The United States Civil Service Commission announces that while it has no difficulty in securing sufficient female stenographers and typewriters to meet the needs of the departments at Washington, the supply of male eligibles has not been equal to the demand. Young men who are at least 18 years of age and who are willing to accept the usual entrance salaries, which are $840 and $900 a year, have excellent opportunities for appointment. While the entrance salaries are low, advancement is reasonably rapid to those meriting it. The examinations, which any competent stenographer should be able to pass, are held each month in the year except December, at the principal cities of the United States, Full information in regard to the examination may be secured by addressing the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C.; or the District Secretary, Post Office, Boston, Mass., Philadelphia, Pa., Atlanta, Ga., Cincinnati, Ohio, Chicago, Ill., St Paul Minn., Seattle, Wash., San Francisco, Cal.; Customhouse, New York, N.

In answer to a subscriber's question concerning the color of clouds, the Nature and Science department of St. Nicholas says: "White clouds are those which are so thin that sunlight comes through them, or else they are in such a position that the side seen by the observer is lighted by the sunlight. Black clouds are those that are so thick, or dense, that little sunlight passes through them, and at the same time are not illuminated by sunlight on the side seen by the observer. It is these heavy, large clouds that, are most likely to produce rain—St. Nicholas. Cold Cured by Cold. "Without having' gone anywhere near either pole," writes a correspondent of the London Chronicle, "I have had my experience of the fact that intense' cold outside stops the cold in the head. We were six men, essaying to ascend on the Grand Combin, in the Alps (over 14,000 feet). From our first attempt we were driven back by a thunderstorm and a stay of some hours to dry in the hut with the stove going woke up all the microbes. When we returned to the hut next day from the valley, there were at least four severe colds among us, with sneezing and sore throats. On the third morning we traversed our peak slowly cutting snow and ice steps in Weather memorably bitter even for that height. On the other side it suddenly occurred to me that I had no 'cold' left, and the others made the same discovery." SCHOOL TEACHERS. Also Have Things to Learn "For many years I had used coffee and refused to be convinced of its bad effect upon the human system," writes a veteran school teacher. "Ten years ago I was obliged to give up my much-loved work in the public schools after years of continuous labor. I had developed a well defined case of chronic coffee poisoning. "The troubles were constipation, flutterings of the heart, a thumping in the top of my head, and various parts of my body, twitching of my limbs, shaking of my head and, at times after exertion, a general "gone" feeling, with a toper's desire for very strong coffee. I was a nervous wreck for years. "A short time ago friends came to visit us and they brought a package of Postum with them, and urged me to try it. I was prejudiced because some years back I had drunk a cup of weak, tasteless stuff called Postum which I did not like at all. "This time, however, my friends made the Postum according to directions on the package, and it won me. Soon I found myself improving in a most decided fashion. "The odor of boiling coffee no longer tempts me. I am so greatly benefited by Postum that if I continue to improve as I am now, I'll begin to think I have found the Fountain of Perpetual Youth. This is no fancy letter but stubborn facts which I am glad to make known." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Write for a copy of "The Road to Wellville." Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well boiled. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder. A teaspoon dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. Grocers sell both kinds. "There's a Reason" for Postum ALWAYS SIGN OF TROUBLE "Death Watch Beetle" Not What Its Name Implies, but Is Recognized as General Nuisance. Superstition always falls to the ground before science, and now the old death-watch beetle is to receive its quietus. It is one of the oldest superstitions known to mankind that when you hear that tapping on wood, death is hovering nigh. When, however, the cause of the tapping is traced, we find nothing but a small beetle, which makes the noise by tapping on the wood. The real reason for the tapping is said to be the call of this insect for its mate. If you want to prove that this is the case, the very next time you hear the "death-watch," take up a key and tap on the table as much like its tap as you can. You will then be answered by the beetle, for he thinks it is the female answering his call. The entomologists call him anobium perturx, and he certainly has a pertinacious way of tap-tap-tapping, until you get the "creeps." If you take a light and look for him, following the tapping, you will find a very small bug, that upon your approach draws in his head and feelers and lies there as if dead. He is the opossum of the insect world. But he is an awful bore; in fact, his reason for living is to bore into the wood and furniture made of wood, in order to make a place for the female to deposit her eggs. These eggs when hatched become the worms, which work their way through the finest wood, leaving the borings, which are considered anything but decorative, except by the Japanese, who use worm-eaten designs with clever effect. This little beetle does portend death by its tapping, but it is not The Death-Watch Beetle. death to human beings, only destruction to fine old mahogany. He is not particular, and the finest furniture is good enough for him; so that when he taps, be on the lookout and drive him away, or you may find some choice bit of furniture ruined by his persistence. Nobleman Becomes Curate. Lord Mountmorres who has just been ordained and licensed to the curacy in the Isle of Wight, is an Irish peer, and therefore, has no hereditary seat in the house of iords. But there are four notable clerics in that chamber. Among the quartet is one who was formerly a well-known West end vicar, the earl of Strafford. Before he succeeded his brother in the titles, Lord Stafford was vicar of St. Peter's, Cranley gardens, and was at the same time chaplain to the speaker for 15 years. In 1889 he was appointed grand chaplain of Freemasonry in England. The marquis of Normandy had been vicar of St. Mark's, Worsley, Manchester, for 18 years, when the death of his father gave him a seat in the house of lords, and after giving up his living he was for many years a canon of St. George's chapel at Windsor. Lord Scarsdale, the father of Earl Curzon, ex-viceroy of India, has been rector of Kedleston for well over half a century; while Lord Blythswood, who succeeded his brother a few years ago, had previously been a curate at Nuneaton and Gateshead and vicar or rector at Notlington, Kent, Derby, London and Glasgow. Wireless for Fishermen Another advance in applying wireless telegraphy to minimize the perils of the sea has been taken by one of the British fishing companies operating in the North sea. A ship fitted with an apparatus of a 200 mile range is to be posted near the Dogger bank. "The admiral's boats," attached to each fishing fleet are also to be equipped with wireless installations. These will be in constant communication with the stationary vessel, and their whereabouts recorded on a chart at the shore station. In addition to the convenience this will mean to owners in knowing the movements of the fleet and the state of the catch, it will be of valuable aid in summoning aid for the boats in time of peril. Hitherto there have been anxious times ashore whenever a search boat has returned without news of the fleet, and many a fishing crew has been lost through being powerless to call for assistance. Further, wireless communication will necessarily imply a saving in the cost of fishing. Valuable Postage Stamps. One of the most interesting romances of collecting is recalled by the find of autograph letters in Sardinia. The most valuable stamp in existence is the "Post Office" Mauritus, which is worth about $7,500. Just after the postal authorities had received the issue the post office was destroyed in a hurricane. But the governor had given a ball and as an act of courtesy had sent invitations to friends in England. The only specimens of the stamp known to exist are those which were affixed to the envelopes of these invitations. Mentioning No Names "I see where a well known nobleman has proved himself an excellent tango dancer." "Well, he has plenty of time to practice.

MEMBER OF PASTOR'S FLOO William Dean Howells, apropos of the tercentenary of the birth of La Rochefoucauld, quoted at a dinner in Boston some of the Famous Frenchman's maxims. "La Rochefoucauld," said Mr. Howells, "wasn't the sorrowful misanthrope some people think, but a gay and gallant figure.

ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY Roxbury, Ohio.—"When my little boy was two weeks old he began breaking out on his cheeks. The eczema began just with pimples and they seemed to itch so badly he would scratch his face and cause a matter to run. Wherever that matter would touch it would cause another pimple until it spread all over his body. It caused disfigurement while it lasted. He had fifteen places on one arm and his head had several. The deepest places on his cheeks were as large as a silver dollar on each side. He was so restless at night we had to put mittens on him to keep him from scratching them with his finger nails. If he got a little too warm at night it seemed to hurt badly. "We tried a treatment and he didn't get any better. He had the eczema about three weeks when we began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I bathed him at night with the Cuticura Soap and spread the Cuticura Ointment on and the eczema left." (Signed) Mrs. John White, Mar. 19, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

Dr. Millo Hudson Gates, vicar of the Shapel of the Intercession, is a benevolent and fatherly man. He has no children of his own, but is godfather to nearly 80. A few belong to his friends, but the greater number are children who have been presented for baptism with no one to stand sponsor for them. A dozen or more bear Dr. Gates' name. Not long ago he was walking down Broadway near One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street, and saw a small Italo-American industriously digging in the dirt. Thinking there was something familiar about the youngster's appearance, he patted him on the head and asked: "What's your name, young man?" The boy looked up from his excavating and replied: "Meelo Hnd-so-a Gatus!"—New York Evening Post. SWEEPSTAKE UPON SWEEPSTAKE CANADA ADDING OTHERS TO ITS SERIES OF VICTORIES. A Manitoba Steer Carries Off Similar Honors to Those Won by a Half-Brother In 1912. When Glencarnock I, the Aberdeen-Angus steer, owned by Mr. McGregor of Brandon, Manitoba, carried off the sweepstakes at the Chicago Live Stock Show in 1912, it was considered to be a great victory for barley, oats and grass versus corn. So that there might be no doubt of the superiority of barley feeding, Manitoba climate, and judgment in selecting the animal, Mr. McGregor placed in competition in 1913, another Aberdeen-Angus, a half-brother to the animal that won last year, and secured a second victory in the second year. In other classes he had excellent winnings, but the big victory was the sweepstakes for the best steer. This victory proved that Manitoba-grown barley and oats, and prairie hay, had properties better than any contained in corn, which in the past has been looked upon as being superior to other grains in fattening and finishing qualities. Not only this, but Glencarnock's victory proves that the climate of the prairie provinces of western Canada, in combination with rich foods that are possessed by that country, tends to make cattle raising a success at little cost. Other winsnings at the live stock show which placed western Canada in the class of big victories were: Three firsts, seven seconds, and five other prizes in Clydesdales. The winners, Bryce, Taber, Sutherland, Sinton, Mutch, McLean, Haggerty, Leckie and the University of Saskatchewan are like family names in Saskatchewan. Each one had "the goods" that won honor to himself and combined made a name and record for Saskatchewan. Look at the recent victories won by western Canada within the past three years. In February, 1911, Hill & Sons of Lloydmnster, Saskatchewan, showed a peck of oats at the National Corn Exposition, held at Columbus, Ohio, and carried off the Colorado silver trophy, valued at $1,500. In February, 1913, the same men, father and son, had a similar victory at Columbia, N. C., and should they win in 1914 at Dallas, Texas, they will own the trophy. In 1911, Seager Wheeler of Rostern won $1,000 in gold at the New York Land Show for the best 100 pounds of wheat. In 1912 at the Dry Farming Congress at Lethbridge, Alberta, Mr. Holmes of Cardston won the $2,500 Rumley engine for best wheat in the world. In 1913, at the Dry Farming Congress, held at Tulsa, Okla, Mr. P. Gerlack of Allen, Saskatchewan, carried off the honors and a threshing machine for the best bushel of wheat shown in competition with the world. In 1913 at the International Dry Farming Congress at Tulsa, Okla., Canada won the majority of the world's honors in individual classes, and seven out of the sixteen sweepstakes, including the grand prize for the best bushel of hard wheat. The grand prize, a threshing machine, was won by Paul Gerlack for best bushel of hard wheat, which weighed 71 pounds to the bushel, and was of the Marquis variety. In the district in which the wheat was grown that won this prize, there were thousands of acres this year that would have done as well. Mr. Gerlack is to be congratulated, as well as the province of Saskatchewan, and western Canada as a whole, for the great success that has been achieved in both grain and cattle. Other prizes at the same place were: Best peck of barley, Nicholas Tetmiger, Claresholm, Alberta. Best peck of oats, E. J. Lanigan, Elfross, Saskatchewan. Best bushel of flax, John Flews, Cardnud, Saskatchewan. Best sheaf of barley, A. H. Cross- man, Kindersley, Saskatchewan. Best sheaf of flax, R. C. West, Kindersley, Saskatchewan. Best sheaf of oats, Arthur Perry, Cardston, Alberta. In district exhibits, Swift Current. Weak Women! The prescription which Dr. R. V.
