PENSION MATTERS.
TWO
THE LOWER HOUSE.
One Granting 812 a Month to Indigent
Soldiers of the Late War, and One
Granting Mexican War Veterans 38
per Month.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18,—Thc house pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the bill grant-
ing a pension of $12 per month to indigent
soldiers.
Mr. Maison, of Indiana. explained that the
bill was for the relief of dependant parents
and honOrably discharged soldiers and sailors
who are disabled and dependant upon their
own labor for support. He said the first
section of the bill merely changed the evi~
dence required by the pension ' office, and
would not cost the government more than
850,000 annually;that the total number of
persons who would be benefited by the sec-
ond section was estimated at 33,105, and the
annual cost to the government would not
reach $6,000,000.
After debate, pro and con, the bill was
. Yeas, 179; nays, 76.
The bill provides that parents of deceased
soldiers, in cases where there are no widows
or minor children, shall only be required to
show that they are without other present
means of support than their own manual
labor, and that this being done they and all
persons who served three months or more in
any war in which the United States has been
engaged, and who have been honorably dis-
charged therefrom and are not incapacitated
for the performance of labor sufficient to
earn support, shall be placed on the list of
invalid pensioners and be entitled to $12 per
month, such pensions to commence upon the
filing of application in the pension office.
The act does not apply to persons under
political disabilitya
~Mr. Eldridge (Mich) moved that the rules
be suspended and the house concur in the
senate amendment to the Mexican pension
bill. Mr. Bragg opposed the bill because it
proposed a service pension. - He also gave his
reason for voting against the bill which the
house had just passed. He thought it should
be entitled a bill “to pension the rubbish of the
army of the United States. and to revive the
business of the agents.” It covered every
substitute, every bounty jumper and every
scalawag that went into the army. '
At the conclusion of Mr. Bragg’s remarks
the rules were suspended and the senate
amendment to the Mexican pension bill was
concurred in.
The bill will now be sent to the president
for his approval. It provides that a pension
of $8 a month shall be paid to all surviving
ofiicers and enlisted men, including marines,
militia and volunteers of the military and
naval service of the United States, who
being duly enlisted and who served sixty
days with the army or navy in Mexico, or
on the coasts, or en route thereto, in war
with that nation, or were actually engaged
in a battle in said war, and were honorably
discharged, and to such other ofiicers and
soldiers as may have been personally named
in any resolution of congress for any specific
service in said war, and the surviving widows
of such ofiicers and enlisted men, provided
'that such widows have not remarried; pro-
vided, that every such officer, enlisted
man or widow who is or may
become 62 year‘s of age, or is or may become,
subject to any disability equivalent to some
cause prescribed or recognized by the pen-
sion laws of the United States as a sufilcient
reason for the allowance of pension, shall be
entitled to the benefits of this act, but it shall
not be held to include any person not within
the rules of age or disability or dependency
herein defined, or who incurred such dis-
ability while in any manner voluntarily en.
gaged in or aiding the late rebellion against
the authority of the United States. Section
4,716, Revised Statutes, is repealed so far as
it relates to this act or to pensioners under
this act.
GEN. HAZEN’S FUNERAL.
Arrangements for a Military Interment
Wednesday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-—The remains of
Gen. Hazen were taken from where he had
lived in apartments since the departure of
Mrs. Hazen for Europe tothe residence of
Mr. Washington McLean on Lafayette
square. Here they lie in a cloth covered
casket, dressed in his full army uniform. A
cablegram was received from Mrs. Hanan
asking full particulars concerning her hus-
band’s death, and to ask advice about return-
ing to this country. Gen. Hazen will be
buried with military honors on Wednesday
at 12 o’clock from St. J ohn’s church. His re-
mains will be temporarily interred at Oak
Bill or Rock Creek cemetery. The final in-
terment will be made after Mrs. Hazen’s re-
turn from Europe, probably at Hiram, 0.,
his old home.
The pallbearers willbe Adjt. Gen. Drum,
Pavmaster General Rochester, Quartermas-
ter General Holaberd, Gen. Duane, chief of
engineers, and Surgeon General Moore. Gen.
Sheridan has charge of the military arrange-
ments for the funeral.
The signal office is dra in mourning in
memory of Gen. Hazen. is death was a
surprise to those in the bureau, many of
whom had not heard of his serious illness.
The question of successorship to Gen.
Essen is already discussed, and Capt. Greely
is regarded by many as the officer most
likely to be placed at the head of the bureau.
The Star, discussing this question, says that
“there is a general impression that Capt.
Greely will be permitted to remain at the
head of the service temporarily until ar-
rangements are made for separating the
weather bureau from military control and
establishing it permanently under a civil
branch of the government.
It is conceded that the only reason that
this plan was not carried out some time ago
was the opposition and influence of Gen.
Hazen and the unwillingness of congres to
remove him from his position without good
cause. As no officer of high rank would be
afiected by such a transfer it is thought
probable that it will now be done. It is no
generally known that Gen. Hazen within the
last six months changed his opinion in the
matter, and believed that the weather bureau
should be a civil branch of the government.
None of the officers of the service would offer
any opposition to such a change.
Congressmen and Passes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.——The Critic says
that a member of congress who has been ac-
customed to receive regular passes from rail-
roads:applied a few days ago to the Pennsyl-
vania Railway company for annual passes
for 1887. The following is a copy of the
reply received:
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Ounces, }
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15, 1887.
Hon. —- , house of representatives:
DEAR SIR—It would give me great pleasure
to send, the annuals desired, but, as you
know, the interstate commerce bill, which
has passed the senate, makes this a penal
offense, and as I presume it will pass your
bodyin a few days you will of course see
that we cannot do anything which would
evade its provisions.
(Signed) Vice-Passmasr.
The house refused to take up the conference
report on the interstate commerce bill, be-
cause it was sprung on committee suspension
day, and the time was wanted for other
matters.
The senate passed the pension appropria-
tion bill. It includes the snug little sum of
$75,000,000.
WHO WILL SUCCEED DAWES?
That Question Now Uppermost in Massa-
chusetts.
BOSTON, J an. 18. -—-Each branch of the leg-
islature will vote viva voce to-day for United
States senator to succed Senator Dawes. On
Wednesday at 12 o’clock a convention of the
two house will be held, and if it appears that
both branches have voted for the same per-
son he will be declared elected senator, but
ifsuch is not the case, the joint assembly
must then proceed to, choose a senator. taking
one ballot each day until the work is accom-
plished. It is generally believed that Con~
gressman Long will lead in the vote, that
Senator Dawes will fall some 20 votes be-
hind Mr. Long, and that ex-Governor Robin-
son will receive perhaps two-thirds as many
votes as Mr. Dawes. The Democrats hold
the key to the situation, and as Democratic
interests lie in the return of Mr. Dawes,
rather than a younger man, impartial ob-
servers think that he will eventually be re-
elected, and if not, that Robinson will suc-
ceed him.
The Democrats of both houses of the legis-
lature hhve held a caucus and nominated
Hon. Patrick A. Collins for United States
senator. .

IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED;
A LITTLE STRANGEB.
; The First Member ofa Family orga-
sect Eaters to This Country.
The National Museum has recently
5 obtained a live specimen of the Soleno-
l don Cubanus, a very rare animal belong-
ing to the order of the insect eaters.
Members of this family are found only
in Cuba and Hayti and a live one has
never heretofore been seen in this coun-
try or in Europe. Our naturalists will
now, therefore, have their first oppor-
tunity for studying the habits of this
curious creature. It was obtained
through U. S. Consul Reimer at Santi.
ago, and was shipped to the National
Museum at Washington, together with
two others, which, however, died during
the voyage, and their bodies were pro
served in alcohol. Mr. True, the cura-
tor of the mammal section of the mu-
seum, states that very little is known of
the habits of these animals except that
they sleep during the day and go out at
night to search for insects upon which
they chiefly feed. Their long flexible
noses are supposed to be useful in smell-
lng out their prey. This is perhaps the
most curious feature about these ani-
mals. Their bodies are covered with
coarse black hair, with the exception of
the rump, which is bare. The Soleno«
don belongs to the same order as the
mole, but they constitute a family by
themselves. Since its arrival at the
museum this Solenodon has lived on
bits of fresh meats, but it is the inten-
tion to make an experiment with insect
diet, and ascertain whether the insects
of this latitude agree with it. There is
considerable doubt whether it will live,
but if it does it will be sent after awhile
to the Zoological Gardens in Philadel-
phia. If caterpillars come within the
scope of the meaning of the term in-
sects, and if this new comer develops
any kind of an appetite, it would find
constant and no doubt remunerative
employment under the parking com-
mission, and besides make itself solid
with the citizens of the District.

The Sphinx and New Discoveries.
The Sphinx occupies a position where
the encroachment of the desert is most
conspicuous. At the present day noth-
ing is to be seen of the animal except its
head and neck; but the Egyptian monu-
ments on which it is figured show not
only the entire body down to the' pews,
but also a large square plinth beneath,
covered with ornaments. Since the
time ofthe Greeks, perhaps even since.
the reign of Thothmes IV., this plinth
has disappeared beneath the sand, and
its very existence had been forgotten.
It is generally supposed that the Sphinx
is hewn out of a. large isolated rock,
which overlooked the plain. But M.
Maspero’s researches suggest that it is a
work yet more stupendous. He has
proved that the Sphinx occupies the
centre of an amphitheatre, forming a
kind of rocky basin, the upper rim of
which is about on a level with the head
of the animal. The walls of this am-
phitheatre, whenever visible, are cut by
the hand of man. It seems probable,
therefore, that in the beginning there
was a uniform surface of rock, in which
an artificial valley has been excavated,
so as to leave in the middle 3 block out
of which the Sphinx was finally hewn.
The excavations now being carried on
will doubtless verify the existence of
the plinth shown on the old paintings,
and also furnish evidence, by the orna-
mentation of the plinth, of the true age
of the monument. Maspero is inclined
to assign to it a very great antiquity—
possibly higher then the early dynasties,
i. e., then the first period of Egyptian
history. As the result of last Winter’s
work the sand round the Sphinx has
already been lowered by about 30
meters.
Grounds for Chinese Divorces.
The Chinese have a firm belief in mar-
riages being made in heaven. A certain
deity whom they call “ The Old Man in
the Moon," links with a silken cord, they
say, all predestined couples. Early mar-
riages is earnestly inculcated. One of
their maxims states that there are three
cardinal sins, and that to die without
offspring is the chief. As in other coun-
tries, spring is the time when young
people's minds turn to thoughts of love,
and most marriages are celebrated in
February, when the peach tree blossoms
appear. Among the marriage present:
are live geese, which are supposed to be
emblematical of the concord and happi-
ness of the married state. A Chinaman
may divorce his wife for seven difierent
reasons, and in the list are ill temper and
a talkative disposition. The birth of a
son is the occasion of much rejoicing,
for without sons 3 man lives without
honor and die! unhappy, with no one to
worship at his grave and none to con-
tinue the family line.

Origin of Slanling Roofs.
To find the source: from which the
European nations have derived the art
of building in stone we must look to
the land of the Pharaohs. From Egypt
the craft passed to Greece, and from
‘the Greeks it was taken up by the
Romans, to be by them disseminated
through the north and west of Europe
in the process of colonization. The
similarity, in regard to the constructive
parts of the ancient Greek buildings,
to some of those found in Egypt of
older date affords strong confirmation
of the tradition that the Greeks bor-
rowed the art from the Egyptians. The
Greeks, however, in adopting it added a
new feature, the pediment, and the
reason for this addition is easy to find.
Egypt is practically rainless. All the
protection from the climate required
in a palace or temple in such a country
is shelter from the sun by day and from
the cold by night, and for this a flat
roof supported by walls or pillars with
architraves is quite sufficient, but when,
as in all European countries, rain has
to be taken into account, a slanting
roof becomes a necessity. The Greeks,
with their eye for symmetry, provided
for this by forming the roof with a
central ‘ridge at an obtuse angle, from
which it sloped down equally on either
side. The triangular space thus formed
at the end of the building above the
architrave was occupied by the pedi-
mcnt, and this part of the facade, which
owed its birth to the exigencies of
climate, was thenceforth regarded as
so essential to the artistic complete:
ness of the work that it was said that
if a temple were to be erected in the
celestial regions, where rain would not
be possible, the pedlment could not be
omitted.

Nothing is so unnatural or so full of ,

are only known under the conditions ,
of what is called “ society,” conditions
which imply mutual complaisance up
to a certain point very easily reached,
conventional ease of manner, courteous
frankness of speech whichnecd not be
very deep, superficial mutual intelli-
gence which seldom knows how far it
penetrates—though it enjoys the evi-
dence of having penetrated further
than was expected-and alacrity in
discerning and complying with the
wishes of others. The danger consists
in the facility with which companion-
ship of this kind is mistaken for true
intimacy, though it does not really
imply anything approaching to it. A
woman will sometimes marry a man
of .whom she knows nothing at all ex-
cept that she has found it pleasant to
be flattered and admired by him during
a companionship of this superficial
kind. In other words, she will trust
her life to the keeping of a man of ,
whose aims, of whose standard of right
and wrong, of whose power and habit
of living up to that standard she knows I
just as much and just as littleasshe does ‘
of the actors, whom she has seen on the
stage, though she is deceived into think-
ing that she knows more, only because
she happens in this case to have been
one vf the actors, and not merely a
passive spectator. Society is, indeed, a
sort of expedient for rubbing off the
natural and wholesome reserves which
keep people from trusting each other
till they have had real .experience of
what each is made of—till they have
seen what are the objects of reverence,
what is the depth of reverence; what
is the force of practical fidelity to the
higher aims that determine the true
character working behind the familiar
forms and faces of so-called society.
The surface of the sea on acalm fend
sunny day is as little of an index to the
dangers which the sea may cause, as
the familiar manner of mere society to
the deeper influences which those who
mingle in that society can exert. It
would be as wise to drink the deadly
juices of the belladonna because of the
beauty of the night-shade's flowers, as
to welcome intimacy with many of-
those whose manners in general society
are faultless and fascinating, without
knowing anything of them beyond
those manners.
VENICE us on.
A Waste of Salt-Water Grasses—Tile
Venice 01' To-Day.‘
Venice, though already great, was in
comparison with its after appearance a
mere village, or rather a cluster of vil-
lages, straggling along the sides of each
muddy, marshy island, keeping the line
of the broad navigable waterway, in
(lots of building, groups of houses and
churches, -=from the olive covered isle
where San Pietro, the first great church
of the city, shone white among its trees,
along the curve of the Canaluccio to the
Rialto—Rive-Alto, what Mr. Ruskin
calls the deep stream, where the church
of St. Giacomo, another central spot,
stood, with its group of dwellings
round—no bridge then dreamed of, but a
ferry connecting the two sides of the
Grand Canal. Already the stir of com-
merce was in the air, and the big sea
going galleys, with their high bulwarks,
lay at the wharfs, to take in outward
bound cargoes of salt, salt fish, wooden
furniture, bowls and boxes of home
manufacture, as well as the goods of
northern nations, of which they were the
carriers, and come back laden with the
riches of the East—with wonderful tis-
sues and carpets, and marbles and relics
of the saints. The palace and its
chapel, the shrine of San Marco, stood
where they still stand, but there were no
columns on the Piazzetta, and the great
Piazza was a piece of waste land be-
longing to the nuns at San Zaccaria,
which was, one might say, the parish
church. Most probably this vacant
space in the days of the first Orseolo
was little more than a waste of salt
water grasses and sharp and acrid plants
like those that now flourish in such
rough luxuriance on the Lido, with per-
haps a tree or two here and there, a
patch of cultivated ground. Such was
the scene—very different from the Ven-
ice of the earliest pictures, still more
different from that we know. But
already the lagoon was full of boats and
the streets of commotion, and Venice
grew like a young plant, like the quick
spreading vegetation of her own warm.
wet marshes, day by day.
Night Fishing in the Monterey Bay.
The fascination of a bright light for
fish is stated to have been first dis-
covered by Whalers, who noticed that
the fish fairly swarmed wherever the
glare fell from their trypot furnaces.
The Montcrey fishermen have reduced
the system to a nicety, and the way in
which their nets swarm when'beached
is ample evidence of their success.
When the luring is done on a large
scale it requires half adozen boats, and
the sight at night is full of interest.
All but two or three of the boats are
fitted with a metal basket at stem or
how, and in this a brilliant fire of pine
knots or oil-saturated wicking is
kindled and kept burning by constant
replenishing from a stock of fuel car-
ried in the boats. The fire is started
when the crafts are a half mile off
shore and they are slowly pulled into
the beach, three or four pretty close
together and on even terms. Behind
the flaring lights and extending a con-
siderable distance on either side of;
them is a deep net, dragged by a boat
at either end and bellied out until it
forms almost a half-circle, of which the
lighted boats are the center. Around
the latter all the fish within sight seem
to gather, bent on investigating the
strange brightness, and their curiosity
keeps them about the lights until the
boats are beached and the two extremes
of the‘ net reach the shore. Then the
united force haul in the richly-freighted
meshes, bringing with them all the
gathered fish,'from the tiniest minnow
to the biggest cod. Hundreds and
hundreds of pounds are taken at a
single haul, and by lively .work the
same water can be dragged twice ins
tide with equally profitable results.
The catch is promiscuous. and the
fishermen are kept busily employed
until train time, sorting and boxing
the different varieties,

Decayed Teeth and Eyesight.
Decayed teeth have been known to
exert an injurious effect on the eye-
sight, but a recent case in Sweden
illustrates this reflex action in an un-
usually striking manner. The patient
was a young girl blind in the right eye,
although the surgeon, Dr. Widmark,
was unable to detect the slightest
pathological change in the organ.
Observing, however, considerable de-
fects in the teeth, he sent her to M.
Skogsborg, adental surgeon, who found
that all the upper and lower molars
were completely decayed, and that in
many of them the roots were inflamed.
He extracted the remains of the molars
on the right side, and in, four days’
time the sight of the right eye began
to return, and on the eleventh day
after the extraction of the teeth it had
become-quite normal. The deceased
fangs on the other side were subse-
quently removed, lest they should cause
a return of the ophthalmic affection

NORWALK
Long Credits.
In EuTOpe long credits linger most in
Germany, one of its poorest countries,
and the only one, except Turkey, where
I more credit is still given in retail busi-
ness than in wholesale. But evenln
Germany the cash system has lately
been making considerably way. One
great obstacle to it there, as elsewhere,
is the shop-keeper himself. He thinks
the cash system loweringtothe dignity
of his establishment, or wanting in re-
spect to his customers; he behaves he
has a better-hold on the continuance of
their custom and is liable to sell more
to them if they keep an account with
him, and-he knows he can charge them
a better price by reason of the accomo—
dation. It is usually supposed that the
credit systemis advantageous to the
shopkeeper, this, however, may be
doubted, but there can be no question
that the abolition of the system of
shop credits would be an unmixed bene-
fit to mankind. Producers’ credits may
lead to occasional overtrading, but it is
at least a means of immensely increas-
ing production and wealth, through
bringing capital—not into being, but
what practically is as good—into use,
and transfering it from hands that
cannot handle it into hands that can.
But consumers' credit carries no advan-
tage whatever, unless in individual
cases of temporary embarrassment for
which better provision might be made.
otherwise. Its general effect is to
tempt the weaker sort of persons to
live above their means, and make the
rest of us pay the piper for them in the
enhanced prices of all we buy. One
marks without regret that the course
of things seems to be making for its
suppression, and this is not the least
important of the various successive
contradictions that take place in the
sphere of credit, in the progress of
economic development. Contraction of
the sphere is only one side, however, of
the evolution of credit; there accom-
panics it an enormous growth of the
facilities of credit within that sphere.
Poor countries are overrun with credit,
and stagnate under it; rich countries
cut channels for it, and guide and con-
fine it by severe restraints, till it flows
bounteous and tractable, enriching and
fertilizing everything. The evolution
of banking and credit institutions,
past and future, is,however,ssubject
that cannot be entered upon at the con~
clusion of s paper already long.

Hints so Iain-er Boardersfl. _
”(A humorist gives a few suggestion
to city folks who gets the country:
Don‘t expect s view from your window
that takes in a great hillside with
browsing lambs, a lake with water-
fowl, groves and flowers, and soles:
sunset every day during your stay.
These things come high. save in ad-
vertisements for summer boarders.
Look out upon the patient farm boy
hugging the potato vines and be con-
tent. Don't ask the farmer why he
puts his little peaches near the bottom
of the basket and the big ones on top,
and similar foolish questions, and thus
display your total ignorance of agri-
cultural and horticultural pursuits,
and win the farmer’s honest and hearty
contempt. Don’t go near the mowing
machine when it is in motion. You
may safely sit on the fence surround-
ing the field in which it is singing its
merry song, but that will be near
enough. You might go behind a mow-
ing machine when it is in complete re.
pose, but if it should start, you should
start also, and you should not stop until
you reach the fence. Don't try to
climb the barbed wire fence just to
show the congregation how smart ydu
are. It requires long practice to climb
aberbed wire fence, and not be sorry
for it afterward. In busy times you
may take off your coat and go out with
the hands for half a day, just to give
yourself an appetite. That will please
the farmer, notwithstanding your in-
creased appetite; but don't get into
the habit of that sort of thing. Don’t
ofier to milk the cow. She may object.
If you go walking in the woods and
see a large hornets’ nest hanging from
a low limb, don't become infatuated
with it. If a desire to pull it and take
it heme to show it to the other board-
ers springs up in your bosom, try to
repress it. Hornets are a little particu-
lar, and do not like to have their nests
shown around among curious city
people while they are using it, and if
you pull their nest while they are at
home they will show their disappro'oa-
tion of your course.

The First Train Boy.
“The first train boy that ever sold
newspapers on trains now lives in
Chicago,” said a train boy running
between Chicago and Omaha. “I
knew him quite well. He is known as
Metropolitan Hotel. He is a New
Yorker by birth, and in his youth, way
back in 1845 or "46, he was educated in
all the branches of a New York hood-
lum’s trade. He had at that time a
companion now known to fame in
horse-racing circles as ‘Lucky’ Bald-
win, who was at that time a peddler
of second-hand books among news—
dealers. Charles Bash, an old gray-
headed conductor on the Hudson River
road, and who was one of the first em-
ployees on the very first train of cars
that was run'in America, was a friend
of young Ashby, and allowed him to
get on his train and dispose of his
papers among the passengers between
New York and Albany. Charles died
long ago, but he is lovineg remembered
by Ashby. On his first trip on the
*IIudson River road Ashley took out
1,000 New York papers and sold every
Fone. He thought he was arich man,
and when he returned to New York he
bought a new suit of clothes and went
on quite a spree. The result was that
he missed his next trip, and ‘Lucky’

Peculiarifies of Watches.
Watches are never entirely reliable,
but have their caprices. For instance,
some time about the beginning of last
summer, when there had been a succes-
sion of fine displays of aurora borealis,
it was estimated that in a single night
in the City of New York the main-
springs of no less than three thousand
watches broke. This estimate is based
on actual inquiries. Fine, sensitive
affected by electrical atmospheric dis-
turbances. During the months of J une,
July and August, when these phe-
nomena are most frequent, there are
more mainsprings broken than during
all the remaining months of the year.
They break in a variety of ways, some-
times snapping into as many as twenty-
seven pieces. It is a fact that since the
introduction of the electric light has
become so general a large number of
watches, some of them very fine ones,
have become magnetized While in this
condition they are useless as time-
keepers. This defect used to be incur-
able, and because of it thousands of
watches have been thrown away after
much money has been spent on them in
vain attempts to persuade them to keep
good time.
Two persons who have chosen each
other out of all the species, with design
to be each other’s mutual comfort and
entertainment, have in that action
bound themselves to be good-humored,
affable, discreet, forgiving, patient and
joyful with respect toeach other's frail-
ties and imperfections to the end 01
their line.

Catarrh lu Consumption. .
Catan‘h in its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. It is
therefore singular that those alll'lclcd with this
fearful disease should not make u the object of
their llves to rid themselves of ii. Deceptive
remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge have weakened the confidence
of the great majority of sufferers In all advertised
remedies. They become reslgned to a life of
misery rather than torture themselves with
doubtful palliatives.
But this wlll never do. Catlin-h must be met at
every stage and cemented with all our might.
In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose,
the organs of hearing. of seeing and of lasting so
affected as to be useless, the uvula so elongated,
the throat so inflamed and mutual as to produce
a constant and distressing cough.
SANFOBD’S RADICAL CURE meets every phase of
catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. It is local and
constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent
in caring, safe, economical and never-falling.

COLORED MEN OF AFF'LUENCE.
Wonderful Progress Made by the Col-
ored Race in Ten Years.
The facts are, the colored race has
been making enormous stridesiu the
way of money getting during the past
ten years. Why, in the City of Wash-
ington today, a. city in which the
mancipation Proclamation of 23 years
ago found less than adozen free blacks,
there are 104 colored men who pay
taxes on above $25,000 each. The author
of the standard history of the African
race in America is worth $40,000. Hon.
Frederick Douglass has $300,000. Bos-
ton has a colored merchant tailor who
clothes the Beacon Hill aristocracy and
does a business of $350,000 a year. He
was once a slave, and followed Sher-
man and his troops on their march to
the sea. Wheii he reached Charleston
his worldly possessions were a suit of
very ragged clothes and 28 cents.
The present Tax Collector of the
District of Columbia, himself a. colored
man, pays taxes on $250,000. New
York had a. colored druggist who died
recently leaving $1,000,000, and a son-
in-law worth $150,000. The ex-United
States Minister to Hayti has $75,000.
Less than one hundred colored men in
Pittsburg pay taxes on a combined ~
property valuation of $2,500,000.
Cincinnati has a colored fumiture
dealer whose check is good any day for
$100,000. Twenty-three years ago he
was a Kentucky slave. The late Rob-
ert Gordon owned more thana score
of four-story residences at the time of .
his death. One day he entered a Cin-
cinnati bank and asked for government
bonds. The cashier did not know him,
and when he handed out. his check for
$15,000 be appealed to the president of
the bank. “Get him the bonds," said
the latter; “he can draw his check for
ten times that sum." Buffalo has 9;
New Orleans, 48; Philadelphia, 64.;
Chicago, 22; Louisville, 8; Charleston,
12; Atlanta, 4, and Pittsburg has ll
colored men who pay taxes on more
than $10,000 each and never think of
attending the sittingsof the court of
tax appeals. Up to the failure of the
Frecdmen’s Savings Bank the colored
people of the South had deposited
therein $35,000,011). This sum is in ad-
dition to the amounts deposited by
them in. other banking institutions.
The colored residents of New York
City are assessed for over $0,000,000. Col~
cred men own property on Long Island
to the value of $2,503,110 In South.
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama
and Mississippi the colored people are
buying for themselves small farms, and
what is better, they are paying for
them.

New Method of Verifying Signatures.
A novel application of a recent scien-
tific discovery has been tried before
the orphan’s Court by Dr. Persifox
Frazer. Some questions upon checks
and charges upon partne: ship accounts
arose, in connection with which it was
necessary to settle the validity of some
signatures. Instead of resorting to the
testimony of handwriting experts, Dr.
.i-‘razer was induced to apply the princi-
ple of composite photography.
The principle was discovered recently
by an Englishman named Gslton, and
consists in producing a photograph
which is an embodiment-of a number
of originals. It is done by taking phe—
tographs of each subject separately
giving each plate, however, but a pro
portionate amount of the time requisite
for its proper development. In this
way only the features which are in all
the originals appear distinctly in the
composite, while the exceptions and
irregularities are lost. The discoverer
obtained remarkable results in secur—
ing types of criminals, persons afflicted
with pulmonary troubles, family like-
nesses, etc.
Dr. Frazer was given eighteen checks
admittedly signed by the decedent,
which be divided into three groups,
according to the size of the handwrit-
ing. Some checks were used in the
two groups, so that each one of the
three composites was made up from
, about a dozen checks. The results was
that in each one of the plates the signs-

W
A Chinese Confidence Game.
The confidence trick, with which so
many swindles have been perpetrated,
is but poor and clumsy in comparison
to the methods pursued in China. No
one, in fact, but a fool would be taken.
in by the proposal to hand a quantity
of money to a stranger, in order to show
confidence in him. The Chinese swind—
ler proceeds much more artfully to"
work, and enlists human nature on his
side. This is shown bya. case heard
the other day in Shanghai, when four
Chinamen were charged with conspir-
ing to cheat Chang Wong, 3 super-
cargo, of 490 rupees. The defendants
were said "to be followers of the famous
Tin Si Kok, who was celebrated for his
skill in waylaying Chinamen arriving
rom foreign parts and swindling them
of-the money they had accumulated,
by artfully playing an their cupidity.
In the present case the plaintiff was
met by one of the men in the street.
.nvited into a house, and hospitably
treated; and then an artful scheme was
prepared to him by which the party
might, by joining in the game of fan
tan, cheats wealthy California Chime
man, who was said to have just arrived
with a large quantity of gold. Cards
were produced, and it was proved how
easily and certainly the cheating might
be carried out. The party were each
to contribute some money to carry out
the game. Chang Wong was unable to
withstand the artful temptation. The
pretended Californian Chinaman came
in, and the game was played; but some-
how the cheating was not successful,
and at the end of the game the plaintifl?
_ was 490 rupees out of pocket. This is
clearly a great advance on the English
confidence trick.

Cure for Writer’s Cramp.
Writer’s cramp is an affection which,
until very recent date, has been looked
upon as in most cases incurable. For- '
tunately, however, for those who suffer
from this disease, means are now
known to exist not only for its ameli—
oration, but for its permanent cure.
The ,difilculty is one which is not,”
its name implies, confined to writers.
It may occur in any individual whose
occupation brings into constant play
one set of muscles; thus the pianist, the
telegrapher and the ballet-dancer may
suffer from these cramps or from an
inability to perform the acts peculiar
to his occupation. The cramps are
merely symptoms of a. diseased condi-
tion, the exact seat of which is a mat-
ter of dispute; some locating it in the
brain, others in the spinal cord, while
there are those who regard the nerve-
centres as in no wise affected, but trace
the source of the affection to the nerves
themselves. The method of treatment
which has been found most successful
consists in the application of gymnas-
tics, combined with massage, to the
affected muscles. The rubbing, and
sometimes a gentle striking of the
muscles with a wooden bar, together
with regular movements of the fingers
or other defective part, are continued
for several weeks, during which time
0:
not more than one hour daily is devoted
these exercises.
