Salaries Paid to Principal
Officers of United States

The salaries of the principal officers
of the United States government are as
follows: The president, $4,000 year !;
vice president, $4,000; members of the
cabinet, $1,000; representatives in
congress, $500; speaker Of the house,
$4,000; United States senators, ST.
500; chief justice Of supreme court,
$4,000; each associate justice, $14,500.
In the diplomatic service twelve am
bassadors are each paid ST., 800 year ;
five ministers are each paid $4,000,
and % ministers are each paid $4,000.
An authority says: ut is a matter of
common knowledge that certain posts,
especially in the diplomatic service, en-
tail expenses so much in excess of the
salary paid that they can be accepted
only by men of wealth. A recent Sec
Rotary of state who did not maintain
an elaborate establishment, said that
his four years in Office cost him $4,000
in excess of the salary which he re-
ceived."

Decorative Wall Paper
First Appeared in Europe
During Seventeenth Century

Among many other and useful beau
tiful things for which we are indebted
to the Chinese, wall paper is not the
least, notes a writer in the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. This decorative paper for
walls seems to have first appeared in
Europe toward the end of the seven
teenth century. 1t was brought to
France by overseas traders, and the
French Immediately perceived the pos
sibilities thus offered. The paper did
not come in rolls, as we have it today,
but in sheets about three and one-half
feet wide by ten feet in length. Some
Of the finest grades were printed by
hand and the cheaper grades from
wooden blocks. The patterns represent
ed animals, temples, warriors and all
the other familiar figures of Chinese
art. The French called these new wall
coverings ''pagoda papers," and it soon
became the fashion to have at least
one or two rooms in every home of any
pretensions finished with 'pagoda pa
pers."
Throughout the eighteenth century
the custom gradually spread. Both in
France and England there were adap-
tations of the Chinese idea. There is
record of wall paper in England as
far back as the time of Henry VIII,
when the inventory Of monastery in
cluded chamber hangings of painted
papers," There are now in existence
examples of English wall paper from
the reign of Charles II.
Some of the early attempts in the
manufacture of wall paper are highly
interesting. Tapestries were the ele-
CANT wall coverings through the renais-
sance, as they have been during the
middle ages. But tapestries were ex-
pensive and beyond the reach of Ordi-
nary persons. So a good citizen of
Rouen named LIE Francois hit upon the
idea of initiating tapestries. He had
fanciful drawings made in the tapestry
style on large pieces of paper pasted
together in about the size of tapes
try. Upon these drawings LIE Fran
co.'s spread kind of mucilage and
then sprinkled the mucilage with pow
dered wool in different colors. spa
pier volute," as it was called, then
came into general usage.

FOR The POULTRY
GROWER

Fowls, like pigs, do the best and
make the most rapid growth all
through the summer season, if plenty
Of tender green feed is provided, says
a writer. Even in towns and villages
where there is plenty of space, this
green feed can be provided in abun-
dance for the poultry. 1t is, however,
on the farms, both large and small,
and where large fiocks of fowls are
kept, that this green feed should be
provided.
As the fowls are, or should be, ex-
cluded from the gardens and truck
patches at all seasons, some other spot
must be used for providing the green
feed. The two crops to sow period
ically are rape and oats. Many poul-
try breeders provide these, but make
only one sowing and that about April
and May. Repeated sowings for a
regular succession of fresh, tender
stuff is recommended.
As the early sowing of both oats
and rape is now growing scarce and
getting tough replow the ground and
resow again in August. The larger
the young chickens get, the more they
will eat of such tender green feed and
as it is both cheap and healthful, the
more expensive feeds are saved.
The idea is to produce mature poul-
try and an abundance of eggs at the
minimum of expense, and the work
of providing green feed must be be-
gun early and continued all through
the growing season.

INSURANCE FOR
FRENCH PO|LUS
Poorly Paid Soldiers Do Not
Have to Pay Premium Bet
ter Treatment.

PARIS, July 1.-THE French poilus
who, at the Marine, saved Paris ana
the world and were paid only a penny
a day for their services. are now TO
receive slightly better financial treat
ment.
An insurance law has been borught
before the French chamber OF p
ties which will give each soldier a
small compensation at h end OF the
war, or will compensate his heirs IL he
Is killed.
The insurance offered will be very
small as compared with the $4,000
policy the Yanks can take out, but on
the other hand the policy viii be
given to each soldier without requir-
ing him to pay premiums.
It would, in fact be impossible for
the poilu to meet an insurance pre-
MUM out of his present pay. n
months of the war was later increased
to S cents a day and has e still fur
tner increased since. II remains, how
ever, about a fourth of what the
Yanks are getting.
The proposed law will grant to each
soldier serving at the front a policy OF
5000 and to each man called for ser
vice behind the lines q policy of $lOO.
These policies will be payable to the
soldiers heirs within a month after
his death. If the soldier survives, the
insurance will be paid to him within
three months after the end of h war,
IL he can show hat 1t will be used for
necessary purchases in connection
with the resumption OF his trade or
profession.

be at least a step in the right dfrec-
