DOC TAX.-PetitiOns are in circula-
lation and are very numerously sign
ed requesting the Legislature to place
tax on dogs. Some years since we
had dog tax, but the law was CON-
paratively imperative, it is said be-
cause of the loose way in which it was
drawn. We say tax the dogs and
protect the sheep.

WALK m AND HELP YOURSELF.

So far as he is able to do so, the new
Commissioner of Pensions, Mr.. Tan
ner, just tells the fellows who want
pensions to walk into the Treasury
and help themselves. If the case
won't fit the law he'll make it fit. No
one is turned away empty-handed,
and the more they ask for the better
the Commissioner likes it. A few
cases will show the recklessness with
which the moneyis being thrownaway
to persons who have no just claim for
il. Zenas Hamilton, of Michigan, was
at circus, when the seats fell and he
was somewhat hurt. He tried for a
pension, but under former admins
trations he could not convince the de-
partment that he was injured in the
line of duty. Corporal Tanner, how
ever, SAYS he must have a pension. 1t
has also been ordered that John i.
Davis shall have pension for the
death of his son. Davis, Junior, was
a hospital nurse in 1868, and intending
to take swig of the hospital brandy
he drank aconite instead, which laid
him out. A Democratic administra-
ton could not see what duty COM
PEELED him to drink brandy, so the
pension was refused. But Mr.. Tan
ner has reversed the decision, and an
c Their hole is made in the surplus. An
Ohio soldier named zimmerman was
frolicking with some of his compan-
ions, when one knelt down behind
him while another upset zimmerman
over him. He hurt his back, and
Commissioner Tanner gives him fat
pension. These are only few sam
pies of how the pension office is being
run by Commissioner Tanner, pre-
sumably by orderand consent of Pres
ident Harrison. It's enough to make
a body sick!

Longevity.


Scientific men see no reason why
the span of human life may not be ex-
tended to a round hundred years
from the present limit of seventy to
eighty years. /,
The age to which persons lived
varies in Old Testament chronology.
From Adams time to that of Methu-
selah and Noah, men are recorded as
attaining to well nigh the age OF 1,OOO
years. The Psalmist Davis, however,
SAYS: ''The days of ourags are three
score years and ten; and though men
be so strong that they come to four
score years, yet is their strength
then but labor and sorrow; so soon
passeth it away, and we are gone.
The wide margin of longevity, to-
gether with proper observance OF
mental, moral and physical laws, leads
investigators to believe it is possible
that human life might be made to in
crease in length of days to a full
century, at least.
Moderation and regularity in eating,
drinking and sleeping are conductive
to longevity, and those who observe
proper habits and use pure and effi-
cacious remedies when sick, may &C
complish immense labor with no APP
parent injury to themselves and
without foreshortening their lives.
Hon. H. H. Warner, President Of
the Rochester, n. Y, Chamber of
Commerce, and manufacturer of the
celebrated Warmers Safe Cure, has
devoted much time and research to
this subject of longevity, and has ar
rived at the satisfactory conclusion
that life may be prolonged and mans
virile powers increased and preserved
at the same time by rational and
natural means. Thousands OF
persons are living to day-enjoying
the blessing of perfect health and
vigor-who will testify to the almost
magical efficacy of Warmers Safe
Cure in restoring them to physical
potency and to the normal type of
constitution, after they had almost
given up hope of life.
After middle age, many begin to
lose their wonted vigor of body, and
thereupon give way to inertness and
useless repining. Yet all such have
within reach that which both renews
youth and contributes to the prolon-
CATION of life. Warmers marvellous
Safe Cures are in every drug store,
and are now regarded as standard
specifics throughout the civilized
world.
The strong desire to attain old age
meantime retaining the virile
powers of body and minds neces-
sarily connected with the respect
paid to aged persons, for people
would scarcely desire to be old, were
the aged neglected or regarded with
mere sufferance. That is a high civil
ization to which age is made source
of distinction. Ofall marks of respect,
that to age is most willingly paid,
because every one who does homage
to age may himself, eventually, be-
come an object of such homage.
