INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. In a great 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 time 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 pensioner 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 with a 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 sufl‘ering with disabilities
contracted in service, who have not appliedfor a
pensicm, should do so as it is their RIGHT.

Getting Even with the Condemned. ,
Nearly a score of years ago, when I was a
reporter on a St. Louis daily, on atrocious
murder was committed in a locality about
two hundred miles away. A farmer killed
his wife, mother and brother, and then coolly
sat down on the doorsteps and waited to be
arrested. He admitted the cMe, explained
his reasons, and in due course of time was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged. A
few days previous to the date of execution
we got a sly pointer that the murderer was
going to make a. statement or confession of
startling interest, and the city editor bundled
me oil“ in a hurry to get a “scoop.” I found
the sheriff a. very good natured man, and
very soOn after my arrival I was permitted
to see the condemned. Iexplained why I had
come, and he replied: '
“Yes, I am going to make a statement; but
how do I lmow you are what you represent?"
“Here is my card 3”
“But that won’t go. Any one can print
what he like: on a card. I want a certificate
from the paper. ”
l telegraphed to the city editor, and he
telegraphed me back a “character,” but the
prisoner shook his head and said:
“I can’t take anything of that sort. 1
want a written certificate.”
It took me two days to get it, and I was in
a sweat all the time for fear some other pa-
per would get onto the ease. I lost no time
in getting up to the jail with the paper, and
the condemned read it carefully, and then
observed:
“I am now quite satisfied that you are all
right”
“And now for the statement,” I replied,
getting out paper and pencil. .
“Well, you can say that after mature re-
flection I have decided to declare that I am
innocent of the murder of which 1 have been
convicted.”
“But-but—you”—
“That’s the statement, sir, and that’s all.
I claim to be an innocent man. Good night."
I had been bad] y sold. That was the sum
and substance of the sensation, and indeed
all he would say—New York Sun.
Strange Meeting.
Years before California became a part of
the United States a Scotch boy named David
Spouse was sent out to the Pacific coast by a
mercantile house as its agent to purchase
hides and tallow. He settled at Monterey,
married a California young lady, grew in
honor and wealth, and had “Don” prefixed
to his name. '
It was the custom of the people of Mon-
terey to give a grand fandango to the officers
of any man-of-war which visited their har-
bor. One day an English man-of-war ap-
peared in the harbor, and Don David Spense
was sent on board to tender the hospitaiites
of the citizens to the officers.
The captain thanked him, but said he must
decline, as the vessel would put to sea that
night. He gave, however, leave to the offi-
cers to go on shore, and the first lieutenant
accepted a seat in David’s boat.
“If I am not mistaken, you are a country-
man of mine,” said the lieutenant.
“I am Scotch,” answered Spense.
Conversation disclosed that they were both
natives of the same town.
. “Let me see, let me see,” said the oflicer.
‘ “Yes, I knew a Widow Spense, who lived
there in a handsome house along time ago-
’ yes, and she had one son about my ago.”
“Your name, lieutenant, is Barclay?" said
Spense.
“It is,” replied the officer.
“Oh, it must be sol” said Spense, throwing
open his arms. “You are the boy I thrashed
thirty-five years ago for breaking my moth‘
er’s window on a Christmas morning.”
“The same.”
The two men were locked in each other’s
arms, and the captain, on hearing of the rec-
ognition, remained in the harbor over night,
so that they had the fandango.-—Youth’s

Cleaning Milk Cans and Pans.
In washing out milk cans and pans, Where
there are quite a number of them, it is the
general custom with many to pour boiling
hot water into a few, allow it to remain
there for several minutes, and then pour it
into others, and so on—one supply of hot
water made to suffice for the cleaning of all.
It naturally follows that the water soon loses
much of its heat, and those vessels in which
it is used last are very indifferently treated,
and cold water would have been quite as ser-
viceable in some respects. Whatever is used
to hold milk should be boiled before it is
called into service. Warm water may be
sufficient for the removal of dirt, but neither
that nor even boiling water used as described
will clean cans, etc., as they ought to be
cleaned. Milk is notorious for its absorbent
powers, taking up bad odors and the germs
that float in the air. It 1.. also one of the
best mediums known for the growth of such
germs. Boiling water will kill these germs
if they remain in it long enough, but a hasty
contact is never sufficient to destroy them or
their spores—or seeds—which latter are very
To clean milk vessels properly
they must be filled with water and then be
put in a hot oven or on the top of a. hot stove
to boil. And if boiled well for a few moments
they are made safe; that is the only domestic
way of making them so. One observer re-
commends the use of sal soda in washing milk
vessels because it acts chemically upon fatty
matters (grease), and this helps to remove
them and other materials which adhere tothe
vessels with them. “In like manner the use
of live steam to dry vessels after washing has
the advantage of sterilizing them, i. e., kill-
ing the bacteria by the highly heated steam.”

Mathews and the Bailiff.
One night as he was entering the stage
door. of the Lyceum a bailiff tapped him on
the shoulder. “Why have you not renewed
the bill?” asked the man. “He” (the credi-
tor). replied Mathews, “wouldn’t renew it.”
“Well, then, just write your name across
this,” said the man, producing a long slip of
blue paper with a stamp at the corner.
Mathews did so. “Now I’m your creditor,
and shall be happy to renew if you can’t pay
at the end of the time.” And with these
words he disappeared. He had paid the debt
out of his own pocket to save the actor from
prison. Who shall talk about stony hearted
bailiffs after thatl—H. Barton Baker in The

Choose That Should Not Be Eaten.
Professor Vaughan, of Ann Arbor, Mich.,
says of cheese: “I think that it can be posi-
tively stated that any cheese which will in-
stantly and intensely redden litmus paper
should not, be eaten. This is atest easy of
application, and every merchant on cutting
a fresh cheese should make it. If the cheese
isdry abit of it should be moistened with,
water and the litmus paper then applied. ”-

. Tuberculosis.
Three St. Louis physicians have given a
paper on tuberculosis.
The disease known as tuberculosis, they
say, and when affecting the lungs as pulmo-
nary tuberculosis (consumption),is very com-
mon in the human being and in certain of'the
domestic animals, especially cattle. About
one-fourth of all deaths occurring in the hu-
man being during adult life are caused by it, ‘
and nearly one-half of the entire population
at some time in life acquire it. The disease
is the same in nature in animals and in man
and has the same cause. It has been proved
beyond a. doubt that a living germ, called the
tubercle bacillus, is the cause and the only
cause of tuberculosis. It does not seem nec-
essary to state the facts upon which this as-
sertion is based, for the observation first
made by Robert Koch in 1882 has been con-
firmed so often and ‘so completely that it new
constitutes one of the most absolutely demon-
strated facts in medicine. Tuberculosis may
aficct any organ of the body, but most fre-
quently first involves the lungs. When the
living germs find their way into the body they
multiply there, if favorable conditions for
their growth exist, and produce small new
growths or nodules (tubercles), which tend to
soften. The discharges from these softened
tubercles, containing the living germs, are
thrown off from the body. In pulmonary
tuberculosis these discharges constitute, in
part, the expectoration. The germs thus
thrown of! do not grow outside the living
human or animal body, except under arti-
ficial conditions, although they may retain
their vitality and virulence for long periods
of time, even when thoroughly dried. As
tuberculosis can only result from the action
of these germs, it follows from what
has just been said that when the disease
is acquired it must result from receiving
into the body the living germs that
have come from some other human being or
animal affected with the disease. It has been
abundantly established that the disease may
be transmitted by meat or milk from the
tubercular animal. The milk glands in milch
cows often become affected with the disease
when their lungs are involved, and the milk
from such animals may contain the living
germs and be capable of producing the disease.
Among stall fed dairy COWS 20,per cent. or 30
per cent. are sometimes found to be affected
"with the disease. II‘uberculi‘u' animals are
also frequently killed for food, their flesh
sometimes containing the germs, and if not
thoroughly cooked is capable of transmitting
the disease. Boiling the milk or thoroughly
cooln'ng the moat destroys the germs.
Mnskrats and Pond Lilies.
About fifi» » :1 years ago I became quite on-
thusiastic in regard to introducing pond lilies
into my grounds. Having a piece of low
land where the water remained nearly up to
the surface all summer, and near a creek
from which more water could be obtained if
needed, I took out 200 loads of muck as a
beginning, using it for composting with
barnyard manure. A near neighbor having
caught the “muck fever,” I allowed him to
send his teams and take out 1,000 leads; this,
with myownexcavations, gave me a very
nice pond two to three feet deep, fifty feet
wide and nearly 200 long. I first planted
neiumbium luteum, which was a great suc-
cess, and the third year hundreds of plants
bloomed, much to my own gratification and
my neighbors’ who visited my lily pond.
Other varieties and species were introduced,
and I began to feel pretty sure that I had at
last struck one family of plants that needed
no coddling, but could take care of them-
selves, requiring no fertilizer, booing, weed-
ing, staking nor dusting with poisonous com-
gounds for destroying their insect enemies.
ut enemies came, and worked so slyly and
silently that they were not even suspected of
being around until the glory of my lily pond
had disappeared, then it was discovered that
muskrats were feasting on the tubers of the
nelumbium, but did not trouble those of the
common water lily (nymphoea odorata). The
latter remains in great numbers and my pond
is well stocked with it, but of other species
not one plant remains. Being thankful for
small favors, I shall love and cling to the
little water nymph so long as she clings to
me.—American Agriculturist.
Und ersold the Owner.
“Your reference to the bantering style of
doing business calls up many funny reminis-
cences,” said an old merchant. “I must tell
you of one occurrence that took place in a
neighboring country store. The proprietor
was noted for being particularly affable and
obliging to his customers, and he had a clear'
headed and smart young man for clerk. One
day one of the best customers of the concern
called to buy a dress pattern. The price was
seventy-five cents, and after a long talk the
clerk closed the bargain at seventy cents.
While the clerk was selecting trimmings,
etc, in another part of the store the genial
proprietor came along, rubbing his hands,
inquired after the family of the customer,
praised her taste in selecting that particular
piece of goods, and as a. special favor to a
good customer let her have it for sixty-eight
cents per yard. The clerk returned and the
lady told of th reduction the proprietor had
made. The cl k was furious, but not in the
least disconcerted. He saw that if the cus-
tomers thought that he was selling higher
than others in the store they would avoid him
and his discharge would follow. 80 he says:
“ ‘I just looked at the bill and can sell you
that piece at sixty-five cents a yard.’
“When the deal was completed the pro-
prietor was as angry as the clerk.
“ ‘Do you know that I made the price
sixty-eight cents?’ said the proprietor.
“'Yes,’ said the clerk, ‘but I want you to
understand that no man can undersell me in
this store.’
“He kept his_job.”—Utica Observer.
Oddities of the Foot.
Are your feet mates? is a strange query, but
every shoemaker will tell you it is a most
reasonable one. Many people buy their shoes
already made, and find it exceedingly dis-
agreeable to “break them in.” A new shoe,
unless too tight or too loose, should never be
painful to wear. Unless 'you have a last of
your own, or your feet are the same size, you
will always have trouble until the ready made
shoe is worn to the foot. This follows be
cause one of your feet is smaller than the
other, and while one of a pair of shoes fits,
the other does not. While few may know it,
only about 8 per cent. have feet of the same
size. Generally the left foot is larger than
the right, though of course it is not uncom-
mon to see the latter the larger. Why this is
would be hard to say, but if you have a last
look at it the next time you go to your shoe-
maker.——Interview in St. Louis Globe-Demo

Sister Dinah’s Dog.
On the Back Bay of Biloxi lived Sister Di-
nah Brown. She lived alone with her dog,
and mutual love and admiration grew be-

soup to simmer on the fire while she walked
to Biloxi to make some purchases. She re-
turned a little late, and to her dismay found
the soup meat had been “lifted clar out do
pot,” as she announced in thrilling tones to

Thought Be \Vould Wait.
A well known Scotch bishop never married.
While he holds. curtain see he was of course a.
subject of considerable interest to the celibate
ladies of the neighborhood. One day he re-
ceived a visit from one of them who had
reached the age of desperation. Her manner
was solemn, yet somewhat embarrassed; it
was evident from the first that there was
something very particular upon her mind.
The good bishop spoke with his usual kind-
ness, and encouraged her to be communica-
tive. By and by he drew from her that she
had a very strange dream, or, rather, as she
thought, a revelation from heaven. On fur-
ther questioning she confessed that it had
been intimated to her that she was to be
united in marriage to the bishop. One may
imagine what a start this gave tothe quiet
scholar, who had long before married his
books and never thought of any other bride.
He recovered, however, and, addressing her
very gently, said that doubtless these intima-
tions were not to be despised. As yet, how-
ever, the designs of heaven were but imper-
fectly explained, as they had been revealed
to only one of the parties. He would wait to
see if any similar communication should be
made to himself, and when it happened he
would be sure to let her know.—Boston Trav-
eler.
“'as Certainly Very Frank.
Geneva Lake, set in the bosom of fertile
TVisconsin, is responsible for more exaggera-
tions than the author of Munchausen or the
biographer of a modern politician. But some
men go to Geneva lake, fish and return home
without elaborating upon their catches.
Such a. man is J. E. Wells, the contractor.
He couldn’t possibly exaggerate if he tried
for half an hour. “Tell you a fish story?”
said be. “Well, I’ve been to Geneva lake.
Get out your pencil and paper. That’s good.
I’ve been fishing at Geneva lake. Record
that fact. I had as good a boat as fisherman
ever used. My bamboo pole would have
pleased the fancy of the most expert angler
in America. My reel cost me $9. I had
everything in the artificial bait line. I went
out daily, early and late. I stuck to my
business. I held my pole tight in my hand
and I angled skillfully.” Here there was a
lengthy pause, during which the contractor
lit a fragrant Havana, which he sucked
leisurely.
“Well, and then”—
“There’s nothing more to tell. It might
have been different if thero’d been a fish
market convention. ”
“So you caught”—
“Absolutely nothing.”—Chicago Herald.
The Efl'ect of Running.
Running makes a person warm because of
the inhalation of an increased amount of air,
causing the blood to pass more rapidly through
the lungs. The rapid inhalation of air in-
volves the introduction of a greater quantity
of air into the body, which renders the com-
bustion of the blood more rapid, and the
blood itself more heated. The quantity of air
breathed while running at the rate of six
miles an hour is six times that breathed while
walking at the rate of one mile an hour. The
superfluous heat arising from the exertion of
running is disposed of through the skin by.
means of increased perspiration—New York
Home Journal.
Not Embarrassed.
“Doesn’t it embarrass you to be kissed by
your husband before a car load of people?”
“Embarrass me?” replied the lady, who
was starting off on a journey, as she seated
herself in a seat and looked at the questioner.
“Did John kiss me when he said good-by? I
declare I didn’t notice it. Is my hat on
straight, Laura?”—San Francisco Post.
A Conflict of Superstitions.
The Gardiner (Me.) News has made the dis-
covery that there are just thirteen houses on
Capitol island, and that the man who build
the thirteenth was drowned before living in
it a year. This was the man who had a
horseshoe over his door, too, but The News
says he got it upside down. What a. choice
bit of news for the superstitious!
