.8ECRETARY SHAW ENERGETIC.
New Head of Treasury Department
Sets a Hot Pace.
Secretary Shaw is the most Indus
trious member of the President's cabi
net, says the Washington correspond
ent of the Brooklyn Eagle. Shortly
aftor he succeeded Lyman J. Gage, Mr.
' Shaw startled the treasury watchman
by appearing at the department one
morning promptly at 8 o'clock. The
doors were unlocked by the wonder
ing attendant, who thought that the
secretary's home clock had Blipped a
cog or two.
The next day Secretary Shaw turned
up at tho same hour, and he has kept
up the practice ever since. Few treas
ury officials are able to maintain the
pace set by their chief. The lattcr's
private secretary, Robert B. Arm
strong, comes nearer doing this than
any of the others, and he manages to
get at his desk somewhere near 8
o'clock eabh morning. Only once he
reported ahead of the secretary, how
ever. The latter gets an early start.
He rises at 6 o'clock every day, eats
his breakfast at 7, and by the time the
hands of the clock point to 8 he is at
the department.
It is safe to say that this is some
thing that no other cabinet officer has
done for more than a few day3 at a
lima.
A new' title of "Doctor Engineer"
has recently been instituted at the
technical high schoo1? in Cermany
for the different classes of engineers
who have obtained the Government di
ploma. Young students, says the
London Telegraph, will have to pass
at least one year in a large engineer
ing establishment where they will be
treated as ordinary employes mixing
with the men, that they may learn
their methods and mode of thought.

Thorough Paced Economy.
A young man living in Cincinnati
fs a close worker in money matters,
that is, he stays close to the shore
with his expenditures. He had the
good luck to marry a girl whose
parents are quite wealthy, and is at
present living with hi3 wife in one
of his father-in-law's houses.
One day not long since, while dis
cussing affairs with a friend, the lat
ter asked:
"Did 2he old gentleman give you
that house?"
"Well-er-no, not exactly," -was the
answer. "He offered it to me, but I
wouldn't accept it."
"How's that?" asked the friend.
"Well," answered the man who had
made the lucky matrimonial venture.
"You see, the house really belongs to
me. I'm living in it, rent free, and
I'll get it when the old man dies, tf
T accepted it now I'd have to pay tho
taxes."
I was troubled with indigestion
and dyspepsia as long as I can re

Since taking Ilipans Tabules I feci
