u. S. Pension Agency.

Topeka Capital, March s.
This is one of the busiest places in
the city at the present time. The
work of preparing the pension checks
for the quarter ending this month is no
small job, and three or four extra
clerks have been engaged and will re-
main with the agency for a week Or
ten days TO come. AS fast as the
checks are made out they are forward
ed to hepensiOner, who can have them
cashed at any bank. Probably thirty
of the checks are delivered at the
office to parties who call for them; all
the others are sent by mail to the ad.
dress of the applicant. The snug sum
of half million dollars will be drawn
from Uncle Sans treasury this month
by the agency here, and as it goes tC
those who have suffered in assisting
in preserving our nation, few will bt

Tuesday morning Stella, with the
beautiful, tastefully dressed doll in her
arms, and little bag of oranges also,
started for Mrs. Sticht's. In answer to
her rap, Mrs. Sticht opened the door.
Her eyes were heavy with weeping,
and her face had grown more aged.
"How is little Patty this morning,
Mrs. Sticht? I've broughther the doll.
Can l see her?' were Stella's rapid
questions.
"Yes, Miss Stella, you can see her.
Walk in, please"
There was anguish and reproof in
the mothers tone; Stella stepped in
side the poorly furnished room; the
mother led the way to one corner, and
pointed to little white.draped cot.
The terrible truth dawned upon Stel-
la. She had come too late. Patty was
dead. She burst into tears as the sob
ling, brOken-hearted mother uncovered
che little still face. Through her tears
Stella could see how beautiful Patty
was, with her golden hair brushed
back from pretty forehead, and her
dear, little hands clasped over her still
bosom.

into the treasury any given amount OF

In one breath the Times accuses the
Greenbackers Of being innationists in

it says:

DIR. c. f. Page writes to the editor
of the Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal as follows:
This disease in horses is one Of the
varieties of catarrhal or influenza colds,
so-called, prevalent in this climate
among human beings, and springs from
the same cause, namely, excessive,
over frequent or otherwise injudiciOus
eating. The custom of working or ex.
ercising horses directly after eating; g;
of feeding them directly after hard
work, aud before they are thoroughly
rested; batting at noon when both these
violations of a natural law are COM
mitted; these are the predisposing
causes of pink-eye, and of most diseas-
es that anlict our horses. The symp-
toms denOminated pink-eye are not in
dicative of dangerous disease, unless
feeding is kept up; but if it is, theu
pneumonia, which is merely an aggra,
vation of the original disease, is very
likely to result. Keep the horse quiet,
dry, warm, and in a pure atmosphere
The nearer outdoor air the better, and
stop his feed entirely at the first symp'
tom of disease, and he will speedily re.
cover. As prevention is better thar
cure, horsemen will do well to heed the
hint here given and keep their Great
ures from contracting this or any 9th
er ailment. 1t has been demonstrated
in tens of thousands of cases, in fami
ly life, that two meals are not only
ample for the hardest and most ex
hausting labors, physical or mental
but altogether best. The same thins
has been fully proved in hundreds O.
instances with horses, and has neve
in single instance failed, after a fai
taial to work the best results.
An hours rest at noon is vastly NOR
restoring to a tired animal, whethe
horse Or man, than a meal of any sort
although the latter may Trove NOR
stimulating. The morning meal given
if possible, early enough for partia
stomach digestion before the muscula
and nervous system are called into act

chicago Sentinel
The Chicago Times pretends to be
just a little troubled about the plat
form which the Greenbackers adopted
at Indianapolis last week.
1t pretends to believe that the plat
form means the issuance of greenbacks
enough to pay off $540,000,000 bonds
at once. That is, that it means that
the government shall at once issue
fj40,00O,00O of greenbacks for the pur.
pose of taking up that amount of bonds.
The Greenbackers do not advocate any
such idea as is conveyed by the Times
Either wilfully or ignorantly the Times
misrepresents the Greenback platform
AS we showed few weeks ago, by
substituting greenbacks for national
bank notes, and issuing $l00,000,OOC
per year for three years, in five years
ut the farthest, without any additional
taxation, every dollar of our bonds
could I've paid off and cancelled-ant
in that way not more than $500, 100000
added to our present volume of cur
rency.
The Times is not as big blockheat
in such matters as it gives its readers
reason to believe. 1t knows wei
enough that the substitution of $3.50,
100000 of greenbacks for $3.50, ,000,OOC
of bank notes disposes of that amour
of bonds. 1t knows also that the re
duction of this amount Of the deb
would add that much interest saved Il

localities report, hence, we have had
ample good grass to keep our young

The Office of the Worm in AgricuIt
ure.


Popular Science Monthly,
Worms contribute to the disinte.
grafton of the rocks and the denuda-
ton of the land, by generating humus
acids which act on the CarbOnates, by
grinding up in their crops the stones
they swallow, and by bringing earth to
the surface in their castings, to be
blown away by winds and washed
away by rains into the valleys. They
are extraordinarily numerous. Hensen
says there are J3,767 OF them in an
acre of garden soil, and Mr.. Darwin is
willing to admit half that number, or
26,SS6, to The acre in corn fields and
pasture lands, and, as in many parts of
England, weight of ten tons of dry
earth annually passes through their
bodies and is brought to the surface on
each acre, the whole superficial bed Of
vegetable mold must pass through
them every few years. BY triturating
this earth, by subiecting its minerals
to the action of the humus acids, and
by periodically exposing the mold to
the air, they prepare the ground in an
excellent manner for the growth of
fbrous rooted plants and seedlings.
The bones of dead animals, the harder
parts Of insects, the shells Of land mol
lusks, leaves, twigs, etc, are before
long all buried beneath the accumulat-
ed castings of worms, and are thus
brought in a more or less decayed state
within reach of roots of plants. Leaves
are digested by them and converted in.
to humus. Their burrows, penetrating
to depth of five or six feet, are be-
lieved to add materially in the drainage
and ventilation of the ground. They
also facilitate the downward passage
of roots of moderate size, which are
nOurshed by the humus with which
the burrows are lined. Many seeds
owe their termination to having been
covered by castings; others buried more
deeply lie dormant till they are brought
under favorable conditions to germi
nation. "The plow," says Mr.. Darwin
"is one of the most ancient and most
valuable of mans inventions; but lOnl
before it existed the land was in fac
regularly plowed, and still continues tt
be plowed, by earth worms. 1t may b
doubted whether their are many otheI
animals which have played so import
ant part in the history of the worlt
