AN OLD MAN’S DARLING.
Mabel Marsden’s fortune was made; so she ,
congatulated herself as she gazed exultantly
upon the diamond ring which Col. Holbeck
had placed upon her finger. His words of
love still vibrated in her ear, but, strange to
say, there was no responsive melody in her
young heart, although her lips had promised
that she would become his wife.
She was a. young girl not yet out of her
teens—poor, beautiful and ambitious.
Col. Holbeck was 50—hole, gentlemanly and
rich.

The wedding was a quiet one. St. Albau's
had never seen a lovelier bride nor a. happier
groom; and when, after a month’s travel, the
couple took possession of their luxuriant
home, Mabel again congratulated herself
upon the brilliancy of her fortune. Her
brightest dreams were meeting with fulfill-
ment. She entered into her new life with all
the zest of her fresh young spirit, glorying in
the beauty that had purchased her pleasures
and leaving nothing undone that could en-
hance her loveliness.
Col. Holbeck accompanied her everywhere
she wished to go.
“She is too young, too inexperienced for
me to allow her her freedom,” he said, ca-
ressingly. “She will doubtle- tire of this
frivolity after a while, and then we will ,
settle down to that happy home I have so
often pictured." ,
But time were on, and not even the shadow
of such a weariness appeared to cloud the
young wife‘s spirits. No gayety was pro-
posed which did not tempt her participation,
and no temptation met with resistanm. ~
After three years of patient waiting, the
frivolities in which she indulged so freely be-
came so utterly distasteful to her husband
that he could no longer restrain his impa-
tience. . .
“We have been married almost three years,
Mabel," he said to her one evening in the
course of an interview, “and in all that time
I have been but a slave at your bidding. It
is true I am more than twice your age, but I
became your husband fondly believing that
in your love my heart would regain its
youthfulnw, and that you would find com-
fort and happinem in being an old man’s dar-
ling. That I have been disappointed I freely
acknowledge; that you have been I can but
infer. I realise now the vanity of the hepe
whichled mote unite old age with outh,
sinceour tastes are sodissimilar. at I
have to say to you, however, is this—that I
desire you to. relinquishln a measure, those,
frivolities which are separating us so surely
and so utterly I” _
, Mabel looked for a moment into his fwe
and said: “Suppose I do not desire to re-
nounce those pleasures which you seem to
condemn so heartily?”
“Then I shall resort to that authority
which, as your husband, is vested in me!"
“And if I do not choose to submit to that
authority?”
“That is not a question to be discussed be
tween us!” he exclaimed, emphatically, now
thoroughly aroused and irate. “I aln master
of this house, as you willflnd to your cost!
. That you have never cared for me, except as
the representative of the wealth which pur-
chases your pleasures, is too plain a case to
admit of argument. But there is one thing
of which you may rest assured. .Whilo you
hear my name it must remain as unsullied as
when you received it! I do not wish you to
regard me as a brute nor yet as a tyrant, but
this continual dissipation must cease! I am
too old to be dragged from one scene of
gaycty to another, tied, as it were, to the
wheels of your carriage; and since I cannot ,
attend you, you must confine yourself more
at home. You may retire now if you please.
but remember that I expect your compliance
with my wishes!"
“Thank you for the privilege I" she re-
turned, sarcastically. “I shall not retire,
however, until this question is definitely set-
tled!”
Her eyes glowed like midnight stars and
upon her white forehead the beads of per-
spiration sparkled like diamonds in the full
blaze of the chandelier beneath which she
stood
“That I do not love you, Col. Holbeck.
you seem to be well aware. I married Eyou
because I was dazzled by those visions of
splendor which you placed before my eyes,
and I sighed for them as those who travel in
sandy deserts thirst for water. Fashion and
society are my idols. I shall not give them
up without a struggle, you may rest assured;
but the victory is not always to the strong.
"Good night!” she added, turning from him
and leaving the room with the air of an em-
press.
Col. Holbeck, stunned by her confession,
buried his face in his hands.
“She shall have her own way l” he sud-
denly stoically resolved. “If she married me,
as ,she says, for my wealth, she shall not be
cheated in the bargain. She shall enjoy her
freedom unmolcsfed while I live, and my
wishes hereafter shall remain untold."
Fom- years passed away, and then the end
of it all came. Mabel was sitting alone in
her elegant drawing room whence a bun-
dred guests had just departed, when Col.
Holbeck entered hastily and drew a chair
to her side. She gathered her trailing robes
of amber satin about her more closely, as if
fearing contaminat'xm. He noticed the move-
ment, and exclaimed, apologetically: “I vow-
ed years ago, Mabel, that I never would again,
by word or look, detract from your happi-
ness, and faithfully, until now,have I kept that
vow. This, however, is a perilous moment
for both of us, and must account for this in-
trusion. I have a communication to make
which will startle you; but you must hour It.
Are you listening? ' I am a bankrupt, Mabel,
a bankrupt!"
“A bankrupt!” she exclaimed, hoarsely.
“Are you in earnest?"
“Yes; in terrible earnest, as to-morrow’s
proceedings will show! For your sake I re-
gret it. You worship wealth and position,
' you told me once, and I have never forgotten
it! God knows I pity you!” ,
“What are we to do?" she asked, brokenly,
for, try as she might, the tears would not be
repressed.
“I do not know,” he answered, vaguely.
“The tidings reached me but a few hours
ago, and since then I'havo thought of noth-
ing but how I should tell you of it without
breaking your heart. I am not too old to
work for you, Mabel; but how will you en-
dure our misfortune? You will doubtless re-
proachfine for not having provided against
this contingency when we were married; but
I did not know then that you sold yourself to
me! I thought that you loved a little, not-
withstanding the disparity of years between
as.” '
He cursed speaking and abruptly left the
mom. For a moment Mabel's heart softened
toward him; but the next she rose up and,
sweeping her eyes over the magnificent apart.
meat, said, bitterly: “No, no; I cannot do
without them I”
She ascended to her chamber, where her
maid was awaiting her coming. She wearily
submitted herself to her skillful hands, and
having substituted a morning wrapper for
the party robes, she dismissed her sleepy at-
tendant and sink into an easy chair which
stood before the fire. She folded her white.
jeweled hands in her lap ,and thought over
the events of the past few years.
“What a vain, profitles life I have lived,"
she murmured, regretfully. “Who has been
benefited ,by it? Not even myself. And
with the abundant means I have wasted how
much I might have done! Have I, indeed,
been happier than I was whenI sat in my
little chamber, the only ornaments I pos-
sessed a white rose for my hair and my
mother’s old fashioned wedding ring for my
finger?”
And with her mother’s memory came back
a madman, a. softness to the heart of
Mabel Holbeck which had not visited it for
years. -
“It is not too late to retrieve myself, and
I will,” she added, resolutely. “I cannot re-
call the past, but I can at least prove to my
husband that I am not dead to all sense of
honor or shame.”
Mabel descended to the breakfast. room a
different person. The elements of true wo-
manhood had so long slumbered in her breast
that only the rudest shock could have aroused
them. With their awakening came the cori-
viction of her unworthiness and a determina-
tion to regain the esteem she had lost.
Col. Holbeck was not present at the table,
and to the servant who waited upon him he
said, “Excuse me to your mistress, and
bring me a cup of coffee. I wish nothing
else.”
' “I will carry it to him myself," said Mabel,
when she received the message; and a few
moments later she entered the library, where
he was sitting.
said, softly, as she deposited the unique silver
breakfast service at his side.
He had not noticed her presence before.
He glanced hastily into her face and the
tears stood in his eyes.
“I do not know whether you can or not,"
he replied, almost wildly. “My brain is in
a whirl. These lmpcrs'L-pointing to the
heaps upon his other hand—‘ ‘represent all
I possmsed. I have been here all night, Ma—
bel, and my conviction, after a thorough in-
vestigation, is that we are almost beggars I"
“You must rest now, at any rate,” she
said, gently; “and when you have drunk 3
your cofl’ee we will talk our misfortune
over.”
Whilehe pln'took of his breakfast she
busicd herself in arranging the disordered
apartment. She turned oif‘the gas, which
still burned brilliantly, and throwing aside
the heavy curtains admitted the sunlight
into the room.
Not untilthcn did she observe the change
that had taken-place inher husband’s ap-
pearance. He was worn and haggard, and
his whole frame trembled as with an a e.
Mable sat down nearliilll, and leaning her
arms upon the table, looked into his face.
“Can I not mist you?” she
’ "You are too‘ easily Dec-enraged!” she ex—
claimed with emotion.
“I comprehé'nd our situation much more
fully than you do,” he replied, gloomily.
“0f the business details I am, of course,
ignorant,” she answered; “but they do not
alter nor affect the fact which so intimately
concerns us.”
“You realize it all, then, and yet your heart
is not broken?” he gasped, rather than asked.
“You refer to a conversation that passed
betvwen us years ago?" she inquired, the red
flush mantling her cheek, and the tears gath-
ering in her eyes.
“Yes; you told me that you would not care
to live if bereft of society and wealth. That
remembrance has been the bitterest drop in
this bitter, bitter cup E”
“Forget it!” she exclaimed, passionately.
“Forget that I was over so unwomanly; so
ungrateful! Our married life so far has
proven a failure, but there is time enough to
redeem it!"
Col. Holbeck could scarcely believe that he
heard aright.
“You are not jesting with me, Mabel l”
“Indeed, indeed I am not!” she exclaimed,
earnestly. “Although I have proved rccreaut
to the trust you once reposed in me, I am
worthier today to be your wife than I was
upon our bridal morning. If you will only
esteem me again as you once did you shall
never have cause to regret it I”
Col. Holbeck gathered her to his heart
and pressed his lips to her forehead.
There were but a few thousands left of all
the colonel’s vast estates, but that was
enough to enable them to live in case and re
tirement, and Mabel was only too pleased to
~ show by her future conduct that after all
she was not so heartless and selfish as she had
pretended, or even imagined.
A lucky speculation on the Stock Exchange
one day made the colonel richer than ever;
but Mabel insisted on their still remaining in
the country and devoting her leisure hours
to doing good to the poorer community
about her. To the indigent she was known
as “The Angel of Charity.” and her husband
often and often declared she was indeed “The
Old Man’s Darling."——New York Journal.
EUROPEAN DRINKS.
A BICYCLIST WRITES CONCERNING
CONTINENTAL CONCOCTIONS.
The Ale of England, the Wines and
V many and the Cofi‘ee of Turkey—Eng-
lish Mixed Drinks.
Whilst beer and ale might perhaps truth-
fully be called the national beverage of Eng-
land even these days, it is far lem so than it
was some years ago. Englishmen are taking
Very kindly of late to mixed drinks, and
drink almost as much whisky in proportion
to malt beverages as we do. The mixed
drinks of England difler very materially,
however, from those of this country. Shandy-
gatI, a mixture of ale and ginger, is a favorite
drink among English athletes and frequenters
of race courses and summer resorts. Another
odd mixture is known as dognose. Dognose
consists of two~thirds ale and one-third gin.
The consumption of dognose is confined
chiefly to the lower classes. It is drunk mostly
by old topers, whose stomachs have swilled
beer and porter and ’aIf-and-’alf until these
comparatively mild beverages no longer suf-
fice to satisfy their craving. The addition of
the fiery and penetrativo Old Tom makes-a
combination that goes home every time In
spite of their well seasoned condition.
The custom of drinking ale at meal times
in English families has made an unfavorable
impression among many American lady, visi-
tors. But there is as much to be said in favor
of it as against it. Mrs. John Bull recipro-
cntes with even more horror at our pitchers
of ice water on the table. Mrs. John Bull
would seem to have on her side the best of all
arguments, too, a robuster constitution and
fewer fieshly ills than her ice water drinking
sister.
acnoss THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.
What says Monsieur le Frenchman across
the English channel? Beer? Take it away;
the barbarous stuff, ilt only for the gross
palates of Germans and Albions. Whisky?
A little better; still altogether too gross and
solid for the mercurial Frenchman. His
favorite tipple is absinthe. This spirituelle
beverage floats around in Pierre Macelotte’s
nervous system, tingles the nerves and causes
him to feel patriotic and sans sodci. It causes
him to shout out in his imagination “Viva la
France I” and “On to Berlin.” This is what
honest Pierre likes, and since absinthe brings
it about, he drinks a good deal of it. Another
beverage is ten and rum. “The at rum” is a
favorite beverage with the French ladies, who
drop into cafes and sip it during the after-
noon promenade or when out shopping. Tile
French table d’hote is familiar enough to
many of us here. with its inevitAble boutelle
do vin ordinaire. This vin ordinaire, or com-
mon claret, may rightfully be considered the
national beverage of La Belle France, for
everybodydrinks it. In the common country
hotels it flows almost ais‘ free as water.
Passing into Germany, it seems hardly
worth while to remind the reader of German
lager. Everybody knows what is the na-
tional beverage of the Fatherland. The good
people of some German cities well nigh live
on beer. The women drink almost as freely
of it as their husbands and brothers. The
shopgirl or milliner's assistant in Munich will
trip Into the neighboring beer hall at noon,
and take for luncheon a quart mug of beer and
a piece of bread and a radish. In the evening
she wanders with her sweetheart into an :1
fresco beer garden and passes hour after hem-
lisiening to the band and drinking beer. For
dinner she has probably? consumed the second
or third quart of beer since morning and n
Frankfurter sausage sandwich. The natural
result of so much beer drinking in proportion
to solid food taken is to give the people of
Munich a kind of flabby appearance, and to
make them drowsy. The whole city seems to
be in a semi-comatose condition. The cab-
men fall asleep so often on their boxes that
the municipal authorities have found it neces-
sary to impose fines upon hackdrivers found
asleep at their post. Notwithstanding the
universal consumption of beer, however, the
Germans of the wealthier class drink a good
deal of schnapps.
HUNGARY—BULGARIA—IURKEY.
Beer holds its own all through Austria to
beyond Vienna, but wine and liquors usurp
the throne again in Hungary. All down the
valley of the Danube below Budapest the red
loam blufls fairly ooze the rich wine of Hun-
gnry. Every town and village has its adja-
cent vineyards, and every village gosthaus or
city hotel has an al fresco vine garden. Here
the good people congregate of an evening and
the hours away drinking wine, gossip-
ing and listening to the weird music of a
Hungarian Gypsy band. As in France, the
Hungarian peasant makes merry on red wine
that only the well‘ to do of most countries can
aflord to drink ad libitum.
Beer, wine and schnapps are common
enough all down through Slavonia and the
lower Danubian provinces, but a change
takes place when one gets fairly into the Bal-
kan peninsula. One now gets among the un-
speakable Orientals whose ways are not as
our ways.
beverages of Bulgaria, Roumelia and Turkey.
The former may be merely a glass of water
in which a lump of sugar has been dissolved,
or may be a concoction of fruit, sugar
and rose water, or of various mixtures be-
tween these two extremes. The drink called
mastic is said to be a preparation of imported
Boston rum and gum' mastic. It is a vile
liquor, and about as deadlyas the “bug juice”
of the Rocky niountaln saloons, but makes an
agreeable tasting beverage when mixed with
several times its bulk of water.
Kabvay (coffee), however, is the national
beverage of Turkey. It is served in tiny
cups, holding no more than a couple of table-
spooui’uls eadh. The coffeeis ground into fine
flour and used with such liberality that the
beverage is quite thick. It is served scalding
hot, and is imbibed by touching the lips cau-
tiously to the edge of the cup and sipping it
nut with the weaririess of a person who has
known all too often what it is to burn the
mouth. —Tl:lomas Stevens in New York Mail

DAY 011 ATONEMENT.
THE MOST SOLEMN EVENT IN THE
JEWISH CALENDAR.
Prayer and Fasting for Twenty-four
flours—Ancient Sucriilclnl Ceremonies.
Solemn Closing Service—\Venring: Ver-
itnble Shrouds—A Very Curious Custom.
In this time of materialistic thought the
average American can hardly understand,
still less can he appreciate, the awe and rev-
erence with which the Day of Atonement is
regarded by the Jew. It is the Inost sacred
twenty—four hours in the calendar of the
Hebrew. Into the minutes of that day are
woven the splendors of his ancient temples,
the pomp and ceremonial of the Mosaic rit-
ual, the sadness of a nation without a home.
The Jew was not contemned and a wanderer
when that‘sacred day was instituted.
By orthodox and reformed Jews alike this
day is held in reverence. Every one of the
Hebrew faith will observe it by fasting and
prayer. The time of this service is the tenth
day of the seventh month in the Jewish cal-
endar. The day is significant. It is
the tenth day to signify the com-
pleteness of the atonement; it is the
seventh month because the month closed
the festal half of the Mosaic year, and
thus, in a sense, formed its Sabbath; it is the
tenth day of the month, because, say the wise
men, on that day Adam sinned and repented,
Abraham was circumcised, and Moses came
down from the Mount and found his people
worshiping the golden calf. The day thus set
apart is strictly and solemnly kept. On it,
and on it alone, is there a fast enjoined. The
Jew is expected to “afflict his soul” all that
day, which means fasting in addition to re-
pentance and humiliation.
'rrm ANCIENT CEREMONIAL.
The ancient ritual included a ceremonial of
Oriental magnificence. The priests were
dressed in pure white linen, signifying sim-
plicity. Two goats were furnished by'tho
people upon which ware cast lots—one lot for
Jehovah and the other for Azazel, the name
of a bad spirit living in the wilderness. One
of these goats was killed as a sin offering
after the priest had slain a bullock; then fol-
lowed that singular ceremony of sending the
living goat into the wilderness. A man ap—
pointed the year before led the goat away
into a district from which there was no re-
turn path.
The idea of this procedure evidently was
that the sins which had symbolicallybeon
laid upon the goat did not return. The man
who had led the goat could not re-enter the
camp until he had washed his clothes and
himself. The high priest then took off his
linen garments, washed himself, put on his
usual dress and burned the fat of the other
goat upon the altar.
Since the destruction of Jerusalem the
Day of Atonement has not been observed
with such imposing ceremonial. But yet it
is kept up. In place of the sin offering there
isthe expiatory prayer. in which there are
many beautiful passages. The modern ob-
servance of the day consists of a rigorous
fast, beginning at sunset and continuing
until the next evening at60’clock. Not a
drop of water nor a morsel of food can be
taken in that time. This observance is bind-
ing on every Jew, except those who are too
ill to risk the fast. The synagogue services
begin about sunset and last several hours.
They are resumed the following morning at
6 o‘clock and continue until sunset. The
services consist of a set ritual of prayers for
forgivenness, expressions of contrition and
promises of amendment. Selections from
the law and prophet-s are read, and addresses
upon the topics of the day are made by the
rabbis. The music for the day is pitched in
a tone of special solemnity. A striking
feature of the service is the memorial of the
dead. so called, in which not alone the names
and virtues of departed members of the con-
gregation are mentioned, but the fact of
their departure is used to pointalesson of
morality, and their memory employed to in-
cite ‘the pious emulation of those who mourn
them. In many congregations very large
collections are taken up for benevolent pur-
poses.
SOLEDN CLOSING snuvrca.
The closing service, which begins just be-
fore sundown, is pitched In a still higher key
of solemnity. The synagogue is then crowded
to its utmost. Those who have gone out dur-
ing the day for air—ill is very wearisome sit-
ting in a crowded room for twelve hours; he-
sides, the effects of the fast are beginning to
be felt—return encouraged by the knowledge
that the close of the service is near. The re-
spouses are louder. The rabbi ascends the
steps of thank to close its doors, which
have been open all day. The whole congre-
gation, standing, repeat the Shemang or He—
bl'cw declaration of faith: “Here, oh, Israel,
the Lord our God is one. ”
repetition of the people’s cry upon Mount
Carmel in Elijah’s time seven times: “The
Loni bcis God.” The doors of the ark are
closed and a single blast is blown upon a
rule’s horn, which dismisses the congrega—
tion. The article used in the service which
probably comes the nearest in resemblance
to the one used in Jerusalem before the Jew
bung his harp upon the willows is this rnm's
born. It is just such an instrument as that
which Joshua and his band blew upon when
the walls of Jericho fell. Some little skill is
required to blow it. It emits but one note,
and that of a peculiarly weird and mournful
character.
Following the custom established by the
priests in the early history of the cult, it has
gen the habit from time immemorial for the
men to wear the veritable shrouds or gar-
ments intended to be used at their burial.
This practice, however, among the wealthier
Jews of this city has fallen into disuse.
Among the poorer congregations the white
garments are still worn. But rich and poor
alike yet cling‘to the little white cap which is
worn on the Day of Atonement.
A very curious ceremony in connection:
with this day is practiced by strict Jews. On
the day previous to the Day of Atonement
each man takcsa cock and each woman a
ben, and swinging it three times around the
bead they each exclaim: “May this cock (hen)
be my atonement! This cock (hen) shall go
to death that I may go into the life of the
blessed with all Israel. Amen." The fowls
are then killed and given to the poor, or else
kept and their value given.
A highly cultured rabbi, when asked this
morning if he made any preparations for the
fast by catinga hearty meal, replied there
was a time in his experience when he did so,
but'llc had found that such a course was in-
jurious. Now he eats only an ordinary meal.
But an aged clothing dealer op Chatham
street pursues a different course. He eats all
that he can hold and says he suffers no ill
effects from so doing.-—New York Sun.
Patent Leather Shoes.
“Call patent leather boots be kept from
crackin i Humph, well, ‘I should say they

maker whom' an inquisitive reporter ap-
proacllulon the subject shrugged his shoul-
ders and smiled the smile of one who knows
much.
“But how can you prevent this detruc.

for patent leather can be made to look well

in the buying. No fine shoe can be found in
the stores that will exactly lit. Patent
leather, unlike other foot covering, must be
perfectly shaped to the wearer‘s foot, other-
wise crecses will immediately form,~wllich if
not all ended to will make great cracks. Now
a good shoe of this kind should, with proper
care, last the average man two seasons, and
will at the end of this time be scratched to
be sure, but not cracked. Every couple of
days a bath of oil should be given the boots.
Any oil will do, but neat’s foot is preferable,
and mice a week at least linseed oil should be
applied. This treatment will make the
leather soft and pliable. After each appli-
cation the shee should be wiped dry with a
rough woollen rag, and there you are. The
tirade made by some alleged medical experts
against patent leather amounts to nothing,
for this material makes a comfortable and
healthy covering for the foot, and when
made properly admits all the air necessary to
keep the skin and circulation in perfect
order."
“Is it being worn as much as ever?”
“Bless you, yes, and a hundred times more.

of any other leather this year. and, putting it

A SGALY, ITGIIING, SKIN DISEASE WITII
ENDLESS SUFFERING GURED BY
OUTIOURA REMEDIES.
If i had known of the CU'I‘ICURA REMEDIES
twenty-chht years ago It would have saved me
$200.00 (two hundred dollars) and an immense
amount. of suiicrlng. My disease (l’sorlasls) colu-
lncnccd on my head In a spot not larger than a
cent. 11. spread rapidly all over my body and got
under my nails. The scales would drop 01! of me
and my snIIcrlng was endless and without
relief. one thousand dollars would not tempt Inc
to have this disease over again. 10111 a poor luau,
but feel rich to bc rcllevcd of what. some of the
doctors said was leprosy, solnc ring-worm, pso-
rlams, etc. I took and Snrsaparillas over
OIIC'yt‘ill‘ and a half, but no cure. I cannot praise
the Cu'l-ICUIIA REMEDIES too much. They have
made my skln as 010m and free from scales all a
baby’s. All 1 used of them was three boxes of
UU'I'ICURA, and three bellies eI' CUTIOUNA RHSOI.~
VEN'I‘ and two cakes of CU'I'IOUIIA SOAP. If you
had been here and said you would have cared me
for $200.00 you would have hall the money. 1
looked Ilka Inc picture in your book of Psoriasis
(picture No. 2, "How to Cure Skill Diseases"), but
now I am as clear as any person ever was.

arms and legs to scratch once in a while. but to no
purpose. 1 am all well. I scratched twenty-
clght years, and It got to he a Kind of second

Catarrhal Dangers.
To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breathe freely. sleep soundly
and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear,
brain active and free from pain or ache; to know
that no poIsonous. putrid, matter denies the
breath and rots away the delicate machinery of
smc11, taste and hearing; to feel thatthe system
does not, through its value and arteries, suck up
the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy,
is indeed a blessing beyond all other human c11-
joylnents. To purchase immunity from such a
fate should be the object of all atillcted. But
those who have tried many remedies and phy-
sicians despair of relief or cure. f

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls or e entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. Iuagrcat majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease. the pensioner is
entltled to an Increase of rule. and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or Injuries llle
dIsabIIIty increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at Ilrst rated too low, and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner 1s
entitled to Increase on a disabilil y not set forth In
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. [make a specially

present me with aDrIef stalement of your case,
stating by whom it was presented. I will obtaln a
rehearing of your case, and, It it has merit. will
procure a favorable settlement Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when it
only requires a competent attorney to make them
good cases. Soldiers Merino with disabilities
contracted in sen'l‘ce, who have not applied for a
pension, should do so as it is their RIGHT.

Securing the (rifles poor mortals need,
And pitying the sage and fool!
Lying at rest on earth's fair breast
No battle of life to win;
Fate‘s stern behest is a merry jest
And time only makes him grin.
What joy he finds when the rushing winds
Sing gleefully o‘er his head!
But the damp, cold rain he never minds—
What a rare life lead the dead!—
His wants, though simple, he has at hand,
And all on the best of terms,
While the finest fare at his command
Ill: serves to his guest, the worms.
Careless of cart, and fancy i‘rce.
I’d give all ave just a corpse to he.

PAIR OF DANCING TURKEYS.
Device of n Cruel but Ingenious Dur-
kccpcl- to Attract Custom.
In a saloon on Frank-ford avenue a reporter
saw, the miller day, two turkeys dancing to
‘ the strains of 1111 orguillctte. It was a strange
s'gllt to see the ungainly birds bobbing up and
. down, first on one foot, then on the other,
then up with both feet. circling and wheeling
I iil'OlIIllI. each other, chasseiug and changing
i HIIIL'S, keeping perfect time with an orguinctto
I Illl‘llL'Il by the band of the barkecper.
I All the onlookers were mystified, while the
I burilccper grinned and rakedin the nickels
which were paid over the bar by the amused
: c1‘ou‘d.~
2 Though the turkeys apparently kept time
. to the music,‘tho reporter noticed that they
' danced on when the music stopped, raising
first one foot and then the other, and as they
warmed to thcir work their steps grew faster
and faster, the musician raising his speed to
kecp up with the jumping birds. The fun
keys, while going through their performance,
were confined in a wire cage at the end of the
' bar. The'cage was about three feet square
and five feet high, and the floor of the cage
was thin sheet iron.
The reporter, after the crowd went out, in-
vestigated the dancing turkeys and discov-
ered the method by which they were taught
——or rather compelled—to move. He found
that the plan was ingenious, though cruel.
They wel’e made to dance by means of fire.
Underneath the sheet iron cage floor there
was a shelf set, leaving a space of about
three inches, into which was fittedan iron
slide. When the man wanted the turkeys to
' dance he would quietly get ashovel of live
| coals from the kitchen stove, distribute them
I over the iron slide and slip it into place un-
I der the sheet iron cage deer, aud in five min-
( ates the turkey fandango would be in full
. blast. First one foot would be raised, then
the other, and so on, the pace quickeningas
the beat increased, until the birds would be
going as fast as they could lift their feet, and
they would keep it up until the floor would
cool off again. ,
, “They know what’s coming now as soon as
I I begin to feel with the slide," said the bar-
1: keeper, “and they begin to dance without
waiting for the floor to be heated. It’s a
good card for the place while it lasts. but I
guess the novelty will soon wear off. I’m
getting tired of it myself already."-—Phila~
dolphin News.
lludcncss of the Traveling Public.
The other day at dinner the conversation
turned upon the selfish rudeness of a portion
of the traveling public. One of the persons
at the table related this incident: Some
months ago the passengers on a night train
- on a branch railroad were kept awake by the
loud and incessant conversation indulged. in
by two men sitting at one end of the ear.
There were no sleeping cars attached to the
train, and one of the men in the course of
their wearisome babble remarked: “It seems
to me that a road which doesn‘t furnish
sleepers ought at least to fit up theircars
with head rests, such as you find on some of
the eastern roads.” thereupon a voice at
the other end of thecar replied: “Headrests
wouldn’t help much in this car so long as
those two man down at the other end keep on
talking.” The passengers roared with de-
light, and one of the two offenders bristled up
and declared he‘d talk just as muchas be
pleased, but pretty soon quiet reigned. The
passenger who so neatly administered the
needed reproof was Edward Everett Hale.—

which she always makes, and which, perhaps,
descended to her from her mother and grand~

cushions, with pills and bobbins, and. some
are using needles and the finest and most deli-

all made by hand, and it is so delicate that it
