lions in England leads to the conclusion
that the English method of scfapping
worn-out human machinery is infinitely
superior to the American from the point
OF view of the clerk as well as that of
the responsible higher official charged
with the work of government indeed
on most points the English government
methods are superior to those of our own

and maintains very high standard of
requirements for admission and when ii
drafts q man into its service II holds him
to strict performance % his duty. But
when 1t thus takes man into the ranks
il virtually assures him of "A career for
life, with good pay and fair conditions
and an honora BILE retirement when he has
reached certain age without costing him
shilling. II insures promotion through
out the service by establishing a fixed
scale Of annual increments SO that no
clerk stands still save during the closing
years of his work. when he has reached
his maximum of pay. He never retro

go forward he' goes out. long before he
has reached the age at which, he finds II
impossible to start afresh in a new

There is reason why the English
system would not be dapta bic to Arneri-

Some anxiety was caused in Washing

Severe Hampton roads for the

storm that had swept along the south
Atlantic coast. In The Star of November
1. Sl61. is the following:

been II struck it at least two or three
hundred miles south of fIatteras. But
Judging from the direction and character
of the winds prevailing here before, dur

that little of 1t reached as far east as the
fleet must have been by FIR day morning

last evening or this forenoon the fleet

mouths of the Mississippi, if the storm
did not throw down the telegraph wires
south, the probability is that the Rich

it's appearance and landing somewhere on

"And your mother, doesn't she

Mother? No, she doesn't earn
anything"
What does she do during the
day." I asked.
"Oh, she is the first up in the
morning and the last in the evening;
she gets breakfast; calls father; gives
him his breakfast; then she gets the
children ready for school; while we
are in school she makes the beds,
sweeps and gets things in order,
cooks dinner; after dinner she
mends, darns stockings and knits;
and that's the way it goes all day
long"
"And what does she get for it?'
He laughed and said: Mother
doesn't work for money-that is her
occupation, and is supposed to be
done by her. "
