SUSPENDED PENSIONERS,
Seventy-fve Per Cent. Of Them May
BE Retained on the Rolls.

The annual report OF the Commissioner OF
Pensions states that the Board OF Revision
is now dsposing OF an average OF about 1909
cases per week Of those suspended I'M Ter tho
recent orders OF tho bureau.
At this rate it was estimated that practi.
cally all Of those heretofore suspended would
be disposed OF by October 10. II is also esti
mated that at least seventy-flyc per cent. OF
those suspended will be retained onthc rolls,
though not all OF them Mt their old rates OF
pensions.
Tho estimates for the year 1898 are given
rs follows For pensions. Sl6O ,0OO,O OO; Tor
surgeons fees, $4,000, 900; for salaries OF
pension agents. 1000; for clerk hire at
pension agencies, $4,000 for contingent
expenses, S59,57O Total, 1852, $40.
The Commissioner emu nerates the various
reforms entered upon. the abandonment OF
the completol files system, and the modih
cation OF order 164 Of October 10, 1890, as to
disability pensions, etc. He says on this
latter point
1T Is perfectly clear that under this orleT
16l. in granting pensions under the Act OF
June ~, 1890 the oct itself was set aside AMI
dlsregarded, with ths result Of granting pen
sion not authorized by any law.
Precedence is no longer given TO casrs
underline Act Of June 81, 1890. but claims for
pensions under the prior laws, for disabilities
Of service origin, ar3 now adjudicatei in
their order where the evidence Is complete.
So far from holding back this class OF claims,
the Commissioner thinks they should have
precedence as being older and moro mer-
iiorious.

sUNFLOwER CULTURE.

The value of the sunAower rs n crop
can hardly be oyerestimated. 1t is n
very rapid and vigorous grower, and
every part of the plant can be utilized
tho leaves make excellent fodder, the
seed is valuable for the oil manufac-
tured from it, while tho refuse is good
for food, or the seed can be used as q
feed without extracting the oil. The
oil is excellent rs n lubricating oil, be-
sides its value rs a medicine, while the
refuse as a feed is preferred to cotton
sced-oil cake, which is Objectionable
for its highly stimulating quality. The
whole seed may be used rs feed for
sheep, swine, poultry, cattle, aud oven
horses, and is devoid Of the objections
attached to cotton seed rs n fuel.
The stalks and roots OF the sundower
when dried make excellent fuel, point
of great Importance in those sections
Of the country where fuel is scarce and
therefore very expensive. An acre is
said to furnish ten tons Of air-dried
stalks, one ton Of leaf fodder and one
and one-half quarter tons Of seed
These products would seem to be
amply sufficient to afford a fair profit
for the culture, and, by commencing
in n small way and bringing the pro-
duct into use and therefore demand,
the latter might grow to such an ex-
tent MS to render the cultivation of the
crop n necessity, making it one which
would prove profitable md desirable
upon tie farm.
The sunAower was originallyN ma
tive of America and unknown in Eu-
rope. Once introduced into that
country, however, the demand for it
has steadily increased, and it is said
that in Russin the seeds are sold in the
streets MS peanuts IRE sold here. New

KINDNESS TO THE COW.

That COW will generally do her best
that is loved and petted the most by
those who have her in charge. Ii you
wish COW to do her best you must
cultivate her acquaintance intimately
and be unsparing little acts Of kind
ness. You may whip and torture n
COW into submission, but she will
strike the balance against you in the
milk pail. One of the greatest faults
among dairy farmers to-day is want Of
kindness and consideration to domes-
tic animals. Cows should be petted
daily and be made to feel that man is a
friend and protector All pain, fright
and uneasiness checks the secretion OF
milk, and the man who is passionate
and abusive to his herd never did and
never can realize full yield from it.
ANY one that has charge of animals
should study their character and dis
position. 1t is an interesting study,
and, under the law of kindness, you
will not unfrequently bring out won
derful traits and exhibitions OF affec-
ton, which will show n forethought
and design which may we'll be ranked

Ii Hung Chang, viceroy Of China,

his palace in Tien-Tsin (ninety miles
from the capitaD, where he Is sur

1t is well known that the members
Of the Sunni Yamen, Grand Coun-
Gil OF the Empire), who sat In Pc

al times to get rid of him by means
which would recall those used in the
Middle Ages. But Ii Hung Chang
is too well guarded in Tien-Tsin.
Every attempt has been failure, ana

the only thing to be done was to get
the viceroy 10 come to Peking.

ARE TOYS TOO eooDq
a Suggestion That the Toys ef Our Child
hood Were Better,

Men are, after all, only overgrown
children. Give your little boy money,
and the sweetshop and the toyshOp
will, too probably eclipse the mute
appeal of the missionary box.
And, when the boy grows up, phys
lcally, if his income also grows, he
will spend at sweetshop and tOyshop.
Instead Of acid drops be will purchase
rare wines and order elaborate din
ners; the race game and the clock
work boat will expand the real thor
oughbreds and steam yacht.
Do we really outgrOw the taste for
sweets and toys? Some Of US never
have it; some lose it by Over-indulg-
ence during youth.
But to the temperate person, whose
pocket money has always been limit
ed, are toys and sweets ever wholly
without attractions? He is ashamed
to be seen openly purct a,ing sugared
almonds and chocolate creams, and
looking in vain longing at lead SOL
dierS and clOckwOrk trains; but the
old delight is not dead.
Even a humble tOx Of bricks, that
best of toys, unrollS before his mental
vision a prospect OF houses fortre ses,
harbors, railway stations, geological
gardens, and all the ingenious con-
structiOns Of the Young architect,
half blocks and half "make-believe. )"
When 1 look into the toy-shop win
dows, as l usually do, it seems to me
that children are losing the poetic
imagination that Transformed dingy
play room into fairyland.
Toys are becoming daily more elab-
crate. more realistic; less room is left
for fiction and romance. Lead SOL
diers are no longer fiat simulacra OF
humanity, but big, broad, solid and
expansive. Cavalrymen sit plumply
astride bullying horses; artillery
trains, pontoOn trains, complete In
every detail, replace the improyised
substitutes in which l once reveled.
Yet, can the model 8l-tOn gun give
as much satisfaction to the bOyish
posSessOr as the fortress artillery |
used to contrlye out Of an old brass
cannon, three bricks and the tender

An Ambitious Boat.

A new Canadian invention for use
in the lumber districts is coming into
general use in Northern Ontario. 1t
is called a steam wdrping tug. 1t
propels Itself on land as well as on
water, and is used by lumbermen
whose operations are carried on
among small lakes connected by
streams of uncertain navigation.
The vessel has proved not only a
success. bat a great boon to the lum-
ter trade. Six Of these unique crafts
have been built by the inventors dur
ing the past season, four completed
at their yard in Ottawa, and two
shipped, ready to be pat together at
their destination in the NipisSing
district.
They are built in sCow shape, with
steel-shOd runners for moving over
land; are thirty-seyen feet long, ten
feet beam, decked all over, and have
sleeplng-roOm for four men in the
bow; the bottom and up the bow is
covered with steel boiler plate. An
engine twenty-five morse power 1ur-
nishes steam for ten hours work, with
three quarters Of d cord Of wood.
In the water it moves six miles an
hour forward or backward, as re-
QuirCd, propelled by side wheels.
On land it is propelled by having a
cable drum on which is cOiled five
ciphths Of mile Of steel wire cable,
which is fastened with pulleyS to a
tree or some object in front, the boat
moving as the wire is cOiled up. The
boiler is hung on an axle in the cen.
ter. and a screw arranged on the front
enables the flremen to tip it forward
or back, and keep it level going up or
down hill.
1t will move over an elevation OF
one foot in three on land, and draws
about twenty eight inches in the
water

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

After ten months q rooster is past
his best as table fowl.
It requires about three months for
n hen to get rid of her old feathers
and put on q new dress.
The young trees set out last spring
are not tho only ones which require
attention. The old ones should be
looked after as well.
The locality may have great deal
to 10 in successful fruit growing, but
in the majority OF failures it is not
due to this but to the grower himself.
A good plan of excluding the borer
or grub from the peach tree is to bank
the earth around the tree base n foot
or moro high. 1t is said to be quite
effective.
Budded apple trees will live as long
as root grated ones, if the stocks
upon which they ore worked are as
hardy as the variety of bud used, and
so nearly allied in kind as to form a
perfect union.
Mr.. Hale, the peach specialist, says
that he would prosecute any one who
spread stable manure among his trees
free. They don't want nitrogen. 1t
forces a late growth of wood that can
not resist severe winters.
Experiments conducted under the
auspices of the Delaware Experiment
Station, with view of discovering a
remedy for peach rot, have made plain
that n principal source of infection ex-
lists in tho decayed fruit that is left on
the trees after harvest.
