Pension Commissioner Lochren,
in letter to the National Tribune,
declares that no worthy pensioners
will suffer from the weeding-out pro-
cess now going on i'll his department.
Only the unworthy ones will be
thrown overheard. Many fraudulent
pension cases are coming to light
One is that of Deputy Pension Com
missioner Henry c. Bell, who has
been drawing S12 month for ''loss of
teeth, indigestion and heart disease"
alleged to be the result of his military
service. Another is that of a man
who owns three good farms and does
| as heavy a days work as any man
of his age in the cohtry, yet he is
drawing $12 month from the govern
ment on the theory that he is incom-
petent to perform manual labor.

4 Cat That Put Out a Fire.

Some of our friends have a cat
which they esteem very highly.
On a cold winter day Mr.. and Mrs.
3. went to church. some five miles
away, and left the house in the pos
session of the cat, Tom, who upon
their return home rushed out and
buried his paws in the cold snow
Wanting to find out the meaning
of this behavior on Toms part, they
examined his paws and found them
blistered and burned. They walked
into the house and found to their
surprise that the carpet around the
CRATE was burned, but the fire had
been extinguished. They now took
in the situation. a coal had fallen
out of the CRATE and set the carpet
ablaze, which had been extinguished
by Tom, who had burned his paws III
the effort he made.-Cor. New York
Recorder

NARCOTIC Erect. of a California Spring.

Superintendent Stout recently de
scribed a wonderful mineral spring
that formerly flowed from the noun
tain side some miles above the Butte
Creek House and near the PlumaS
county line.
This spring was first called to Mr..
Stout's attention some years ago
while cam ping in that vicinity by an
old prospector, who called it the
''chloroform spring" The water
which flowed from it did not differ
in appearance or taste from the wa
ter of other springs, except that it
was slight brackish. 1t was the eff
feet that followed the drinking of its
waters that was remarkable. A small
cupwould il the course of half an hour
render the drinker totally insensible,
and he would remain for hours as if
dead But few white men had ever
tried the experiment of drinking
from it, but those who have done so
describe the effect as not unlike that
resulting from heavy narcotic.
To the Indians this spring has been
known for generations. They call it
the heap sleep spring, and it Is
said that more than one weary red
man has entered the happy hunting
grounds through the medium of its
waters. -Oroville Mercury.

Gratis. One gentleman, personal
friend, says: secretary Carlisle be-
lieves that Wall street bankers have
had entirely too much to say in the
conduct of the financial department
of the government in the past, and
that they are largely responsible for
the present situation. Consequently
he has no idea of taking them into
his confidence as to what he intends
doing. He proposes giving them
needed lesson by showing them that
all the financial ability is not congre-
gated in Wall street, and that they
cannot dictate the country's financial
programme The firmness of Secre-
tary Carlisle against an issue of
bonds has already brought about a
better condition of affairs, and it is
believed that if those who wish to
compel an issue of bonds become
convinced that none will be issued
the demand for gold for foreign ship
ment will soon resume its normal
condition. The outlook is now con-
sidered much better than 1t was at
the beginning of last week.

Cnnrtenus Bandits of China.

The robbers of China are banded
together and form powerful COM
pact. If a bank in the city wishes to
send large amount of money to Pc
king. the banker sends a gift to the
chief of the banditti infesting the ter
ritory through which the money Is
about to pass, telling him the time
the silver will be sent and requesting
that it be not disturbed. When such
a request is made, accompanied by a
handsome present, it 10 usually hon
ored. These banditti are not the
only robbers. The government is en-
gagged in the same business. Taxes
are very high, and every time one
comes in contact with the rulers il
costs something. - Cor. Louisvill,
Courier-J Journal.

ACCORDING to special report in
preparation at the United states
treasury, the public debt of Hawaii.
as given March 81. 1892. was 81. PHI
16l. while the revenues OF the little
kingdom for two years ending on
the same date. were 81. 254, 3lg. and
the expenditures $4.095.S91. The
population for 1890 i estimated at
9O,l6O. Of which $4,000 are natives
and half castles. 25.OOO are Chinese
and japanese, and the remainder is
divided mp among Portuguese, Amer
leans and other Caucasian races.
The assessed property value of the
islands in 1890 was 500, 239, $40.
During 1891 the total value OF Ha-
waiian exports of merchandise was
SO, lO7,316 of which amount there
was exported to the United States
$S,O75, SS2. The great increase OF
commerce between the islands and
the United States began at the date
of the reciprocity treaty, which went
into effect in 1876. In the year 1891
the value of exports from the United
States to Hawaii reached very nearly
$1,000, 900, while our imports re-
ceived from those islands amounted
to nearly $14,O0O,0 900. The great
bulk of trade is with the United
States. To show the comparison OF
the trade of the islands with the
United States and the other coun-
tries it is only necessary 10 state
that during the four years OF 1855
1891 the exports of merchandise OF
the islands to the United States
amounted to SIS, 547,1S3 while ex.
ports to all other countries amounted
to the small sum of S24.942.

As two young women were cross
ing Washington street, near the Adj
ans House, the other day one trlpped
and fell on her knees. She held in
her hands several small bundles, and
in the fall they We're all preserved
save one. That IA bag contained
chocolates and caramels, and the bag
becoming undone its sweet contents
mixed themselves with the slush and
mud of the street.
The young woman didn't mind her
mire bespread skirt, but cast unge-
NAL, wistful glances at the lost
sweets. She was undecided Would
she pick up her fallen treasures, res
cue them from the embrace of the
unclean, mushy snow2 Delay was
fatal, for the bell of an oncomElg
electric warned her from the track.
Her face was a study as she moved
away. Her companions mien was
mpathetic-neither childlike nor
bland-Boston Globe.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and Secre-
tary Gresham have been inVestigat-
ing the working of the much-talked-
about reciprocity treaties made un-
der the authority of the Mckinley
tariff law. and it looks now as if they
were one and all failures. and that
they will have to 90. Those with
Brazil. and with Spain for Cuba and
Porto Rico will probably be the first
to be abolished. as there have been
numerous complaints about the man
ner in which the customs officials Of
those countries have violated the
treaties. Tables prepared at the
state department show that the whole
system has been failure, and that
instead of increasing the market for
American products there has been, in
several countries, a marked falling
off in our trade since the treaties
went into effect. The president be
lieves that conciliatory policy to-
wards our neighbors will result in
much greater commercial benefit to
Us than the policy of reciprocity by
coercion when was practiced by the
Harrison administration.

Something About Canary Birds.

Whenever / buy 4 canary 1T seems
to be bird that is especially subject
to colds and pneumonia, and it is
only by the exercise of the greatest
care that l can keep it from sue
cumbing to some pulmonary trouble.
Yet the canary bird sellers have
their wares for sale in the streets in
the coolest weather almost entirely
unprotected from the wind. They
stand around with them for hours
and no bad result seems to come of it.
How is it,
1 give it up There must be some
conspiracy between the dealers and
the birds by which the latter die az
soon as they are bought, compelling
the purchasers to invest in more ca
naries. You wouldn't think to look
at the little yellow fellows that they
were capable of so much treachery.
Dealers bring them over from Eu-
rope with very few precautions
against disease or accident If /
leave one of my canaries alone for 10
minutes at n time, however, he swal-
lows a piece of rag and chokes to
death, or the cat gets him. l sup
pose the whole secret of the thing
consists in knowing what you're
about. From results l am led to be
heve that the importer and the open
air dealer know what they're about
and that l don't. at least as far as
the canary birds are concerned
