Profitable Bertha.
A few weeka ago Secretary MacVeagh
a gotnjr ever the pay roll of the Treaaury
department. He waa loo kind for plarea to
ecuuoiniie. Ilia eye caucht the nainee of
two women Hated aa "aaate basket examt
! nera."
"What'a that?" demanded the aecretary.
"They are the women who Inapeot the
con ten la of the waate baaketa," waa the
j reply. "They are paid VO a year each,
' and aa we received laat year II. GOO from the
. aalea nf the waate paper which paaaed
f throuch their handa there, would be no
I aooDomy la dropping them."
( Secretary MaoYeagh waa Interested. He
learned that the two women occupy a room
In the baaement of the great granite build
ing: and that they spend the entire day
pulling: over the acraps of paper, red tape
and other articles that find their way Into
the departmental waate basket a. They are
experts In this humble calling. The paper
Is sorted according to Its quality, and all
bits of twine and rubber bands are thrown
to one side. It takes the two women the
grester part of the day to acrutlnlxe the
output of the baskets for the day previous.
.The chief purpose of this examination Is
to guard against the loss of money and
valuable patters. It would be an easy thing
for a bundle of bank notes or treasury
notea to slip Into a waate basket. The
women have caught more than one valuable
package of thla kjnd. Alao they, have a
keen eye open for official lettera, reports
and other documents which mttcht have
come to their bavketa through the tareleaa.
neaa of clerks and messengers.
On the top floor of the same building la a
chemist who tolls all day long amid sam
ples of oleomargarine, near butter and fake
whltklea. The ssmples are sent to him by
suspicious government ajrenta who think
the butter manufacturers and distillers are
evading the law against adulteration. In
addition to being a hlgh-claaa chemlgt thla
man la an expert wltnrse. His skill in both
lines recently woo the government's suit
against a certain packing company. In
which the latter was fined 173,000 for selling
oleomargarine colored to Imitate butter.
t Another man enjoys a slnocure In the bu
reau of engraving and printing. He Is paid
JC.iWO ' a year simply to watch ovsr the
plates and dies from which the govern
ment's paper money and bonds are printed.
The law makea the secretary of the treaa
ury personally responsible for this valuable
I-ioperty. The aecretary, In turn. Intrusts
It to a man In whom he has complete con
f ilence, and who la responsible, to the sec
retary and to no one else. At the close of
each day the man gathers up the dies and
the plates, puts them in the safe, and the
next morning hands them out again.
Klley, the Praataa.
John Kiley haa a unique Job In the Treas
ury department. He writes his signature
from morning till night. Secretary Mac
Vfsgh was appalled by the maas of treas
ury warrants, vouchers and other routine
lepers watch the law required that he
si ould sign. Other secretaries had been
the slave of the same custom. 8ecretaiy
Manning came merest to freeing himself
from the Irksome requirement. His name,
save for the final letter g, was written on
all the routine documents by a clerk. Mr.
Manning supplied the missing letter and
the controller said It was all right.
Secretary MacVeugli Improved thla
scheme by Inducing c Duress at the recent
aeialon to pans a law authorizing a clerk
to do his signing. Now John Klley attends
to this Job, affixing Ills nam- "for Frank
lin MacVeagh." Klley will sign from 5m
to 1.&00 documents a day. He had Just fin
ished a six-week task of putting his signa
ture on 30,000 treaaury warrants to mem
bers of the Cherokee Indian tribe, the
money being In payment for a sale of
lands belonging to the Indiana.
Ioan st the department of Agriculture
three sclentlhts are engaged In the Interest
ing occupation of examining the contents
of the stomachs of birds. They have done
nothing else for the laat two years. They
are trying to find out whether certain birda
are friends or enemh a of farmers. .Special
agents In the field slay the birds by the
hundreds and ship their tlomuch to Wash
ington In alcohol. These are microscopic
ally examined by three scientists, who tab
ulate everything they find.
The results have been surpHsinR. Hy this
method it has been discovered that hawks
and owla are pot the wicked birds of prey
the farmers thought them to be. In the
old days the farmer took keen eatisfactlon
In shooting these supposed maraudet a. Now
the Intelligent agriculturist protects these
birds. He realizes that although they may
occasionally kill a chicken they perform
valuable nervlces in hunting the voracious
rodents which destroy alike grain products,
young trees and eggs of birds.
