Civil Service In Anarn,

A novel method of identifying the work of candidates Is employed in civil service examinations in Anam. The examination itself somewhat resembles similar examinations in China. Zach student squats in his little hut while he works at the tests provided to show his literary taste and intelligence. The subject during the last examinations was the teachings of Confucius, and the candidates prepared moral essays or commentaries. The examination lasts fifty hours. At the end of the days work each candidate, when pre- pairing his papers for handing in, tears and retains little piece from the first sheet. When the best compositions have been selected the candidates hay ing the pieces that fit the torn places are declared winners in the competi- tion.-Chicago Record Herald. ..

Errnine Is the Royal Fur.

The fame of the ernne as a crea- ture 'patronized by royalty" dates back to the reign of King Edward IT., who made 1t punishable offense for any person except those of royal birth sto wear the fur of this handsome lit tie animal. This tyrannous restriction has been long removed, but ermine, of course, is still the royal fur and proba, ply owes its long continued populari ty as an article of personal adorn- ment more to that fact than anything else. It has, however, the great draw back of losing its pristine whiteness after a few years, while, owing to the variation in the quality of the fur found on different animals of the tribe ermine is far harder to match than many other skins employed in the making of human appareL-London Globe.

Marriace by Cap:ure.

Marriage among Wa-Unga of north east Rhodesia is much less of a formal ity than among the neighboring tribes, betrothal being unnecessary, and very often the parents know nothing of the marriage" says a writer in the Geo. graphical Journal. Tn the old days, before they came under the govern ment, marriage by capture was com- mon, the abduction being done In canoes. In fact, the lake tribes seem ed to be continually raiding each other. and among fellow tribesmen, too, cap turing sheep, goats and women. Often raids would be made on Wa-Wisa vn- lages on the banks of the rivers. The raiders, waiting till the men of the will lage were out, would approach in their canoes and catch all the women they could. AS the rule of Europeans, with European law, gets a firmer hold this marriage by capture will presumably give way entirely to the common method of marriage by barter. The local value of a woman is one sheep (market value about 75 cents). In the case of a 'nafumo.' who was killed, compensation was fixed at one canoe, one sheep and a string of beads"

A Fathers Last Question.

A New York business man suddenly said to his daughter, Helen, have been good father to you?" Certain. ly you have. Why do you ask such a question:" she answered.

It was only casa Of heart failure, with noth. ing supernatural about it. Yet some times 1t seems as if Death sent a se- cret messenger ahead to warn the spirit of his coming, and the soul thus warned rises and awaits the Presence standing.

RAILROAD ENGINEERS
 STRIKE IS POSTPONED
Action of Knapp and NeII De-
 lays "CdII Out."

Orders which were to call out loco motive engineers of the fifty railroads east of Chicago and north of the Ohio river were postponed by the prompt action of Martin A. Knapp, president judge of the United States commerce court, and Charles P. Neill, United States commissioner of labor.
 Three hours after Warren S. Stone and the chiefs of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers had announced that the strike which would cripple the east and New England would be on so soon as the orders could be carried out, the two government representa- dves arrested action by a tender of their services in mediation. This offer was received with favor by MT. Stone and his aids, who held their advisory committee of fifty chairmen, one man from each railroad, in the city. Cap tain J. c. Stuart, vice president of the Erie railroad and chairman of the con- ference committee of railroad man. agers which had been dealing with the union men since January, declared that the proposition was satisfactory to the railroads.
 There is no doubt that a peaceable way out of the difficulty, without fore ing either side to back down, was af- forded by the offer of the government men.

How the Name "rurnooat" Started.


 The opprObrious epithet, turncoat, took it's rise from one of the first dukes of Savoy, whose dominions lying open to the incursions of the two contending houses of Spain and France he was obliged to temporize and fall in with that power that was most likely to dis tress him, according to the success of their arms, one against the other. So, being frequently obliged to change sides, he humorously got a coat made that was blue on one side and white on the other and might be indifferently worn either side out. While in the Spanish interest he wore the blue side out, and the white side was the badge for the French; hence he was called Emanuel, surnamed the Turncoat, by way of distinguishing him from other princes of the same name of that house.-C.

the bonds are to be issued, if ap- proved by majority of the voters. The ordinance must also state the sum total of the bonds to be issued, and the dates of their maturity, and must fix the date of the election so that it will not occur earlier than 60 days after the adoption of the ordi- nance.
 The mayor is required to give mo- tice of the election by an advertise ment appearing at least four times in some newspaper published in the city, the last publication to be not less than 90 days before the election.
 Further safeguards are provided after the vEers have cast their bal lates. The amendment provides that the votes shall be canvassed by the mayer and the Board of Public Af- fairs, if there be a Board of Public Affairs. If there is no Board of Pub lie Affairs, the votes shall be can vassed by the mayor and by three qualified electors of the city who are owners of property and who shall be selected by the county judge of the county in which the city or town is located.
 The amendment also provides that the election must be held at the same precincts and with judges ard clerks as other city elections are held, and under the generla election laws. The object of those who drafted the amendment it is declared, was tc make it not only possible but certain that the public should be thoroughly advised through all proper channels of the time of the election, the places where the coils will be located and the purpose to which the proceeds oi the proposed bond issue, if voted will be applied.
