REVOLUTIONARY WIDOWS.
Venerable Women Whose Husbands Had

Venerable Women Whose Husbands Had
Fought in the War.
The last revolutionary soldier died
years and years ago. But the revolu-
tionary widows are still with us.
Twenty venerable women whose hus-
bands 'sfit'' for American independence
are carried upon the pension rolls. 1t
is amazing how the widows of soldiers
hold on At the present time, says Wash
ington letter, Uncle Sam is disbursing
$3S, 847 year to the old soldiers Of the
war of 1912. But the widows of the old
soldiers of the war of 1912 are drawing
in pensions the snug sum of 81, 1853. 239
annually. When we get down to the
Mexican war we find the survivors a
little the best Of it. They draw 81, 1885,
or a year. The Mexican war widows
get $685., 054. But the widows are creep
ing up OF the survivors. 1T will be
only a few years until the Mexican
war widows will be drawing more PEN
sion money than the survivors, That is
the way the pension laws work out. At
the Pension Office this is we'll under
stood 1t is explained in a few words
The old pensioners marry young wives,
and leave them their blessings and pen
sions. The pensioners of the civil war
will reach their maximum in mum bers
eight or ten years from now if there
are no more pension laws enacted. But
the widows list will keep OH growing
for quarter Of century. Fifty years
from now there will not be Grand
Army man living. Seventy-fve years
from now a grateful Republic will still
be reimbursing widows for what their
husbands suffered at Gettysburg and
Chickamauga. Women are yet to be
born who will become widows of old
soldiers and draw pensions for their
husbands services in the war Of 1865.
There are to-day over 1000 widows
on the pension rolls. The pensioners
number 10000. These figures will be
reversed in twenty years. Ninety-eight
Thousand widows draw $12 a month.
Last year the civil war pensioners drew
$71, S77, GIG. The civil war widows drew

Titles Recently Given to High Peaks In
New Guinea.
There has been so much slaughter In
recent African explorations that nobody
has cared to bestow much attention
upon the geographical snobbery which
has accompanied them. Amid all the
butcheries, torturings, doggings and
cannibalisms which cur pioneers OF com
1nerce and Christianity have perpetrated
or permitted or winked at, it seems a
small matter that they should have
chosen to call all the rivers, lakes,
mountains and waterfalls which they
met by the names of British royalties or
nobodies. But in New Guinea, where
there has been little crime, critics are
free to give their minds to the comic
ASPECT of the explorations. "a gentle
manof the name Of MacGregor-sir W..
MacGregor-I find, has been over there
making perfect burlesque OF the local
nomenclature, says Henri Labonchere,
.sHere is an abridged list of the mount
aims very fine mountains, | am given
to understand, before they were re-
christened). The names, it is only fair
to say, are not all the MacVfegor $.
Here and there he mentions peak
which had suffered at the hands Of q
previous AIRY"
But here is the list: The Owen Stan
ley range, Mount Victoria, Huxley's
Pinnacle, Mount Musgrave, Mount
Knutsford, Mount Henry Forbes, Mount
Albert Edward, Mounts Scratchley,
Gillies, Cameron, Douglas, Forbes,
Parker and Jack Tanna. Some Of these
mountains are over eleven thousand
feet high. Is not that rather big for
the gentlemen whose names are tackled
on TO them? s'Who tied Dolabella to
that swcrd?'' Will not posterity a few
hundred years hence be asking some
such impertinent question with regard
to Messrs. Huxley and Henry Forbes?

AN AZTEC SACRIFICE.
Specimen Scene in Mexico In the Days OF
the MOntezumas. s5a35

Specimen Scene in Mexico In the Days OF
the MOntezumas.
Fifty-two years constituted the Az1ec
cycle, says the Detroit Free Press. 10
, this cycle was added a complement Of
thirteen days, intended to make the
solar and civil years agree. 1t was be-
lieved that the world would come to an.
end on the last night of cycle, and
that the gods, if merciful, would light
their fires on the distant mountains. Ii
the world did not come to an end the
Aztecs congratulated themselves that 1t
would survive another cycle, and the
thirteen complementary days were
PASSED with feasts, sacrifices and bac-
chanals.
In the temple of Huitzilipochtli there
was to be gladiatorial combat which
was nothing less than a sacrifice Ihe
six ministers Of the ceremony were at
hand Topiltzin, the chief among them,
clad in crimson vestment, with a
crown of vari-colored feathers, was per-
forming the duties that preceded sac
rifce to the god, and the others, with
white robes bordered with black, their
faces hideous with sonber pigment and
mouths painted white, assisted him. "A
crowd filled the stone walls Of the tenn
pie to witness the spectacle, srrg1ng
with impotence about the teualcatl TOR
round stone platform, eight feet h1ghl
where the combat was to take place.
The victim, a prisoner of war, is
brought in. Armed with only short
spear and shield, he is placed upon the
ternalcatl, tied by one foot and con-
fronted by an Aztec warrior, fully
armed. The fat nostrils of the victim
are distended, his black eyes burn with
desperation; his coarse, black hair
straggles about his face, and his thick
purple lips culver as he views the we'll
armed soldier before him.
AT word they fall to the fray. The
spears clash, and they fight like de-
rnons--the victim with the desperation
of certain death, the soldier to uphold
! his valor among his comrades.
Suddenly, realizing how unequal the
contest, and that his fate is sealed,
whatever the outcome of that battle
the prisoner throws away his shield
and spear, and presents his breast to.
the soldiers weapon. A pause, e.
blow, and the victim falls heavily to the;
| stone
In trice the priests, with frenzied
shouts, and hair streaming about their
delnoniacal faces, are upon the temal~
| catl, and have borne the dying man to %
block of green jasper, on whose convex
surface they throw him. This is the
sacrificial stone. and Topiltzin, who now
takes the name of the god to whom he
sacrifices, opens the breast Of his vic
tim. tears out his heart and offers it,
! still palpitating, to the sun.
Then the bleeding trophy is placed in:
the hollow mouth of the idol of HUT.
zili pochti, and the lips of the statue
daubed with blood. The dead man is
decapitated and his head deposited in
the Tzompatli, an ossuary where the
skulls of sacrificed prisoners of war are
set into the walls; the soldier claims the
body for his own, and bears it away for
the delectation of himself and his an
thropophagical comrades.
The Aztec annals that come down to
us are glutted with scenes like this.

Tbs Wonderful Effect of Kindness on
Humanity.
1t is undoubtedly true that occasion
ally lone touch of nature makes the
whole world kim" The New York
World gives an instance that illustrates
the truth of the old proverb. A news
boy took the Sixth avenue elevated cars
at Park place, and, sliding into one Of
the cross seats, fell asleep. At Grand
street two young women entered the
car, and took the seats opposite the lad.
The boys feet were bare, and his hat
had fallen off. Presently the younger
girl leaned over and placed her muf
under the little fellows dirty cheek.
An old gentleman in the TEXT seat who
had seen the kind act smiled, and, with
out saying any thing, held out a quar-
ter, with a nod toward the boy.
The girl understood what he meant,
hesitated a. moment, blushed little
and then reached for it.
The next man, who had seen the act
and enjoyed it, just as silently offered
the girl dime, to be used for the same
purpose, A moment later woman
across C!1e alSle nelu Oub SoAue peAnIeS,
and before she knew it, the girl, with
flaming cheeks, was offered money
from every passenger in that end of the
car, each smiling and enjoying the little
episode.
The young girl quietly slid the amount
into the sleeping boys pocket, removed
her nluH gently from under his head
without arousing him, and soon after
rose to leave the car at Twenty third
street. AS she did this, she included
all the passengers in a pretty little in
clination of the head, that seemed full
of thanks, and the possession Of com
mon secret. 1t was very pretty little
incident and will not soon be forgotten
by those who saw it.

Americans who leave the beaten track

Of questions about the United States,
and often a most lanentable ignor-
ance is displayed by the Germans abont
the distant country. A case in point is
related by New Yorl 1er who spent
some time one summer in village in
Hanover, at some distance from rail-
road. He was visiting a physician
whom he had met at Berlin IN the uni
versity days of both of them.
One afternoon the physician, accom-
panied by his friend, drove to farm
house to visit a sick child. When he
alighted the American remained In the

left the house, and ran to make inquiry
about her son, who had been in Amer

received no word from him Or about
him for several years. She thought, of
course, that every one in America knew
every one else there. The foreigner
had much difficulty in explaining that
he had never heard of hex Qn, who was

believed that the New Yorker was an
