INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to amuch higher rule of pension than they now
receive. lnagreat majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease. the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As tune passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first. rated too low, and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensmner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims. and if you Will
present me witha brief statement of your case,
stating by whom it was presented, I Will obtain a.
rehearing of your case, and, if 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 suflering with dzsabzlztws
contracted in service, who have not appltedfor a
mien, should do so as it is their RIGHT.

Something About Kisses.
That a kiss has been of importance in his-
tory we all know, and that woman’s kisses
have made and unmade kingdoms. The most
famous of kisses always seem to me that one,
or that many, given by the Duchess of Gor-
don when she recruited an entire regiment,
the Gordon Highlanders, better known as the
Ninety-second, by having each man take the
“queen’s shilling” from between her teeth, so
that he bad, if he wanted, a good opportunity
to kiss her. It is almost unnecessary to say
that the gallant laddies who fought so well
1 at lVaterloo did not resist the charm of a
lovely woman’s mouth. However, remember
’ the kiss in vogue and just remember this.
too:
Q You will find. my dear boy. that the dearly prized
I kiss,
2 Which with rapture you snatched from the half
' willing miss,
ls sweeter by far than the legalized kisses
You give the same girl when you‘ve made her a
3 Mrs.
This is slangy, but' it’s the sad, sad truth.
Do you know how to kiss? asks a connois-
seur. If you are a man you giveh semi-
scornful and semi-condescending smile at this
question and make no answer. If you are a
woman you laugh a merry laugh and wonder
what kind of a. kiss you are expected to be
acquainted with. Why, the latest, of course.
And it is.Z For your sweetheart to stoop over
you and kiss you just back of your shell like
car. If you are wise, that is Where you put
a little perfume, and the chances are he will
kiss you not once but twice there, and tell
you that kissing you is like putting one's lips
to the heart of a. great red rose. This is nat
ural in him, but it shows that he does not
realize the difference between a kiss made
perfect by art and that which is flower like
by nature. What do I mean? '1 has the next
thing to kissing a flower is kissingr a baby.
You take that in your arms, you look in its
clear eyes—eyes that have never been sad‘
dened by looking on anything but the pleas-
ures of life—you put your lips to its rosebud
of a. mouth and then you kiss it, and then
you know that you have inhaled the perfume
of a flower—tho flower of the flock—New

Life on a Cuban Plantation.
In Dakota and Manitoba the employment
on single wheat estates of a hundred reapers
and an aggregate of three hundred laborers
for a season has been regarded as something
unprecedented in agricultural industry; but
, on one sugar esiite in Cuba—“El Balboa”-
from fifteen hundred to two thousand hands,
invariably negroes, are employed, who work
under severe discipline, in watches or relays,
during the grinding season, by day and
night, the same as in the large iron mills and
furnaces of the United States and Europe.
At the same time there are few village com«
munities where a like number of people ex—
perience the same care and surveillance. The
male workers occupy quarters walled and
barricaded from the women, and the women
from the men.
There are in every village an infirmary, a
lying in hospital, a physician; an apothceary,
a chapel and priest. At night and morning
mass is said in chapel, and the crowds are al-
ways large. There is of a Sunday less re
straint, though ceaseless espionage is never
remitted. On these days and in parts of holi—
days there are rude mirth, ruxler music and
much dancing. This picture is given some-
what in detail, because it illustrates how all
pervading and tremendous are the forces that
are modifying society everywhere, in civil-
ized, partially civilized and barbarous coun-
tries, conjointly with the new conditions of
production and consumption—Hon. David
l A. W'clls in Popular Science Monthly.
The Moving Rock.
In one of the Twin lakes, a few miles east
of Lakeville, is a rock known as “Moving
Rock.” It is close in shore, in about four feet
of water, and rushes grow up all around it.
Fifteen years ago this rock was far out in the
lake, and in size was nearly ten times what it
is today. It was noticed one spring fourteen
years ago that there was more of the rock out
of the water than usual, and some of the in-
quisitive fishermen who then frequented the
lake tried to find the cause. They looked
clown into the water and they could easily see
the bottom. They also saw. much to their
astonishment, that there was a deep furrow
; in the yellow clay, and that in length it was

fact some attribute its. renmrkublc travels.
The general opinion among the iatlves is that
the ice, when it breaks up each swing, is
piled in tons upon the rock by the north
winds, which have a clean sweep over the
lake, and thus the rock is driven closer and
closer in toward the rink—Boston Tran—

Sensitive of His Honor.
Last evening two youths, each about 1-1,
met In the street. when the following (lia-
loguc took place: .
“I say, Bill, you got my knife.”
“No, I ain’t."
. “ ’Pon your word .3"
l “ ’Pon me word.”
I “ ’Pon your souls”
“ ’Pon me soul.”
“Hope you may die if you have?”
. “Hope I may die if I have.” .
lip-“You ain’t got my knife}.
“I ain’t got your knife."
The querist seemed to be incredulous, but
was on the point of giving it up in despair
when a bright idea occurred to him. and he
returned to the attack with:
“ ’Pon your honor 9”
“Oh,” said the other, "now you touch me
honor; take your darned old knife.” and he
handed the article over. _
“Well done, Bill," said his chum; “I allus
knowed you was a honorable chap.”~Net

Eugenie and the Monkey.
Believersin the Darwinian theory of the
descent of man should be cheered by a little
story told by a. French paper about the visit
of the Empress Eugenie to Egypt in 1869 to
open the Suez canal. The empress brought
back with her a certain monkey which she
had received as a present, and Jacko subse—
quently delighted the court by administering
a. severe bite to M. Emile Ollivier, who was
never a popular personage. That monkey
evidently meant to give M. Olllvier a hint to
withdraw from the Tuileries, and if the
“Cant lager” had only taken it he would
not have become prime minister, the war of
the following year might have been averted
and the history of France changed. The
menkey was wiser than his mission—Lon-

Chief Hell. of the .‘H‘th Service. Iruke
Up the Cough—The lisrxpo of Guyon.
The making of money by the government
has been described a. thousand times—how
the paper is rolled from pulp at Dalton,
Mass, and a mysterious sill; thread woven
into it, which combination is about the only
thing a counterfelter can‘t imitate; how each
plate is engraved in four pieces, no one man
making the whole plzzze, in fear that he will
repeat the o}‘ieratlou , how the four pieces are
placed together, and an Impression taken
from the whole on a soft roller: how an im-
pression is made. from this on a piece of soft
steel, which Is afterward hardened; how
each sheet of paper is counted, and now the
plate printers ink and wipe off the plates by
band, with all the safeguards thrown about
the process to prevent an operator in any
way securing a bill. or the means of making
one.
The great obstacle in the way of continu-
ous, brazen and successful counterfeiting is
the secret service of the treasury department.
It is composed of a chief, a few clerks and a
minimum of about fifty detectives, which is
sometimes considerably increased when work
piles up on them, as it did when, within a
few weeks, no less than fifteen counterfeiters
were caught, all for passing a ten dollar
“Webster head” treasury note, printed from
a plate whose history probably has no par-
allel.
A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
It was in February, 1880, that this note ap
peared at Chicago, and the arrest on suspi-
cion soon followed of Terrence Mullen, 01" Chi—
cago, and Jim Keneally, of St. Louis. Mullen
had been arrested in 13713 with others for a
conspiracy to steal the body of Abraham Lin-
coln from its tomb at Springfield, and hold it
for the ransom of Ben Boyd, a noted Chicago
counterfeiter, who had been convicted and
sentenced for a yes ‘. ’l‘bese arrests led to
the arrest of John Bo vdre, alias John Hill,
in May, 1850, on a flatboat in the Mississippi
river, near St. Louis, with $19,030 of these
tens in his possession, 2,278 sheets of paper
out the size of the note, and a steel plate for
printing upon the paper a good imitation of
fiber.
Bowdre was imprisoned, and through him
it was learned that James Guyon, alias Hank,
alias Ha: .:.* -:-., lizui sto en the plates and
840,000 or‘ . 'gerous" tens. It was as
though Guy‘ and ice plates and money had
dropped 0111. of existence. For more than
seven years nothing «as heard of them, until
last February it u :;s flushed from a dozen
banks in as many Western cities, almost simul-
taneously, that the “Webster head” had again
appeared. Sure enough it was the counter-
feit of 1880, of which Guyon held the mo-
nopoly, again in the field.
At once Chief Bell of the secret service cou-
centrated his men and took the field himself.
Adozen arrests soon followed, all of them
persons who had purchased the notes from
others. Through the attorney who defended
some of these men it. was learned that Nelson
Briggs and his wife, Gertrude, who kept a
road house near Dayton, 0., were “middle
men” for the sale of the money. Chief" Bell
secured an introduction to Briggs as “Andrew
Moll’illianis,” a crooked attorney at‘ law of
Hartford, Conn. l-lis plans to make his iden-
tity good were ingenious and thorough. He
was received without suspicion as one who
wished to deal in the "(.111001‘,” and then en-
sued weeks of fencing and diplomacy on both
sides, a description of whim would fill a book.
The manner in which Chief Bell ingratlatcd
himself into the good graces of the two would
have been worthy of Yidocq. Drigggs met his
- “d1"
wife in )l'IsOll and when thew had served ‘
7 J
their time, married llf'l', lliougli she was less
than one-third of his :i;_:e. She was suscepti—
ble to flattery, like most people, and Bell’s

The first can was delivered and paid for in

went for the second he was quietly taken in
custody by Bell’s assistants, rho were hidden
outside, and the chief himself suavely in-
formed Gerty that she was his prisoner. Se
era] men had been set to watch Guyou. Three
of them folio ved him to an adjacent wood on
their hands and knees through a field of cats.
They were close on his heels as he kneeled
down beside an old stump of a tree to get the
money. He could have been captured many
times, but the purpose was to capture him
with some of the money in his possession.
As he was uncovering the tin cans a ter-
rific shriek came from the direction of the
hotel. It was the scream of G-erty when put
under arrest. Instinctively Guyon’s trained
eartold himthere was trouble. He sprang
to his feet and ran like a deer. Douella, one
of the detectives, called on him to halt and
throw up his hands. He did, but it was be
hind a tree, and he threw up his band quick
as lightning and shot Donella, tearing a piece
from the side of his head. Donella dropped.
Guyon sprang away tirough the underbrush,
and that is the last seen of him. though Chief
Bell vows he Will have him behind the bars
at no distant clay. Over $20,000 of the “Web
ster- heads” were captured, but they were of
a later issue than the $40,000, and it isnot
known that any of them had been passed, but
the plate is not captured, and so the romantic
history of that ten years old plate is not yet
ended—Washington Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

The daylight, dying, yields to shade,
While golden frescoes gild the sky,
As transient as the hopes of youth.
’Twixt zenith and horizon poised;
Float lightly flecks of urgent cloud—
Theu all the west to amber melts
As if ‘twerc tissue of a dream.
The twilight's pensive breaths floats in
And seals with dtfiv the lily‘s lips:
Dim evening comes in sable robes.
That lingering lights with luster Hinge,
And round the verge of Heaven draws
A purple thread to bind her veil
Upon the dusky brow of night.
From oil" the bill a cooling lireezce--
The passing: sigh of one today—
Drifts down, and silence reigns without:

he has just done a thing which indicates a
change of his mind. One of our theatres is
making ready elaborately for the production
of a melodrama of city life. One of the
characters is named J ee Gold, and he is
meant to be a counterpart of Jay Gould. I
understand that it is undecided whether to
employ an actor who looks like Gould, or can
produce a resemblauc but it is settled that.
the part will be that of an extremely rich
W'all street capitalist and manipulator. One
scene is to represent the billiard room in
Gould’s city residence. The theatre folks did
not suppose that they could copy the apart-
ment exactly, and so their scene painter
went to George Slosson, the billiardist, who
had once been employed by Jay Gould and
his son George to teach the game to members
of the family. The plan was to use Slosson’s
recollection in modeling and painting the
view. But Slosson rather thought ‘ that
Gould might afford access to the room for
the purpose and a. polite, urbane, persuasive
fellow was sent on the doubtful errand to the
millionaire.
“I suppose you’ll make the scene, anyhow,”
Mr. Gould replied, “so I think you might as
well be right. Send your scene painter to
my house, and I will give orders for his ad-
mission.”
Thus it will come about that Jay Gould’s
billiard room will be seen by theatre assem-
blages exactly as it looks—New York Letter.
The Judge‘s Training.
Police Justice Duffy was at one time the
bean ideal of a. pedagogue. He knew the
names of more boys and girls in the First
ward than the parish priest, and he had more
control over them by reason of his position
as principal of the public school. “Tomy
training in this calling,” quoth the judge to
me yesterday, “do I attribute any measure of
success I may have attained on the bench.
Boys and girls are the primers of humanity,
and the man who studies them carefully will
master the rudiments of that indispensable
branch of education. He who can read the
character of an arch delinquent urchin, and
penetrate the mystery hidden behind the
beautiful eyes of a mischievous miss of 12 or
1-1, will have little difficulty in estimating the
value of a prisoner’s statement in the Tombs
or other police court. The boy is father to
to the man; the girl is mother to the woman.
Friction and circumstances muddle the mix-
ture. Allow for them and you are all right.”

The Inventof of the Oratorio.
St. Philip Keri, to whom a statue is to be
raised in Rome, was, accordin ,1; to tradition,
a great mi ‘aele worker, but his claim to our
grateful consideration lies in the fact that he
was the real inventor of the oratorio. He was
born in 1:315 in Florence and about 1501 con-
secrated as a priest at Rome. l’y'hcn later he
founded a congregation of priests at Rome he
used to explain to them biblical histories,
and in order to render these entertainments
attractive be permitted hyin' s and psalms to
be sung between the intervals of his teach-
ings and CKllin‘lilIIOllS. At length he draina-
tizexl sacred stories, writing them in verse
and seizing: tie. l to music in the fashion of
hymns. The chitin 3:, written in four parts,
were in 'l‘spei oil with solos, and the plays
u‘crc divulezl zito two parts. The sermon
was delivered. after the. first part, and thus

Labor flavors.
Au ingenious scheme for obtaining firewood
was worked for a time by a colored resident
of Starkc, Fla. He put a pair of vicious ours
in his yard, and allowed them to run out and
attack pedestrians. The latter, for defense,
would never pass the place unless they were
provided with an arinf‘ul of pine knots to
chunk the dogs with. At night the dorky
gathered up the dogs’ earnings for the day,
and found fuel enough not only for the
homely department, but a surplus to lay
for Winter. But now his curs are brig
poisoned, and their owner sits on a stump be-

An Incorrect Theory.
The generally accepted theory that a. warm
summer follows a cold winter, and vice versa
has been examined by Science with the aid 0
temperature records made in the same place,
under the same conditions, twice a day fdi'
forty years. Science cannot find any rule (in
the subject, and comes to the conclusion that
‘no estimate can beformed in regard to the A
character of the past season of any greater
value than could be gained by more guessing.
The First Sleeping Cars.
Suppose you tell us where the first sleeping
cars were used and when. Be careful there;
steady—don’t jump at the answer and say
they were Pullman cars and were run on
a. western road, because you are wrong. The
first sleeping carswere used on the Cumber-
land Valley railroad from 1836 to 1848. And,
strange to say, that road doesn’t run sleeping
can at this day—Harrisburg Telegraph.
