Pension Report.

Secretary Of the Interior Hoke Smith, in his
annual report, says the entire number OF PEN
sioners upon the rolls June 80, 1894, was
969,5I4. The total amount expended fol-
pensions during the fiscal year was $780,.
s0., i6i.05, leaving a balance from the appro-
prutlon OF s25, ,205, ,7l2.G5. The estimate for
the fiscal year 1895 Is $4,000, 900, The
number OF pensioners added to the roll dur.
ing the year was 39,0S5, while the total mum.
Der dropped was 1891.
The greater number Of the pension cases
now pending in tho bureaus the secretary
says. are old cases. Many ofthem have been
pending for years, and had been examined
one or more times prior 10 the present ad-
ministration. Upon examination it had been
found In many instances that proof was not
sufficient to sustain pension. The attention
OF the applicants having been called to the
defect. In some cases efforts had been made
to supply the needed testimony.
The great discrepancy between the number
Of cases now being allowed and the number
allowed two or moro years ago grows our Of
the fact that the pending cases constitute O
remnant OF an immense number OF claims OF
which those well established have been
adjusted.

AN AoLIAN HARP.
Directions for Making ono with TeIe-
phone Attachment.


There are many Of our young read
ers who have heard The sweet tones Of
an Holian-harp, but when they attempt
to make one they find the principal
difficulty seems TO be that the noise Of
the wind deadens the music OF the
harp. There is a solution Of this prob
lem. Below we give a draught Of an
eolian-harp. The sounding is con-
structed of the best-seasoned pine one
eighth of an inch thick. and free from
knots and checks. The top and bottom
measure 21x6 inches, the sides 2x2394
inches, the ends 2x6 inches. In the
center of the upper board saw out a
circle 2 inches in diameter. This
opening allows the vibrations, or
sound-waves. to escape from the box.l
Nov take two pieces Of pine, each
measuring 52lx2x1xM inch. shape it
50 that one side win be perpendicular
and two sides horizontal. and one side
an angle (see draught interior of head
and tall These form the braces at
each end Of the sound-box to resist
the strain of the strings, and are
placed at the extreme ends of the box
on the inside. When putting the box
together fasten the top on last. Every
contact surface should receive liberal
coat of glue. and small brads driven
home when the glue is in liquid state
insure the box being air-tight, except
the two-inch hole. Two bridges, tri-
angular in shape, inches in length,
and half an inch on each side of the
triangle, are fastened half an inch
from the tail and ~ inches from the
head. Four notches are cut in each to
receive the strings. In the head are
placed four screws, each screw being
II inches long, in the tail end are four
strong wire nails always use a round
surface nail, to prevent the cutting of
the strings Procure a spool of
mandolin-wire strings, and a bass
string of banjo silk body.
Loop them on the wire nails at the
tail. and wind the other end around
the screws; first passing it through the
slot OF the s;rew by taking a single
hitch around the standing part of the
wire insures its not slipping Three
legs on the harp are preferable, as it
may stand on an uneven surface. Give
