Effect of the Interstate Law.

A granger riding in the cars stuck his
head out of the window. Better put
your head in" said the conductor. The
granger obeyed, and then turned to the
man behind him and said, why can't l
put my head OUT" ''You might knock
some Of the telegraph poles down." was
the answer. ooh, that's it. Well, If
they're so mighty 'fraid of few old
poles, I'll keep my head in. That's the
way on the railroads since that new law
went into effect. New York World.

A Philosophical Family

Amelia has pimples, and sores in the head
From humors Internal her nose has grown
red;
she's n boil on her neck that is big as bell
But in other respects she is doing quite well
And pa has dyspepsia, malaria and govt,
His hands with salt-rheum are all broken
out;
He Is prone TO rheumatics that make his
legs swell.
But in other respects he is doing quite well
And ma has night-sweats and a troublesome
cough,
That all Of our doctors can't seem TO drive of
She wakes every night and coughs quite a
spell,
But in other respects she is doing quite well
There is nothing like philosophy to
help one bear the Ills Of life, but i'm the
case Of this family what is most needed
is a good supply Of DIR. Pierces Golden

INTERESTING YACHT RACES.
Navahoe and Britannia to Compete on We'd
nesday.
Cup Defenders' Trial ON Friday-Wha,
il Going on I'm Base Ball-Gen-
eral Sporting News.

The next ten days will be interesting
ones in yachting circles. First is the Nava-
hoe and Britannia match for the Victoria
gold cup, which commences tomorrow at
Ryde. From all parts Of the British Isles
people are fiocking to Southsea, Ryde and
other coigns Of vantage from which a
good view Of the race can be seen. The
hotels are full. SO are the lodging houses,
and many have to put up with mattresses
on the floor. Even the bathing machines
on the beach have been utilized as sleeping
apartments. The Navahoe's people seem
very confident that her alterations will put
her on an equality with the Prince of Wales
cutter The only thing done to the Britain
mia seems to have been the replacing Of the
hollow main boom by a solid one. This
may be an improvement in very strong
winds. Still there Is the extra weight to
carry, which may alter the trim of the
boat for the worse.
Next in order will be the cup defend
ers' trials, which commence on the 7th in
slant In this country. 1t IL thought a bare
possibility that Pilgrim will be an absentee.
Her owners, however. say they intend to
have her ready in time. The odds are
slightly in favor Of Vigilant, with Jubilee
for second place.

Commissioner LOchren Issues a Cir
cular Dealing With the Matter of
Rates.
An order relative to pensions was issued
by Pension Commissioner Lochren yester-
day afternoon saying: 1.-THE circular of
June IL. 1893, in respect to rating cases Tn
der the act Of June q, 1890. is withdrawn.
Hereafter in aff1xing rates under this act
the medical referee or the medical officer
IN the board Of revision shall weigh each
disability and determine the degree that
each disability or the combined disabilities
disable the claimant from earning a support
by manual labor and a rate corresponding
to this degree shall be allowed In cases in
which the pensioner has reached the age of
Is his rate shall not be disturbed IL he ts
receiving the maximum and IL he is not
pensioner he shall receive the maximum
FOR senility alone II there are no special
pensionable disabilities shown"
AS to the reason of this order Commits
sioner OF Pensions Lochren said:
1T Is impossible to make schedule rat
ings In all cases. A soldier may have half
a dozen disabilities. no one Of which might
be pensionable, but taken all together would
render him unable to perform manual labor
and would therefore render him disabled
In pensionable degree"

says that the display Of the placard was
unauthorized by Lieut.. Yates and himself,
and furthermore no person connected with
