Uncle 8am'e psy roll, as everybody; knows, is long and calls for carloads ' of money. In his Chicago Record- Herald correspondence William E. - Curtis presents some interesting data upon It. Excluding all Irregulars but including pensioners, soldiers and sail ors, the roll contains 1.121. ill names. Of these slightly over a million be LJ to the tremendous and ever V growing army of pensioners. In the . executive civil service are IK. 902 em ployes. Including 11,111 women. In , the postal service are 11.611 employes, besides IM1 postmasters; iMechan- Ics and laborers In nmvy yards number lt.ITf and Panama Canal employes 10,000. It is Washington, of course, which (Ms imposing pay roll treats most kindly. Of the executive civil service employes 1I.4X are employed In the District of Columbia and last year they drew salaries of tl. 025,000 a month or $11, HI, 225 for the year. This 'total does not Include very large ' sums derived from other divisions of the pay roll along with tne rest of the country dlfproportlonately large ln Washington's case. Hence It co.mes , about that Washington Is the most - uniformly prosperous city In the r country. Uncle Sam is a paymaster ; who shows himself the same in good! times and bad. No matter what may happen In trade and industry there are no discharges in the government forces and neither reduction nor delay in the pay', Though the salary list ; has not been advanced In keeping With the increased cost of' living4 everywhere. It Is still high higher, Mr. Curt Is thinks, than the average compensation of the inhabitants of any other city In the world. The winter colony of wealthy people who have ' built Washington homes also . contribute much to the city's beauty and prosperity, although "It Is a ' ' popular lmprcsloir that they have as- i slated to advance the price of meats. vegetables, poultry, eggs and other necessaries as well as luxuries of life, and have caused -' considerable ' de moralisation In the wrs of the house servant class." From all of which It may be seen that ITaohlngton Is In many respects a peculiarly favored elty." Uncle Sam Is the prince of paymas ters.

The resignation of John Sharp Wil liams as House Democratic leader, al though placed by him upon the ground of timeliness from a party standpoint and made Inevitable before very long by bis nomination for the Senate, naturally suggests the Idea that he doesn't wish to be mixed up in the approaching campaign any more than necessary.

The distinction between the New York exchange and bucket shops or "wire houses" may cut rather Jlne, but the New Orleans exchange cannot Justly be placed In this category. Doubtless the New Or leans people will make the few and comparatively slight reforms asked by spot interests without any direct com pulsion at all.

Odor of Gasolene and the Unsympa thetic Majestic Person. Youth's Companion. - With a dubious sniff at her waist, Just cleaned with gasolene, Mrs. Lloyd lipped into it and went to hear the famous lecturer at 'the woman's club. The assembly hall was packed when she arrived only standing room left but' one might perhaps catch a sen tence now and then, enough to help one to appear intelligent at the recep tion to be given the celebrity after the lecture was done; so Mrs. Lloyd edged her way Into the crowd and paused under the wing of a majestio looking woman In an elaborate mauve gown. As the lecture had not begun, Mrs. Lloyd had leisure to notice and feel a quick, suspicious glance from the ma jestio stranger, and immediately after that she realised to her horror that stpalthy fumes of gasolene were rising about her. '''The closeness and heat ot the place must have brought it out again. With her dainty nose elevated he anxiously Inhaled the odor, try ing to decide Just how'toad It man, and at the same time she fancied that the majestic person drew away slightly, ostentatiously dilating her own nos trils. "Perhaps I Imagine it after all," thought Mrs. Lloyd. And acting on Impulse she whispered to her haughty: neighbor, "I beg pardon, but do you notice the odor of gasolene?" , A surprised glare was the only an swer, and Mrs. Lloyd felt constrained to add: "My excuse for mentioning It Is that wo fc.nn.n. tn h r..- tnipthar I have a 'friend who say 'gasolen smells of poverty, and while I don t Z. .

On the afternoon of May 15th I by chance discovered in a hedge near where I was at work In my garden a hedge' sparrow's nest containing three eggs. For a couple of hour. or so previous to this find I bad noticed the appearance and re appearance of a cuckoo in the earn corner mf the garden- On finding the nest It at once struck me that the cuckoj probably had business to transact at this -par tlcular nest and' that I by my near presenoe was unwittingly, preventing It being carried out. I accordingly retired some 100 feet distant and sat down with a pair of opera glasses to watch events. In a few minutes the cuckoo was back and In the nest On emerging at, the end., of about a minute it perched a short distance from the nest, with one of the hedge parrow'a eggs In It beak. This It proceeded to break ti? and, I think, eat Shortly afterward It flew away. On going to the nest I found there the cuckoo' egg and thetwo.re malnlng sparrow's eggs. 1 alsfo picked up th shell of the third parrow's egg. ' The following points are of In terest: The nest was apparently known to the cuckoo before its visit on this particular afternoon.
