the recommendation. Also I have in
structed the committee to prepare a
circular to be sent to all the employ
ees of the department. advising them
to be vaccinated against typhoid fe-
yer. Any physician, the circulars will
inform the employees, may perform
the vaccination. The employees may
employ their own physicians, if they
choose"
A similar recommendation, it is un-
derstood. will be made by the heads OF
the other departments to their employ
ees, particularly to those who have
much travelling about the country to
do. Chief Clerk McNeir Of the state
department said today that while no
general recommendation had yet been
made to the employees of that depart
ment, still vaccination against typhoid
had been recommended to the Wnited
States consuls going to typhoid infect
ed districts. Some of them, he said,
had acted upon the suggestion.

Uncle SANS Eaala.

The eagle is the king Of birds, the
lord Of the sky, the bravest, noblest
and most independent of the feathered
tribe, and probably that is the reason
why he was adopted as our national
bird. His image holds its place upon
our national coat of arms by sheer
merit and not merely from empty
sentiment. The noble bird, loving
liberty, scorning confinement, at home
and at his best only when invested
with the wide freedom Of the glorious
heavens, is the fit emblem of the
spirit of re- and Of the government
that that spirit won and established
on the earth. Other peoples entertain
the same high opinion Of the eagle,
since from the time of the institution
Of the Roman standard straight down
to the present day he has appeared as
a conspicuous figure in the heraldry OF
the nations.-HeW York American.
