Since the exposure of Captain HowgsIe's
robbery of the government, it ia interesting
TO note how many persons profess to have
been vol convinced for along time Of the
looieness of the management of the signal
service. According to them, under General
Myer II was rotten 10 all rsspecs, while he
and HowgAte worked together, the General
as the head, careless and extrAvagsnt, the
captain as the active man and dlsburser,
smart and dishonest. Particulars OF some of
the practice are given in manner going to
show that good deal was actually know
For instance: When, four yesrs ago, a
congressional committee appointed to ex-
anime into the signal service began to OBJ
tain evidence of rottennesp, and an OK
posure was threatened, the committee sud.
denly ceased operations, the testimony was
suppressed, somebody got ten thousand dol

wholly under the direction of tho war de-

ton OF the appropriation acts, Il drif,ed
away and became virtually independent.
What the law did not provide In thi, ros,
psct was accomplished by practice.
The thing stole away by degrees, and How

was guilty Of anything worse than trusting

Old Age.

The brain IN old persons after the ago
of seventy diminishes both in bulk and
density, and thus becomes lighter. Its
capacity for continuous hard work Is
thereby lessened, Is really as is that of
the body for muscular labor. As an old
man, however, has the accumulated
knowledge, skiu and practical expert
ence of q lifetime, and that wonderful
facility which comes of habit, he may,
with good health and care, do much Of
his best work in the neighborhood, say,
of eighty. He can not bear mental
strain, and he must not attempt mental
'tspurts," but he can still show himself
. s'workman that needeth not to be
ashamed" Since, however, the brain il
not then 30 firmly supported by the
skull, and il slghter in texture, the blood
vessels are more easily dilated or rup-
tured. The danger Of paralysis and ap-
oplexy is still further increased, because
the bleod vessels become in old age more
or less ossi1ied and brittle, and thus less
able to sustain . sudden rush of blood.
The aged should carefully abstain from
every fern of violent action, and, in
deed, from every violent emotion. The
full term of toll, whether in rearing and
supporting children or in the service of
the public, earns . right to what is the
normal physiological condition of age
freedom from all that annoys, perplexes,
harnesses, excites and burdens.-Iouth's
C0znDQutOn.
