advance. There Is little
doubt that the ability of the coun-
trv to pay, as we'll as the cost of liv-
ing. has greatly increased in the last
fifteen years, and that wages In the
government departments have not
even been raised proportionately
with those in private employment.
We believe the letter carriers and
postal clearks need higher pay, and
should have it. But they do not need
it any more than do Uncle Sans
worl,ingfolk in all the other divi-
sions Boston Herald.

Autos Snread Chambers.

Odd as it seems, the rapid increase
of automobiling in Great Britain is
held to be answerable for the spread
of CHAMBERS among horses in the
country. The accusation was brought
at meeting of the Central Associat-
ed Chambers of Commerce, where the
reporter of the cattle diseases COM
mittee said that CHAMBERS was form
erly almost entire confined to London.
Since horse traffic in the metropo-
lis has ben largely and increasingly
replaced by motor omnibuses and
motor cars, however, the disease had
been scrattered through the country
by the sale there of London's aban-
doned horses.
Meanwhile the disease Is cores

The Eternal Feminine.

The fashionable woman on Fifth
Avenue and Broadway this season Is
a sartorial paradox. You cannot tell
by looking at her whether 1t Is sum-
mer or winter, raining or fine, morn
ing or afternoon. Her head, which you
might take to be reasonably warm
under it's natural protection of noun
famous pompadour, she covers with
a heavy fur hat or cap, pound or
so of feathers and flowers and a lot
of little false curls. Over all these
she sometimes ties long, thick au-
tomobile veil. What for?
Her poor little ankles, however,
are left completely out in the cold
She wears her skirts quite as short
as she dares, her shoes as low as
her dancing pumps, and between
these two points there is a stretch or
bare skin showing through very
openwork stockings.
About her neck she wraps several
yards of lined and wadded fur; but
her arms from her wrists to her
elbows are bare save from a thin
covering of suede kid gloves. From
her waist line up she Is usually in
cased in the tightest and warmest or
fur Jackets, while about her limbs
blows a lightweight, much-pleated
skirt, which appears to be mainly
intended to let in the breezes. She
carries hugh 1880 muff, large
enough for Gulliver's hands, but the
soles of her shoes are of paper
weight.
The burning question is, when she
is comfortable about the feet and
skirts. how does she feel with all that
blanket on her mead and shoulders?
And when she is just warm enough
about the head and shoulders, isn't
she aching with cold at the other
extremity? Or is 1t, after all, only
case of mental gymnastics?-N. y.

The alarm called the company to

sent off the apparatus with a rattle and
a warning toot of the whistle. Tom
acted as though he knew that Fire
Commissioner Lantry was thinking
about retiring him for a younger
horse. The fire commissioner had
learned of the horses long service.

for the ensuing two years. The
Court recognized the ability, the

to consideration the fact that the
Office is public trust and dispos.
ed of it accordingly. In his speech
before the court Mr.. Cook announc

the discharge of his duty without
fear or favor; the marshaling and
subdividing of his forces, so that

lated statements showing the status
and advancement of every school
in the county. In these efforts he
hoped to have the cooperation of
the County Court, the directors,
the superintendent and teachers
of the schools. That the Hauser
schoolmaster will make a good
superintendent there is no room
for doubt. In moral and physical
stature he is as tall as a giant, but
his strength is his intellect. The
State needs such men at the head
of its schools, and some day Cook
will find reward of merit in the
shape of an appointment as State
Superintendent.
