praise has recently been published In the

Canada to attend this popular and success

Our Boys In Blue and the Amount Paid IN
In Pensions,

| Commissioner Blacks report on the sub
ject of pensions contains some very inter.
esting statistics In view OF the fact that
the republican leaders have endeavOred to
throw discredit on the administration of
Mr.. Cleveland this official record will
prove instructive.
The total amount Of money expended by
the Pension Bureau during the year ending
June 80 was $82 OBS, 1856. The total expen
ditures of the government for the same
period amounted to $287 1924 8O1. 1t will
be seen, therefore, that In the last fiscal
year over thirty per cent, or nearly one
third of the money disbursed, was given to
the brave boys who went to the field when
the country was In peril
So far from neglecting the interests Of
the soldiers this administration has shown
itself to be pre.eminently the soldiers
friend That Is to say, more special PEN
sion acts have been passed during the last
four wears than during the same period of
time since the days Of Mr.. Lincoln. The
grand total of these acts since 1861 to 1883

they show that considerably more than
one. third of the special pension acts since
the beginning of the war are to be credited
to this democratic administration.
The pension rolls have been enlarged In
the last twelve months by the addition of
60252 new names, while increased pen

We have every reason to hold our vete

The only fact. however, to which we
desire to call attention Is that the soldiers

toward the nihil:sts than his police and it
was through him that the last batch ar

TnE law is supposed to be an engine
to administer justice, but it seems
sometimes to defeat it's end A pecu-
liar case i'll point is that of u Massa-
chusetts woman who married man in
,,ood faith nineteen years ago and lived
with him as his wife until his death, in
1885. She then learned that her sup
posed husband was already married
when he married her; that his wife is
still living, and that no decree of sep
aration has ever been entered. Learn
ing that she had no legal right to his
property, she sued to recover for serv-
ices as his housekeeper. Here the law
stepped in and informed her that as she
lived with the late lamented as his wife
she had no claim on him for services
as a servant; and that as she was no
wife in law, though undeniably SO in
'act, no dover right can be maintained.
She seems to be just wife enough to
defeat her claim for recompense as a
servant, but not enough to establish
her claim to share in his estate. This
may be law yard wide, but it is scant
justice.

Why Kill Snakes !?

The utter horror produced in almost
every one at the sight of snake I con-
ceive to be the result of education.
From my earliest recollection, when
going into bush pasture for the COWS
or for berries, my good mother would
caution me to "look out for snakes" or
"don't let the snakes catch you;" and
during those early years heard awful
stories about snakes, which created q
fear Of them from which have suffered
much, and suppose that has been the
experience of the average New England
boy. Now, l earnestly protest against
that kind of education, as it proves an
element Of great discomfort to chill
dr. n in after life. Snakes are perfectly
harmless excepting the venomous
species) and as timid as birds, and
children should be taught SO, and they
should no more be allowed to be cruel
to snake than to frog or turtle.
When young heard the maxim, IF
you kill the first snake you see, it is
sign you conquer your enemies" And
also, Break the first brake and kill
the first snake, and it will insure good
luck for the year." Unnec essary cruelty

sured.
It is now to me pitiful sight to see
a man turn aside to pursue little in
nocent snake, as harmless as fly and
not half so annoying, as though some
dire calamity was to be averted by his
success in destroying it. Although I
must confess to having done the same
thing and practiced much cruelty to-
ward them. it was simply the result of
education; and now, since 1 have thor
oughly made their acquaintance, feel
disposed in some small measure to
atone for my past indiscretions. In
youth I was taught to regard toads
with disgust, no less than the snake,
but not with the same dread. I was
told that to handle them would cause
my hands to be covered with warts,
etc. I have since known people who
were fond of playing with them, and /
now call to mind a lady of culture and
refinement who would catch a toad and
pet it, tell it what pretty eyes it had,
call it one of Gods beautiful, beauti-
full creatures, and lay it against her
face as child would pet bird. Toads
and snakes are equally harmless, but
neither of them have any attraction for
me; still can be merciful toward
them.-FOreSt and Stream.
