not content with merely u surface

its profoundest depths. And yet. so
clearly and logically is the truth set

MRS. LOGAN DISCUSSES
 CIVIL SERVICE WORK
BY MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN.

Washington, November 13--One is at a loss to understand why there are so many applicants for examination for ap- pointment in the civil service at every examination which Is held, either in Washington or elsewhere. The list grows longer, and those who pass are moro numerous, no matter for what class the examination is held.
 In these numbers there are both men and women graduates of high schools and colleges, of all ages admissible under the rules. It is claimed that women are in the majority of those whose scores are the highest
 Stenography and typewriting being un- iversally used, there is greater demand for operators and stenographers than for ordinary clerks. Expert scrfbes are very few, the departments experiencing great trouble in securing penmen who can enroll and engross commissions and other documents that must be engrossed with a pen.
 There Is no occupation more confning than that of being employed by the gov ernment and sitting all day long in the vitiated air of the departments. The routine and monotony of the very best work in the departments is of such a character as to destroy all individuality and one becomes, in sense of the word,

perfect machine, as there is rarely any work that requires any thought whatever and all is performed absolutely mechanically rs
 I have watched the careers of very many young men~and women who have come to Washington and secured em- ployment in one or the other depart ments, and-there is scarcely an excep- tion to the rule-they become spiritless, lacking in ambition, and reach a point when there seems nothing for them to do but to resign themselves to life of monotony and confinement.
 MT. McHarg, in a recent interview, has not over-drawn the picture, and he strongly advises against seeking employ ment in the departments of the govern ment, especially for men.
 Once on the payroll, they seem to lose all courage, and to be willing to accept their monthly salary, forgetting that they are growing older and older in the service, and finally will be unable to tear themselves away from a certainty and obtain a private business or employ ment outside. They seem to think they never reach a point when they can give up certainty for an uncertainty.
 There are men in the departments to- day who have been there from twenty five to forty-fve years. who are nothing more or less than automatons, and 1t is pitifu1 to see them going their weary rounds year in and year out without any changes in their lives, accomplishing nothing more than their daily tasks at their desks in the departments.
 They have no inspiration and little in- terest in anything outside of the four walls of the department in which they are earning their daily bread. They never seem to realize that the older they grow the less capable they are for higher and more important positions.
 If among them there appears a bright, active ambitious person, he can depend upon 1t thet he is in the minority, and th&t the majority will be conspdring

Thinqs Not in the Bible.

From the Philadelphia North American
 What vast amount of trouble the human race might have avoided if Eve hadn't eaten the apple" remarked the "grouchy" individual when something especially displeased him.
 How do you know it was an apple ?' asked the accurate man.
 Why the Bible says so, doesn't it?''
 NO. It has come to be popular belief that the fruit which was eaten by our first parents in the garden eastward in Eden was an apple, but there is no authority for this.
 Tt is called simply the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and did eat and gave also to her husband with her; and h did eat What Is there here about an apple?
 "A great many popular quotations are attributed to the Bible, when in fact they had other sources.
 God tempts the wind to the shorn lamb is not from the scriptures. but from "A Sentimental Journey to ItaIy,' by Sterne.
 "'In the midst of life we are in death.' which is found in the burial service, can be traced to Luther
 From St. Paups utterance, The love of money is the root of all evil,' we have twisted the saying, Money Is the the root of evil Cleanliness Is next to godliness was uttered by John Wesley in a sermon on dress. The mercif,I man is merciful to his beast is a popu- lar rendering of the proverb, A rirb tous man regardeth the life of his beast The tongue Is an unruly mem- ber' appears in the epistle of James as The tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil

occupied apartment. It was on the ground between two joists, under a part of the old house where there was no cellar snuggled up close to the base of the great old chimney. Joists and floor beams crpss-thatched the spot into a number of compartments. There was the mothers bedroom, occupied by big nest woven of coarse grass. There was the big liv-

GREAT SEA LORD
 ABOUT TO RETIRE

London, November 13-(Specal.)- rumor that Sir John Fisher, the powerful First Sea Lord, was about to retire, was started about year ago by his enemies who can be counted fin the service by the thousands; but there is now every reason to believe that Jack Fisher is really meditating retirement after receiving peerage. For the past few years he has enjoyed the intimate friendship of the King, but his autocratic rule at the ad- miralty has caused bitter dissension in the navy, which is still split up into two cllques-the Fisher and the Lord Charles Beresford group.
 The recent announcement of the forma- tion of a naval war board, which would prevent lone man rule'' in the navy, is the direct outcome of private talks be- tween the King and Sir John Fisher. The King is as heartily tired of the picker ings in the navy as Sir John, and the lat ter, who is certainly nothing If he Is not patriotic, believes that the best way of ending the trouble is to vacate his post in favor of someone who is more general ly popular in the service.
 At the Service clubs members have al- ready settled the matter among them- selves. and the general opinion is that Ad- miral Sir Wilmot Hawkes. will be the next First Sea Lord. Sir William has had great experience at the admiralty, is personally very popular and does not be- long to either of the two cliques.
 The most serious question in the navy just now is the shortage of men. Sir John Fishers nucleus crew" scheme has de- generated into farce. It is now an open secret that the InfleXible which is so ad- mired in New York, could not have at tempted a record on her way home, even if her commander had wished it. as she was far too short handed. Every one of the big ships in the British navy and es- pecally the Dreadnoughts, are hopelessly 1indermanned in spite of the repeated warnings issued by officers of the ad- miralty.

A PoIecat's Home.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
 MT. Winthrop Packard, the author of that delightful book, Wild Pastures, has charming article in Suburban Life for October, in which he says: with most people, the skunk's reputation is in bad odor to speak; yet he Is a gentle animal, remarkably lacking in any de- sire to give offense, and neat in his per sonal haaits.

against him to prevent him from mak- ing the progress that perhaps he would accomplish if he were out in the world in competition with rivals, and obliged to exercise his mentality and energies to succeed.
 There are, of course, instances in the departments that are very pathetic Many have been employed that would not have been able to earn g. compet- ency elsewhere.
 One recalls with tender sympathy tho life and character of Mrs. Gridley. the mother of Capt Gridley. who died re- gently at the advanced age of eighty four years. She was a charming wo- man, and in her prime was really very remarkable person.
 She filled position in one of the de- partments or many years, having been appointed to a clerkship during the civil war. She was a widow and was. through this appointment, enabled to educate her sons; Captain Gridley hay ing been prepared for Annapolis through his mothers management and devotion. Her other son was well educated, but is now in one of the departments in Washington.
 She was never awarded pension, not withstanding she had not regular SUD- port, because her son, Captain Gridley. had married and the pension was given to his widow. His poor old mother got nothing but her regular salary. which she earned to within very short time prior to her death. Had it been possible for her to have obtained employment outside, she would doubtless have proven that she was a woman of rare ability.
 The departments have been great benefaction to maimed soldiers, their widows and daughters. And yet 1t seems unfortunate that the necessities of life have been such as to dwarf the careers of many of these bright, young people, who are daily following in the footsteps of the predecessors. with lit tie hope beyond the daily demands of their uneventful lives
