Bruce's first memories had to do
with long nights when he perched be-
side his father on the cabin roof OF
their keelboat and watched the stars

it lay against the sky, or the lights on
other barges and RATS drifting as
they were drifting, with their wheat
and corn and whisky, to that COM
mon market at the rivers mouth.
Bruce Darlington had seen the day
of barge and raft reach It's zenith,
had heard the first steam packets

Tribute to the government employe

Whipple. paymaster general Of the

ary and a system of retirement when
the employe reaches the age OF Inca
pacity. Referring to the 80 per cent
increase in the cost of living during
the last fifteen years." without cor
responding advance in pay, Gen. Whip
pie says the additional pay is asked
not as a reward for services, but as a
necessity"
There is no class OF employees more
deserving of recognition In the matter
Of an increase of compensation and re-
tirement with reasonable pay than the
government clerks" adds the general
Their lives are given to the govern
ment and II would seem that these
conditions should be recognized and
the scale OF wages increased at least
to a degree which would be somewhat
commensurate with the present high
cost of living"
The salaries of the clerks in his Of
fee, he says, have not been increased
since 1870, In face OF so per cent.
increase in the cost of living.
1T is apparent" says Gen. Whipple,
that under these conditions tn clerks
with families to support and children
to educate have been forced to prac.
tice the utmost economy and self-de'
nal to make both ends meet and yet
in the face of this there has been no
diminution in their faithful applica'
ton and attention to duty"
To attain and maintain an efficiency,
now impossible under the present law
Gen. Whipple recommends that at
least SO per cent. OF the paymaster's
department be made permanent de
tails This could be obtained, he says
by making the majors and higher
grades permanent.

BIRDS AS DANGER SIGNALS.

Canary birds have just been intro
duced in the government service as
life.savers. score or more have
been purchased by the bureau OF
mines to aid rescuers in determining
the condition of the air In mines.
Or. Joseph A. Holmes. director Of
the bureau, has found, after a good
deal OF experimenting. that canary
birds are more susceptible to poison.
GUS gases than any other living thing.
Whereas a healthy man may remain
conscious for eight minutes or more
In compartment filled with foul air.
under certain conditions, canary will
succumb in few seconds, 1t Is said.
"As most of the explosions in mines
these days are caused by coal DUST"
said a chemist, employed in the bu.
reau, 'rescuers who enter the mines
soon afterward are apt to encounter
the noxious fumes of carbon monoxide.
1--WE have shown repeatedly that
birds in general and canaries In par
ticular are much more sensitive to
poisonous gases than is man. The bu-
reau of mines has purchased num-
ber of these song birds and will use
them as a warning to parties of res
cuers as to the presence OF poisonous
gases in a mine following an explo-
sion.
"Rescuers will take these birds down
a shaft with them. keeping them In
cages all the while. and will watch
them closely. II they see the birds
begin to droop or fall unconscious 1t
will be signal for them to obtain
oxygen helmets or retrace their steps.
We are expecting great things of the
birds and feel sure that they will safe
guard many lives"

INTERESTING COMPARISONS
Contentious Which the Grange Has
LONG Put Forth Showing Status
of the Farmer.

The Grange has long contended that
the farmer is not as we'll paid for his
labo. as an equal expenditure OF en-.
ergy commands in other occupations.
and the truth of this contention Is
we'll illustrated In recent address
at a large Grange meeting by one OF
the leaders In the order. He told OF
hiring a man to paint his house at 50
per eight-hour day. and then made
forcible point by stating that he pro-
posed paying him by the hour. In farm
produce This was the way he did 1t:
First Hour-Twelve quarts Of milk.
Second Hour-Two dozen eggs.
Third Hour-Half bushel Of pota'
toes.
Fourth Hour-Twelve quarts Of
onions
Fifth Hour-One and one-half pounds
of butter.
Sixth Hour-One and one-eighth
quarts of cream.
Seventh Hour-F'ive pounds of pork.
Eigh. l hour-Six pounds of beef
From this comparison which Is ap-
parently not overdrawn. at prevailing
selling rates of farm produce. the
speaker drew the conclusion, that
while the fruits of one days labor
would support the painter a long time.
1t would require many days work for
the farmer to raise It
