Few people have any idea of the lon
gevity of that noble, although his
tericky. domestic fowl, the common hen
of commerce. By late agricultural
paper we see that hen, residing with
q farmer near Macon. Mo-, seized rat
by the back. carried him to . tub of
water. dropped him into it with . re-
vengeful cluck." and thus saved her
brood from further depredations. Now,
when in boyhood's happy days we read
the Boys Own Book Of Natural His
tory, this venerable hen. at that time
residing on an English farm. was spend
ing most of her time dropping that same
predatory rat into the tub of water with
the same old ''revengeful cluck." And
now she is at it again, away out in far
away Missouri. where they cali us 10 de-
liver their land from errors chain.
Fifty years is . good ripe age for brood
hen, but We do not look to see her pass
away in this generation No. So long
as there is . rat alive in this world Of
suffering and wrong. 80 long will that
noble old hen continue to pick him up
and drop him into a tub Of water with
q revengeful cluck." Hens, unreal
nockery, hens! We begin to hear that

| Interestrne Facts - 4 Figures About Dis.

A statement prepared at the Pension
Office by direction Of the chief of the
certificate division, Mr.. j. L. Smith,
shows that there are only AS pensioners
of this class on the roll who have lost
an arm at the shoulder,joint or . leg at
the hip-joint. The small number a.
compared with the number of pensioners
in the other classes indicate how few
survive the amputation Of an entire
limb. There is greater danger atten-
dant upon the entire amputation of .
leg than of an arm, for there are on the
rolls only 10 pensioners who have lost
q leg at the hip-jOint. while those who
have lost an arm at the shoulder-ioint
number 443. They receive S45 per
month. There are 3, los pensioners who
have lost an arm above the elbow, and
2.64l who have lost leg above the
knee. Such pensioners are to receive q
pension of 1856 per month. an increase
of Sc. There are also S39 pensioners
who have lost an arm below the elbow,
and !, 1S5 pensioners who have lost leg
below the knee. These pensioners are
to receive $50 a month. an increase Of
sc. The bill further provides :" that
nothing contained in this act shall be
construed to repeal section 1859 of the
revised statutes of the United States,
or to change the rate of S1S per month
therein mentioned to be proportionately
divided for any degree of disability es-
tablished. for which section 1926 makes
no provision" The list of pensions
now paid shows that i'm the higher
grades the number of pensioners
is comparatively small. For
instance, for what is termed total dis
ability, such as the loss of both arms,
both legs. both hands. both feet, the
sight of both eyes and insanity. the
highest pension is paid, namely s72 per
month. The number of pensioners in
these classes is as follows: Lost both
arms,2l; both legs, %: both hands. Z;
both feet. 80; both eyes, 551: insanity,
100. There are only two persons who
receive higher pension than $72 per
month, one of whom receives $75 per
month and the other 800. the latter
being General Black, Commissioner OF
Pensions, who received this pension BY
a special act of Congress. Of the $50.
600 and more pensioners now on the
rolls, the largest number. 60,26S. re-
ceivc "a per month; the next highest
number. i4,775, receive 50 per month.
Then there are 1859 pensioners who
receive So per month; 26.1S3 who re-
ceive 81 per month: -. who receive
Sl2 per month: 5000 who receive s24
per month: 1927 who receive 80 per

Ass who receive SIG per month, and
3,413 who receive Sl4 per month. The
grades of pensioners run from 81 per

Der of pensioners. In addition there

ordinary ground mole and the merry
little cricket whose cheerful chirping is
heard about the hearthstone during the
long winter evenings Prot. Nc
Cutcheon. the bugologist Of the depart
ment at once pronounced them mole
crickets.
They are so called from their great
resemblance to the mole, the fOrelegs
being palmate, short stout much hat-

projections. like the fingers of . hand,
and remarkably we'll adapted for Dig
ging in the earth. They are about an
inch and q half in length. Of a light
brown or fawn color, and covered with
a short velvet-like down. The wings
of these specimens are longer than of
those shown in the books.
From report of the entomolOgist ut
Washington we learn that '.they gen.

and form passages or galleries in the
soil The European species are said to
Law from two hundred to four hundred
eggs in a nest or kind of chamber under

animal substances and will eat raw
meat. when pressed for food will even
kill and devour each other. A CORE

said they were very numerous and had
