Secretary Bayard was asked yester-
day how be regarded the suggestions
that Congress provide for the pnblica-
ton Of the names 81 pensioners Id
every city and county. either in the
newspapers or at the Court houses.
In reply Mr.. Bayard said The
widest publicity should be given to
the pension rolls, and this / unayaiI-
ingly suggested ten years ago in the
Senate. The name of each person re-
ceiying money from fhe Treasury
should be Of open public record.
.'The Blue Book processes to do this
as to all officials, civil. naval and milf
tary, and there is no reason why the
pension rolls should not be open To

'.No doubt Congress viii soon re-
move the all.secrecy Of methods in

causes for such allowances and the
amounts to become publicly known.
in order that the lists may Ne purged

A Careless Authcr.

Anthony Tro1lope was singularly unkempt and his clothes were very wrinkled and ill made. He was the only man I had heard swear in de cent society for uncounted years. The swearing, which was repeated, was the most disagreeable of all-the actual asseverating by the hohest name of some trumpery statement. Then, by way of making himself pleasant in a gathering of Scotsmen, he proceeded (the ladies being gone and we all gathered to hear him) to vilipend our beloved Sir Walter. Mir. Trollope said that if any of SIr Wal ter's novels were offered to any Lon don publisher of the present day it would be at once rejected.-'Twen- ty-five Years of St. Andrews"

Pearls Are PerishnbIe.

Pearls are very perishable. They cannot be considered first rate in. vestment, like diamonds. After a time they decay. Sometimes fine specimen will lose its luster and beauty within a few months, so that the possessor of such treasures does well to keep them put away in a sealed place. They are very deli cately made, consisting of thin films overlaid one upon another, with more or less animal matter between the layers, and it is no wonder that they deteriorate.
 After being buried in the ground for awhile they are found worthless. Those which are dug out of Indian graves-some of them of great size and doubtless of wonderful beauty when they were new-are utterly valueless, even when they are not pierced. Nevertheless, there is a pure and evanescent beauty about them which seems better to become the maiden than any other sort of jewel. City Times.

THE SEALS, CRYSTAL PALACE.
Twenty Thousand Dollars Worth of Seal skins in Sight, but Out of Reach.

Twenty Thousand Dollars Worth of Seal
 skins i'm Sight. but Out of Reach.
 Once 1t happened that one of the polar icebergs was so ingeniously shaped by the warm waves that, when it snapped in the middle and fell over on its side, one portion of it rose with the honeycombed part toward the water, thus making the iceberg an ice palace filled with many crystal grotto which, rising story upon story, stage upon stage, con verted the translucent mountain into a floating crystal palace with trans parent walls.
 It would have been a pity if such a gorgeous palace had passed away, with never an inhabitant to profit by it's existence, and so it was fortunate that it was discovered by a troop of seals migrating southwand. The seals might just as well have swarmed over the outside of the ice berg, as they had often done in pre- vious cases; but possibly they recog- nized the advantages of having a roof over their heads and copse- quently dived down and came up in side of the crystal palace. Anyhow, whatever their reasons, that is what they did.
 By hundreds and by thousands they clambered up the irregular in- ner walls, occupying the grottoes and lodges till the palace was crowd ed to it's full capacity with the noisy. active creatures.
 They might easily have been un- comfortable in their splendid palace had not accident come to their relief. The warm air from their bodies and their warm breath rose to the top of the iceberg and fortunately found thin spots in the roof and melted holes, so that places of escape for the bad air were made.
 Of course, this air being warm, no sooner reached the colder atmosphere outside than it condensed like steam and rose a white column above the palace, looking very much like smoke.
 Indeed, a sailing vessel passing that way thought it was smoke, and the captain changed his course to go nearer the iceberg, hoping to save the lives of some shipwrecked sail ors. who, he supposed, had built a fire on the berg.
 Fancy your own astonishment at coming upon crystal palace in mid ocean inhabited by thousands of seals, and you may then understand how the captain and his crew felt when, looking through the clear walls of the stately structure, they saw the countless animals in conscious secur- ity playing or sleeping in the fairy like chambers.
 The captain bewailed his lot that there were s20, 900 worth of sealskins in sight, but out of reach.
 It was disappointing for the cap tain, but it was tolerably comfortable for the seals, who take more interest in sealskins when they wear them than when human beings make coats of them.-John R. Coryell in St. Nicholas

A Poor Judxs of Tobacco

Khedive Tewfik, oddly enough fol an oriental, did not smoke, with the result that the palace cigarettes-in- variably handed around with coffee were notoriously the worst in Cairo, and except in the case of absolute strangers it was ludicrous to see how tobacco was avoided in his. pres ence. He always carried cigarette case, however, and delighted in offer ing it and little presents of money to the English sentries placed on guard around his palace when first Cairo was occupied by British troops.-Black- woods Magazine.

A Young Convert.

At one of our churches last night the good brethren were giving ''tes- timony," and of course telling how long they had been in the right way, when a handsome young fellow of perhaps twenty years arose, and with much earnestness shouted:
 T am only fifteen months old"-
 The mischievous eyes of the young ladies around the room began to twinkle and there was no disposition to hear the brother finish the sen tence.-Columbus QO.) Post.
