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
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 penslonér i.

How the EflssTss'Ibpi Was Made.
As a posible theory of the origin of the Mis-
sissippi river, among the many that have at
different times been brought forward by noted
scientists, the most recent is the suggestion
that its erosion was accomplished by means of
a mighty cataract, which began far down the
river, near its original mouth, and by gradual
retrogressing dug out the valley like gorge.
That this theory is tenable may be inferred
from the high, wall like bluffs—features so
characteristic in the upper part of its course.
A wearing away of a monster cataract would,
of course, necessarily leave high bluff walls
on either side, which are well known features
of “the father of meandering streams.” 1t
would seem according to this theory, that St.
Anthony falls constitute the remnant of what:
was once the most stupendous cataract in the
world. It is estimated that it must have
taken 400,000 years to carve out the mighty
ditch—St. Louis Republic.

herself an immense treat. '
She said: “I have met him at last. He is
the funniest actor in London. And he is go-
ing to talk to me for at least an hour and a
half. Oh, what a lucky girl I am I”
They took their seats at the board, and the
funniest man in London calmly ate his din-
ner. Not a word did he utter till his eye fell
on his Wife, who sat opposite. Then he turned
to his companion.
“It has been a long time coming,” she
thought, “but it has come.” And she pre-
pared to receive the joke.
“Do you see that dress my wife has on?”
asked the comedian.
“Yes.”
“Well, it cost £9.” And not another sylla—
ble was heard—London Tidbits.

Thi’nkfng It Over. ‘
Hotheaded persons sometimes prove the
mildest of citizens, when they can be persuad-
ed to stop and think. It has been said that a
douche of cold water will disperse any mob,
and reflection is certainly the salutary cold
bath of the passionate individual.
When Prince Bismarck and Count Rech-
berg were Prussian and Austrian ambassa-
dors respectively at the Frankfort diet, Bis-
marck soon discovered that the count, though
an honorable man, was hot tempered and
passionate. Count Rechberg, in his turn,
cordially disliked Prussia and its representa-
tive, but did all in his power to keep on ami-
cable terms with him.
Still there were many occasions. both polit-
ical and social, when the friction between
them became very apparent. One day things
came to such a. point that the count, losing
his temper utterly, exclaimed:
“One of my friends shall wait on you in
the morning!”
“Why all this unnecessary delay?” replied
Herr vou Bismarck, coolly. “In all proba-
bility you have a. pair of pistols handy. Let
us settle the matter immediately. "While you
get the things ready, I will write a report
about the whole transaction, which, in case I
am killed, I request you to forward to
Berlin.”
Each set about his task. When Bismarck
had finished his paper, he gave the sheet to
Count Rechberg, and requested him to ex-
amine it.
The couut’s passion had, in the meantime,
given way to sober reflection. After perus-
ing the report, he said, “What you have
written is quite correct, but is it really
worth while to fight a duel for such area-
son ?”
“That is exactly What I wish to be told,”
said Bismarck, and the matter ended.—

Mrs. Rosenburg came into the treasury de-

at the work of putting into shape mutilated
money. Such money comes to the treasury
from all parts of the country by mail and ex-
press. Auy individual is at liberty to send it
for redemption. Some of it is very bad.
Mrs. Rosenbui‘g tells of an instance Where
she recovered some bills which had been in a
pocketbook and nearly destroyed by fire.
The money had shriveled into a. small round
wad, and it seemed a hopeless task to‘ bring
it into recognition again, but with much care
and a. great deal of patience it was accom-
plished. The first business is to put the mu-
tilated particles into water, so that they may
unfold to their fullest extent, then they are
pasted on paper to form as perfectly as pos-
sible the original bill. It requires a quick
eye and a dexterous hand to make the most
of this money—Washington Cor. New York

The department of public works exists
merely as a means or an excuse for the sup-
port of a number of employes who spend
their time in doing anything else than work-
ing for the public welfare. The public roads,
mere bridle paths, are well nigh impassable;
the conduits for the water supply, so care-
fully built and cared for by the French col—
onists that the ruins exist to this day to at-
test to the engineering skill and disregard of
expense bestowed. upon them, are so choked
and contaminated as to be almost useless.

it has never been very clearly proven that

Fooling with a Burglar Alarm.
A certain down town man has a contrivance
’ which makes his place of business burglar
proof. His valuable stock is placed in his
' _ me every night. Attached to this safe is an
' electrical ccntrivance which is connected with
a burglar alarm at the central station. The
arrangement is such that, after business hours,
no one can open that safe door without turn-
ing in the burglar alarm.
The other night the proprietor of the place
came down town with a. party of ladies and
gentlemen. At dinner-the owner of the store
was telling his guests how contented a man
was after business hours. No fears of burg-
lars annoyed him after nightfall. Then he
told them why, and of course the ladies
wanted to see the COllll‘Ivallc-c.
The owner took the party to his store and
opened his safe. IL: was explaining the work—
ing of the contriviuice wlzcu a patrol wagon
full of Hawksbaws can: to a but: in front of
the door, and in a. mllillcil’u they ‘were inside,
one of them with a hand o.i inc shoulder of
the proprietor. The ladies, of course, were
shrieking and trying to hide. The proprietor
told them to be quiet.
“It is all right,” he said. “I am the pro-
prietor here and was showing my friends
how the alarm works.”
This pacified the ladies, but it didn’t satisfy
the detectives. One of them insisted. “Come
along,” he said. "Vv’e have that played on us
every day.” The ladies shrieked again. The
proprietor of the store asaured the detectives
he was the proprietor. But they wouldn’t
believe him until Mr. Sharpe, of McVicker’s
theatre, who had been sent for, came over
and identified the proprietor. —Chicago Times.
A Preserved Head.
Of all the hideous, uncanny objects, the one
that hangs in the window of the Hall Rubber
company is the uncauniest and most hideous.
It is the preserved head of a South American
Indian. ,
The head is five centuries old and belonged
to an Indian chief named Huambrsa, who
was killed during the war with the Augaruna
Indians on the river Santiago. The head
was cut from the body by its Brazilian cap—
tors, and with consummate art all the bony
matter was removed from the interior, leav-
ing nothing but the flesh and skin. Then by
some long lost process it was embalmed; so
perfect is the work that all the features are
preserved in their exact proportions, but so
reduced in size that the whole head is not
larger than a good sized orange. '
Attached to the top of the head and run
through the upper lip are long strands of
bright colored hemp, used in carrying the
head at the waist as a. trophy, after the fash—
ion of the North American Indians. Black
silk hair, about eighteen inches long, hangs
down on either side, and the chin is adorned
with a black imperial. Even the eyebrows
and the short hairs within the nostrils are
preserved.
The curiosity is valued at $5,000 and has
been presented to the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts—Boston Globe.
Exposed Parts of the Body.
Where to put clothing is a question on
which most persons, and especially most ad—
visers, are much in want of light. There are
certain parts where nature has placed her
thermometers of sensation expressly to regu-
late her business. Such are the neck, the
wrists, the back, the knees and the feet-—
parts which are among the most neglected,
while they should be the most scrupulously
protected against the signal of discomfort.
The neck and wrists expose great currents of
blood constantly to the temperature of the
air and thus open enormous leaks of our vital
warmth, if not carefully protected. This is
not necessarily “mufliiug” in all cases, and
yet in many cases inufliing is requisite.
Whether it is so or not any one can tell for
himself by watching the sensation thermom-
eters that are placed at those points. —Sani-
tary Era.
How to Shake Hands Fashionably.
When you meet a friend you draw your
right arm close to your body, keep the elbow
firmly pressed to your body, raise your right
arm until it is on a level with your elbow,
then bring the elbow up until it is on a level
with the shoulder, drop the hand and grasp"
the palm of the chappie who happens to be
doing the identical thing in front of you. It
looks a bit foolish the first time, but when
you see staid men doing it a hundred times
in one night in the course of a big reception
or dinner party it ceases to be quite so amus-
ing. It is the very latest fad in ultra fash-
ionable society—New York Mail and Ex-
press.

A New Method of Treating Disease.
‘ Hospital Remedies. ‘
What. are 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, celebrated for curing
catarrh was procured, and so on till these
incomparable cures now include diseases
of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness,
rheumatism and nervous debility.
This new 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 absurdity 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-
ed more-stomachs than alcohol. _Acir—
cular describing these new remedies is
sent free on receipt of stamp to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company,

liable agents wanted.

A LITTLE HAND.
Perhaps there are tenderer. sweeter things
Somewhere in the sun bright land;
But I thank the Lord for his blessings,
And thech of alittle hand.
A little handthat softly stole
Into my own that day, ,
When I needed the touch that I loved so much
To strengthen me on my way.
Softer it seemed than the softest down
On the breast of the gentlest dove;
But its timid press and its faint caress
Were strong in the strength of love.
It seemed to say in a strange, sweet way:
"I love you and understand,“ ~
And calmed my fears as my hot, h‘eart tears
Fell over the little hand.

the hillside toward us. The patriarchal Lap,
after we had made a few vain attempts at
exchanging courtesies, signified he expected
a handsome donation for his trouble, and on
saying “good-by” we noticed that the Nor-
wegian sailors who accompanied us each gave
his coin in turn, it being considered unlucky
to part with a Lap without offering some
small gift—Temple Bar.
Bees as Weather Prophets.
A new use may possibly be found for bees.
Not only are they honey givers, but it ap-
pears that they may be recognized as weather
harbingers, but how far ahead the bee may
be able to look may be an open question. A
nice observer by looking at them in the early
morning during the working season will soon
be able to form an opinion as to what the day
will be, and that almost to a certainty, for
they will sometimes appear sluggish and in-
active, although the morning is very bright
and showing every appearance of a. clear day,
but the sun soon becomes clouded and rain
follows. I
And again, the morning may be dull and
cloudy, and sometimes rain may be falling;
still the bees will be observed going out in
considerable numbers, and as sure as this is
seen the day becomes bright and fair.—New-
castle Chronicle.
Death of an Historic Tree.
An historic tree, on the old Elder Winson
farm, in Johnston, R. 1., has been felled. It
was a chestnut, and had been utilized by the
Dorrites in the exciting times of the Dorr
war as a hiding place for guns. It stood in
an open field on the farm. The trunk, which
was 9 feet 4 inches in diameter, had been 1101-
low as long as “any one living can remem-
ber,” and a. tall man could enter and stand
erect with several inches to spare above his
head. One of the limbs measured 4 feet in
diameter. The tree was cut down because
there was danger of its falling—Philadelphia.

Cultivating I-luinaii flair to Sell.
In remote Swiss, German and French vil-
lages traffic in human hair is as recognized a.
portion of the commerce as the sale of butter
and eggs, and is, to the young peasant girls,
a very important matter. They grow their
hair with a view to selling it, just as their.
fathers and brothers grow their cereals and
raise their cattle for the same purpose. In
many cases, where they are fortunate enough
to have it of a good 'marketable color and.
fine texture, they get for their ware more
' than their male relatives .could hope to clear
after many years of hard toil.—Chatter.
'The Largest Yacht in the \Vorld.
Alexander Brown, of London, is designing,
for a nobleman, a three masted schooner of
the American style, which will measure 500‘
tons, 140 feet on the water line, 27 feet beam
and 14 feet draught, and which will be when
finished the largest sailing yacht in the world-
Mr. Brown says that this is the coming type
for seagoiiig yachts. She will supply her
own gas, and have an asbestos fire tank for-
ward, a novelty in marine architecture—Ex-

Star. ' A
She Had Nerve.
A young lady of Stoke Newington, Eng—
land, performed a remarkable feat of climb-
ing. She ascended to the top of the new spire
of St. Mary’s church, a distance of 245 feet,
and gave the weather vane 11 turn, “just for
luck.” Her courage in so doing becomes the
greater from the fact that the last portion of
the journey‘up was by means of two vun’pro-
tected ladders._—New York Telegram.
Birch on Is Hard to Secure.
Black birch trees do not yield oil as the
maple trees run sap. There is work" in get-
ting the tender twigs, and labor in the pro-
cess of extracting the oil. One ton of twigs
yields just three pounds of oil, and it took
nearly fifty-three tons of twigs to yield ten
gallons. This oil is used in giving the winter:
green flavor to confections of all kinds—New

Mother—Yes; but there should have been
two. —Lawrence American.
