There can be NO misunder-
standing on that poant. Every
volunteer knows the amount ot
his monthly pay, and If he has
failed to receive itior any por-
ton of his service, ne should be
able to state the time and
amount. But in the payment
of bounty there are so many
laws, and SO many complex
questions arising thereirom
that occasional mistakes in ap-
plying for bounty when none
is due are quite e1cusable. We
purpose in this article to re-
view the bounty laws, and to
give such information as may
be useful in leading a soldier
or his heirs to a proper under
standing of their rights under
existing laws.
The amount of bounty due
depends upon the date and
term of enlistment. On the
third of May, 1851, the Presi
dent issued q Proclamation
calling for 10000 volunteers
to serve three years, On the
25th of May, 1861, the War
Department issued General Or,
der No. 25. By this order, the
volunteers enlisting for three
years were promised 800
bounty at the expiration Of
their term of service or when
ever honorably discharged

the service under this order
The act of July %, 1861, made

act of July %, 1851; first, the
widow; second, the children;
third, tho father or mother, i'll

dition as parents in regard to

Soldiers enlisting for two
and three years, between April
1, 1854, and July 1s, 1884, re.
celyed 800 bOunty--sams as
provided by act July %, 1851.
Soldiers enllsting between July
1s, 1854, and April 80, 1885,
were governed by the act of
July 4, 1864, providing for the
payment Of bounty to men en-
listing for one, two, and three
years. One years service was
to receive 300 bounty; two
years, $500; three years, $500.
This bounty was to be paid in
instalments, one-third on en-
terlng the service; one-third at
the expiration of half the term
of enlistment, aud the remain
ing third at the end of the
term. There are several pecu-
liarities about this bounty
which should be remembered.
1t differs in several essential
features from others given
The soldier who is mustered
out with his regiment because
of the close Of the war, or be-
cause his services are no long
er required, can only receive
the instalments which accrued
up to the time of his discharge.
If he was discharged for
wounds he would be entitled
to the full bounty; if he died
in service his heirs would be
entitled to full bounty. 1t al.
so differs in point of heirship.
1t can be paid to the widow or
children, and to the mother if
q widow at date of soldiers
death. The widowed mother,
under this act, is not required
to be a resident of the United
States. Fathers are not enti-
tied to this bounty, nor broth
erS and sisters. Accrued in
stalments are regarded as ar
rears of pay, having been earn
I'd by the soldier according to
tho terms of the law. Such
instalments can be paid to the
father il the soldier died un-
married, or to brothers and sis

How to Save Your Eyes.

When will those working by lamplight
have the sense TO understand the use of
shades to protect the eyes? We see per-
sons sitting holding their sewing or other
work before or near to a lamp, while the
light is blazing full into their eyes. 1t is
plain that the object that they work upon
cannot be seen with so great distinctnes
while the field Of their retina is already oc-
cupied By blaze. But on they work for
hours, and though the next morning their
visual organs tell Of the abuse by redness
and inflammation the workers are too dull to
learn the lesson of experience offered them
Circular paper shade can be obtained for a
few cents, and those not only protect the
eyes from the excess of light, but serve as
a reflector behih2 tti29a -hlaze increasing the
illumination one half. Besides the above
mentioned evil, there is that of the varying
quantity of light thrown into the eye by be-
ing suddenly and alternately directed to-
ward the blaze or obliquely away from it
by which the pupil has not time to adapt
itself to the increase of glare whereas,
with the use of the shade the illumination
would be uniform. The number Of per-
sons in the community having spots, light
or dark, in the field Of vision, arising from
injury TO the retina by the i'll usages which
we are mentioning, Is greater than is com
| monty imagined. 1t must be borne in mind
! that these spots are a serious step toward
/ amaurosis and gutta- serena, such as
i plunged in darkness the latter years of the
great Milton, and many others more emf
nent for thear talents than their caution.
