be carried bravely forward.
Taken all in all this has been an
eminently successful session. Many
new fea lures have been added to the
various departments, the require

more flexible, and the whole work of
the College has been put into ex-

Pension
Harpers Weekly.

No man acquainted with his subject
will deny that the pension attorneys have
been the most powerful agency in pro-
curing eXtravagant and vicious pension
legislation, a lax construction of the law,
and a loose administration of it in the
pension office, not to speak of the many
thousands of cases in which they seduced
people who otherwise would never have
thought Of it to apply for pensions,
whether they were entitled to them or
not. The pension attorney should be
abolished. The pension attorneys bus
mess should be done by the clerical force
Of the pension office itself. If necessary
a special division should be established
to answer all inquiries, to give whatever
information is asked for, to aid the claim.
ant in making his application and in get.
ting up his documents for proof, in short,
to do without charge all the things now
done by the attorneY-except the crooked
ones. This can be done and should have
been done long ago. 1t will give the
claimant every reasonable facility, and
be a great economy to him as well as to
the government. The attorney may then
be dispensed with, and can properly be
excluded from practice before the pen
sion bureau. Thus the most powerful
agency of evil will be put out Of business.
The second measure is the publication of
the names of the pensioner, together with
the nature of the disability for which
they are pensiOned, and the amount Of
the pension paid to them, in the locali-
ties in which the pensions are drawn, the
lists to be exhibited in some public place
such as the ~post-office. Nothing will be
more effective in lettering false claim
ants and in bringing fraudulent pen
sioners to light than to put them under
the surveillance of their n%eighbors. 1t
will do better service to the administra-
ton than hundreds of special agents.
These measures will require some out
lay Of money, nc doubt; but while the
cost will count by thousands, the saving
will count by millions. This policy will
be fiercely resisted by the pension attor-
neys, as we'll as by all those who draw
p~enions on false p]retences, and the adj
ministration will be wildly denounced
for adopting it. But it may be sure that
the public opinion of the country will be
on it's side, and the more fearlessly it
proceeds on this line, the heartier and
more general will be the popular ap-
DrOval.

Strange Judgments.
lHarper's Bazaar.

Chief among the curiosities of litera-
ture must be accounted the strange iudg.
ments of men who would be supposed to
have an appreciation of what is best,
upon the works of others. 1t was no less
a person than Goldsmith who observed
of the poems of Milton, that "they betray
a narrowness of education and a degen-
eracY of habit )" adding to this extraor-
binary dictum the still more audacious
assertion that "there is no force in his
~reasonings, no eloquence in his style, and
no taste in his composition" Waller, an
ant-hill poet compared to the soaring
loftiness of Milton, yet presumably a man
who could reason, said of Paradise Lost,
that if its length be not considered as
merit, it has no other. Hume deemed
Shakespeare "a disprOportioned, miss.
hapen giant :" while George the Third,
who ought to have known better, and
yet, all things considered, could hardly
have been expected to think otherwise,
sapiently asked, "Was there ever such
stuff as the greater part of Shakespeare ?"

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder Has all the Hon.
ors-In strength and Value go
per cent. shove Its Near
est Competitor.


The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record Of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined-wherever
exhibited in competition with others.
The result at the Chicago Worlds
Fair is no exception. In the exhibi-
tions Of former years, at the Centen-
nial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various state and industrial fairs,
where it has been exhibited, judges
have invariably awarded the Royal
Baking Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were directed by the chief
chemist of the agricultural department
at Washington. The chief chemist $
official report of the tests of the bak-
ing powders, which was made for the
specific purpose of ascertaining which
was the best, shows the leavening
strength of the Royal to be 100 cubic
inches of carbonic gas per ounce
Of powder. Of the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited, the next
| highest In strength tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average of
Ill. The Royal, therefore, was found
of 20 per cent. greater leavening
strength than its nearest competitor,
and Al per cent above the average of
all the other tests. Its superiority in
other respects, however, in the quality
of the food it makes as to ineness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known
and appreciated by the women of the
country for so many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex-
coed the sale of all other baking pow
ders combined.
