If all the old soldiers were pension

If all the old soldiers were pension
ed, it would not be so great o tax as
might be expected. Minnesota fur
nished 26,020 men during the late
war. There are now 6,379 pensioners
Of all grades in this state, the larger
number of whom have doubtless
come to the state since the war. There
were 6, 44S pension claims allowed in
1884 against 1873 allowed in 1886 and
4,711 allowed in 1885. If the decrease
of members in the ranks of the
veterans is in proportion to the de-
crease in the number Of pensions al
lowed, it will not be long until that
list of pensions will be exceedingly
small.-Red Wing Republican.

Tha Mousle'a Thanksgiving.

Twas Thanksgiving Day, and little brown
mouse
Sat busily thinking alone In her house.
The little mouse-babies had gone out to play
With the gray mousc's children just over the
way.
And o, how they wanted Thanksgiving
But there wasn't crumb in the cupboard to
eat.
Mousie sat few minutes, then ran through
And down the long stairs and into the pantry.
There were puddings and pies and cake on the
The mouse-mother thought she would just
help herself.
She took a small piece of everything there;
Then fastened the closet and run up the stair.
She put on the table bread butter and cheese,
Some nice jelly-roll and tart, If you please.
The little mouse-babies came homo very soon,
Each put on her bib and took her small spoon.
Then they ate and they nibbled, they nibbled
Not a erumb did they leave upon saucer or
plate.
And they said as they put spoons and bibs all
away,
Twas the jolliest kind of Thanksgiving Day

tits very seldom that such oppor-
tunities for unselfish and valuable
work in behalf of the people are
given to men, as will be given to
members al the next Legislature.
Much is needed and demanded in the
line of corrective legislation. The
people, too, are on the alert and will
watch proceedings closely and in the
future will be ready to reward their
friends and punish their enemies.

at all ambitious for the future will do

Among the measures which the re-
publicans have promised to pass this
winter is high license liquor law.
This was one OF the main If not the
principal issue of the campaign and
the friends of high license should see
that it is carried out. A state law
placing the license at $500 is the
best thing that can be adopted for
the regulation of the liquor traffic.
This together with the local opinion
law would greatly reduce the sale OF
liquor.

Hixson's majority for senator is
1.142 and Costello's for representative
1,9OS. Hixson carried every county
in the district and Costello all but
Stevens. That Costello ran ahead of
Hixson Is mainly due to the fact that
the democratic candidate for senator
traded off his colleague on the ticket
in order to increase his own vote.

HOPS.

Especial Report to Waterville IN. " Times.]
G. R. Dyke, a hop grower of St
Lawrence county says his yard will
only yield 300 pounds to the acre
whereas last year the yield was zoe
pounds.
A correspondent from Clayville, un'
der date OF August 7th, writes that
last year he produced 5000 pounds
from seven acres; this year on nine
acres he has eleven poles with hops
which will yield about one bushel. Al
Paris he says there are 500 acres
which generally produce four bales to
the acre; this year the yield will not
be seventy-fve bales from all the
acres.
A correspondent writing OF pros
poets for the hop crop in Monroe
Ontario and Livingston counties sayt
that in the latter county, for example
one yard yielding 1900 lbs. last year
not one pound will be obtained this
year. In Ontario county, the yard Of
Geo. Saxby, at East Bloomfield
yielded last year 16O bales; this year
it will yield eight to ten bales, and
twelve acres of the yard will yield not
pound. Monroe county is similarly
affected.

it, and frequently criticised the Introduction
of foreign words into our Language. The
student who could get the most Anglo Saxon
words into his TRANSACTIONS was Il favorite
with him. A waggish student in the class Of
the writer 1850 was translating in class
from one of the Greek authors, and came to
passage which probably any other member
of the class would have rendered: They
were creating a commotion among the divin-
ties" but which the student having the floor
read: 'They were kicking up muss among
the gods"
"How is thatr' askrd the doctor, ex-
citedly; "give us that again." And on its
being repeated. smacked his lips, as he fire.
quently did when pleased, and exclaimed:
Good! good! Remember that. 1t is the
oest translation ever heard of that passage.

On another occasion the saline class were
translating from Medea, and came to the
passage where she erie, out in agony,

battle than to bring forth one child The

CALIFORNIA HOP YARDS.

The number of acres of hops in the
immediate surrounding OF Heads
burg, says the Enterprise, is about
$50. Hop picking will begin about
the first of September. 1t is believed
that the yield to the acre in good hop
fields will average 1900 pounds. This
will require large force to pick it.
The hop growers place the number at
1000 or over, as it requires.eseven per-
sons to the acre. 1t is the intention
OF hop growers to employ white help
exclusively. The price to be paid will
be 1925 hundred pounds, which is
the highest that We have heard being
paid. In the Sacramento valley and
other portions OF the State the prices
range from 70 cents to 80 cents
