Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. Inagreat 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
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 errbneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and hello!“ rating cal.

A Costly Shipwreck.
The Royal Charter is the most notable
modern instance of the wreck of a “treasure”
ship. She left Australia with £350,000 in her.
Of this sum, says Charles Dickens in his chap-
ter on this dreadful shipwreck in “The Un.
commercial Traveller,” £300,000 were recov-
ered at 1 .- tune of the novelist’s visit to the
spot wl. me had driven ashore. Mean-

millions :J'r annually home over the deep to
and from Illtllll, America, Australia, China
and South Africa by English steamers alone?
There should be no difficulty in making the
calculation, which, when arrived at, must
surely yield a fine idea of the treasure over
which the red flag flies, and an excellent no-
tion of the trust that is reposed in the British
shipmaster and of the high qualities which
go to the fulfillment of it.—Sydney Herald.

' seem: in Horses.
The finest and deepest emotions of a dog
seem to be dependent on his sense of smell.
Not only does he carry on his business of
hunting or guarding through its aid, but his
devotion to his master and his recognition of
lesser friends depend largely upon his nose.
According to Horse and Stable, another
among the humbler friends of man is keen
and delicate of scent.
The horse will leave musty hay untouched
in his bin, no matter how hungry he may be.
However great his thirst, he will not drink of
water objectionable to his questioning sniifs,
nor from a bucket made in the least degree
offensive. '
His intelligent nostril will widen, quiver
and query over the daintiest bit offered by the
fairest of hands. A mare is never satisfied,
either by sight or whinny, that a colt is real-
ly her own until she has certified the fact by
means of her nose.
Blind horses will, as a. rule, gallop wildly
about a pasture without striking the sur—
rounding fence. The sense of smell informs
them of its proximity. Others, when let out
from their stables, will go directly to the gate
leading to their accustomed feeding ground,
and when desirous of returning, after hours
of careless wandering, will distinguish that
one outlet, and patiently await its opening.
The odor of that particular part of the fence
serves as their guide. . .
The horse, when browsing, is guided en-
tirely by the nostrils in its choice of proper
food, and blind horses never are known to
make mistakes in their diet. .
Nervous and timorous as this noble ani-
mal is known to be, his fears are, of course,
doubled by his keenness of scent, for not only
does the eye inform him of danger, but the
nostrils also herald its presence. The mere
scent of a buffalo robe is sufficient to cause
extreme terror in many horses, and some,
scouting the smoke of a train which has long
since passed, show all the fear evoked by its
actual presence.
‘If the heart of a man is depressed with
cares—the mist is dispelled, when a we-
man appears.” The author of these lines
had been suffering for some time with an
attack . of acute rheumatism, and the
woman who entered such a timely appear-
ance, brought a bottle of Salvation Oil.
A Reminiscence Us .‘mv ,
I shall never forget him as he stood there
in the majesty of his grand old age. His
thick, silky hair fell like a veil of snow about
his shoulders. His tall, gaunt figure was
straight as an arrow. His dark blue eyes
were dazzling in their penetrating brilliancy.
They were eyes that seemed with one glance
to search and know one’s inmost soul. His
striking aquiline features were full of won-
derful expression as he talked. He seemed a
god to fear and worship. His sarcasm, his
brilliant wit, was beyond conception. I do
not believe any man on earth ever contained
so 4 much greatness. " To call him simply a
great musician is to stop at but one quality
in his genius. He was a great artist, a great
writer, a. great scholar. He had every ac-
complishment and every quality which man-
kind reveres and strives for.—A Pupil in At
lanta Constitution. ‘
“Have you your life pi'eserver?” ,slie
~ timidly inquired, looking trustfully into
the face of her lover, as the little craft ll]
which they were seated skimmed grace-
fully over the billcws. “Oh, yes,” he
answered merrily ; “see here.” and he
drew from his side pocket 3 bottle of Dr.
Bull’s Cough Syrup.

The bamboo is still grown in Pekin with the
.aid of good shelter, moisture and favorable
soil, but it is not found naturally growing in
the forests in North China, as was its habit
2,000 years ago. It grows now in that part of
the empire as a. sort of garden plant only, so
far as is known at present. It is in Szechuan
that the southern flora reaches farther to the
northward. Oranges flourish there under the
protection of high mountains and, with the
aid of the mild climate there enjoyed, so also
the lichen is found there. In the neighbor-
hood of Shanghai oranges do not grow in the
open air, nor can the trees weather the winter
unprotected except on the island of Situngtin g,
in the great lake iiezii' Soochow.—-New China

HIGHER ‘THAN "ORDERS. T '
The Conductor Tells Why He Has fn ni-
Beart a. Soft Spot for Tramps.
“No, we don’t bounce the tramps who ride
on the bumpers of our freight train,” said a
freight conductor who has a run to the west.
.- “I presume that we carry an average of a
dozen each trip, but if they remain between
- the cars we pretend not to see them.”
“But it is against orders,” was urged.
“Oh, yes; but there is a higher power than
general orders, even i or railroad men. Five
or six years ago I used to be hard on the rail-
. road tramp. I’d have the train looked over
. at every stop, and if we caught a chap be got
handled pretty lively. Nouiulays I throw
out a hint to the brukvmvu l nSIIllI] ban eyes,

The Great Cathedral 0f Nicaragua.
The great cathedral of San Pedro of Leon
is probably the finest religious edifice south of
the City of Mexico. It was finished in 1743
at a cost of $5,000,000, occupying thirty-seven
years in construction. t is of cut stone and
is one firm mass of masonry, covers an entire
square, and its front extends across one side
of the Grand Plaza. Like similar buildings,
whose ruined arches and walls may be seen
in Antigua dc Guatemala, this church has
walls at least fifteen feet in thickness, and
has the solidity of a rock. Numerous earth-
quakes have produced no impression, and the
storms of a century and a half have in no
way injured its fine quality of stone.
While inspecting its interior I met the cure,
an old gentleman of perhaps 65 years of age,
who, though a well traveled European, had
never visited the United States. He told me
that in the numerous disputes between Leon
and Grenada the church had often been con-
verted into a fortress, and sustained a few
bombard meuts from besieging forces. Thirty
pieces of artillery are said to have been
planted on its roof at one time, and on its
eastern side there are many indentations
made by shot.
This cathedral was once possessed of great
wealth, the chancel was surrounded with a
railing of solid silver, while all the altar
ornaments Were of gold. With the exception
of the cup and plate used at mass the church
has no ornaments of precious metals now.
Much was shipped to Spain. and what re-
mained did not escape the rapacity of the
soldiers, who have many times advanced and
ref—rested through Leon—Nicaragua Letter.

A New Method of Treating Disease.
Hospital Remedies.
What are they ? There is a new depar-
ture in llie treatment of disease. It. con—
sists in the collection of the specifics used
by noth specialists of Europe and America,
and bringing them within the reach of all.
For instance the treatment puisued by
special physicians who ll'l'fll. indigestion,
stomach and liver tioulilcs only, was ob-
tained and prepared. The treatment of
other physicians, celebrated for curing
catari‘h was procured, and so on till these
incomparable cures now include diseases
of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness,
rheumatism and nervous debilily.
Tliis'uew method of “one remedy for
one disease” must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly
realize the absuidity of the claims of Pat-
ent Medicines which are guaranteed to
cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the
use of which, as statistics prove, has ruin-
c‘d more stomachs tlnm alcohol. A cir-
cular describing these new remedies is
sent free on receipt. of stamp to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company,
Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors. Re-
liable agents wanted.
illortailitfiyl—o—tT Clergymen.
Among much curious information on the
subject of ministers it .is shown that of 2,030
who died 1% lost their lives from infectious
dimfise, the largest number, 127, being from
“ab guiinul typhus,” that is, gastric and
nerv6iis fevers. Constitutional maladies car.
ried off 153 pastors, of whom 132 succumbed
to “new malignant forms of disease,” that is,
to troubles of a cancerous character.
Diseases of the nervous system proved fatal
in 113 cases, 81 dying from brain disease and
32 from affections of the spine. As many as
524 died from throat and lung troubles, of
whom 196 yielded to pneumonia and bronchi-
tis an 156 to consumption. Heart disease
was t 0 cause of death in 204 instances; 299
died from apoplexy and 223 are said to have
died from old age. Only 14 out of 2,030 com-
mitted suicide; 1.? perished through accident,
1 being murdered; 9 were described as insane.

Two Left Hands and No Head.
The author of “Tom Brown” tells us of a
nurse that watched over Tom’s infancy, who
was gifted withL “two left bands and no
head.” How often this anomalous individual
is found outside of the nursery! In the
kitchen she is always dropping dishes and
making the fortune of the crockery dealers.
In school he is always at the foot of his class,
rather by reason of a certain mental care
lessness and ineptitude than because of posi-
tive stupidity. In'politics he isconstantly
making those blunders which statesmen pro
nounce worse than crimes. In society, by
various contretemps and maladroit remarks,
he blazes his way through life. If there is a.
corn under the table, he is sure to step on it:
if there is a sore and sensitive heart, he is
sure to probe the wound with his bungling
lancet, and without the least intention of
hurting any one’s feeling. Sometimes this
man with two left bands finds his way into
the pulpit, and then, alas, his awkward work
is often disastrous indeed.—Golden Rule.
Uses of Paper.
Paper is now made to serve for steel and
iron. When strong fiber is used it can be
made into a substance so hard that it can
scarcely be scratched. Railroad car wheels
are made of it more durable than iron. A
store in Atlanta, Ga., has been built entirely
of paper. The rafters, weather boards, roof
and flooring are all made of thick compressed
paper boards, impervious to Water. On ac-
count of the surface of the paper being smooth
and hard it cannot catch on fire as easily asa
wooden building. It is found warm in cold
and cool in hot weather. The Breslau fire-
proof chimney has demonstrated that cooking
and heating stoves, bath tubs and pots, when
annealed by a process that renders it fi're
,proof, become more lasting than iron and will
not burn out—St. Louis Stationer.
Ancient and Modern Chemistry.
Modern chemistry shows that the medical
lore of the ancient herbalists had a much
sounder basis than had been imagined. In
1597 water cresses were recommended for the
cure of scurvy and scrofula. Chemists now
say that the cross contains sulphur, phosphor-
us, iodine and iron—substances that are known
to be actual antidotes to scrofula. In John
Wesley’s Herbal, which he prized so highly,
wild carrots are recommended for asthma,
and we now hear that they do promote ,ex-
pectoration, and thus relieve that trouble-

as useful in the several diseases-Exchange.
No More Company Manners.
It is no longer comme il font in polite cir-
cles to have company manners, company
clothes, company china and company cook-
ing. What is good enough for the family
ought to be good enough for the guest. There
is no honor in terrapin, truffles, ices and
niai'rons, but there is honor in a welcome to
a refined home and a cover at the table
whererculture‘ assembles. Cordial hospitality
takes on an added grace when, forgetting self
and personal comfort, the hostess anticipates
the wants of the guests and manifests in in-
numerable attentions the esteem felt for them.
A perfect meal is only a question of a few
dollars, but the freedom of the hearthstone
that friendship extends has a higher, value
than money expresses-New York World.
Suitable Legs and Feet.
Every creature has the kind of legs and
feet best suited to it. Birds living in marshes
have long, slender legs like stilts and some of
them are called "stilt‘ldi'ds." The large body
of the elephant stands upon four thick pillars,
the stag has supports of a lighter and nimbler
quality. Animals that get some of their li‘v ~
ing in the water, as the beavers, otters, swans.
ducks and geese, are born with paddles on
their feet. The mole, again, is born with
Spades on his forelegs, so that he may dig his
way through the ground, and the camel has
his feet carefully padded and his legs of suf-
ficient length to lift his head high above the
sand waves so that his eyes may be protected
from glare and dust—Detroit Free Press.
Ostriclies in Trousers.
A lady passing a Park avenue residence
last Saturday afternoon saw two hearty and
muscular looking youngsters of anywhere
from 3 to (3 years of age eating dirt with
pieces of shingle nails and gravel mixed with
it. She rushed into the house to inform the
mother of the enfants terribles of the situa-
tion, but was cheerfully informed that if the
nails were not rusty they wouldn’t hurt the
children because they . were used to it.
“Why,” said she, “they live on tacks.” An
investigation proved that the youngsters
made regular meals ofi’ of oyster cans, tacks.

‘ Mustaches in Congress.
The prevailing style of wearing the hair
for congressmen is on the upper lip. The
‘ first impression on looking at Mr. Reed is
that there is not a shoot of hair on his full
moon face, but, for a fact, he has a mustache
—just the tiniest little stub of a blonde mus
tache. Fully nine-tenths of all the members
of the house wear hair on their upper lips,
and the fashion is quite common among sen-
ators. If all the men who have no other hair
on their faces except that on their upper lips
voted together they could carry any measure
by a. three-fourths majority—Cor. Philadel‘ . ‘

Chalice for \Vomen in China.
Dr. King, an American lady, occupies the
position of physician in ordinary to Count Li,
one of the most distinguished statesmen in
China. She also possesses a valuable practice
in Shanghai, where some of her surgical op-
erations have excited the admiration of her
medical brethren. It appears that there is a
wide field of employment open to women doc-
tors in the Chinese empire.— xchange.
