Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled

receive. In a great majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease. the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rule, 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 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

The generally accepted story is that the
waltz comes from Germany; but a little in-
vestigation will show that this statement is
Open to discussion. As far back as the
Twelfth century the waltz was known in
Provence, but under the name of the volta.
The song which accompanied it was called a
ballads. Under Lewis VII it was brought
from Provence to Paris, and was the fashion
during the whole of ‘ the Sixteenth century,
especially in the luxurious court of the Va-
lois.
Then the Germans adopted it, and the Pro-
vencal volta became the German Waltz. The
years passed, and then in or about 1790 the
waltz once more crossed the Rhine and was
introduced into France. From France it was
taken to England; thence it spread to this
country and soon became the favorite dance
of the civilized world—San Francisco Chroni-
cie.
If there ever was a specific for any one
complaint, then Carter’s Little Liver Pills
are a specific for sick headache, and every
woman should know this. They are not
only a positive cure. but a sure preventive
if taken when the approach is felt. Car-
ter’s Little Liver Pills act directly on the
liver and bile, and in thiswuy remove the
cause of disease Without first making you
sick by a weakening purge. If you try
them you will not be disappointed.

from roof to cellar of his great Broadway

he demanded to know who dropped it there,

. Calling In Washington.
,Very little of the paying of visits by people
iii high official life is done in person. The
president makes no calls. The vice president
does all of his “calling” through his private
secretary, whose chief duty it is to ride
around in a coupe and leave the cards of Mr.
and Mrs. Morton at the doors of houses where
calls are due. The members of the cabinet
do most of their “calling” by mail. The men
whose duty it is to do this “proxy” calling, I
am informed, have anything but an easy
time. Riding about in a carriage all day is
an attractive occupation when viewed from
a distance. It loses many of its charms when
it is practised day after day, and nearly all
of its attractiveness when it is interspersed
by constant stoppages along the route of
travel.
‘Some of these deputy cabinet oflicers make
fifty and seventy-five calls a day. They have
many amusing encounters, for they visit all
parts of‘ the city and pay their respects, or
rather the respects of their superiors, to peo-
ple of all classes and conditions. The recep
tions of the members of the cabinet are open
to all comers, and all sorts of people make
the rounds on Wednesdays. It is a social obli-
gation, to which all people in high official life
must conform, to return all of the calls that
are made upon them. So- the deputy secre-
taries spin around the city all day, driving
from cottage to palace, distributing graceful
bits of pasteboard, which the recipients may
place on their center tables as a mute evidence
to the uninitiated that the secretary of —-
has called upon them. At the houses where
“receiving” has been thoroughly systema-
tized, the colored man at the door gracefully
holds out his salver to receive the cards, and
watches the rapid escape of the card bearer
without surprise or tomment.-—-W'ushiugton
T4€tter.
Druugist (to a lazy man who had turned
over a new leaf.)—“You are early of late;

A fact little known is that the Church of
the Puritans (Congregational), which Dr.
George B. Cheevcr brought into particular
prominence by his vehement Sunday evening
anti-slavery sermons, delivered on the break-
ing out of the civil war, wag-after demoli-
tion, put up again, stone by stone, in another
part of flu: city. When it stood on the west
side of Union square its gray granite walls
covered with ivy and its two irregular tow-
ers were for years conspicuous to the Broad—
way throng. In its present restored condi-
tion in Fifty—third street, near Seventh ave-
nue, its walls are ivyless, which so alters its
appearance that it readily escapes recogni-
tion, especially under the name of theColorcd
Baptist church, which purchased the old cdi-
fice and had the material carefully removed.

They Fed Their Captive Young by Drop-
ping Fish Intoa Pen from Mid-Air.
“Isee agreat deal of talk in the papers
every little while,” said a man who has built
.many miles of railroads and contracted for
any number of big engineering enterprises,
“about the foolishness of having the eagle as
an emblem of our country. He is represented
as a cowardly, thievish, unintelligent bird,
and any number of other {owls of the air are
put forward as candidates for the proud po-
sition of the nation’s bird. Now I am not an
ornithologist, so I am not prepared to argue
over the relative merits of the different
flyers, and I must confess that the eagle is a
thief always and a coward very often, but
that he is kicking in intelligence I most eifi:
phaticully deny. Let me Lell you one little
story of him that puts him in u very favor—
able light.
“Years ago,” he brain”. “I was engaged in
building a big \vesinm lam-.1. and one spring

men sumo ibe htl'i‘alll during the absence of
the old birds- lillll L'rl ugnt back two vigorous
euglms‘ “in. li.l-.‘Ill. .
“We imrriuily patched up il pen of pine
slabs for m.- vapiivcs, making it about seven
feet square and lem'ing lots of space between
the slabs on the top and sides so that we could
have a good look at 111+.- sqaiuliiug bunches of
fcuihers. The parent birds came back about
noon, and when they found their little ones
gone they kicked up a frightful row and flew
about in search of them as though they were
distracted. When they finally discovered
where the eaglels were they circled around
in the air over the pen, keeping out of reach
of our rifles, and shrieked advice to their
chicks about keeping up their spunk ,and
making themselves comfortable as plainly as
human beings could.
“Then the 01d birds flew away and came
back after a little with two big fish in their
taions. They circled and circled around over
the pen, and finally let the fish drop straight
as a die right between the slabs in the r00f.
They kept up this performance every day for
a fortnight, and never in all that time did
they miss hitting the pen with the fish they
dropped. Their parental affection and intel-
ligence so worked on us that we put the eag-
lets back on the other side of the river again,
and I tell you it was really affecting to see
the way those two old birds hung around and
caressed their offspring. They seemed to un-
derstand after that that we were friendly to
them, and during the rest of the time that
we were there they flew all about the camp,
and had no hesitation in coming down to pick
up the scraps of meat and fish "we would
throw to them. I can’t say that they shed
tears over our departure, but I will warrant
that they felt the pangs of separation us keen-
I y as we did.”—Omaha \Vorld-Herald.
The Late Empress Augusm’s Tact.
At another time I figured in a way not cal-
culated to increase my reputation as a diplo-
mat. Royal pei'sousdeem it a duty to ad-
dress, us far as possible, every one in the cir-
cle. Her royal liiglmess one evening entered
into conversation with me. Among other
things she said she was very fond of reading,
but sometimes had difficulty in getting inter-
esting books. With the innocent inexperi-
ence of an American I replied: “Why, your
royal highuess’ palace adjoins the Royal
library.” I had. sense enough to perceive that
[had made a mistake, but, as Macbeth says,
retreating is worse than going ahead, I fin-
ished the sentence as I had first intended:
“And there are 500,000 volumes on its
shelves.” In a German this speech would not
have been very ieniently judged. But, with
tact and grace, she answered very kindly:
“That is true, but we sometimes want new
books.” I think she was rather pleased with
my simplicity—Theodore S. Fay in Phila-
delphia Times. '

A New Method of Treating Disease. 5:1:
Hospital Remedies.
What me they ? There is a new depar-
ture in the treatment of disease. It con-
sists in the collection of the specifics used
by noted specialists of Europe and America,
and bringing them within the reach of all.
For instance the treatment pursued by
special physicians who treat indigestion,
stomach and liver troubles only, was ob-
tained and prepared. The treatment of
other physicians, cclcbmicd fur curing
caturrh was procured, and so on till ihesc
incomparable cures now include diseases
of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness,
rheumatism and nervous debiliiy.

Disadvantage df'R'e'd' Hair.
The unhappiest girl in New York is, with-
out doubt. the one to whom a kindly nature
has given the real Titian red hair. Aside
from the fact that she is no longer the pos-
sessor of a rare and envied glory, she finds
herself classed with the supremely foolish
women who are invoking the aid of chemicals
to give their hair the matchless tint. One
supersensitive girl with the Titian coloring
says that she can no longer walk down Broad-

A hand crime at length appears,
A hand rewhv ed out across the years,
To bring me youthful treasure green
Unmiiidful of the graves between.
Alas! it cannot be. The past
Its wrecks around our feet has cast.
Of those whose paths together led, '
Ere youthful hopes and dreams were dead.
Some wander far in lands unknown,
Where they have learned to live alone;
Some lie at rest, with cold hands pressed
Above the quiet of their breast.
Is life the same? Can we forget?
Will youth‘s sun rise when it has set?
Life‘s lesson then can we unlearn.
And to the eastern glory turn?
Will buried love arise at length,
Again rejoicing in his strength?
Ah, no, my friend. Yet thee I greet.
With pleasant memories and sweet;
We clasp our hands in peace at last
Across the gulf of sorrows past,
. And, looking upward through our tears.
We gain a glimpse of heavenly years.

Living on Fungus In Africa.
Every day such of the men as were able to
get about searched the forest for fungus.
“There was no nourishment in this stuff,”
said Nelson, “but it would fill our stomachs
and silence for the time the pangs of hunger.
Being without food increases hunger much as
being without water intensifies thirst. We
seemed to be always hungry. Though our
food in those memorable days was not fatten-
ing, we often flattered ourselves on the ar-
tistic blending of colors. The fungus that
the men brought in was like Joseph’s coat——
of many colors. We used to call it rainbmv
stew. we often had red, yellow, blue, purple,
white, black, orange fungus, and every shade
between these colors in the pot together. It
was a horrible mess, and we expected to be
poisoned every time we ate. How we ever
pulled through on such stuff is a marvel.”—
Cor. New York World.
Popping the Question.
No two men probably ever “pop the ques-
tion” in the same way, and no girl, probably,
receives it in the form which she had pictured
to herself. A group of benediéts'in Chicago
amused themselves by telling how they
“crossed the Rubicon” of courtship. One
confessed to successfully putting the moment-
ous question while leading his horse over a
stretch of ground encountered while sleigh
riding, another was accepted while sitting in
a snow, drift after being tipped from the rear
of a four seated sleigh, a. third proposed while
without coat and waistcoat, and while per-
spiring freely from a. two mile row under a
burning sun, and still another was refused in
a romantic hock only, to be accepted a little
later by the same girl under the most com-
monplace conditions. —Philadelphia Ledger.
Cold Comes Through the Feet.
A noted medical author observed: “No
doubt much of la grippe comes .thr‘ough the
feet. Thin soled shoes, or thick soles, stand-
ing on ice or snow or cold wood until the
Sole attains the same degree of cold as
that on which it rests; then cold feet, cold
logs, cold abdomen, cold lungs, cold in the
threat, in the head; the eyes, the nose, the
mouth speaking witnesses, testifying to the
body resting on the feet and the brain resting
on the body that a plain violation of every
reasonable rule of health has been permitted,
to be paid in penalty of suffering and pain;
of lost time, of care and anxiety of rfriends, it
may be of death—is not this and this result
sufficient warning?”—Mnchias Union.
The Scottish Fisheries.
The waters of Scotland were productive of
alai'ge revenue in 1888. The value of the
cured fish is put down by the fishery board
at £1,324,372: while the fresh fish sold for use
brought £717,057; shellfish produced a re—
turn of £71,728—makiiig a gross total of
£2,113,157. The value of salmon is estimated
at £240,018, making the grand total of the
sea and salmon fisheries of Scotland £2,3" ,-
175. In the sea fisheries total, cured her-
rings are credited with £1,174,815 and fresh
haddock with £333,134. The number of lives
lost at sea was 59, against 156 in 1887; and
the loss sustained in boats'and fishing ma-
terial amounted to the sum of £49,826.-—Mon-
treai Star.
Paper Musical Instruments.
A paper piano has lately been exhibited in
Paris. The entire case is made of compressed.
paper, to which is' given a hard surface, a
cream white brilliant polish. The legs and.
sides are ornamented with arabesques and
floral designs. The exterior, and as much of
the interior as can be seen when the instru-
ment is open, are covered with wreaths and
medallions painted in miniature: An Italian
monk has succeeded in constructing an organ
where the pipes are made of paper pulp. It
has 1,400 ' pipes of various sizes—St. Louis

Governmental Expenses in France.
France has about 37,000,000 inhabitants.
She has a debt twice as great as that of the
United States, and it is constantly increasing.
Every year she has to raise as much as $700,-
000,000 to run the different- departments and.
keep the country up generally. I never
heard Frenchmen complain of their taxes,
and yet every man, woman and child has to
pay as much as $35 annually into the hands
of the,gOVernment.—Cor. New Orleans Pica-
yune.
Clothing In Siam.
The old fashioned Siamese dress is very
simple, and may or may not be very inexpen-
sive. For men and married women the only
absolutely essential garment is the panung, or
waist cloth, which is a piece of cloth nearly
three yards long and two yards wide. A
native woman belonging to the well-to-dc
middle classes would not need to spend more
‘tban $10 per year for clothing.—Demorest’s.
' As'Ia- Growing Colder.
The climate of Asia is becoming colder than
it formerly was, .and its tropical animals and
plants are retreating southward at a 510 w
rate. This is true of China, and it is also the
case in western Asia. Formerly, when China
was well wooded and the people few in num-
ber, wild animals would abound—New China
