The Michigan Pension Agency.

The United States Pension Agency
for Michigan, has been for more than Il
year, and still is, matter of profound
interest to the Republicans of this
State. Several candidates have been
zealously supported by their respective
friends for this important and response
bic position, and they are still in the
field. Comrade f. III. Harvey, of Paw
Paw, has, from Ithe first, been promi-
inent among the aspirants for this of
flee, and his claims are still conceded
and resolutely championed by host
of good men in this and other sections
of the State. Upon the accession of the
Democratic party to power five years
ago, President Cleveland appointed as
Pension Agent of Michigan, veteran
from the ranks who had lost his leg in
battle. In this selection Mr.. Cleveland
preferred Private disabled soldier to
Mrs. General Custer, and other candi-
dates, gentlemen who had held high
rank in the army. The appointment
was cordially applauded by both politi-
cal parties. Now the Republicans are
in power, and successor to Robert
McKinstry is soon to be recommended
for appointment by our Senators at
Washington. Will the Republican
party, with its profuse and positive as
surances of friendship for the soldier
class, especially the disabled portion of
that class, do less than did the Demo-
cratic party? Will a private one-legged
veteran be 'supplanted by an able
bodied officer, and that too to the ex-
clusion of candidate i'm every respect
equally well qualified, and who served
in the ranks during the war, leaving his
right leg on the battle field of Cold
Harbors Will the Republican party
thus violate the precedent established
by its political rival This, it seems
to us, is the question to be considered,
and not the quality of political endorse
ment that can be gathered up, "hus-
tier" fashion, and dispatched to Wash

triumphantly sustained. The Courier
says that defects were Intentionally
left in the law by the Republicans.
The same charge could, with equal JUS
tice and propriety, be made against the
Democrats who passed the prohibitory
Statute of 1852 and 1853, which was de-
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court. If there are any grounds for the
claim, that the Republicans are acting
in bad faith, why do not some of the
Democratic members of the legislature
expose them before the vote Is taken
on the measure, instead of waiting for
the action of the courtss Liquor leg
islation has not alone shared this fate,
as we find that laws passed by the Con-
gress of the United States, and by the
legislatures of the several states, on
various subjects, have been thus treated
As well might the charge of bad faith
be made i'm all of these cases The

the State, and are i'm favor of local OPP
ton in Van Buren, county, the assever-
atoms of the Courier, and those of like
mind to the contrary Notwithstanding
Their pleas are those of the demagogue
of the searcher after petty and unfair
advantages in party politics, and the
past record bellies their spasmodic pro-
fessions. If they are as anxious for
temperance legislation as they profess,
let them join hands with the Republi-
can party in an effort to secure it, and
thereby array themselves for once on
the right side of great moral question.

The young state of Montana has
elected four United States Senators, two
Republican and two Democratic. Gov.
Toole has issued certificates of election
to the Democrats, but the Secretary OF
State withheld the seal of the State
from these certificates, but attaches it
to the certificates of the Republicans,
the Governor refusing to append his
signature. This action will force a con-
test at Washington, which will doubt
less result in the seating of the Repub-
licans.

Love comes unbidden even when dancing
master Is the object of maidenly affection
and the maiden Quaker John loved Elmira
and In due course Of time and after various
difficulties, the two discovered mutual aft
lection. But, as Is ever the case, the course
of true love was rough one. Elmira'S father
stormed as fiercely as mild Quaker may and
Elmira's mother meelKly 'thee'dn and "thou'd"
her and cajoled and wspt over her until the
poor girl 'twixt love and hlial duty was nigh
about distracted. Nevertheless she married
John lang, North Berwick's dancing master,
and a true and noble wife she made him.
The elders of the church and the devout
brothers and sisters consulted one with an
other and rubbed heads In solemn conclave.
Twas hard thus to separate from the little
flock one who heretofore so soberly and pious-
ly conducted herself In all church and worldly
affairs. Yet duty was before them and in
open meeting the fat went forth. In the
ears Of the mother softly weeping and Of the
father grim and pathetically stern sounded
the words of the leading elder;
"Brothers and sisters, she that was Elmira
Stackpole having wed outside our society,
and having been united with one whose acts
minister to the carnal lusts of the body, Il
hereby separated from us and is no longer 8

SupfIowers and Malaria.

In a recent issue of the Russian medical
journal, The Meditzina, a contributor draws
attention to the common suntiower as an ex-
cellent and cheap substitute for quinlne IN
the treatment of malarial fevers Of all posi-
BILE forms. The remedy has been from time
immemorial used for the purpose in the Rus
sian. as well as Persian and Turkish popular
medicines, and that mostly after the follow
ing plan; A flask is filled loosely with finely
cut dry or recent flowers and stems, and then
with vodka aqua vitae, The Theoretically
corked vessel is left to stand under sun rays
or at some warm place, for two or three days
The tincture is then ready for use, and should
be given as a small wineglassful three times
day. In recent cases, complete and perna
nent cure ensues in from one to three days
in most obstinate and inveterate cases, moi
later than a week. The remedy proved sue
cessful, even in such cases where quinine anc
other anti-malarial means failed.

Pumps for New Cruisers.

Naval engineers are much pleased with the
auxiliary air and circulating pumps for the
cruisers Concord and Bennington. A recent
test of these pumps showed that 100 strokes
per minute can be madeon seventy pounds OF
steam and that if necessary this steam press
ure can be increased to $40 pounds. 1t has
been Furthermore shown that thepumps, when
working 15o strokes per minute, can perform
work equal to that accomplished by 1913 strokes
per minute of the Yorktown's pumps. But to
obtain the 123 strokes the Yorktown's pumps
required a steam pressure of something like
1856 pounds.
The superiority of the pumps in the Quin-
tard cruisers over those in the Yorktown is a
matter Of no little satisfaction to the officers
of the navy inasmuch as the Yorktown's
pumps are of English design, while those put
In the Concord and Bennington are American
in design and manufacture. The work OF
getting aboard all the machinery of the Con
cord and Bennington has been effected. With
in two weeks after the cruisers are launched
it is calculated that steam can be gotten up

Beating Out the Devil.

A Hindoo mill hand, named Ramji Dali,
had for some time been suffering from swol-
len knee joints and pains in various parts OF
the body. He went to the mill to get some
wages due to him, and on his return was
taken i'll on the road. He was brought home
on the back of friend in an almost uncon-
'scious state, and was placed in sitting pos
ture, being held up by his father. A man
named Dec, who was present, suggested that
he was possessed Of a devil, in order to expel
which Dec swayed himself about in front OF
the sick man, seized hold Of his hair, and de-
manded of the devil who he was.
Not receivinga reply he struck the deceased
violently with a rattan, when the latter fell
back In dying condition; but before his
death another friend took the rattan and beat
the deceased, both men swaying their bodies
to and fro and protesting to be possessed with
the spirit of agod. The hogging was intended
to drive out the devil. Dali died almost inn
mediately without complaint, The widow
narrated all these facts 10 the coroner and de
scribed both Aoggings as being very violent
The medical evidence showed that there were
several bruises on the back and an abrasion
on the right hip, but that the cause of deatt
was hemorrhage from rupture of the spleen
which was probably not due to the tiogging
The jury found verdict accordingly, adding
that there was no evidence to show how TIN
spleen became ruptured. --London Times.

beheaded in 1854, shortly after the execution
of his daughter. There is a tradition that
the executioner did not. as was usual in such
cases, hold up the head Of the duke to the
people, but simply let it drop into the basket

bring it secretly to the church and place II

Use OF Chloroform.

A commission of experts of the highest stand
ing, employed by the nizam of Hyderabad to
investigate the use Of chloroform as an anees-
thetic, has just made report, in which 1t de-
clares that the danger from the chloroform Is
not to the heart, as is generally supposed, but
to the lungs. 1t says: However conoen-
trated the chloroform may be, it never causes
sudden death from stoppage Of the heart.
Chloroform has no power Of increasing the
tendency to either shock or syncope during
operations The truth about the fatty heart
seems to be that chloroform per Sc in no way
endangers such heart, but, on the contrary,
by lowering the blood pressure, lessons the
work that the heart has to perform, which Is
a positive advantage" The practical conclu-
sions of the commission are that the safe ad'
minstration of chloroform depends on care
full attention to the respiration. Care must
be taken that it is not interfered with, and Il
by any accident 1t stops artificial respiration
must be instantly begun. Rules on this sub
ject are given, by constant attention to which
the commission asserts that chloroform car
be given with perfect ease and absolute safety

Wear and Tear.

One of the annoyances to which popular
restaurant, as well as hotels, are subjected,
is a continual curse Of petty thieving by
patrons If soap of good quality is used in
the wash rooms, it disappears as fast as it ID
pat out. Hair brushes and combs are car
ried away every day, and, strange as it may
seem, every day finds a restaurant doing
big business short on its knives, spoons, forks,
cups, butter Dishes saucers, and even plates.
The cruets in the casters and salt and pep
per shakers also disappear. In the hotels the
loss in fine glassware in which drinks are
served is considerable annually, and towels
are carried away by the score. There are
hundreds OF people who were never known
to buy matches, but they always fill their
boxes from the public supply. This is all
annoying and quite expensive, but it is one
of the items of wear and tear in business. -
