REASONABLE PENSION CLAIMS.

During the recent raid on the pension
thieves at Washington, some startling
grounds for the issue of pensions were
developed. Men who had lost leg in
a contest with reaping machine were
found in receipt of good fat sums once a
month, but perhaps the most remarkable
claim of the lot was that of one gentle
man, who, on being investigated, asserted
that he drew a pension for what he had
actually lost in the war
But what did you lose ~ demanded
the examiner. you seem to have all
your members and faculties
"Well, y replied the claimant, driven to
the wall, 81 lost my head at Shiloh, and
left for home!'
Another should have been placed on
the list for the rest of his life at the high
est amount allowed by law.

aminer. "What did you lose Z"

Life in POmpeii.

In these deserted streets, life suddenly
stopped 1900 years ago. 1t is truth that
the destruction was not instantaneous,
and great number of inhabitants saved
their lives and even took away a good
deal of their treasure. But enough was
left to show us every detail of Roman
life. The cid world is set before us, with
all its good and its evil, its glory and
shame. We know what manner of men
and women they must have been, and
what their daily lives were like, almost
as well as if we had actually dwelt among
them.
The old Pompeiians were very modern.
There is nothing new under the sun.
They had folding doors and hot water
urns; they put gratings to their windows,
and made rockeries in their gardens; their
steel yards are exactly like those your
cheese monger uses to weigh his Ched-
dars and Glo'sters. Their children had
toys like ours-bears lions pigs, cats,
dogs-made Of clay, and sometimes serv-
ing as jugs also. Poor children, poor
mothers How did they fare in those
three days of darkness and dismay? Pco-
pie wrote on walls, and cut their names
on seats, just as we do now. They kept
birds in cages.
In Naples to-day, as you walk along
the Chiaja, you may find yourself in the
midst of herd of goats, with bells
around their necks, exactly like those in
the museum. They gave tokens at the
door of their entertainments-thc people
in the gallery had pigeons made of a sort
of terra Gotta. They put lamps inside
the hollow eyes of the masks that
adorned their fountains They even
made grottoes of shells Vulgarity itself
is ancient They ate sausages and hung
up strings of onions. They had stands
for public vehicles. and the school-master
used a birch on the ounces. They put
stepping stones across the roads, that
the dainty young patrician gentlemen,
and the pursy old senators might not
soil their gilded sandals.
1t was never cold enough for their
pipes to burst, but they turned their water
on and off with taps; and their cook
shops had marble counters. They clapped
their offenders into the stocks. Two
gladiators were kept there fifteen hun
dred years. When their crockery broke
they riveted it. At Hcrculaneum there
is huge wine jar buried in the earth. 1t
had been badly broken, but it is neatly
riveted-with many rivets-and it no
doubt held the wine as well as ever
Those rivets have lasted I, 500 years. 1t
is "A strange thing to think about. What
would the housewife have said if some
one had told her that her cracked pot
would outlast the Roman empire?

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

1t has been thought that the freezing
OF the sap causes trees to expand in cold
weather. Professor Thomas Mechan
finds, however, that such is not the case,
as the trees contract to a considerable ex-
tent.
Granulated milk, according to the
WldicdI Record, is made by subjccting
milk to a heat of 1870 degrees until the
watery part has been evaporated. Then
it is graduated, and sugar is added,
when it looks like corn meal. 1t is less
solid than condensed milk, and with
water closely resembles natural milk.
Professor j. Koinig proposes to purify
town sewage and the waste waters of
etc, by allowing them to trickle over a
network of wire, thus exposing a large
surface to the oxidizing action of the
atmosphere. lie recommends that the
coarser impurities should first be removed
by means of settling-tanks.
Some of the conclusions of science
would indeed be appalling but for their
practical harmlessness. Thus biologists
assert that if the contents and the bottom
of the ocean were graded dawn to uni
form level, the whole world would be
covered with water a mile deep, so much
greater is The depression of the ocean bed
than the elevation of the existing land.
The wheels of railway and other cars
are now made of leather in France by a
process of NJ dc la Roche. Unframed
buffalo skins are cut into strips and
these are built into solid discs and
strongly compressed by hydraulic presses,
then buund with two iron rings A
wheel of this kind is noiseless, resists
shocks, and is not liable to fracture on a
journey.
On the state railways in Sweden. says
the Engineering, there is generally doc
tor for every thirty-two miles of line,
and in this way forty four doctors are
employed by the government The pri-
vate railways have a similar system. The
medical men examine all applicants for
employment and reject those physically
disqualified, especially by defects of sight
or hearing. They also give their ser
vices to and attend to all injured by ac-
cidents on the line, to regular employees
and their families in sickness, to occa-
sional employees while engaged in service,
and to laborers in the shops who have
paid the same contributions as those en-
gagged in working the line. No exception
is made in the case of those who suffer
from injury or disease caused by their
own fault

Getting Even.

1t will not always do to play practical
jokes upon ''the old man." for he may
turn the tables upon you. This is what
a Cleveland widower did to his daugh-
ter. She was at school in New York, and
had written home to her father that she
had married and was willing to be for
given. The father forgave and welcomed
home his children. BY and bye it came
out that the daughter had been a party
to a practical joke at her fathers expense,
her husband being a schoolmate of her
own sex. The father, having started in
the forgiving business, did not turn back

daughter a motherin-law he has "got

The Resonance of n Bell.

Quite little romance, says the Wash
ington Post, is attached to the bell of the
Presbyterian church on II, between 18th
and goth streets, Washington, d. G.
Several years ago the pastor, Mr., Coombs,
committed suicide one Sunday morning,
just before the hour for service. The
sexton, not having been informed of this
sad circumstance, proceeded as usual to
ring the bell. Whether or not the clap
per swung too heavily no one can say,
but certain it is that during the ringing
the great bell cracked. Superstitious
ones to this day aver that instead of the
ordinary tone calling the congregation to
worship the iron tongue sounds out in
mournful cadence the ono reverberating
word, "COombsm "Coombs!"

The SOudan.

a good many people are at present
puzzled over the " Soudan,' of which
they hear so much. They are not quite
sure if it would betray an objectionable
amount of ignorance for them to confess
to a general kind of unacquaintedness
with what this Soudan is and how far it
extends, Would it give these people
who, by the way, need not be ashamed
to confess their ignorance-any kind Of
satisfactory information to tell them that
Soudan is the name given by the Egyp-
tians to all their dependent empire stretch

R4soA4s or

rheumatism and Neuralgia have relgned
supreme ever since the world knew them. They have
tyrannzed over all classes Of people. They have
laughed i'll the face of the medical profession.
Inspite OF alkaline treatment, acid treatment,
hyperdermic injections pasters, liniments and every
thing else that the medical faculty could suggest
rheumatism and Neuralgia have held giant sway
All that medical skill has been able to do for
these terrible maladies is to afford temporary relief
ATHLoPHoRos is announced absolute cure
Mr.. Iladen, OF Fair Haven, Conn, had been
tomented by neuralgia for years Repeated failures
of remedies had made him a confirmed skeptic. He
says: " When Itook he FIRST dose Of ATHLoPHoRos
had no Jaih." Because everything had failed, he
thought ATHLoPHoRos would also. But the second
dose began to show its powerful effects.
With marvellous qulckness ATHLOPHoRos cast
out the old tormentor, and there is no lack of
faith on the part of the gentleman who was thus re
stored to perfect health.
He tried ArHLoPHoROs just as last resort,
and because somebody told him it would cure him.
Thus It has been with many and many a
victim Of rheumatism and Neuralgia. They had
tried so many alleged remedies which proved worth
less, that 1t is ne wender they were skeptical-

Cars in Demand.

The Globe Democrat of the lith saws,
that railway business has begun to
boom can no longer be doubted. For
the past week the demand for cars on
all roads has been great. On Saturday
the Missouri Pacific railroad handled
800 loaded ears, West and South, and
over 1900 East. On Sunday tro-
mendous business was done also. Mr..
d. Brock, the uperintendent of Trans
portation, who is interested in the
discussions carried on in some
Of the papers concerning the
scarcity of cars, used the fact that the
road had use for 5000 ears ON each day
az an Illustration for his argument that
u road should have all the cars it can at-
ford to have. "Supposing," said he
1--WE had but 5000 cars altogether If We
loaded them all in one day in a busy

REV. Mr. Econ, is BLAINE's pastor
and he says the tattoed man is a
straight-out New England orthodox
Congregationalist, that his mother was a
Catholic, and as 4 child he took his
mothers hand and walked to church,
but that the Protestant day of judy
ment will purify that mothers touch OF
the hand as if by fire. The only infer
ence to be drawn from this is that the
contamination of that mothers Catho
lie hand can only he removed by heI
passing through the fires of hell, for he
would not intimate even that orthodox
BLAINE should pass through hades to
lie purified.
