INCREASE YOUR‘ PENSION.
A tfor n cy,
I Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled .
toamuch higher rate of pension than they now
receive. Inagreat majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
_entitlcd to an increase of rate, and in most cases-
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
dlsabllityincresses 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 special! y
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,lf it has merit, will
procure a favorable settlement Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when if

They put me next to a drummer at the St.
Charles hotel in New Orleans, and as I was
unlocking the door about 10 o’clock at night
he came down the hall and asked:
“Well, haveyou located ’eml”
“What?”
“The fire escapes.” .
“No. I never attend to such things.”
“You don’t? Well, you are in for a roast-
ing some night. I never go to bed in a hotel
until after I have located every stairway and
fire escape. If there was to be an alarm here
to-bight I could jump out of bed with the
fullest confidence of saving myself. See here
a minute.”
And he teck me into his room and pro-
duced from his trunk a fire escape made of
ropes, and eXplained:
“Should I happen to be cut oil.’ from the
stairs or escapes, here is my other chance. I

We had been in bed about two hours when
I was awakened by the odor of smoke, and
was hardly on my feet when a gong sounded f
and there were shouts of “Firel” The smoke
was so thin that I knew the danger was yet
afar off and began dming. While so en-
gaged I heard the drummer centering up and
down the hall, shouting “Fire!” at the top of
his voice. When I finally got out I found
him jammed into a linen closet half way
down the ball and crying like a child. Ills
rope escape hung on the wirework of the ele-
vator, and he had made a bundle of his
clothes and flung them over a transom into
another room. The fire was out by the time
I was dressed, and when the watchman who
was going about to quiet the people reached
our hall, the drummer clasped him around
the neck and shouted:
“Say! say! Show me the way down stairs
and I’ll give you amillion dollars— yes, twen-
ty millions!”—New York Sun.
Preseiitiiig a Flag.
The presentation of an American flag to the
similar occurrence which took place in a
Maine village in the summer of 1863. A com-
pany of volunteers being about to depart for
the state capital were drawn up on the green
to receive a flag that had been made by the
patriotic members of the local sewing circle.
The village pastor made a sensible presenta-
. tion speech, and the banner was received by
the captain of the company, who handed it
to the 'color bearer, a witty Irishman. Then,
facing the worthy pastor and his fair flock,
the embarrassed captain proceeded to ac-
knowledge the gift as follows:
“Reverend sir and ladies: This beautiful
flag which I see before me”—
“It’s behind yez, captain,” interrupted the
color bearer.
“Which I see behind me,” amended the
blushing officer, “stands for something more
than the emblem of a powerful nation. It is
beauty’s tribute to valor, and as such it is
doubly dear to the gallant hearts around me.
In thanking you for your gift, ladies, we
pledge ourselves faithfully to defend it. At
the close of the campaign those of us who are
spared will bring this flag back to you, un-
less it is blown to atoms by shot from the
enemy, in which event we’ll—We‘ll”—
“We’ll bring them back the pole!” shouted
the enthusiastic Irishman, to the delight of
the crowd and the relief of the superior
officer.—-Lewiston Journal.

A Distinction
“Miss, you can’t bring dogs into the car,”
saida Third avenue conductor to a young
woman who tenderly held a wriggling little
object wrapped up in a shawl.
“ ’Tain’t a dog,” snapped the young w omau,
and the discomfited conductor retreated to
the rear platform amid a general titter. He
studied the case for a few minutes, and then,
returning to the young woman, said: “Miss,
you can’t bring cats in, neither.”
“’Tain’t scat,” said the young woman,
"it’s a rabbit;” and the long ears emerged in
confirmation of her assertion. At this the
conductor looked puzzled for aimoment, and
then said: “Well, that’s accordin’ to ‘the
rules of the company; \dogs ‘is 'dogs and cats
is dogs; but rabbits is insects; so you can
stay.”—-New York Star.

memory outside a certain beaten business

to be found—careful, wide awake and enter-
prising. But as'sogn as he tries. to remember
some little commission outside this routine he“
has no more mind than a humming bird.
This would be all right if it wasn’t for his

Biarriages in Georgia.
There were 16,500 marriages in Georgia,
during 1889. The negrocs show a greater
percentage of marriages to their numbers
than the whites, though there is a greater
population of whites, which runs their aggre-
gate 146 above that of the blaCks. The mar-
riages of either race increase in number ac-
, . h . 1. . _ .
grammar schools of Bangor reminds me of a , cording to t e densrty of popu shop, that IS,
in counties largely white there are more mar-
riages per thousand than in counties where
the other race predominates, and the same is
true of the blacks.
A difference in favor of the country dis-
tricts exists in matrimony; Among the ne-
groes in the black belt, and especially along
the coast, where they live upon fish and pro-
ducts of nature, it would appear as if there
were not a 15¢year-old female unmarried.
Inland the marriages are not so many, but
the number keeps up surprisingly. In the
turpentine country, where hundreds of ne-
groes come from North Carolina, the mar-
riages would indicate that the whole popula-
tion had gone out of single bliss. In North
Georgia, which is the center of the white pop-
ulation, the marriages grow in number, but
on a conservative basis—Memphis Commer-
cial
What It Costs to Stop a Train.
C. C. Rainwater, chief engineer of the Wa-
bash railroad, discussing the question of rail-
road management, said: “Did you ever con-
.sider what is the actual cost of stoppinge
'train? I have been in the railroad business
since I was a boy, and the question never se-
riously occurred to me until one day in a
lawsuit at St. Louis, when the question came
up. John C. Garrett, general manager of the
Wabash, testified on the stand that the cost
of stopping 'an ordinary passenger train at a
way station was 70 cents. Being cross-exam-
ined, he admitted that a certain train run-
ning between East St. Louis and Toledo was
paying his company about $1 per mile, and
being further questioned as to the number of
stops made on the road, it was established
that if it cost 70 cents for each stop, this pay-
ing train, as Mr. Garrett called it, lost money
to the extent of twice its operating expenses.
The decision of the jury in the case was based
on the conclusion that it cost about 50 cents
in wear and tear and time to stop an ordinary
passenger train at a way station, and I be-
lieve they were about right.”——New York
Star. '
A Misused Word.
I wish to emphasize the misuse of the term
“ladies.” It is improper, a mistake in lan-
guage. to speak of yourself or of any other
:perso'n'es “ladies” in connection with work
01' any kind. The term “lady” presupposes
leisure. In the same way the word “gentle-
man” carries a like significance. Now yen
know very well that the term “gentlemen of
business" is never used, and you certainly
Inever hear of “salesgentlemen.” Isn’t the
very sound ridiculous? And yet-your man
of business often is the polished, well bred
man of society, with a position which no one
can dispute.
A-few years since I was passing the sum-
mer at a well known seaside resort, and in a
sudden emergency-I wanted some laundry
work done. I rang for the bellboy of the
hotel and asked him to see if the laundress
could do it for me at once. He soon returned
with this reply:
“I am sorry, Mrs. White, but the washer-
lady is out. ”-—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Electricity from Nerve Action.
A curious study has been made by a Ger-
man physiologist, Herr Tarcheuoff. Clay
electrodes, connected with a delicate gal-
vanometer, were applied to the hands, feet,
toes, nose, ear and back, when it was found
that electrical currents of varying strength
Were set up in the skin by mental excitation
.of any kind. Tickling with a brush or hot
water produced a strong current, and cold or
the pain of a pin prick a weaker one. Im-
presions of sound, light, taste and smell
acted similarly. The skin currents were even
produced by imagining the sensations; and
when caused by mental efl'ort varied with
the amount of work—-a multiplication of
small numbers giving a weak current and of
larger numbers a stronger one. The currents
seem to be connected with the sweat glands,
which are aroused to increased action by
nearly every kind of nerve activity—New
York Telegram.

~ An Eden blown harbinger born of a dream:
Words cannot measure
Howdearly I treasure -
Those tender and delicate tokens that prove
The truth and ateadfastncss
And undefined vastness
0f constant devotion and undying love!
Heaven knows the story;

Of memories sacred their odors import.
In kisses I‘ll steep them,
And cherish and keep them
In holiest reverence close to my heart.

How We Look at Things. ;
You and Isee everything to some extent
differently. You 'see things from the stand-
point of your previbusly acquired groups of
ideas; I from mine. Strictly, no two persons
can see the same things in the same way, for
it can never happen that two persons have
precisely the same groups of ideas relating to
any subject. These depend on our past expe-
rience, on‘ our education, on the beliefs of our
times, on our various sects or parties, on our
pet theories, our interests and our desires.
Here is a simple illustration: Suppose an art-
ist and an engineer standing side by side
overlooking a tract of country. What they
perceive is the same; what they apperceive is
wholly different. To the engineer the coun-
try presents itself as a. possible line for a rail—
road, with here advantageous grades and
there economic bridges. Before the artist is
spread out a landscape, with light and shade
and harmony of colors. Suppose, again, a
plot of level ground in the suburbs of a city.
A college student riding by apperceives it as
a possible ball ground; a young girl, as a ten-
nis court; a speculator, as an addition for
town lots; an undertaker, perhaps as a possi-
his site for a.cemetery.——Professor G. T. W.-
Patrick in Popular Science Monthly. '

A Colored Prodigy.
A little colored girl was seen in a Memphis:
book store. She came in while a good many
others were in the store, and for a time stood.

on her, and piloted her over to the school.

“‘lio “'ould Be Grandmother?
The French actress does not seem to have
learned the art of growing old. Thus there
came the lime in the career of the great ac-
tress, Mlle. Mars, when in the opinion of her
manager (and, for that matter, her public),
she ought to be cast for more elderly charac-
ters than had been allotted her. M. Scribe
'wrote for her a comedy entitled “The Grand-
mother” aud read it aloud. to her on the day
it was completed. The title role was intended
for her.
“Capital!” exclaimed mademoiselle, clap-
ping her hands in childish delight. “Of"
course I shall play the granddaughter; but;-

all the wheels of which were made ofpure ice,
