A Singular Pension Case.

Ten years ago n man viii e eating din
ner at hotel in Erie, Pa, suddenly fell
over dead. The Coroner's jury found
that the cause of death was stranguation
from a piece of roast beef. His widow,
Mrs. Charles l.. Pierce, made an applica-
ton for pension, alleging that the am
putation of his leg. caused by gunshot
wound received in the late war, produced
neuralgia, resulting in heart disease and
his death. The Commissioner of PEN
sions ruled that the cause of death, as
shown by the action of the Coroners jury.
had no connection with any disability due
to his military service, and rejected the
claim. Since then, however additional
evidence has been presented, including a
st atement signed by all the members of
the Coroner's jury that they believed that
they erred in their verdict and that the
death was due to pre- existing conditions
of heart disease.
Atiidavits were submitted by physicians
TO the same effect, but all this did not
cause the Commissioner of Pensions to
change his mind. Assistant Secretary
Bussey, however, finds that the weight of
the evidence is largely in favor of the
theory of heart disease as the cause of
death, and that this condition of his
heart was due to the loss of his leg. He,
therefore, directs a pension to issue, and
the widow, who is n resident of Erie, Pa,
will receive Sl7 per month, dating back
to Jau. IL, 1850. and each of the five
minor children will receive % per month
from the same date Washington Star

Ore BOYS Record OF Accidents.

The marvellous capacity of the small
boy for breaking himself up is amusingly
illustrated in the case of Alexander
Chambers, son of T. w. Chambers, OF
Brooklyn, whose twelve years of life
have been made exhilarating by the fol-
lowing disastrous incidents:
Broke his nose falling off a plank,
seven feet, on the tagging of an alleyway.
Sprained one of his arms.
Fell on the sidewalk and broke his nose;
second calamity of the kind.
Run over by a truck; left thigh broken.
Fell between the wheel aud body of a
truck, decorating left leg and crushing
ankle bone, causing an abscess to form.
Shot in the foot by playmate, who
had snapped pistol Mt him sixteen times,
and had at last succeeded, on saying,
Here she goes, Ally"
Broke finger Will, at play.
Cut his head by getting knocked down
in n skirmish.
Left arm badly bruised by similar
difficulty.
Long cash in the skull, acquired by
being tripped up and whacked on the head
by another boy.
This is the record to date, but Alexan-
der hopes to lengthen it as he grows older.

Suggestions for Housekeepers.

If the fat in the frying kettle is hot
before you are ready for 1T, put in dry
crust of bread 1t will not burn as long
as 1t has something to do, only when it Is
left idle.
1t is convenient to have an iron holder
attached by long string to the band of
the apron when cooking; it saves burned
fingers or seorched aprons, and is always
at hand.
A spatula or palette knife is the best
thing for scraping batter, porridge, etc,
from the sides of bowls or pots; it is not
expensive, and soon saves its cost by pre-
venting waste.
Keep a casp-knife or knife with
q handle different fIom those in con-
mon use for the sole purpose of peel
ing onions, and so avoid the flavor and
odor of them where it is neither expected
nor desired.
Half teaspoon of sugar will nearly
always revive dying fire, aud, unlike the
few drops of coal oil which servants
are so fond of using. and which ha Q
caused so many sad accidents, is perfectly
safe.
TO mend a very large hole in socks
or woven underwear, tack piece of
strong net over the aperture and darn
over it. Thus mended the garment will
be stronger than when new, and look
far neater than when darned in the ordi-
nary way.
To keep the bright green color of sum-
mer cabbage and some other vegetables,
boil fast in plenty of water in which has
been dissolved a piece Of ", shing soda
the size of two peas; cover unit ! the water
boils and then take off the lid. If the
steam is shut in the cabbI ge will be yell
low and unsightly.
Fasten one of the cheap. three fold
towel racks securely TO the kitchen wall
near the stove, and it will serve to hang
your jelly bag, which should be provided
with four loops of strong tape in place of
the usual string. Slip the two loops OPP
posite each other on the outer arms of the
rail and the alternate ones on the middle
arm. You will find it far more convenient
than tying the bag to the backs or legs of
chairs.
To avoid thu horrible odor which too
often fills the house when cabbage or
other green vegetables are boiling, follow
these simple directions: Put your cab
bage in a net, and when you have boiled
il five minutes in the first pot of water,
lift it out, drain for few seconds, and
place carefully in second pot. which
YOU must have full of fast-boiling water
on the stove. Empty the first water away,
aud boil your cabbage till tender in the
second-GOOd HOuSekeeDin1.

ClOud Forms.

Some curious facts hearing upon the
forms of clouds have been obtained by
observing how dust is distributed and de-
posted by winds. Mr.. Abercromby, who
makes speciality of studying the weather,
reports TO the Royal society numerous
observations which he has made on the
motion of dust in various parts of the
world especially on the deserts of the
west coast OF South America.
He finds that the wind sometimes blows
dust into streaks or lines, which are
analogous to fibrous or hairy cirrus clouds.
AT other times the dust is blown into
transverse ridges aud burrows. like solid
waves, which resemble certain kinds of
Heecy clouds. Still other winds pile the
dust into cresceut-sh ped heaps. with
their convex side TO the wind, and these
are similar to the cloud form Gale
-mackeral- scales"
All'kinds of vhirlwinds in dust present
a likeness to atmospheric cyclones.
Sometimes the wind raises the dust with.

The Labors o, n I,apid Penman.

A rapid penman can write 80 words In
a minute. To do this he must draw his
pen through the space of rod-l6A feet.
In 10 minutes his pen travels a funong,
and in five and third hours a mile. We
make, on an average. l6 curves, or turns
of the pen, for each word written.
Writing 80 words to a minute, we must
make curves each second; in an hour,
26, 800; in 8 hours, 1874, 900; and in 800
days, working only hours each day. we
make not less than 0,2C0,0O curves and
turns of the pen. The man who makes
but 1000, 900 strokes of the pen per
month has done nothing remarkable;
there are those who make four times that
number. Here we have in the aggregate
a mark 500 miles long, to be traced on
paper by each writer in year. In max
ing each letter of the ordinary alphabet.
We make from three TO seven strokes of

was no further off than 1888 that Madame
Daguerre, the wife of the inventor of the
process, had an earnest consultation with
one of the medical celebrities of the day
concerning her husbands mental condi-
ton. After acquainting the physician
with the many indications of Daguerre 3
mental alteration, she added, with tears
in her eyes, that the concluding proof of
his insanity was his absolute conviction
that he would succeed in mailing his own
shadow on the wall or in fixing it on
magical metallic plates. The physician
listened with profound attention to this
eliminating evidence of mental derange-
ment, answering that he, himself, had OBJ
served in Daguerre strong symptoms of
madness. He closed the consultation by
advising that her husband should be sent,
quietly, and without delay, to the we'll
known lunatic asylum. Bicetre. Two
months later the world of art and sci
ence was stirred to it's center by the exhi-
bition of number of pictures actually
taken by the new process. Arago, in jan
uary, 1889. laid an account of the process
before the Academic des Sciences, and
soon the "lunatic" was heralded as the
father of photography.

A Reyengerul Monkey.

A very amusing story is told OF n mon
kew and a cockatoo in the Geological
Gardens in Washington. One day the
cage of the cockatoo was put on top or
the cage OF very intelligent monkey,
who is a great favorite with visitors. The
monkey, undisturbed by the presence of
his gorgeous neighbor went flying about,
as usual, most actively. In the course of
his movements hts tail went throu2 the
top of his cage and lay against the side of
Miss Cockatoo's cage. She Immediately
caught it with telk and claws, and the
poor monkey screamed and struggled to
free himself When he did at last get
free, he hair was torn from his tail, and
for some days he suffered. The cockatoo
was moved across the aisle, and the mon
KEY seemed TO understand who was
responsible for his hurt
Somebody had given the monkey small
piece of n mirror, which he greatly en-
joyed, while at the same time he was
very much puzzled ut the sudden appear
ance of a neighbor who was evidently of
his own race but whom be could not coax
out from his peculiar hiding place. One
day. as he held the mirror, ray of sun
light struck it and blinded him for a
minute. The reflection danced about
from place to place, to the monkeys de-
light, at last striking the cockatooos
cage, who gave frightened scream rs 1t
struck her ewes, for it blinded her. The
monkey bv this time had learned to direct
its rays, and for over half an hour the
cockatoo was chased from side to side
and from top to bottom of her cage by the
binding flash, the monkey evidently en-
joying her fright. He could not be di-
yerted until p ssing cloud made the bit
of mirror useless ms a means of torture,
and the monkey found hmse again con-
fronted by the queer neighbor whom he
conld not touch, but whose face so per-
fectly reflected his own feelings.

At other times the dust Ia gathered into
masses intermediate in form between the
whirlwind and the simple rising cloud.
Some of these reproduce the com oination
of rounded. fiat, and hairy clouds that
are built up over certain types of squalls

Mr.. Abercromby also concludes that
whirlwinds are not generated by excess
sive heating of the soil alone. They re-
quire certain amount of wind from
other causes to be moving at the time.
The general conclusion reached is, that
when the air is in more or less rapid
motion, small eidies of various kinds
form themselves; and that these develop

1t is possible to do this even in regions OF
