C alling A B oy in the M orning . —The Connecticut editor who wrote the following, evidently knew what he was talking about : Calling a boy op in the morning can hardly be classed onder the head of “pastime,” especially if the boy is fond of exercise the day before. And it is a little singular that the next hardest thing to getting a boy out of bed is getting him into it. There is rarely a mother who is a success af rousing a boy. All mothers know this ; so do their boys. And yet the mother seems to go at it in the right way. She opens the stair-door an«l in sinuatingly observes, “J ohnny .”- There is no response. “JoHNwy.” Still no response. Then there is a short, sharp “J ohn ,” followed a mo ment later by a long and emphatic “J ohn H enry .” A grunt from the upper regions signifies that an impres sion has been made ; and the mother is encouraged to add,” ’You’d better Be getting down here to your break fast, young man, before I come up there, an’ give you something you’ll feel.” This so startles the young man that he immediately goes to sleep again. And the operation has to be repeated several times. • A father knows nothing about the trouble. He merely opens his mouth as a soda-bot tle objects its cork, and the “J ohn H enry ” that cleaves the Hir of that stairway goes into that l«>y like elec tricity and pierces the deepest re cesses of his nature. And he pops out of that bed and into his clothes and down the stairs with a promptness that is commendable. It is rarely a boy allows himself to disregard th« paternal sutnm«>ns. About once a year is believed to be as often ns is consistent with the rules of health. He saves his father a great many steps by his thoughtfulness. I n making appointments the Presi dent has adopted the general rule that where an officer has served fi»ur years in a satisfactory manner, the character of his official services will stand as a recommendation for reappointment, uni«»« there are well sustained objec tions of personal or moral character to this reapjiointment of the incumbent. Where, however, an offi-er serves for eight years this period of servitude will operate against reappointment, the President holding that eight years is the maximum, provided an e<iually competent and meritorious man is mi applicant for the place. The rule is to be especially applied to the appoint ment of postmasters, whose salaries exceed $1.000 and who are e«mnni«- sioned by the President. The rule will not be applied with the same rigor to postmasters whose salaries are be- low $l,0<)0, and who are appointed under law by the Postmaster-General. As to these |M»stmasters who are commissioned by the President, there .ne about 1,600 who are required to receive their appointments from the President, and over 38,000 who are appointed by the Postmaster General.
