The Attack on the Pensioners.

The American ScnY.
1t has been discovered that it will
cost over $250,000,000 to meet the de,
mands upon the treasury made by the
provisions of the Arrears of Pensions
act. Upon this fact the hard money
press Of both parties unite in Il demand
for the repeal of that measure. NJ
question is raised in regard to the jus,
tice of the measure, but the demand
for \ repeal rests solely upon the cost
Now it is doubtless true that the pas
sage Of the act was secured mainly
through the influence of a corrupt pen
sion ring, which, for the past twelve
years, has exercised almost unlimited
control over that department, under the
peculiar influence of old party states
manship. 1t is doubtless true, as is as
serted by the old party organs, tina
more than two-thirds of our pension
appropriations are absorbed by th,
pension ring. But it is n disgrace t
modern journalism, and to our Ameri
can civilization, that the sole reason
urged for the repeal of the arrears ac
is that it will cost too much.

How TO Paralyze a mMasher.

The Baltimore American gives
ladies hint for the paralysis of
"mashers:"
The lady has only to cast her eyes
mOdestly down and fix her gaze in
tently on the feet of the masher. The
glance at the feet should be cOncentrat-
ed, yet full of pity, and should linger
slightly as the lady passes by. Instant,
ly the whole platoon of Washers is af-
fected by a profound distrust. The
sympathetic look strikes terror to their
souls. They all cast down their eyes,
and look at their own feet. The hor'
rible fear that their shoes are not in
the latest style takes possession of their
bOsoms. Each one is shaken with the
possession that his foot is abnormally
spacious; he becomes conscious of
multitudinous prOtruding cOrns and
buuions; his shoes, peradventure, are
muddy or dusty; or something has gone
wrong with the set of his trousers at
the ankle. The stOutest lah de. dab col
lapses at the mere possibility of such a
thing--his nerve is gone. The eyeglass
falls from his eye, his arms lose their
kimbo; he feels that his pantaloOns are
cupped at the knees, and that his coat
is full of misGts and wrinkles; he sus.
poets the cleanliness of his stockings
shudders at the thought that the sole
and upper leather have parted company
revealing that painful fact. lie even
flies TO some secluded spot and makes a
protracted investigation before he can
satify himself that all is right. And
even then his nerves do not recover
their tone. lie is liable TO be again
picnic-stricken. A glance of pity min
gled with a site smile cast at his feet
will renew and aggravate all his paraly-
tic symptoms.
The masher the lad-de.dah and lum-
tum, like all other creatures, have their
weak spots, TO prevent hog from
roofing, slit his nose; to keep Il iackass
from brayng, weight down his tail; to
keep Il masher from MASKING, gaze sad
ly at his feet.

THE DRYING ROOM,
where the sheets are taken to be dried
after receiving an impression, is heated
at a temperature of $50 deg. The
sheets are wheeled into the room on a
sort of railroad truck and put upon
drying frames, and there they remain
long enough for them to become dry
and crisp. When all the impressions
have been made they go into the ex-
amining room, where the women eX-
anime them to see that there are no
defects in the work. After this they
are pressed in a hydraulic press, Then
another set of women cut them; then
they are counted and done up into

What a Woman Did.

A writer in the Boston Journal tells the
romantic story of the life of Miss Nancy
n. ClOugh, who died in Enfield. n. H.,
November 81, aged eighty years. He
says:
II may be called romance in real life.
She was the Oldest of a family of ten
children, five of whom are still living.
While she was yet young, her fathers
farm in Enfield became heavily encum-
bered and was likely to be sold under the
hammer; his health, too, was broken
down and the future of that family ap-
peared well-nigh hopeless.
Nancy, foreseeing the disastrous conse-
quences threatening the future, resolved
to save the dear home, and went to work
with heroic energy to carry the resolution
into effect. She enlisted her brother
Theopilus, next younger than herself, In
the laudable enterprise, who cordially
seconded her efforts and gave his efficient
aid.
Learning of the factories that had lust
started in Lowell, Mass, she left home
and went to that city. She entered one
of the factories as an humble operative,
but wrought with such energy and skill
as to accomplish more work than two
ordinary operatives, receiving more than
double pay. Every leisure moment out.
side of the mills was also faithfully EN-.
ployed to the same end. As her younger
sisters and brothers came 10 suitable
age, she summoned their ready help
while she was the ruling, directing genius
and moving power in the undertaking
The result was that after some years oi
persistent efforts the mortgage was lifted
FROM the faFm and The old home was free
from every claim that others held npop if
She then decided that the house must bf
rebuilt and refilrnished and the grounds
beautifed, and when all was done the
braye girl went To the home of her child
hood with three sisters and one brother
to pass the remainder of her days,

EpIToR's sTRIBULATIONsA AND TROwsERs,
An editor in Chicago last week ordered
new pair of trowsers from the tailors
On trying them on they proved to be
several inches too long. 1t being late on
Saturday night the tailor's shop was closed.
and the editor took the trowers to his wife
and asked her to cut them off and hem
them over. The good lady, whose cucum-
bers or melon had perhaps disagreed with
her, brusquely refused, The same result
followed an application to the wife's sister
and the eldest daughter. But before bed
time the wife, repenting, took the pants.
and cutting off six inches from the legs
hemmed them nicely, and restored them
to the closet. Half an hour later the
daughter, taken with conjunction for her
unfilial conduct, took the trousers and
cutting off six inches, hemmed and re.
placed them, Finally the sister-in-Iaw
felt the pangs of conscience, and she. too
performed an additional surgical opera-
tion on the garment. When the editor
appeared at breakfast on Sunday the
family thought Highland chieftain had
arrived, for the trousers reached only to
the middle of his thigh.
