The report of Commissioner Dudley
of the pension bureau shows that on
September 80, 1888, there were 303,65S
pensioners on the lists, costing the gov
eminent an average of $l0G each, or an
average of between So and So a month
each. This is a higher average than the
wages paid to the soldiers of any large
army in Europe. The total amount paid
for pensions during the year was $780,
O64, 009, including arrears of pensions.
Since 1861 the United States has paid the
enormous amount of $62l ,073, 297 in pen
sions, including the costs of the pension
service. During the year the number of
pensioners increased 1851. Few per-
sons realize the fact that the United
States maintain an army of pensioners
larger in number than the standing army
in actual service and under pay, of any
nation excerpts few of the first class
powers, and at larger annual cost than
almost any first class nation pays for the
support of its army. And yet there are
schemes afoot to largely increase the
pension list, with probability of success,
owing to the tirmidity of congressman,
who dare not vote their own sentiments
nor the convictions of q vast majority Of
he people.

An elaborate calculation has recently
been made by Mr.. Edward Atkinson, q
noted statistician OF Boston, showing the
cost of loaf of bread made at the east
from the grain grown on the fields of
iowa or Dakota, and how the cost is dis
tributed. This history of the cost of a
loaf of bread is a very interesting and
ingenious one, and at the same time
very simple. OF the value of 100 barrels
of -four, $500 goes to the Dakota farmer,
the freight to Boston will be Sl97.50; the
the barrels will cost SIS, the grinding
$50, and the commissions and carriage,
$50, making the tot.l cost ofthe hundred
barrels of flour $6S2.50 when the flour
reaches Boston. The baker then takes
the hundred barrels of flour and adds
$2l0 worth of oven-heat and yeast and
5000 worth of labor, so that when the
flour goes into the shop for sale in the
shape of 5000 loaves of bread it has cost
81 .092, 5O-an equivalent of IL cents
pound. For this bread the baker or the
retail dealer. gets 7 cents pound; that
is to say, the baker and grocer in Bos-
ton get about one.half of the money
paid for barrel Of -four, the farmer
gets a fifth, the railroads one.tenth, the
miller, merchant and cooper one four
teenth. Mr.. Atkinson's object in this
calculation seems to have been two.fold
first, and most important, to show the
poor people of this country who live
from hand to mouth that their bread
costs them about double what it would if
they should make it at home; and, secon-
dly, that the most ofthe profit on loafof
bread does not 60 to the farmers and to
the railroads.

Accidental Poisoning.

All dread being poisoned; few know
what to do when poisoned. Even we'll
educated people are ignorant of the sim
plest antidotes for venomous bites or
poisonous draughts.
A writer in Halls Journal of Health
states two ideas which if remembered
would save many lives. He says:
eff you have swallowed poison,
whether laudanum, arsenic, or other
poisonous drug, put tablespoonful of
ground mustard in a glass OF water, cold
or warm, stir and swallow quickly. In
stanteously the contents of the stomach
will be thrown up, not allowing the poi
sonous substance time to be absorbed
and taken into the blood.
GAS soon as vomiting ceases, swallow
the white Of one or two eggs, for the
purpose of antagonizing any small por-
left behind. Let the reader remember
the principle which is, TO get the poison
out of you as soon as possible.
There are other things which will
also serve as speedy emetic, but the
advantage of mustard is, it is always at
hand, it acts instantaneously without
any after medicinal effects. The use of
the white of an egg is that although it
does not nullify all poisons, it antasoni-
zes larger number than any other
agent so readily attain .ble.
But having taken the mustard or egg,
send for a physician; these are ad-
vised in order to save time; as the delay
of twenty minutes often causes DEATH"
The same writer adds the following
useful information:
"Cures of bites and lmostlaIl
these are destructive from their acid ma
ture; consequently the cure Is an alkali.
Spirits of hartshorn is one ofthe strong

will have an alkall. The lye of ashes

Remember the principle: bite is an
acid, the cure is an alkali.
"Have we not before now looked with
wonder on the old negro who ran out
when the wasp's sting made us 'holler,'
cau.h up three kinds ofweeds, rubbed
the part we'll, and in five minutes we
were happy?
''But why three kinds of weeds? The

Referring to various computations as
to the precise date at which the pine
forests of this and that state will disap-
pear, the st. Louis Republican says that,
as matter of fact it is not probable that
these forests in Minnesota, Michigan
and Wisconsin will ever disappear.
There is considerable forest in Maine
still, and there probably will be twenty
years from now. It-is a fact, however,
that no substitute for wood has been in
vented and that the consumption is con.
stantly increasing. AS the forests are
thinned out and prices begin to go up the
consumption will fall off and artificial or
planted forests will be more generally
cultivated in the regions now destitute
OF trees. In many places, too, the land
denuded Of timber grows up again to
trees, though in other regions it remains
barren. The tree famine is not to be ap-
pretended in the near future.

Winter Begun in the National Park

Winter Begun in the National Park.
A freezing temperature and heavy snow
falls have practically closed the National
Yellowstone park for the winter. MI Ash
ley W. Cole, private secretary to Rufus
Hatch. who left the park last week, said in
New York: "When left the park one
week ago there was fifteen inches of snow
on the ground, and it had showed every
day for the first fourteen days of this
month" The National hotel at the Hot
Springs is now closed, with the exception
of corner. which will be kept open through
the winter fer the accommodation Of tray
elers on the way to Clark's Forks mines,
(the new Leadviile,) sixty miles distant
During the past summer about 900 guests
registered at the hotel and about 10000
other persons also visited the park from
various directions. Prof. Arnold Hague,
W. H. Weed and J. R. Wrish OF the
United States geological survey, left the
park simultaneously with Mr.. Cole. Mr..
KiDgman, of the United States engineer
corps, has called in all of the men who
have been at work on the roads and bridges.
and the force of men that has been engaged
in improving the upper Missouri as far as
Fort Benton, under the direction of Capt.
Durrage and William Fl. Woods has also
quit work until spring.

main travelled roads, streams. lakes, or
gaEized towns, villages, cities, and town
sites, railroad stations, postoffices, and
other essen ial features never before rep
