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.

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?

This diet is of therapeutic importance
in certain diseases. A vegetable diet

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

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

digit. This was finally discovered ia the.|
hat of one of the guests which bung inno

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.

would feel with a single guest in her own

WORTH REMEMBERING !
THE
MUTUAL, EIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY,
OF NEW YORK
RIGHT) A. HeCURDY, Pres.
ASSETS - - - $147,154,961.20
LIABILITIES - - 137,173,727.82
SURPLUS - - - $9,981,233.38
1843. 1890.
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.
