' \; v .. . v - -, . .?*.*? 1 Secretary Chase Appointed tbe First One in His Department in 1861. The death of General Spinner gave rise to the suggestion that the women of the country should erect a monument to his v jyand for the,- reason that to him is McrecSt due of -first giving employment to women In the treasury department. General Spinner died with many claims to the public gratitude, but he did not origin? ate the practice of employing women as clerks ia. the departments. The first ap? pointee Seas.-Miss R. L Wilson. She was appointer! by Secretary Chase, Sept. 15. 1861, upon hts own motion, and assigned to duty in that branch of the treasury which is known as "the secretary's office.7' . The second appointment, of Miss H. C. Kellar, was made April 4, 18G2. She was assigned to duty in the secretary's office, but in the. month of October, 1862, she was \ transferred to the treasurer's bureau, and at the same time two additional appoint pointmeots were made by the secretary, and the appointees were assigned to duty tinder the treasurer. Io the years ISG1-?-S. there were only twelve women appointed in the treasury department. Of t hese one was in the secre? tary's office, five, including one transferred, were in the treasury, four were in the regis? ter's burei.u, and two were in the internal revenue office. All these appointments were made by Secretary Chase; hut two of them, one of April 4, 1SG2, and one of July 18-, 1863, were supported by the recommen? dation of General Spinner. As the appointments were made by Secre? tary Chase, and as t he first one, which ante dates the second by thirteen months, was made upon Lis own motion, and as he then had the power to exclude women altogether, the chief credit would seem to be due to him. lt is a tradition of thc department, .supported, indeed, by the knowledge of .many persons, that General Spinner was an .early and earnest advocare of the new policy, but it is also true that the twe ~*i x>omeo employed in the years named gu ? such proofs of intelligence, fidelity and capacity that the exclusion of thc sex be? came an impossibility. The fact may be worthy of notice, and especially wort h j of notice by those who have been led to believe that it is the first and chief business of every administration . to make removals, that, of the twelve women appointed previous to Jan. 1,1564. len are even now in. office. Two of these are paid a salary of $900 each, six are upon a salary of ?1,200 each, and of the two re? maining one receives a ?dary of S1,C00 ami the other a salary of il, SOO. In those thirty years the number of women.employed hythe government has increased to many thousands. lu all the various duties imposed upon them they have shown adequate capacity, and in faith? fulness they are not inferior tc the men who are engaged in similar services. It may be assumed that each year will en? large the sphere of their labors and add to their compensation, which, speaking gen? erally, is not equal to the pay of men en? gaged ia corresponding work.-Geo. S. Boa t well in Boston Globe. *>w - ... Msk'iB^ Water Orop? J?ump. If we let a drop of - water fall ou a leaf of paper it will spread out in a large circle, abd we then say that the water soaks into the p* per. But if we have oiled this paper or plastered -it with lampblack or some other substance into which water does not soak, the drops will roll over the paper like a ball, slightly flattened. Use is made of this peculiarity in the trick which is de? scribed herewith. . Take a strip of paper pretty strong in texture a trifle wider than four feches and as long as you can get. Several' pieces of paper pasted end to end will do. Pass the paper over the smoking dame of a lamp, or, to do away with all odor, cover one side of the paper with plumbago. Pince on end on the ia?le several books of gradually de? creasing size. Spread over their backs the strip of pa? per, having a care to make the undulations more and more accentuated as you go from the large lxx>k toward the small ones. At the end of the little book let the strip of paper fall i | o a plate. At the other end, where the large book stands, pour thc wa tet, drop-by..drop, on thc papex. These drops will roll oa the inclined plane which they meet; then, in conse? quence cf the xnouteutum acquired, will mount over the back of the second bo^k, and thus following one another they will reach x thc plate. The spectacle of these drops of water rising anti falling by turns, and seeming to compete in liveliness with each other. Ls most curious.-Buffalo Ex? press. _' * V<-?<-?L tIon I>i?-t fa Sickness.

Sow look at Chis little blue bag. once belonging to Queer: Charlotte, and vague? ly described ns tnade ?T although It^is to all appearnnee knitted with.silk, possi? bly by the queen herself, who-was fond of this occupation. The blue web ground is divided into lozenges by crossed rows of gold beads, md in each diamond a white fleur de lis is inserted, according to the Scotch knitting, being relieved with a double bar of the gold beads, employed also for the motto "Amitie" (friendship), inscribed in capita] letters across the top. Thus in this receptacle we find specimens of stockinr Vaued and inlaid knitting. A quire uiiTctenV decoration eau be seen in the handkerchief sachet made by Queen Adelaide. On the white satto foundation, now mellowed by time, creeps a spray of fragrant roses; each raised bloom is deftly fashioned with white crepe, and Cleverly blended with buds embroidered with silk and chenille foliage. What, indeed, can be said of the christening robe of Princess Amelia! It cannot certainly bear compari? son with the ex(jStisite creations of our days, uer does i weall for any outburst of delight and wonder from visitors; yet it has a cachet of its own, and therefore de serves to be noticed fenrits originality. , ?lade in ivory satin, the robe displays no pretty and fanciful stitches, bat narrow gimp and rather heavy ruchings en relief in satin ribbons with picot edges, con? cocted in three different ways, to which gimust be added satin flounces edged with ^pjakin? and perforated with a small de lsi?n; among these various devices nestle ffy rosettes composed of twisted strands i silk and fly tufts somewhat like a daisy fi inge. -Queen.

" ?.Now w&?V* mused I ?may be the nat urft of fc 'S$$d soccer 'V As one-lives t?" ?learn J vbethought me that it'might be as weil to find out by ex perience. When the guests had all assembled in Miss Dollie's spacious parlors they were informed that twenty smail articles had . been hidden in vari?os places in the par torr aud~4?H^and*a" list of them was read aloud. They consisted of various toys, scissors, knives, watch keys, whistles und a number of small boxes lilied with tiny bonbons. There were two first prises, one to be, givens to- the lady, the other to the gexi^mae finding the greatest number of articles^- For the first was a qn^it- little coffee sooon- wtb- gold bowl and -curiously wrought oxidized handle; a photograph holder was to reward like skill on the part of some gentleman. Should any one fail to find a single article he or she was to be rewarded with a booby prize. Then the fun began. From vases'and rose jars, f rom folds of portieres and win? dow curtains, from .'beneath low easy chairs and hassocks, from behind pictures, . and in short from all likely and unlikely places, some of them having been stowed away with an ingenuity that was almost diabolical, the "lost" things were brought to light and reported to the committee un? til bet one small article remained unfound -th? tiny gold thimble that fitted, but sel aom adorned, Miss Dollie's pretty pink digit. This was finally discovered ia the.| hat of one of the guests which bung inno cesliy in the proper place on the hat rack. -New York Herald. Cooling Off the Old Love. An Arab woman, when left a widow, mourns her husband devoutly, but, like other widows, if she has the opportunity she may be married again. The night be? fore her second inarr?ge she pays a visit to her husband's grave. There she kneels and. prays him not to be offended. As, however, she feels he will be offended, the widow brings with her a donkey laden with two goatskins filled with water. The prayer ended, she proceeds to pour the water oh the grave to keep the first hus? band cool under the circumstances about to take place, and having well saturated bim she then departs.-Iowa State Register. Vaseline for ?ore Throat. For a sore or raw throat without much inflammation an excellent, soothing, emol? lient application is vaseline. A mass the size of a hazel nut should l>e taken into the mouth, and as it melts, which it does al? most instantly, it should be allowed to trickle slowly back and down the throat. The finishing of a dress is the most im? portant part. Nothing is more unsatis? factory than a dress only half put together.

Miss Frances Willard's long practice in presiding at public meetings has given her an ease of manner in the chair that many a man might envy.

Wheo solicited to insure in other Companies remember that The Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, is eu titled to your FIRST consideration, since it holds the foremost place among the Life Insurance institutions of the world, and offers superior advantages io all the features of business, together with unequaled financial security. 1-It is the oldest active Life Insur? ance Company in the country. 2.-It is the largest Life Insuraooe Company in the world. 3 -It is the strongest financial in? stitution in the world, its assets amounting to more than $136,000,000. 4. -It is the safest company in which to insure. 5. -It is the cheapest company in which to insure. Its large dividend returns reduce the final cost of insur? ance to a minimum. 6 -It is the best company in which to insure, as it combines all the ad? vantages of age, large and seleot mem? bership, financial strength, absolute security, and the cheapest insurance that is honestly possible under any con? tract which has a definite value to the beneficiary. 7.-lt has no stockholders to claim any part of the profits. The assets and surplus all belong to the insured. 8-Its ratio of expenses to receipts shows economic management. 9 -hs new policy is the most liberal ever offered by aDy insurance company 10. -It places no restrictions upon travel, occupation or residence after be? ing two years in force. 11. -Being practically non-forfeitable and incontestable, it provides a legacy and not a lawsuit. 12 -It is the simplest and most com? prehensive form of insurance contract ever issued. If the policy-bolder pays his premium? while he lives, the com? pany will pay the full value of his policy when be dies. 13.-All claims are paid immediately upon acceptance of proofs of death. 14 -The distribution policy of this company presents a most attractive in? vestment feature. It not only accumu? lates the surplus arising from the premi? ums over the cost of the insurance on each policy in force during the distri? bution period, but increases it by com? pound interest.
