CORNs AND PENSIONS.

There Is good deal of talk about PEN
sion abuses, and the story of one case is
going the rounds as particularly striking
example of the way the generosity of the
country has been imposed upon. 1t is
said that pension of six dollars Q month
has been granted to a man whose disability
consisted of two small oorns, one on the
great toe of each foot.
he laughs at scars who never felt a
wound, and he who never had corn can
also laugh at government which pensions
a man who has one or two. But many
people are walking about with their
minds ON their corns who will
think when they read that an old
soldier has been pensioned on account of
two corns that he has got no more than is
his due. They will argue that man
might suffsr much less pain from bullet
wound than he might from a corn which
was always In the way and always
giving notice Of a change in the weather.
They will not see anything ridiculous in
the action of the Pension Office, and they
will feel that any old veteran who has two
corns is entitled to the sympathy of
grateful nation.
If the opponents of the pension system
want to bring it into discredit they must
get up some other story than this corn
story. Too many people have oorns and
too many people know how sharp a woe
they make. Instead of such story hay
ing tendency to decrease the sum paid
for pensions 1t will tend to increase it.
This is a government of the people and If
the question is sufficiently agitated the
people may not only directly vote that old
soldiers who have corns are entitled to
pensions, but that sll who have them are
entitled to whatever solace pension may
be able to give.
Morning journal and courier., 1893-05-31
ALEsSON FROM CANADA,

Many people are expecting that when the
government of this country runs the rail
roads of the country there will be great
change for the better. But the expert
ence of some other countries doesn't give
much encouragement to such expectation.
For instance, in Canada 1t has been dis
covered that government ownership of
railroads isn't all that Is needed. Canada
has gone into the railroad business on a
big ecale. With a population of lisa, 900
che has given the railroads, in one form
and another, about s195 900, 900, more
than $40 per head, and go, 600, 900 acres of
land beside. 1t has proved a very poor
investment. The government roads do
not pay operating expenses, much less
yield return on the capital sunk in
them. The operating expenses of the
Intercolonisl, for example, exceeded
it's receipts in 1s90-91 by $500, 900. But
the precedent of government owner
ship and subsidies encs established, of
course demands were made all over the
Dominion for public aid to private local
lines. The requested aid has been ex-
tended in great abundance, usually with the
object of bribirg local constituencies to
support the party in power. Roads have
been built in this way where there was no
real need for them and where private cap
ital would never have undertaken to build
them. The last official report shows that
on no less than twenty of these roads oper-
ating expenses exceed receipts, and some
of the others have been abandoned
altogether. Wherever it was possible the
proftless roads have been, when built, un-
loaded on English investors, until Canada
now owes the British capitalists about
$3.50, 100000. The failure to get proper re
turns on this investment has now stopped
the stream from that source. and as the
government aid plan has dulled private
enterprise it looks as If railroad building
in Canada would have to stop for a while.
Would government ownership of railroads
in this country be likely to work any bet
ter than 1t has worked in Canada, or even
as wella Politics and "the people" here
would have to have hand in everything
that was done, and there would be come
high old railroad echemes.

Rock OF Ages.

Rock Of Ages cleft for me-"
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung;
Fell the words uuconsciously
From her girlish, gleeful tongue.
Sung as little children sing
Sung as sing the birds in June,
Fell the words like light leaves sown,
On the current OF the tune
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Felt her soul no need to hide
Sweet the song as song could be-
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedipgly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not that each might be
On some other lips prayer
Crock Of Ages, cleft for me-"
''Rock Of Ages, cleft for me-
Twas woman sung them now,
Pleading Rly and prayerfuliy,
Every word her heart did know.
Rose the cong, as storm-tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air;
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable prayer
'Rock OF Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself In Thee"
Crock OF Ages, cleft for me-"
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly aud tenderly,
''Let me hide myself In Thee
Trembling though the voice, and low,
Rose the sweet strain peacefully
AS the river in its flow;
Sung as only they can sing
Who lies thorny paths have pressed,
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest.
''Rock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Sung above q coffin-lid;
Underneath, all restfully,
All life's care and sorrow hid.
Nevermore, o storm tossed soul,
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore from bIllows' roll
Witt thou need tbyself to hide.
Could the siyhtless, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair;
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again Ia pleading prayer,
Still, aye, still the words would be
Let me hide myself in Thee"

SAYS O correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times Star: cell Richard, young physi-
clan of Rochelle, France, made the first
machine after which our modern bicycle is
patterned. He was a medical student in
Paris in 1866, and became one of the great
physicians of France. He died at the age
of sixty one at Rochelle in 1706, and there
is street In Rochelle named for him, and
there is now a movement on foot to erect
q bronze statue, not to Michsud, who 1t Ia
claimed was the discoverer of the bicycle,
but to the true discoverer, DIR. ELI Rich

Some facts In q report recently issued by
the Minister of Commerce In France indi
cate that centenarians are by no means
great curiosities In that country. At thu
period when these statistics were collected
there were, It seems, eighty persons who's,
ages ranged from 100 to 11s years. Forty
two of these veterans had seen their hun
dredth birthday, fifteen their hundred ans
hrst, seven their hundrsd and second, 81,
their hundred and third, Eve thsir hundret
and fourth, three their hundred and fifth
one bis hundred and twelfth, and one hi
hundred and sixteenth. Tho man VIII
had reached the wonderful age of hun
drsd and sixteen years was Frenehmal
named Rimes, q resident of the town o
Tarbes. His baptismal certificate has bee
examined, and removes all doubt as to th
truth of his claim. Among the wome
who have reached Q century was one VIII
only last year applied for, and obtained,
divorce from her husband, who was fe'
