INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioncrsboruc on the rolls are entitled
loamuch 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 ofrale, and in most cases
where it was granted for Wounds or injuries the
disabilityincreases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were utilrst 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 it disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and honor rating can
be had I‘oriuuiiy disabilities. [make a specmlty

present me witha brief statement of your case,

Reports from the southern states, received
by the publishers of thisfiournal during the
last year or more, clearly established the fact
that ice making his an industry is steadily
progressing, end that it has come to stay.
The iiiaokine men are planting themselves in
every desirable field in the south, and are
now furnishing the essential commodity of
ice, both along the coast and in the interior
cities and towns, at rates which place it
within the reach of all classes of citizens. In
the management of their business now meth-
ods have also been adopted of late which are
unquestionable improvements, which cannot
fail to popularize the trade and profit of this
new industry. Factories are now being lo-
cated at central points wherever the local de-
mand for ice is sufficient to insure reasonable
success for such enterprises, and these are
made distributing centers for the surplus
products of the factory through the neigh—
boring towns and villages—Ice Trade J our-

Caprificution Needed.
One thing ur figs yet lock is “caprifioa-
l tion,” which is a technical word, signifying
fertilizing. Fig trees are male and female.
its pollen is necessary to fertilize the fruit of
the female tree. In Asia this is done by a
wasp called “blasmphaga,” which carries the
pollen from one to the other. Here we have
neither capri figs to supply the pollen, nor
blustophaga to carry it, so our fruit gets no
fertilizing or “caprification,” and thereby
lacks two qualities: First, the seeds will not
grow without such fertilizing, and, second,
the fruit itself is somewhat deficient in flavor
as the result of tho deprivation. It will be
noticed that in eating an imported fig the
seeds themselves are agreeable to the taste,
imparting a fine, nutty flavor. In the home
fig the seeds are dry and tasteless. The dark
figs seem the richest in flavor with us, and
appear to suffer less than the white ones from
this want of fertilizing—Les Angeles Times.

“Did You Ever?"
One of the Seventh avenuecars'stopped at
Meaty-first street the otherpday to let a
“sharp featured, snappy eyed woman get
aboard. 'Whenlthe conductor came forward
to collect her fare she gave him a. fifty-cent
piece. After giving her change he had
turned to go. to the platform, when she
Estopped him by saying: '
“Oh, conductor, you have not given me
the right change.”
The conductor said politely: “I think you
must be mistaken, lady. I gave you four
ten cent pieces and a nickel.”
“But you didn’t,” contradicted the sharp
featured woman; “you gave me only four
ten cent pieces."
The conductor counted his change and said:
“You certainly must be mistaken, for the
change in my pocket is all right.”
“Did you ever?” remarked the how thor-
oughly excited woman, appealing to a fat-
man opposite. The stout man did notsigziify
whether he ever did or not, and she began
upon the conductor again.
“I never make a mistake,” said she. “When
I know a thing I know it.” .
“But I certainly gave you the right
‘ change.”
She turned to the lady in the corner and ,

The conductor counted over his change again.
Then an idea occurred to him.

that nickel is not in your clothing some:

She fairly gasped for breath file {2315! be:

. As the mi" 1". i‘i‘pi‘oached Thirty «fourth street
isle sigimi‘ctl the conductor that she wanted
to get off. Six very much interested passen-
35ch watched her rise to leave the car, and
there was a general sigh of satisfaction and
an air of I-told-yczi—so on every oue’s face
when the missing nickel dropped from :11
fold in her dress and rolled on the floor. The .
conductor called 1121' attention to it, but the .
only satisfaction 1.0 got for it was the remark "
she made as site looked back at The shining
coin on the ilorz':
“You ought to know enough to make the
right change, and not make such a fuss about
it.”-—New York Sun.

My husband has been very sick, you know,

sleep like a top when my eyes close. Now,
there are those two white mice, the loveliest

The other night they actually chewed a hole

“some DAY.”
“Amber” Enamel-ates the Good Thing: She
Is Going tn Do in the Dim Future.
“Lives there's. man‘with soul so dead” who
has’never indulged in dreams regarding his
own particular ‘stme day?”
Some day he is going to take a new deal
and be a right good fellow. He is going to
join the church and get read y to pass in his
checks when the grim old conductor, death,
calls them in for the last station. He is go-
ing to be amiable to his wife and family,
Commencing Monday morning and keeping it
right up until the next Sunday after mid-
ni ht.
l1, yes, indeed, there is no doubt about it
-the “some days” hang for all of us like
ripening plums on the tree of life,.aud we
mean to pick the branches clean before we
die. As for me, behold a few of my own fast
mellowiug “some days.”
Some day I am going to “earn $10 over and
above grocer bills, and shoe bills, and coal
bills, and I am going to join the Humane so-
ciety and make things lively. I shall take
my stand on a. street corner and arrest every
brute who overloads a horse and every created
being who abets him in doing so. The able
bodied people who-crowd into street cars and
expect two half dead rats of horses to drag
them up a slippery grade; all men who leave
nose bags on their horses above a. reasonable
length of time, shall be whisked away to-
gothcr to J oliet, and made to put up and take
down stays pipes for a. solid year.
Some my the Cub driver shall find himself
without t“. 'whip, the dude shall be forced to
drive. his nag without a. high check rein. and
l . .
the half grown boy who yanks his liorsc’abit ;
so constantly as he drives through town shall
find himself directly in front of astrongman’s
boot.
Some day the woman who knows no more
about bringing up children than a cat knox rs
about Beethoven shall find herself childless
and back in school to learn the rudiments of
hygiene, physiology and common sense. She
who feeds a baby strong tea and coffee, she
who allows a growing child to sit up till mid-
night, she who takes a 3-year—old to the mat-
lhec and slaps it because it is afraid, she who
puts French. heels or laced corsets on her
young daughters and provides wine and high
seasoned food for her sons, shall go back and
start from a )rotoplusm to see if she can
sprout a soul if mil gives her another chance.
Some day tardy justice shall overtake the
“masher” and I’ll be there to see! His sou],
like a filthy rag, shall be cast into refuse, and
all the bats and crows and cari‘ion birds that
inhabit his brain shall be let loose and fly
away like a. screaming brood of night before
the dawning of the day. lVbat will be left
of him then? Just as much as is left of a
chicken 'v-Z‘hcu a cyclone strikes it, or of o.
dandelion when the prairie fires overtake it.
Some day I shall attain unto sufficient
moral courage to refuse to be “pumped” by
wily enemies.
Some day I shall cut my last wisdom tooth
and sit with the wise on pedestals of peace,
from which my own folly shall-overthrow me
no more f orcver.
Some (la y I shall understand why I hated
"le. Fell.”
Some day I shall not only know enough to
go in, but to stay lll when it rains.
Some day I shall decide that it is not worth
while to sow wheat on rock or try to draw
water from dry wells. «In other words, I shall
give up trying to cultivate uninteresting peo-
ple merely to keep up a-s‘ocial farce.
Some day I shall learn that honesty is vast-
ly better than policy, and shall cut loose from
conventionalities and formalities that fetter
the soul.
Some day I shall find that one tried and
true and faithful friend, who tells the truth
and does not flatter, is better than a whole
palace our full of sycophants and honey
tongued praisers who ride at \yo‘ur expense
and make your vanity their treasurer and
purse carrier.
Some day I shall sing at the funencl of a
woman who chews a toothpick on the public
street.
Some day I shall dance on the grave of the
car driver who is always dreaming of his best
girl while I hopelessly signal him from the
' “upper crossing of an intersecting street or
from the middle of a. long block.”
Some day I shall find ' a comrade brave
enough to join me in a veritable dress reform
and wear ”leglets,” though onlooking men
go mad with glee,
Some day I shall meet the female gum
chewer alone upon a windy sea, and there‘ll
be only one of us left to buy a tolu stick at
two fora cent, while the sad and subsequent
years of time roll by. .
Some I shall go to the theatre and find that
my press tickets call for a seat where I can
both see and hear, and when the fiend enters
who always arrives late a special band of
imps shall meet him and hear him straight
to topbet.
Some day I shall have an answer ready
for my adversary and not wake up in the
night to regretfully remember what I might
have said to confound him.
Some day I shall forget the word microbe
and remember no more the bishop bacteria,
whose advent among the sons of men has
wrought disaster to my inucuous membrane.
Some day I shall know why more honor
was awarded Nellie Bly than is awarded the
every day heroes and heroines who struggle
against odds and more than circumnavigate
the globe in their weary round of hopeless
care.
Some day I shall be a little child again, in
purity, and candor, and truth, and find my-
self, pcrbaps, in heaven.——Ambcr in Chicago

A Blongolinn Newspaper.
The oddest journal in the metropolis is the
so called newspaper published by the Mongo-
lians of Mott street. It is written with a
camel’s hair pencil upon vermilion paper and
is pasted upon the wall of No. 16 of that thor—
oughfare and on the two large telegraph poles
which stand between Chat‘uam square and
Poll street. All day long it is read and studied
by the almond eyed crowds. Even in the
evenings a belated lauiidrymau can be seen
running his eyes over its tea chest characters.
Yesterday I was one of the throng, and,
thanks to a friend who is a good Chinese
scholar, was enabled to get a fair knowledge
cf the day’s issue. There was a considerable
similarity between it and our own dailies.
There was the latest proclamation from the
emperor of China, a. communication from the
embassy at Washington, a letter from the
consul, an account- of an anti—Chinese outrage
in Idaho, a news item of a flood in China, a.
dozen of “want ads,” a few laundries for
sale, a death notice and a call for a meeting
of some benevolent society. The editors were
called scribes, and write at the order of their
customers, charging a good figure for their
skill with the brush. The favorite editor is
said to make as high as 8:30 a day, but beyond
his editorial work he writes cards, literary
compositions and pro yer ticket: for his cus-
tomers-New York Star. '
Did Not “'isli to Spread the Disease.
“Can you do anything with my account to-
day, sir i” asked a collector.
“I’d like to pay it,” replied Gazzam, “but
the fact is I haven’t any gold coin, and the
doctor says that paper money carries the in-
fluenza microbe about. Can’t be too careful,
you know, and I wouldn’t pay you with paper
money for all the world-.”—Epocb.

A Japanese Mecca.
I have made a pilgrimage to Sen‘Gak u-Jl,
a Buddhist temple nestling itself in a. hilltop
grove of venerable- cedars and pines near
Tokio, in Takanawa, writes 0. correspond-
ent of The Detroit' Free Press from Tokio.
I went not to see the temple, but to visit
the graves of those forty-seven faithful re-
tainers of thcr'Lord of Ako—o, so famous in
Japanese story, whose deeds were as intense-~
ly dramatic as they were bloody. I
The way from the station is along a. pub—'
he road leading from Shinagawa to Tokio.
Suddenly the jinrikisha turns to the left and
enters a narrow lane, curving as it climbs the
hi1], till one comes into the grove and stops-
in front of a venerable temple, neglected and .
dirty and seemingly without attendants, con-
taining in one row five immense sitting
images of Buddha in faded gilt and lacquer.
To the lef t a pathway leads to the cemetery,
and on the way you pass a well almost hid-
den by shrubbery, near which is a simple in-
scription in Japanese: “Here they washed
the beat .” ,
Beyond and a little higher up is a shrine or
Do, in which Oishi worshiped when living,
and which now contains carved wooden
statues of each of forty—seven Rouins—held
in popular opinion to be good likenesses; then
one passes through a stall wherein an old
man with shaven head acts as guardian and
sells sticks of incense and the story of the
Ronins. The whole hillside is a cemetery,
but just beyond the entrance is an almost
square inclosure, fenced in by bamboos, with
a few grand old pines, and arranged in rows.
round the sides of the inclosure are the graves
of the Rouius, over each a. rough headstone
about three feet high, flattened and smoothed
on one face and inscribed.
A Ii unter’s Story. "
A number of old time hunters and sports—
lllell were congregated in front of a. Main
street hotel recently spinning yarns and re-
lating their experiences with gun, dog and.
rod. Capt. Ben Melton, at young hunter, and.
that well known veteran, Col. Red \Villia.ms,.
were in the crowd.
Duck shooting was the subject under con—-
sideration until it was banished with a part--
inf: shot from one of the company, who said.
it was a sacred tradition down in Henderson:
county that a hunter with a muzzle loading
war gun once killed thirty-five ducks at one-
shot. Capt. Melton opened up with a dog.
story:
Gen. Harding, of Tennessee, he said, told?
the first story illustrating the good qualities:
of a bird dog that ever came to his notice-
This dog, according to the general’s state-
ment, would make a. point anywhere. The
dog was very fond of the generalganrl accom-
panied him wherever he went. Upon one-
occasion the general visited Nashville,.and of
course put up at the best hotel. His faithful:
(log, Ponto, was with him. Entering the—
office the general bad just registered, and, as;
be turned around, he noticed Pouto had
struck a point. The general was- somewhat
embarrassed at his dog’s behavior,. and.
thought, of course, be‘had the rabies, but it
was all explained when he- walkedzover to the
register and there saw the name‘ of .a fresh.
arrival in a bold hand, “A. Partridge.“—Dal--

Flower Festivals in Japan.
The “flower festivals” of the Japanese are-
ol'tvn referred to without eleauexplauation of'
their iiui'nbcx'and character. Five are annu-r
ally celebrated- At the NewYear’s feast, on:
the first day of the first month, the chief
plants used are bamboos, firs, Prunus Mums-
and Adonis Amurensis- The-first two-are set
by the house door and. the others are displayed.
in the living. rooms- At the-second, 01' “Girls"
Festival,” which is held on the third day of’
the third moat-fr, Pi'unus Persica is the favor--
ite plant.
At the third, or“"Boys’ Festival,” on the
fifth day of the fifth montli,.one sees chiefly
the sbobu’ (Iris lwviagata); while at the
fourth, 01" “Ladies’ Festival,” on the seventh
day of the seventh: month, no flowers are fa-~
vowed, but songs are' written on bits of paper"
fastened to leafy stalks? of bamboo and set on
high in- tlie garden. The last feast occurs on.
the ninth (lay of the ninth month, and then
the Chrysanthemum is honored by old and.
young alike. Tliesc .various celebrations have!
always been held in accordance with the
dates of the old national calendar; but now
that the Gregorian calendar has been intro-
duced it is found difficult to procure the-
proper plznts on Liié proper day. The great
imperial feast in honor of the Chrysanthe-
mum has no special time set for it, but is held
whenever the flowers in the emperdr’s garden-
are in. most perfect conditiour—Garden and.

Annual Exodus of Highland Sheep.
In the autumn of the year tens of thousands
of the small Highland sheep from Skye and
Storuoway are landed at Strome ferry and
carried by the Highland railway to- the warm
belt of Hell country lying along the shores of
the Moray Firth. There, to the great con-
tentment of the Moray and Nairnshire
farmer; they eat his turnips and manure‘his-
fields till spring comes round again, and they ,
can return once more to their mountain pas- i
tures. The rate is six pence per double mile
for a truck load of say fifty sheep; or, roughly,
half a fartliing per head. The Caledonian
has a somewhat similar traffic, though on a
much smaller scale, from the Perthshire bills
to\the 10w ground of Forfar and Kincardine.
But by no means all the Highland sheep prc‘
vide themselves with return tickets. In or
about the mouth of October each year there
is an enormous exodus southward. Dalwiu-
nie alone sometimes sends away 20,000 sheep
within a few weeks, a. large proportion of
them going to the Cal-lisle market. ——Murray’s

A Eight \Ti'ti'i in; Eagle.
The two young sons of James Mean, of
Roxbury, N. Y., bad a fierce battle with a
gray eagle which they trapped. The bird
was held in the trap by its too, nd when one
of the brothers approached the eagle flew a
short distance, carrying with it thetrap and
a ten foot pole to which the trap was tied.
Fearing that they would lose both trap and
eagle, the boys attacked the bird, ‘wbich
thereupon made a vicious fight. It grabbed
one of the boys with its hooked beak, threw
him down and pounded .him with its wings.
The other boy grasped a club and shortly suc-
ceeded in dealing the eagle a deadly blow on
its head. The bird measured 7 feet 2 inches
