that the old soldiers are scattered over the
entire habitable globe. In our own country
the number of veterans in the West is
noticeably large. The war caused serious
disturbance and disarrangement Of the life
plans Of many of the young men who en-
tered the service. They gave to their coun-
try years Of their early manhood which
otherwise they would have devoted to fit
ting themselves for the professions or other
vocatlops.s Thousands left school for the
tented field and did not resume their
studies. These young men were energetic
and ambitious. and large numbers of them
from the old States turned their faces west
ward after being discharged from the army.
They have borne large part in the marvel
Gus DEVELOPMENT of that great section OF the
country. That they have been character
lied by the highest loyalty of good citizen
ship is abundantly shown by the boundless
prosperity to which they have so greatly
contributed. No better communities can be
found anywhere in the world than those of
the Western States where the old volunteer
soldiers are most numerous.
Taking the pension-roll as an index Ohio
has a larger number of soldiers than any
other State. New York is second and PENN
sylvania third; then, III the order named,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas
and Massachusetts,. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the ratio of pensioners to the
whole number OF soldiers is greater in the
older States. as those who went to seek
their fortunes In the West were the more
robust and healthy men, whe had not been
disabled by the casualties of war; Kansas
has larger percentage of soldiers than any
other. Nine-tenths of them served in the
war from other States Almost every regi-
ment of the Union army from Maine to
Minnesota has its representatives in Kan
sas. In greater or less degree ths same is
true Of Nebraska and all the States of the
great West and Northwest. Not less than
40 600 Union soldiers have found homes in
Texas, where they have shared in the de-
vel0pment of that wonderful State.
Nearly fifty foreign countries are repre-
sented on the pension-r0l, the individuals
who have sought other climes numbering
nearly $500. There are 11oO pensioners in

The outdoor athletes Of the Olympic Club

The boys are growing careless, and this
is all owing to the little interest that is
manifested among the officers to push a pas

Tuggers Who Are Training for the Tour

Preparations for the second international
tug-of-war tournament in April are pro-
crossing admirably.
With the exception of one or two teams
which are not yet fully completed, all the
teams that have entered are at work exer-
cising at their respective quarters.
The struggle on this occasion, ii is thought,
will be confined to the Scotch, Canadian,
German and Irish teams, and if the betting,
which at this early hour is quite spirited, is
any indication of the result the Canadians
will take first money.
The Scotchmen are evidently holdn back,
hoping thereby to entiee the Canadians to
give odds. In this particular they may
suffer disappointment, as one of the leaders

In the time of Mohammed Ghori, who in
1856 was the real founder Of the Mohamme-
dan dominion in India, the quantity of dia-
monds in that country was so great that he
left in his treasury at his death precious
stones to the weight of 400 pounds. These,
il is reported. he obtained exclusively by
plumber. Since the beginning Of the thir-
teenth century these have been scattered. and
at the finding Of the celebrated stone called
'The Great Mogul" diamonds began to CON-
mand high price.

Upper Egypt was the original source of
emeralds; now the finest specimens are
obtained from New Granada, where they
are embedded in limestone. Large em+ralds

great value of those that are perfect In
most instances they are set in connection
with diamonds, and, thus disposed, the
