Speaker Reed is never so happy or never appears to a better advantage than when confeetion- | vy 1t uud bo | | about it, but quietl he is engaged in relating one of his best stories to an appreciative audience, says the Washington Post. A few days ago the speaker entertained a small coterie of congressmen during alull in the house F““ cedings with a highly interesting il- ustration of the present mode of select- ing government employes through the civil serviee commission channel. Theap- rluum in the particular case was a young ady of more than ordinary intellect, who had graduated at one of the leading colle honors, She was naturally the least bit nervous when she went to the commis- sioners to have her intellectual dimen- fons taken, but after the first few ques- ns became quite composed, ns she was quite at home on the examination bill- of-fave for that l\zulh'ulur day. The young lady got along nicely until the examiners” struck a branch of the in- quiry which they were pleased to term history. She unswered the first few ques fons readily, but about the fifth dash out of the hox, to use an expression not to be found in the civil service code, was a stumper. It was as follows: “Who is Henry Cabot Lodge, where was he born and by what great ncts in his life has he been distinguished up to the present time?” The young lady, poor thing, hadgnever heard of Lodge, nor formed an acquaint- ance with the incidents of his life, either public or private, and was completely nonplussed. She passed the examina- tion, but her per cent suffered by reason of her ignorance as to Lodge, When Speaker Reed told this story he had for one of his auditors the Massachusetts reform congressman, who aftey coloring deeply, left the group to escape the laugh of his fellow-nuditors and the shaking of the fat sides of the | man from Maine. - COKE FOR LOCOMO It is Being Successtully Used on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad com- pany has successfully solved the question of burning coke in its engines in place of coal, gays the Philadelphia Record. The subject has been under consideration by nunierous other corporations, but herc- tofore no way has been found in which to utilize the coke successfully. About & year ago the Baltimove & Ohio began experimenting with the new fuel, and at first found very little en- couragement. The promoters of the scheme presevered, however, and the management now claim that the problem has been completely solved, and that coke is the future fuel for their express engines. Most of the experiments were conducted on the Pennsylvania division, and six engines on that branch and two on the main line now burn coke ex clusively, the three-hour trainsto Wash- ington heing drawn by coke burners, Many advantages are elaimed for coke. It isasclean a fuel as hard coal and the cost of it will be less than one- half. Besides, the cost of converting soft coal engines into coke-burners is very much less than to prepar them for hard conl, The cost of coke is. of course, somewhat move than soft coal, but the ide that when the fuel is used on the entire line it will cost no more than their present coal. A earefully prepaved coke fire will last longer and give more heat than any coal fi *t made, and by carvefully using these” advantages the management hope to reduce the cost to 9he same level as the bituminous coal. The kind of coke which has been found to answer bestis that which has been burned for thirty-six hours. Not only was it found necessary to change the in- ternal arrangements of the engines in or- der to substitute the colke, but consider able difticulty was found in educating the firemen in their new duties. A man ac- customed to making soft-coal fires y found to be no good with a coke fire. They arevapidly learning, however. The experiments by the company have at- tracted attention throughout the coun- try. The officials point to the three- hour trains between - this city and Wash- ington as fair samples of their success, B ve and Liver Pills, An important discove They act on the liver, stomach and bowels through the A new principle.

At a time when the labor question has umed such an acute form in this country a great amount of interest ought to concentrate on a series of returns just collected by the government of Ontatvio, and which relate to the amount of wages paid in the various trades and the cost of living in that_province, Of the re- turns on which the tables are based 23.- 006 were furnished bv employers and 2752 by employes, says the London Times, The ~ first thing shown is that there has been a gradual shortening of the hours of la- bor, the average number of hours per week being 58,24, as compared with 59.10 in 1884, and the average of 58.60 how for the five years 1384-8. There is greater steadiness of employment, the average last year having been 270,07 days, against 265,17 days in 1884, and the average of 268,03 days for the five years 1884-8. Barnings also show an increase, these now averaging $420.07, as com- pared with $383.31 in 1884, and #: us the average of the previous five year: But with all this increase the cost of 1i ing has kept pace, and the surplus of wages over cost of living now averages $50.45 against $48.84 in 1884, and an goof $149.76 for the five years previous. A curious feature of the return is that it shoy y that the cities are not the most desivable places for workmen. It is true that the wages ave higher, but the cost of living is higher in_proportion, and there is o smaller surplus in every case. In the case of the larger cities theve is for *‘males with dependents, tenants”—i, ¢ who do not own their housc 50 close o margin that in London the wages do not come up to the average cost of living by §6.68, und in Hamilton by #3.02, In Toronto they show a surplus of $23.90 - "RANK WHITE WINS $5,000 I MEXICAN LOTTERY, 1Y THE How a8 Clea to“Bee' Route Age a Small Fortune Out of One Dolla A Bee reporter interviewed today (the principal owner of the Sacra- mento Bee's city routes), as ho was dealing out the huge bundlcs of Bees to his score of carriors, “Yes," said the genial, good-na- tured agent, I won 5,000 in the Mexican National Government Lottery of the City of Mexico, in the last drawing, and I reccived my money toauy—in new, crisp United States not “How did T come to purchase the ticket!
