Common-Sense Law.

In summarizing the benefits accruing to
the established system, Mr.. Dick said.
THE civil service law is the application
of common sense and common honesty to
the public service. tenure of Office de-
pendent upon good behavior and with a
hope of promotion are the two strongest
incentives to good efficient work. 1t is
well at this time to recall the fact that
the heads Of all the executive depart
ments have for many years without nota-
BILE exception borne vigorous testimony to
the increased efficiency in the public serv-
ice brought about by the civil service
system.
The executive departments are mere
ly branches of big business, which
should be run on business principles.
From that standpoint, nothing could be
more absurd than a five-year term of
employment. Who would deposit his
money in bank whose management an
nounced as it's policy that it would dis
miss it's employees every five years. Who
would intrust his life to a railroad oper-
ated upon such system?
The proposition is indefensible, I'M
businesslike and demoralizing.''

A Kings Rebuke.

The queen of Wurttemberg was one
day walking In the streets of Stuttgart
attended by a maid Of honor, when she
met a body Of students who refused
to make room for the ladies', and thus
compelled them to walk In the gutter.
The queen reported the matter to the
king, and the next day the captain of
the corps Suevia was summoned to
the palace. A servan led him into a
room where there were no chairs, and
there the unfortunate student had to
wait a full hour. At last the king ap-
peared, and finally the young man was
dismissed by him thus: II cannot de
mand that every student should know
my vile, but | do demand that the
corps Suevia give place In the streets
to ladies'"

Drunken Monkeys.

According to a letter from the Kongo
region on the west coast of Africa, the
monkeys there are inordinately fond Of
a kind Of beer made by the natives.
who use the beverage to capture their
poor relations. Having placed quaint
ties of the beer where the monkeys a
get at it, the natives wait until their
victims are in various degrees OF inebri-
alton. and when they then mingle with
them the poor creatures are too much
fuddled to recognize the difference be-
tween negro and ape. When a negro
takes the hand of one of them to lead
him off. some other fond creature clings
to the hand Of the latter one and an
other one to his hand. Thus a single
negro may sometimes be seen carrying
off a string of staggering monkeys.
When secured the beer is administered

Why He Got to the Mosque First.

There Is a Turkish legend to the eff
Feet that If a man prays seven ons
cutive mornings alone In the mosque
for good luck it will come. Near st.
Sophia mosque, Constantinople. a poor
man lived who tried to carry out the
injunction, but when he kneeled, to his
chagrin, he always saw another man
who had arrived first. The fourth
morning he could restrain himself no
longer and cried out: What is the Sc
cret Of your getting to the mosque
first? I get up early and lose no time"
The other man asked. How many
wives have you?' When he answer
ed Zone" the fortunate man said:
"You can never get to the mosque ear
lier than /, for / have four wives.
When / wake up n brings me my
clothes, another gets my shoes, a third
prepares my bath. and the fourth
cooks breakfast. The result Is l lose
no time. Now, my friend, go at once
and marry three other wives, and you
will know the secret Of my arriving
first at the mosque"
The poor Turk followed the advice,
and very soOn he knew why the man
with four wives got to the mosque

James Russell Lowell was a great
favorite In the literary circles Of Lon

quet the peculiarities Of American
speech were discussed with English
bluntness. Lord S. called to Mr.. Lowell
loudly, so as to silence all other speak
ers:
There is one new expression invent
ed by your countrymen so foolish and
vulgar as to be objectionable. They
talk OF the ashes of the dead We
don't burn corpses. No Englishman
would use a phrase so absurd"
"And yet" said MI. Lowell gently,

dead:
