THE LIBRARY TABLE.


The thirteenth volume of Alden's Mani
fold Cyclopedia embraces the alphabet from
Electricity to Exclaim, and is work of 632
pages the general range of subjects may
be gathered from the following brief list,
with the number of pages given to each ::
Electricity has - pages; Electric Light, 6
pages; Elizabeth (Quee-), about pages
with a fac-simile of her signature,
which is interesting if not beautiful I;
Emerson pages; England, about
Is pages; Engraving about pages
Ensilage, nearly 3 pages; Episcopal
Church, about pages Ethics, over 6 pages
Ethnology. 10 pages. Our school committees
and saperintendents would do well to secure
this work for the public schools. A cyclic
pedia of some kind is needed in every school
This costs but little, while for school use it
is far more convenient and practical than
the large and very expensive works. For
home use the Manifold is equally desirable
While it does not ''till up" with
elaborate treatment on reconcile subjects
il does present Jsst the kind of in
formation which is needed in every day life.
Another valuable feature is found in the
needed to explain the text. The paper is of
fair quality and the binding exceedingly good
for book sold at the low price of 80 cents a
volume in cloth. or 90 cents in half Morocco.
with 10 cents additional for postage if sent
by mail A specimen volume can be OBJ
tanned and returned if not as represented.

Giazier most properly gave his own name

Capt. Glazier commenced his return journey

and his descriptions interesting. The Indians
afford him an instructive topic, and

music of some of their dances. His canoe

keeps himself shut up to all impress
SONS from the world around, buries
himself most of the time in mud or
sand, and in general is u stay-at-
home from away back. If you want
to get some good out of life, don't act
like clam, but venture away once in
a while from the place where you
were born, and see the world. Don't
he clam by being indifferent what
line of railroad you travel OH, but
select the one that is best in accom-
modations, fastest in time, surest in
connections-"The Burlington. It

Union Soldiers Pensions.

Mr.. George L. Kilmer gives in The
Century summing up of facts in regard
to army pensioners. In 1888 1926, 1886 SOL
diers received pensions. OF these, 3d.
$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 month is allowed to him.
The sum was fixed in 1918, when the
cost of living was so much less than 1t is
now that it was deemed man might
live comfortably on this sum.
There are 32,007 pensioners who re-
ceive SO month or less. Only "a, 403 of
the whole 217 $50 receive over SEA month.
The sum annually paid for pensions OF
SO a month and under amounts to $751;
SS8, 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 $780,
707, 222.92 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.
tits estimated that there are now 1885,
900 Union soldiers alive, of all ranks, Of
the average age Of 80 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 So a month, with ar
additional one cent a month for each
days service beyond 800. This, if it be-
came law, would increase the annua
pension outlay to over $3.50, 100000.

Marriage in Nebraska.

There are two couples in Nebraska
who ought to know whether marriage
is 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 a 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. p.
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 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 a jolly wedding party, all
four together. What material for the
novelist is herel

thing of a new wrinkle in the appoint

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 the Pacific side the
work is expected to begin the 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 a
good while ago some Englishman called
it Greytown. Whatever we call it, how
ever, property is advancing in value
within its limits already. 1t is agreeable
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
the numerical strength OF the various
religious bodies of the country does
not warrant any theories of religious
decadence, so far as church member
ship is an index. The commune
cants of the seven leading religious
sects aggregate about 16. 900, 900, which
ia probably about half of the per-
sons oyer eighteen years of age.
There are many church members un-
der eighteen, but they are offset by
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
strength, with more preachers than
either of the others. The increase OF
members the past year is given as
49,, 900, which is well up in proper
