ABBETT's PENSION SCHEME.

Governor Abbett's circular sent out to the
Grand Army posts, informing them that
the Governor had set up q pension bureau
Of information in connection with the ex-
ecutive department, has brought a good
batch Of correspondence, winch has been
duly assorted and sent to Washington.
This brings the executive department
directly into conflict with the pension
department of the Adjutant-General's
office and makes bid for the very work
which has been conducted by Colonel
James S. KIger for years and which costs
the State s., 900 a year. The Governors
circular was a novel campaign document.
There was no necessity for such action, be-
cause the State has had a free Pension
Bureau since 1880. Since that time on an
average 500 pensioners have used tile
Acknowledgement department every year.
The business has been increasing and the
service pronounced excellent. The fact
that the Governor has set up an opposition
agency is causing some pertinent comment.
Last year The Adjutant.G General done an
enormous pension business aud the report
for 1899 says:
THE number of applications for the
various benefits provided by the Govern
ment to disabled soldiers, sailors or their
dependents and referred to this office for
assistance is still on the increase. Cor
reSpondence with the several departments
of the General Government for infoTma-
ton in reference 10 the status of claims is
very large. A large amount of testimony
has passed through this Office during the
year for my personal examination and
review, and when found to meet the Ie-
quirements called for by the departments,
has been endorsed forward for action.
Colonel James Kiger during the year per-
sonally presented for the special examina-
ton Of the pension office 607 cases, as well
as a large number of claims of a varied
character before other departments Of the
Government.
Colonel kiger personally takes charge of
these applications. He travels all over the
State securing afidavits of comrades and
necessary witnesses. He is known as the
pension missionary because of this peculiar
service. His salary is Il, 200. He visits the
department at Washington every month.
Miss Ida Phares, who has charge of
the correspondence on pensions. gets 500
a year. Yet with all this excellent ma
chinery in motion, the Governor takes Ii on
himself TO inform the veterans that he will
giyea personal supervision of their claims.
1t is regarded as a clever campaign trick.

A.warm salt bath is very refreshing to
any one suffering from exhaustion of
travel or of a long shopping expedition
which is as trying to mind and body as
anything that can be undertaken by a
woman. Away from the seashore a very
simple substitute for sea-w ater is a cup OF
rock salt dissolved in warm water and
added to the bath. When the salt is irri-
tating to the skin, take a warm bath and
sponge offwith a mixture of violet or Law
ender water and alcohol, about half aud
half, and rub briskly with a warm friction
towel. Such a method prevents the OK
haustion and danger of cold which follow
a warm bath.

Love is not love which asks
The golden grain alone, without the tares

One Of the best lessons that can be

looking forward and never back v ard.
Look out and not in,
Look up and not down,
Look forward and not back ward.
And lend It hand.
These immortal words of DR.. Hale can
never be too deeply impressed on us all.
Familiar as they are on every hand, they
will bear quoting again and always, and
they should really be inscribed in letters of
gold, somewhere in every home. 1t is,
perhaps, the most beneficent lesson of life
for children to be taught to look forward;
to be hopeful and believing; to learn not
to carry about any dead weight of regrets;
to be able to contemplate even serious dis
aster and loss without responding or re-
GREETING. Mistakes and errors Of iudg-
humanity, and If one can learn by a mis-
take not to repeat it, let him count it all
joy. There is no real loss in the world
save loss of coed temper, good feeling,
good will or coed character. All other
losses can be borne. and for their sorrow,
or their misfortune, there are eompeusa-
tions. So far as possible, let children be
taught not to dwell OF past errors or ae-
cidents. Nothing in the divine promise is
a more practicable aid to a useful and a
happy life than the assurance that $50 far
