"A Yachting Party,' beautifully
executed watercOlOr, is the hitting
frontispicce for Demorests Monthly
Magazine for September. This is fol-
lowed by u handsomely illustrated
article on Bar Harbor, which almost
makes us feel the cool breezes Of that
delightful summer resort. From the
extreme East we are carried to the
extreme West, and are treated to a
very amusing account Ito which the
unique illustrations greatly add OF
how two women took up quarter
section OF land in Dakota, and sue
cesstalIy cultivated it. We then so
on "A Voyage Through Space" to the
sun, and in an extremely interesting
way, that even a child can under
stand, are told all about the spots that
appear on the face Of the god of
day. Jenny June tells US, in the de-
partment for "Our Girls,' when girls
should marry; and the boys are not
forgotten, for there Is given for them
q seasonable article (profusely illus
trated on "Swimming and Diving"

Marriage in Nebraska.

There are two couples in Nebraska
who ought to know whether marriage
is a failure or not. A few years ago
they lived near together and became
great friends, especially one Of the hus-
bands with the other mans wife. At
last they became such friends that the
other two vowed they would stand it no
longer. There was a fine row. The
wicked wife packed off home to her
mother. The wicked husband of the
other woman packed off to Kansas. The
good husband and wife thus remained
to weep and sing "The Lay Of the Left. "
After singing some time it occurred to
both that, both being left, they might
console themselves with each other
Why hadn't they thought of it before:
In brief, each got divorce from the
faithless ones and married each other.
Nothing then was left for the faithless
ones but to do likewise. They, too, were
married. But somehow the fascination
that drew them together when each be-
longed to somebody else failed to draw
when they belonged to each other. The
two wicked partners became wofully
tired of each other in short time.
So did the two good partners. The
chain became more CALLING the longer it
was worn At last the two good ones
broke the chain by a divorce. The
wicked pair followed suit. Both good
ness and wickedness get tired of contem-
plating themselves. Then each returned
to his and her first love. The good wife
took back her wicked first husband; the
good husband took back his wicked first
wife. To complete this thrilling romance,
the two pairs were remarked at double
wedding in Omaha, at the same time and
place, and had jolly wedding party, all
four together. What material for the
novelist is here!
Chicago presents to civilization some
thing of a new wrinkle in the appoint
ment Of five women sanitary policemen.
It is their duty to inspect factories and
tenement houses in the interests of the
health and protection of working women
The New York legislature passed law
to the same effect, but the bachelor gov
ernor of the state vetoed it.

Union Soldiers Pensions.

Mr.. George L. Kilmer gives in The
Century summing upof facts in regard
to army pensioners. In 1888 1926, 1876 sol
diers received pensions. OF these, 217,-
$50 received from So down to 81 per
month. If an enlisted man is incapaci-
tated for general labor by reason Of war
service, So a month is allowed to him.
The sum was fixed in 1918, when the
cost of living was SO much less than it is
now that it was deemed a man might
live comfortably on this sum.
There are 32,007 pensioners who re-
ceive 50 month or less. Only GA, 4O3 of
the whole 217 $50 receive over sea month.
The sum annually paid for pensions Of
So month and under amounts to $751;
SSS, 900. Among those receiving pensions
above this sum are included invalids and
disabled officers.
Pensions paid out now, Of all classes,
for three wars, amount annually to $685.
7O7, 22292 During the last war there
were 5000, 900 cases of wounds and dis
ease. Apart from those who were dead
upon the field, 100000 Union soldiers
died Of wounds and disease.
1t is estimated that there are now ], $780,
900 Union soldiers alive, Of all ranks, Of
the average age of so years. At the last
national encampment of the g. A. R.
the committee on pensions passed reso-
luton recommending congress to enact
law giving to every surviving Union
soldier pension of IS a month, with an
additional one cent month for each
days service beyond 800. This, if it be-
came law, would increase the annual
pension outlay to over $3.50, 100000.

Northwestern Miller: The wheat
in the country elevators, as we'll as in
farmers hands is we'll cleaned up,
with not more than about 800, 900
bushels more to come here. Thre5h-
ing will begin next week in earnest if
the weather is dry. A few lots have
already been threshed and samples Of
the new crop have been sent in here
to sell by from South Dakota and
southern Minnesota as we'll as from
northern Iowa and Nebraska. 1t
bears small resemblance to the wheat
grown last year. 1t will be softer
and will likely call tor q large pro-
portion of pure Scotch fife to reach
the best results in illuminating, but
Is expected to be whittier and to give
better satisfaction.

The Nicaragua Canal.

Each month records some additional
progress with this great enterprise
Preparations are now making to dig
from both the Atlantic and Pacific sides
of the isthmus. On tho Pacific side the
work is expected to begin tho first of
January at Brito. The two sections of
laborers will work towards each other
and meet. On the Atlantic side it is a
question what the name of the entering
port shall be called. The native name
of it is San Juan de Nicaragua, but Il
good while ago some Englishman called
it GreytOwn. Whatever we call it, how
ever, property is advancing in value
within its limits already. 1t sagreeable
to record that the American company
who are constructing the canal take care
Of the health of their laborers and pro-
vide them with good food and pure
water. The canal will not be finished
till 1894 or 1895.

The annual statement, published
by the New York independent, of

religious bodies of the country does
not warrant any theories Of religious
decadence, so far as church member

sects aggregate about IS, OOO,O 900, which
is probably about a half of the per-
sons oyer eighteen years OF age.
There are many church members I'M

the numerous small denominations
not included in the figures. The
Methodists lead in churches and
members, the Catholics second in
members and the Baptists third in

Washington Letter: A very Inter-
esting story has been floating around
Washington for day or two, which
belongs to the important, il true"
class. 1t states, on seemingly good
authority that the President has de-
cided to appoint Secretary Noble, to
the vacancy on the bench Of the Su-
preme court, and that the vacancy in
the Cabinet will be filled by either
making assistant postmaster Clark
son, secretary Of the Interior, or by
transferring Mr.. Wanamaker to that
position and making Mr.. CIarkson
postmaster general. Secretary Noble
says he heard this news first from a
newspaper man. That gives it very
black eye to start with. The Presi-
dent like all other sensible public
men Is very friendly towards the
newspaper men, but he is hardly
friendly enough towards them to
have told one of them Of such an inn
pOrtant appointment, before inform
ing the man to be appointed. SO
much for the first part of the story.
AS neither Mr.. Wanamaker nor Mr..
Clarkson are lawyers it is certain
that neither of them will ever he
made Secretary of the Interior by
president Harrison, for he long ago
put himself on record as believing
that only lawyer should be at the
head of that department. That dis
poses of the last part of the yarn.
Assistant Attorney General Tyner
in response to letter of inquiry from
the chief clerk of the post office de-
partment, has written that when
three names are certified by the Civil
| Service Commission for appointment,
and one of them is a discharged
sailor or soldier he must be selected

Arc We Going to Be Ruined?

This time it is Bishop A. Cleveland
Coke who has made up his mind that
the countryis going to be ruined whether
or not. This is to be brought about by
the conqueriDg Of the United States by
aliens. In The Forum the bishop writes
that the government has stood for a
century because it was founded by the
Anclo-Saxon race. Washington was OF
pure Anglo-Saxon stock, with all its ira
ditions in his soul, and the Anglo-Saxon
stock is the only one that is capable OF
self government. Thus far we have
held fast to our long tried institutions
But now:
We are confronted by the terrible fact that we
are undergoing changes similar to those Wnlcn
have been the ruin Of ancient peoples In many
examples Successive invasions OF Spain made
for her a mongrel race, and have fastened upon
her a chronic state Of decay and lmbecnity. In
a more stealthy fashion, but with equal powers to
obliterate, hordes of barbarians are now flooding
our fair estate and taking possession OF our her"
itage We do not recognize the immigration as
On invasion which it really Is, simply because the
invaders land without arms and ammunition we
forget that they come WIN weapons Oh Aatd4 ILL
port to our civilization and to our race. Vice,
ignorance corruption, superstition and heredi
tary enslavement to foreign court which makes
war upon all free institutions, are the destructive
elements, worse than dynamite bombs which
they distribute through the land What boots
their lack of guns and bayonetsi We give the
invaders votes, and they are soon drilled and
magnified into balance Of power" which makes
them our masters
Who are these villains that are going
to bring upon us the ''swift destruction
sure to overtake any people that will
not be instructed by the experiences OF
mankind?" In the words of Bishop Coke
they are practically Irish, and Irish
always"
New York is ruled by aliens, who
have turned it's government into the
hands of a religious sect governed by
priests. That, the bishop fears, will be
the end of the whole country, and then
will come the overthrow of our sacred
national traditions,

He may hire himself as servant on

Anoka Union: I think the mean
est creature on Gods footstoOl is the
man who will sling his paper back

The mayor of Tacoma, w. T., it is said,
sent the following circular to the mayor
of Boston. 1t speaks for itself:
Resolved, That the Mayor and common council
Of the city of Tacoma appeal to the people Of Mas
sachusetts to send all women of manageable age
to this territory and city that be conveniently
spared, for tho purpose Of making happy thou
sands of young men in the holy bonds Of matri,
mony,
Also resolution
That this proclamation be forwarded to his
honor the mayor of Boston, with the request that
he publish it broadcast throughout the land and
in the hope that the newspapers print 1t once a
week for at least three weeks.
The circular processes to be accom-
panied by letter from Mayor Wheel
wright, of Tacoma, saying that there are
ten men to one woman in Washington,
that they are sober, industrious and in
telligent, and that women are greatly
needed to complete the civilization of the
state, and that they will be warmly well
coined.
The letter is naturally sent to Massa-
chusetts on account of the $4,000 surplus
women in that state.
This alleged serious circular may be
looked on in the light of large joke.
But aside from that the west generally
has warmly welcomed energetic and in
telligent women who go there desiring
to earn living. There are rare oportu-
mites for school teachers, cooks, clerks,
housekeepers and others who under
stand their business and are not afraid
to work. The farther west we go, the
more liberal the state laws are to wo-
men, and the more easy it is to secure
employment, and the better the wages
paid for nearly all kinds of work.
Washington territory has been men,
toned as offering especial inducements
to intelligent young working women.
