Ebb Tide in Pensions.

Will the million mark on the roll of
pensioners, after all, be reached? Two
years ago there seemed to be very lit
tie doubt of it. On June 80, 1890,
Their we're 537 OH names on the roll,
A year later they had increased to &c,
100. Another twelve-month brought
them up to S76,O6S. June 80. 1898.
saw them futher augmented TO 9GG, O12.
The prospect. therefore, was that the
round 100000 would be surpassed in
1894. But the annual report just
made by Commissioner Lochren shows
that there was actually dropping off
in the net number during the last ifs
cal year, so that the pension rolls car
ried on June 80 total of only &c., 44
names.
That is the great fact of this years
pension statistics. The tide that for
so many years has been at flood, has
now turned and is actually ebbing
Com missioner Raum also thought that
the maximum would be reached some
where about June 80, 1894, but bis
figures put that maximum at 1,200,-
900, and he believed that an appropri-
alton OF $1SS. OOO,O 900 would have to be
made to meet the additional expendi-
ture.
1t is true that at one former period
highwater mark seemed to have been
reached. That was in 1873. The
number of pensioners was then 23S, 241,
the next, 232. 1O4: while 1878 saw the
number reduced to 223, 1898. That was
a natural result under the operation of
the existing laws. The civil war had
ended thirteen years before, and of
course its survivors were gradually de-
creasing in numbers. In like manner
the disbursements diminished from
$29, 1S5. 2S6 in 1873 to s26,S44,415 in
1879. Then. however, a series of ex-
travagant legislative measures, begin
ming with the Arrears act, carried the
rolls to the prodigious figures of today.
1t is not safe to say that the million
mark in pensioners and the 5000, OOO,-
900 in pensions may not yet be reached.
Should Congress. for example, pass a
bill pensioning every Union soldier
that served in the war, we should see
the figures mounting.
just now there are some facts show
ing that the total will 60 still lower
next year. One of them is that there
were only 40. 14S new claims in 1894,
against more than nine times that
number three years ago, while most of
such new claims are for increases of
existing pensions which will add no
new names to the rolls. Another fact
is that great part of the existing
claims of persons not already on the
rolls, amounting to 287, 209, have al
ready been examined and found defec-
tive in certain particulars, so that it is

these men dead, and this feeling was
generally entertained throughout the
territory. There was too much of the

supposed lost to cause any uneE siness
about them where known, but all the
same measures should be taken that
will have tendency to discourage
attempts at this class of fake notoriety.

them to be false should be punished at

The ape family resembles man in

love liquor. and this love. as is
the case with mankind. often causes
them 10 fall. The natives of central
Africa make fermented beer Of which
the monkeys are very fond, and, by
using it as bait, capture 4 great num-
Der or these animals. The natives go
10 the parts of the forest frequented
by the monkeys. and set on the ground
gourdS full of the enticing LIQUOR. As
soon as = monkey sees and tastes il he
utters loud cries of Joy that soon at
tract his comrades. Then an orgy he
gins. and in short time the beasts
show all degrees OF intoxication. Then
the negroes appear. The drinkers are
too far gone to distrust them. but an
parently take them for large species
OF their own genus. When a negro
takes one by the hand to lead it off
the nearest monkey will cling to the
one who thus finds a support. and en-
deavOr to go off also. Another will
grasp at him, and thus in turn till the
negro leads staggering line of ten or
fifteen tipsy monkeys. When finally
got to the village the MONKEYS are Sc

Water.

"a reason" says physician, why |
often prescribe ono of the mineral waters

in considerable quantities is simply to
give them sufficient water. 1t is an erroI
committed by many otherwise sensible ant
intelligent persons that drinking mucl
water interferes with digestion. One oi
those persons said to me lately, L rarely
drink "a swallow of water a cup of cotlcc
with breakfast, cup of tea or chocolate
with my luncheon and an after dinner cui
of coffee again with my dinner, that is
practically all the liquid take'-this will
an air of conscious rectitude. To begin
with, tea, coffee, chocolate or beer, wint
and the like are not substitutes for water
which is one of the most important of al
substances required for the nourishment OF
the body. Don't drain n half pint glas'
of iced water just as you sit down to eat
that is palpably injurious-but do have
big glass of water that has been boiled anc
cooled brought to you on waking, and 10y

A Successful Life.

Success cannot be measured by fame,
wealth or station, writes Edward w. Box
in The Ladies' Homo Journal. The life
of the humblest woman in the land, II
well lived, is rs successful rs is that OF the
woman who, with greater opportunities,
is enabled to make the results of her works
reach farther Some of us must live for
tho few, as others again must live for tho
many. But both lives are successful.
Each of us in this world influences some
other being, and it is the quality of our
influence. and not the number we inilu-
enoe, which makes our lives successful in
the eyes of God. We may believe that we
go to our graves unknown and unsung,
but not one of us goes out from this world
without leaving an impression either for
the good or the bad. And the kind OF i'm
preston we make while we live and leave
when we die is the difference between sue
cessful and unsuccessful living.
