The demand for the publication of the
pension lists is about to be answered by
the government by the issue of work
of 1900 pages, containing complete list
OF the pensioners, their post Office ad-
dress, the amount of pension in each
case and the reason why it is granted.
Such volume cannot be placed in the
hands of every body, but it will undoubt-
edly be placed within reach of all, and
if the list contains fraud, the pension bu-
reau will be likely to hear oft. As mat
ter of public information, the newspa-
pers will be likely to reprint such por-
tons of the list as pertain to their con-
stituencies, and good deal of light will
be thrown upon the system which is tax
ing SO MANY millions annually from the
national treasury.

Fatal Railroad Accident.

B. P. Squires, general merchant of Alton,
Washington county, Mimi, was killed by
the southwark bound passenger train on the
Hastings road Tuesday evening, mile ard
halt north of the Alton depot. He had
been to Saltwater on busin ess, and took the
freight train for home about o'clock in the
evening, eing under the influence of liquor.
When the train arrived at Alton he got off
and walked along the track, until he was
struck by passenger train. The beam of
the engine struck him in the side, throwing
him upon the COW catcher, which tossed
him upon the track, where he struck upon
his head, breaking his neck. The engineer

California at the present time is most
anxious for rain. Without it the crop:
will be very short. The Bulletin saws:
The acreage in most of these counties
sown to wheat is larger than before.
There is less actual suffering from
drought than had been supposed. If
spring rains should be abundant, it is
probable that the yield of wheat at the
next harvest would not be much short
of $4,000, 900 bushels. But if dry wealth
er were to continue from this on the
shrinkage of this aggregate would prob
ably be 30 per cent. Twenty-Five mil
lion bushels of wheat lost by dry wealth
er would be only one item. The hay,
barley and oat crops would be CORE
spondingly short.

Europear travel will be more general
Ghis summer than ever before. State
rooms in all the first-class steamships
have already been taken mp to the
month of July. The question, What
will trip abroad cost? is being discussed
with great eagerness. 1t depends, of
course, upon where and how one goes.
There is not much difference in expense
between travelling in America and in
Europe. From 81 to S. per day for each
person will pc fair amount for all ne
cessary expenses. Indeed, some people
manage to do" Europe much cheaper,
but the large majority of people throw
their money away in high-priced hotels
and tirst-class railway cars, when second
class are almost as good, and in going
over the same ground twice.

Norway is having fierce political
struggle with the king and his ministers.
The entire cabinet has been impeached
and the result of the trial is expected to
advance Norway ahead several degrees
in political government. The two legisla-
tive bodies are overwhelmingly liberal,
and the upper branch, composed ofthir-
" liberals and ten judges of the supreme
court, who are conservatives, will try
the impeachment. The trouble arises
from an attempt of the legislature to
amend the constitution, which was We
toed by the king who claims an absolute
veto in the premises.

A Remedy for Burns and Poison.

We are exceedingly sensitive to the
poisonous effects of the poison ivy
(hPhus Ioricodendron) and have tried a
multiplicity of remedies said to de specif-
les, but have found nothing equal to the
remedy given below for burns and APP
piled In exactly the way named.
It'll now many years ago (see the Lon.
don Medical Gazette of March, 1914. }
that the author of this paper, while en-
gagged In some Investigations as to the
qualities and effects of the alkaies in in
Examinations of the skin, ETC. was for
tunate enough to discover that a saline
lotion, or saturated solution of the bicar-
donated soda in either plain water or
comphorated water, if applied speedily
or as soon as possible to a burned OF
scalded part, was most effectual in i'm.
medlately relieving the acute burning
pain. and when the burn was only sup
erhclal or not severe removing all pain
In the course of very short time hay
ing also the very great advantage of
cleanliness and, if applied at once, of pre-
venting the usual consequencess-a pair
tul blistering of the skin, separation OF
the epidermis and perhaps more or less
of suppuration.
For this purpose all that is necessary
is to cut piece of lint or old soft rag or
even thick blotting paper of a size sufi-
Gent to cover the burned or scalded
parts, and to keep it constantly well wet
ted with the sodaic lotion so as to pre-
vent It's drying. By this means it usual
ly happens that all pain ceases in from a
quarter to half an hour, or even in much
less time.
When the main part of limb, such as
the hand and forearm or the foot and
leg, has been burned, it is best, when
practicable, to plunge the part at once
into Jug or pail or other convenient
vessel filled with the soda lotion. and
keep 1t there until the pain subsidies; or
the limb may be swathed or encircled
with surgeon cotton bandage previous

kept constantly wetted with it, the relief
being usually immediate, provided the
solution be saturated and cold.
What is now usually sold as bicarbon-
ate OF soda is what 1 have commonly used
and recommended although this is we'll
known to vary much in quality accord
ing to where it is manufactured-b it
will be found to answer the purpose, al
though probably Towards is most to be
depended on, the common carbonate be-
ing too caustic. 1t is believed that a
large proportion OF medical practitioners
are still unaware of the rema. kable quail
ties of this easily applied remedy which
recommends itself for obvious reasons.

An Irate Bishop.

The ranking privilege is one peculiar
ly liable to be abused, and colonial
bishop of the Church of England is the
last marked offender Our readers will
remember the turbulent young Bishop of
Colombo, Ceylon, DIR. Coplestone, who
made himself so amusing and amazing by
his rebuke OF schoolmaster EMPLOYED
by the Society for the Propagation of the
Faith, who had actually married Wes-
leyan girl in the Wesleyan chapel, where
her father was the preacher. The irate
bishop wrote letter to the schoolmaster
rebuking the impertinence" OF inviting
him to be present at the wedding, and
advised him to resign his official position
in order to avoid dismissal which he
might expect if he retained his Office af.
ter his wretched fall" Unfortunately.
the bishop ranked this letter through
the colonial post-office, as an official
document, with the words con Her
Majesty's Service" conspicuously dis
played. The matter has come up in Par
lament, and Lord Derby has issued an
order combining the privilege of ranking
letters to those officials who are under
the direct control of the government; and
he has ordered DR.. Coplestone's name to
be excluded from the list of such persons.
This is not the first time that the Bishop
OF Colombo has been severely snubbed.
Some three or four years ago he revoked
the license of several preachers in the
service of the Church Missionary Society,
because they refused to submit to some
of his unreasonable orders. Appeal was
taken to the Archbishop of Canterbury,
who, with some other English bishops,
carefully considered the case, and re-
buked DR.. Coplestone and reinstated the
preachers; but he is irrepressible.

the strength will be apportioned proper

till all the cups Of the company are re-
turned to her before she fills any second

Best Cream for Rntter

A Boston paper states that Quincy
market butter dealers, those who handle
the choicest lots of fine fresh butter, say
that all the popular and high priced lots
OF gilt-edged butter are made from ripen-
ed cream. Neither the highest favor
nor aroma can be developed in such but
ter as Is produced from sweet cream.
Though fresh butter, made from sweet
cream, is very acceptable the day it is
made, its deterioration is Immediately
afterward apparent, while that from
ripened cream maintains it's good quality
for much longer time. Those who have
never tasted butter made from ripened
cream do not realize the possibilities OF
the butter-maker's art.

Water for Swine

There are many farmers who think it
unnecessary to give drink Of water to a
pig, but who consider the slop that it re-
ceives as ample for its needs, or that when
a pig is fattening dry food only is needed
and that water makes soft pork. There are
many more who are hardly so ignorant as
this, yet act precisely as though they we're
and neglect to provide any water for
their stock but what they can procure
from pond holes or sloughs. The con-
sequence is disease and death. Pure wa.
ter is indispensable to the health Of all
kinds Of stock.
