The Industry of pension Corruption.

Lieut. Allen II. Foote. in the December Forum.l
As though it was feared that those who vol
unteered to serve their country would not
volunteer to accept the bride thus offered
them, sixty thousand pension attorneys have
been commissioned, about twenty thousand
of whom are in active practice, to hunt up the
old soldiers, and coax, urge, and tempt them
to make oath that they are unable to earn a
support BY manual labor" For this work of
corrupting the loyalty, honor, and honesty of
the ''Boys in Blue" the government offers a
reward to the pension attorney often dollars
each. These pension attorneys are REINFORCED
by senators and representatives in Congress,
who in one year have made l54,S requests
on the commissioner ofpensions for 1.-THE con-
dition of claims" Under such conditions,
the country need not be astounded at the
figures given by the commissioner of pensions
in his official report for the fiscal year ending

Round tables are becoming more and
more established in fashionable favor as
the proper shape for the dinner board.
For some time the small round ones have
been used at supper parties, and now the
English social season is emphasizing the
use of the dinner size. 1t is an old fash
ion revived, and artistic dinner givers
will welcome it. A table can be so pref
tly laid when all the covers radiate from
a common center. The circular boards
are decidedly more sociable too. Just
as changing a company from one room
to another disturbs and chills social
warmth, SO turning a corner Mt the table
splits the unanimity of the circle, divides
the diners into groups, and the amalga-
nation of talk is prevented.
The change, too, will be a welcome
one to frequent dinner givers, who of
late find their ingenuity taxed to devise
novel floral arrangements. A round
table at once demands quite n different
"laying" from an extension board New

If you want to produce n good effect
on the skin steam it Mt night, wipe dry
and powder it with fine sulphur, busted
on with a powder puff. Sleep with this
on, wash off in the morning and rub in
a very little of this delicious c%erate,
lightly rubbing it along the lines of
the face. A bit the size of n large pea is
quite enough, and n minutes rubbing
by the clock is all the time that ought to
be spent on the soft fabric of the skin.
Don't rub it in, but rub it out to spread
it over the face. This will prevent the
natural moisture from drying with wind
and heat. After an hour or two wash
the face if necessary, only don't rub off
all the film which protects the skin and
merely supplies the place of the natural
sterine which prevents evaporation from
the pores.
If your hands are to be in water or
gardening or gathering flowers, whose
juices roughen the skin, rub the hands
well first with the cerate-not the bleach
ing kind, but the bland sort-and draw
on loose gloves for outdoor work. For
the soaking, let the hands take their
chance with the cerate, which will keep
them from getting watersoaked ,whichin-
jures the skin more han anything else.

WHY Woman shonla lie wn,ksr..

The possibility the probability, in

woman's Rights in Austria.

Austrian women seem suddenly alive
10 their rights" A large and enthusi-
astic meeting was held in Vienna, at
which no man was present excepting the
government commissary, whose presence
is necessary at all public meetings. A
spirited debate evolved the following
resolution to be forwarded to the reichs-
rath:
THE women of lower Austria demand
that parliament shall introduce such
notifications into the existing admins
trative and constitutional laws as will
insure the following measures;
"First-That the middle and lower
schools be opened gratuitously to wom-
en-, and that the number of professions
accessible for women be increased.
"Second-That women be allowed to
take part in political affairs; that all
Austrian subjects of age and in the en-
joyment of their rights as such, without
consideration for the amount of taxes
they pay and regardless of their position
or sex, shall be entitled to equal and di-
rect parliamentary suffrage"
