Special Correspondence . 1
The government, through its board of
awards, has been giving out contracts
recently for department supplies. Many
business houses in Washington make
their chief profit selling.goods to Uncle
Sam. They get a good price for them,
too, notwithstanding he is the 'biggest
buyer in the country. In a fair compe
tition the government gets a great deal
me oetter or, any individual buyer, but
the board of awards has to be on the
watch all the time for bogus bids and
combinations. Invariably, for example,
there is a combination of ice dealers in
the District of Columbia to divide up
the government contracta Naturally
.you would expect the board to advertise
in lump for so many tons of ice, more
or less, for use in all the departments
and to give the contract to the lowest
bidder. No ; the advertisement specifies
that separate bids will be' received for
each department.
The Shrewd Icemen.
The ice dealers get together and di
vide the spoils. One company is to be
the lowest bidder for this contract, an
other the lowest bidder for that con
tract. All of them make a show of bid
ding, but each puts its bid too high on
all but the contracts assigned to it by
tne conference. The agricultural de'
partment, the Smithsonian institute
and the fish commission are side by side
on the Mall, but one pays 27 cents,
one 25 cents and one 30 cents Tor ice.
At intervals some one pries into the
matter and makes a fuss about the com
bination. But he excites no virtuous in
dignation here. The public conscience
at Washington is not very sensitive
about money taken from the public
treasury.
Worthington Ford, chief of the bu
reau of statistics here, wrote maga
zine article recently about the indiffer
ence of Americans to the honest observ
ance of the customs regulations. He
found when he returned from England
that most of his fellow passengers
thought it clever to defraud the treas
ury of duty on articles they had pur
chased abroad. The same indifference
to the government's claims is to be
found here in the departments. Men
who are scrupulously exact in their
dealings with other men will stoop to
any small trick to get ahead of the government.
Tne Extra Work Steal.
There was once a harvest time for
men of that kind. Just before adjourn
ment of congress resolutions to author
ize extra work were rushed through the
senate and house. "Indexing" and
"compiling, " this work was called usu
ally. It was merely part of the office
work which should have been done in
the regular course by the salaried clerks. ,
Instead of requiring the clerks to do
this work the resolutions would author
ize that it be done under contract with
some one. This contract would be gi
en to the office clerks who were draw
ing salaries of $1,800 to $2,500 a year.
Under the contract each of them would
receive $500 or $1,000 extra for this
"special" work, which was done inva
riably in regular office hours. The whole
thing was an imposition plainly.
Those good old days are gone. Not so
many years ago a senator who objected
to this system was called a demagogue.
Now there are so many senators and
members keeping an eye on appropria
tions that there is keen competition to
see who will be first to expose a ' 'job. "
Speaking of jobs, I xrften wonder why
senators do not realize the folly of put
ting their sons on the government's pay
roll. Fully one-third of them appoint
their sons committee clerks or private
secretaries at salaries ranging from $6
a day upward. Doing So, they unfit
them for usefulness in after years.
The Sons of Senators.
These senators' sons are now at home
or at the summer resorts spending their
salaries on idle amusements. When their
fathers go out of public life, most of
these young men will not know how to
earn an honest living. The departments
are full of just such people. Only a lit
tle while ago a son of President Tyler
died in Washington poor and neglected.
He had been . his father's secretary in
the White House. For many years aft
erward he was a department clerk, and
when he lost his government job he
lived in poverty, supported by his pen
sion as a veteran of the Mexican war.
When the Christian Endeavor dele
gates were here recently, several thou
sand of them climbed the steps inside the
Washington monument and then came
running down breathless. It is hard to
understand this more than Alpine am
bition. There is a big elevator running
up and down at convenient intervals,
and, except when the crowds are extraor
dinary, it can carry all who want to
travel in it.
The people who walk are the people
who do so much damage to the monu
ment. The vandal who wants a piece or
the monument to carry home has spoil
ed some of the finest memorial stones.
Many of these, fortunately, are so high
in the wall that they cannot De reacnea
without a stepladder, but many of the
finest are on a level wiin tne seeps.
These have been broken and chipped,
and the metal letters have been dug out
tA them. At the bottom of the great
shaft, too, the stone has been chipped
at the four corners as high as the hand
will reach. Most of this chipping was
before the monument was com
Tileted: There was a long period, when
the popular subscriptions had ceased to
come- in, before congress took hold of
the work,' when the. monument stood

It, was gay to go into the lively Flor
entine streets with the postprandial
cigar; to roam recklessly for awhile
among palaces, churches and slums ; or
to watch the stars and lamplights in the
Arno from Taddeo Gaddi's quaint old
bridge, with its shops and crowds of
passengers. The evening air here in
spring is often keen, thanks to the snow
on the distant mountains, but it always
reaches the lungs with a "cachet" of
purity upon it that the dead dogs visible
in the Arno by daylight may appear
upon the whole to belie. The pensions
and hotels of Lung' Arno after the din- i
ner hour exhale an air of fascinating
frivolity. One beholds illuminated
drawing rooms and gleaming shoulders,
and there is a clang of merry voices.
Musio, top, floats hence toward the glid
ing water, and whispers descend from
amorous couples nestled in the balconies,
with hearts steeped in the romance of
their surroundings. And music ascends
also to these lovemakers, for the omni

them out and serenades them one by
one as fervently as a thrush its mate.

An Odd Family.
The world is full of strange folks!
I met with a sadly odd family lately
father, mother and two children
who live together in a village where,
country fashion, their affairs are public
property.
The mother, a good looking young
woman, who passes for a sane person,
does not allow her two little girls, who
are nearly of an age, to associate with
each" other.
She keeps them apart, as far as that
can be, while they live in the same
house, and she will not let them speak
to one another.
In addition to this, she has invented
a sort of language which the father
does not understand, in which she con
verses with the children.
She lives with her husband, but she
does not like him or the eldest child,
whom she neglects in all ways beyond
keeping it clothed and fed.
Save in the matters mentioned, this
unnatural mother seems sane. Polly
Pry in New York Recorder.
With a Moral.
A significant little story comes from
the south of England. Three wealthy
old ladies who lived in considerable
state were accustomed to rely in every
difficulty upon their butler, who was
what is known as a "treasure." The
individual one day gave a month's
warning and utter dismay fell on the
three spinsters. At length, they decided
that in order to retain his services one
of them must marry him, and the
youngest was chosen for his bride. So
the servitor in due time became master
of the house with an ample fortune. As
years passed the old ladies died, one aft
er another, and finally the ci-devant
butler was left with a very large in
come. Naturally, the country folk
fought rather shy of the good man, and,
as it happened, only one neighbor was
even tolerably civil and hospitable.
When the butler died, it was found that
he had left his entire fortune, amount
ing to over 12,000 a year, to the eldest
son of his kindly neighbor. New York
Times.
Modern Art Taxidermy.
In the methods now used in taxidermy
the word "stuffing" is a misnomer
The method employed is called dormo
plastic and consists in enveloping a
skeleton or framework with tow wrapped
and sewed into a rough approximation
of the shape required with pack thread
or cord and coating the whole with
clay, afterward to be modeled into the
forms required. Upon this the skin is
stretched and made to conform in every
particular. There is, therefore, no dif
ference in the requirements of the best
work in sculpture and taxidermy, except
that one is principally employed in
treating the human figure and the other
ex61usively the forms of animals.

Snow In Jane.
Snow on the 16th day of June in thi3
latitude is a rather uncommon occu. -rence,
but Pittsburg, according to the
weather makers and prophetx who bold
forth at the top of the federal building,
enjoyed a real .snowstorm for about tn
minutes recently. It is a phenomenon
easily explained, according to tho
weather man, and is not a presage of
cold weather.
The snowfall occurred at 12:47 in
the afternoon. At that time a num
ber of heavy clouds were floating over
the city, and a few big drop (1f rain Ix
gan to fall. They were of such size that
people on the streets remarked about
them, and the crop managers at the
weather office hurried out on tho roof
to see what they could see. A umiiUt
of big, fleecy flakes of snow were fall
ing and melting as soon aa they struc k
the roof, if not sooner. Farmer Ashley
shivered as he thought of the crops and
his gone overcoat He explained the
phenomenon by saying that away up
inlhe upper atmosphere somewhere it
was trying to snow. The temperature
of the earth was but 70 degrees. The
snowflakes were so big and heavy that
they came clear down to earth be
fore they melted. He did not consider
it any more remarkable that it should
snow than that it' should hail. Pitts

He Believes In Dreams.
"I never was a believer in dreams, "
said Mr. W. W. Price of Virginia at the
Metropolitan, "but my skepticism "Isn't
nearly so strong now as it was up to a
very recent date. The other night I had
a vivid dream of seeing my little 5-year-old
son fall down a steep mountain
side. The vision was so realistic that I
cried out in my sleep, and on waking
was greatly overjoyed to find out that it
was only a dream. Two days later,
while in my office, a colored servant
rushed in out of breath and said: 'You
are wanted up at home right quick.
Eddie has had a bad fall. '
"You can imagine that I lost no time
getting in a hack and was driven to my
residence as fast as the horses could be
urged. All the way there my dream was
passing through my mind, and the
memory of it was exquisite torment
Well, Eddie had tumbled out of a sec
ond story window to the hard concrete
of the area, a fall of fully 25 feet and
how the little chap escaped with his
life seemed a miracle. As it was, be
yond a few slight bruises, ho wasn't
the worse for the accident. Hereafter I
am not in the list of the dream scoff
ers." Washington Post

The Three Horse Fire Team.
Fire department drivers say that it is
but little, if any, more difficult to drive
a three horse team than it is to drive a
team of two horses. It takes more
strength to pull a three horse team up
short, but otherwise the three horse
team is about as easily handled, so far
as the actual driving is concerned, as
one of two horses. The hardest place for
the horse in the three horse team is in
the middle, and any mishap to the mid
dle horse makes the most trouble. So it
is customary in making up a three horse
team to put the best and most intelli
gent and surest footed horse in the cen
ter. New York Sun.

Eneland who had bought a pair of
shoes of a fashionable dealer carried
them back soon with a protest. 'Look
here!' he said, 'I've had these shoes on
ly two weeks, and they are completely
out of shape andy the leather is giving
way in two places. l he Englishman
looked at the shoes an instant 'Dear
me! Dear me!' he said. 'You have been
walking in those shoes!' 'Walking in
them? WAt else should I do with
them?' -'TaVit's it, sir! Our shoes are
made only for carriage people, sir.
And the dealer loftily bowed the Amer
ican out of the shop. ' '

In flowers for the table the favorite
coloring for the hot season is pink ; it is
fresh nnd a certain amount of light is
attached to it without being sugptive
of heat. That Ls a point which is not
always observed, and yet there are !onie
colors which make one find decidedly
hotter than others.
Buttonhole bouquets are not large this
year, "but are very generally worn, and

It Cured Him.
Just before the last general election
in England a candidate for parliament,
in the course of a speech, referred to the
flogging of children. "Some folks now
adays," he said, "object to beating
youngsters at all, but I agree' with the
truth conveyed in that saying of the
wise man, 'Spare the rod and spoil the
child. ' I suppose I was no worse than
other boys," he went on to say, "but I
know I had some flogging myself, and
I believe it did me good. Now, on one
occasion, I was flogged for telling the
troth." "It cured you, sir," said a
voice at the back. New York Tribune.
The months of May and Jane are

An Idea In Xakinff Lunch Clotha.
Here is a nice idea from The Ladii-s'
Homo Companion for cloths to put upon
small tables. Use four gentlemen's
hemstitched handkerchiefs of large size.
Join these with heavy linen insertion
and put heavy linen lace around the
edge. These, are easily laundered, are
always fresh and clean looking and do
not collect dust. The round thnad linen
la a good material for Innch cloths, and
It is well to try piece before buying, as
some lineiis wash slhnsy.
