1t Is readily seen that, while only
some fourteen times as many men as
women are enumerated, 900 times as
many men draw the maximum sal,
airy, and some $50 times as many
draw the next highest salary. Halt
'of the women draw the minimum
salary, less than one-sixth of the men,
1t seems that woman is much less
likely to rise to good position un,
der the Government than man,
Yet 1t should be added that the av.
erage age and length of service is
certainly far lower with the women
than with their co-workers of the
other sex. The women marry and
retire. The men marry and resume
the treadmill.
Large as is the Governments corps

Miss Persimmon by de fence
One November day
Said she didn' see no sense
To muffin anyway.
It's very seldom dat you strike
A disposition bad
So criss-cross an so puckery-like
Dat Miss Persimmon had.

Spied Miss Persimmon there,
A-puckerin' so sharp an strong,
An kissed her fair and square!
De autumn leaves done laugh so gay,
Dey's tumblin' fun de trees,
Cause Miss Persimmon sence dat day

 in the use of the torpedo; they under

PARIS. - A toy balloon one of many released by the newspaper L'Eclaire las been found in Finland, having
 travelled from Paris, a distance of 1850 kilometres, or over twelve hundred miles.
 These races, although merely a piece of newspaper enterprise and a most successful reclame or scheme of ad- vertising. are based and arranged upon the most up-to-date scientific princi- pies, and the results will doubtless be of great benefit to the science of aeros- tation. The balloons are well and care fully made, and equipped with all mod ern apliances, just as the large racing balloons, except that they carry no sky pilot, but follow the whim of the wind currents at their own sweet will.

PERIL OF THE PACIFICl

g. l have seen good deal of the
 'nited States army, and even com
 anding Americans among others dur
 the relief march to Pekin during
 1e Boxer outbreak. As men I found
 ne American soldiers well educated. intelligent and well conducted abov~
 Il Europeans. and their bravery had
 limits. But their voluntary. free ant " discipline was not soldierly in thu 'nropean sense; and such a systen toud inevitably break down in deal lg with ruthlessly dragooned and dis iplined people like the Japanese.
 I remember once giving an order tha' ertain bodies of troops, among them Americans. must break camp at . ir he morning and resume their march To my amazemcnt an officer came to nc at night and pleaded that the Americans were tired. It would be better, he suggested to start at s: "the men would be in better spirits" I agreed. but Cacm 10 the COncluSlOn hat in these Americans l was com manding something very different from what was trained to understand from the word army"
 These are merely few reasons why think that Amcrica's position in the Pacific is seriously threatened, and see no way to avoid the danger. If Japan, taking advantage of some of fcnsc against her immigrants or some other prctext should make undue de- mands upon America, America will be forced to acccdc or to embark on a war which will almost certainly prove disastrous.
 The yellow peril in this sense is real But 1t will become much more a terri ble reality in the future when no merely Japan, but China, armed an6 'egenerated. shall be banded togethe' for the expulsion of the white rae rom Asia.

 America made two grIevpus mis- takes in her Far Eastern policy, and both these mistakes have had the eff feet of weakening her position in the Pacific. First, America favored Ja- pan during the late war; secondly, she engineered the Portsmouth peace conference The United States could lose nothing from the increase of Rus sia's authority in East Asia. America went there for trade only; and Russia was not a trade rival. The continua- ton of the war would have seriously weakened Japan commercially and po- litically, and for generation delivered America from a powerful rival in the Pacific. But MT. Roosevelt first helped Japan to victory and then he helped her to reap the fruits of her victory; as f American patriotism consisted in making Japan one of the greatest pow CTS on earth.
 I consider that this powerful new Japan now threatens America's exist nnce as a Pacific power She will de- troy American trade. Her subjects if allowed to settle freely in American possessions will undermine the econo- mic prosperity of the white Americans. During my long residence in East Asia had opportunities for studying the effects of Japanese immigration. The Japanese regarded Russian territory as a sponge to be squeezed. They took low wages, spent not a kopeck many even brought with them boxes of rice for their own consumption. America can suffer even more from Asiatic set tiers, as the standard of living is high.
 Of course, America can exclude Ja- panese from the Pacific coast. But from that must arise a political danger.

seven-master Thomas w. Lawson when
she was lost at Scilly islands Dec. 18th
with all but three of the crew of eigh-
teen, has reached.his home in Melrose,
Mass. He is still suffering with his
broken arm. Capt. Dow is quoted as
saying: THE Lawson was not off her
course. She was not driven to destruc-
ton by storm, for there was no storm
at the time. The schooner, after hav-
ing taken pilot on board and anchored
off the lighthouse. was allowed to drift
despite my protests. will report the
truth of the entire affair to the owners"
Capt. Dow says he had put in to take
a tow to London. Early in the evening,
and again at 2 o'clock in the morning,
he says he called the attention Of the
pilot to the fact that they were drifting.
He was assured that the vessel was not
dragging anchor, but not half hour
later she piled into jagged reef.

sTEEPLE LACKING DEAD EASY.

The work of the steeplejack is greatly
overrated, and the courage of the indi-
vidual is not what it is cracked up to
be. An old sailor said to me last night
There's the steeple, on firm founda-
ton, as steady as rock and pointing
always straight to the sky. 1t may sway
a trifle in high wind, but such a move
ment is imperceptible to the jack, who
ascends by means of ropes and scaling
ladders, and is perfectly safe if he is a
careful man. If Capelle got 81, 900 for
putting that ball on the pole of the
Singer building, all I've got to say is
he was-well paid for the job. Any
frst-rate seaman would have done it
for $50"
Another old-timer of the sea chimed
in: Eyes, sir, nothin' in it. Where
would steeplejack be on full-rigged
ship with the wind gale and the yard
arms beatin' the waves at every roll?
How would he feel if sent aloft at such
a time to furl the main royal? He'd
be only about $50 feet above deck, but
the mast would be waving through the
air like witch's wand with four con-
trary motions-port and starboard, fore
and aft Imagine him out on the end
of the spar, just below the main truck,
holding ON by his belly, feet and hands
frozen, tryin' to take in sail! Why, if
the poor devil managed to hold on, with
the mate below believing threats at
him, he'd never be able to get down to
the deck again without breaking his
neck. Steeplejacking? Dead easy
