In the following manner: In the 50

600; in Asia, 100000, and in
Finland, 1850, 900. These figures,
says vsnity Fair, are worthy Of note.
The Russian army in time Of peace
numbers about sa0,eo0 men, which,

VENERABLE PENSIONERS.

rhiitsea Widows Of Rsvelstioaary Heroes
sun Draw Pay fron the Government.
An interesting study on the subject
of longevity is furnished by some Of
our pension lists. The most note
worthy, according to the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, is that part comprising
the survivors of the war of
1912. OF the eighty-six American
soldiers and sailors who took part
in that memorable struggle who were
still in the land OF the living on June
80, 1898, fifteen were centenarians,
namely: David II. Ames, Jerseyville,
Ill; Zephaniah Bacon, Patterns Mills,
N. Y; William s. Dennis, Eatonton,
Ca; Andrew Franklin, Burlington,
Kan, and Anon Root, Whitewater,
Wis, each Of whom was exactly 100
years of age; Hosea Brown, Drain, Ore,
and Niles Scranton, Merrill, N. H.,
were 101; Austin Atchison, Spencer
port, N. Y, and Nathaniel Whitney,
Franklin, Hl, were 102; David Mccoy,
Redland, Col, and Nathaniel Smith,
Hempsted, N. Y, were 1o3; John
Sherer, East Paris, Mich, and John
Dawson, Terre Haute, Ind, were 104;
John w. Ireland, Hamptonville, N. c.,
was los, and John Downey, Allen Fac
tory, Ala, lod.
The list OF widows of revolutionary
soldiers forms another in teresting part
of pension statistics. Although the war
that gave us independence ended over
III years ago, no less thanE13 widows
of the continental forces are still draw
ing . stipend from the government. OF
these the oldest are Lovey Aldrich,
widow of Caleb Aldrich, and Sarah
Dabney, widow Of John @. Dabney,
both of whom were % years odd at the
period of the last rollcal. Mary Snead,
widow of Bowdoin Snead, is the young
est, being only n years of age. 1t
seems almost beyond belief that fe-
male born thirty years after the war
who fought in it. Presuming that
Bowdoin Snesd was Is years of age
when the war was concluded and that
his bride was the same age when they
were married, there must have been q
discrepancy of over fifty years in the
ages of the two.
Nancy" must have been . favorite
name in the old days. No less than
three of the widows answer to it.
MARY" wassthe next in favor, there
being two of that name, and one each
called Lovey, Sarah, Esther, Rebecca,
Patty, Meridy, Asenath and Frances.
Assuming that any one of the women
may live to be . hundred years of age,
it is possible that the United States
government may be paying out pen
sions to the widows of revolutionary
soldiers twenty-five years from now.
For the same reason, widows Of veter-
ans Of the late wsr may be living in

BROKEN UP INTO FACTIONS.

The House Of Commons Q Network Of
Small Parties with Diverse Objects.
Parliamentis no longer in the main
the image Of the whole nation, says the
London Spectator; it is q network Of
petty miniatures of all sorts of fac
tions of the nation, the Irish party, the
Welsh party, the disestablishment
party, the Temperance party, the labor
party, the socialist party, and the anti
vaccination party. The larger inter
ests, moreover, are all growing weaker,
and the smaller interests stronger.
Even the conservatives can hardly hold
together on the traditional lines. They
60 home to dinner while the smaller
groups, full Of the petty enthusiasms
which are engendered of sectional di-
visions, ignore the wants Of the body
for the pleasure Of taking their little
-revenges and enjoying the sense Of
their temporary power. And the
reason of this is, we suppose, that not
only the house of commons, but the ma
tion itself, is more set upon small
things than it used to be and less anx-
ious about its larger and more charac-
teristic life. Not only the house of COM
mons but the nation, is in fragments.
"A plague of microscopes, " as Emersop
said Of Goethe, has fallen upon it. The
habit Of devoting ones self to small
causes has superseded that large sleepy
pride in national integrity which used
to predominate among us. Instead of
being Englishmen any longer, we are
almost all of us becoming devotees of
some small, though it may be excellent,
purpose, the relative insignifcance
Of which we quite forget. We
have become absorbed In bimetal-
lism or monometallism, or in ar
dent opposition to the opium traffic, or
in the Gothenburg system, or in pro-
portional representation, of women's
suffrage, or in recreation classes for
the overworked, or in children's break
fastst All these may be most useful
objects, but we have lost our hold of
the true proportion of things We are
forgetting that the whole signi0aance
of life depends upon the dine proper

OF the rites was the hanging up OF

A QUICKSILVER MINE ON LEGS

Extraordin.ry Centsnts Of . Miners BODY
Revsa2sd In Hospital.
A recent San Francisco dispatch says
DR.. Rixford, of the city and county hos
pital staff, has discovered . mine ID
quicksilver. The mine did not pan out
in any paying quantities, but while II
was being worked it was interesting,
at least to few, although there wae
one who could not see much pleasure
In it. The one was Robert McCloud,
and in about forty places under the
skin the metal was hidden.
McCloud entered the hospital about q
month ago, with his arms and legs and
some parts of his body covered with
tumors about the size of q pigeons egg.
They were red and indolent looking
Jumps, and when the patient was ad'
mitted the physicians started in to
treat the assesses in the usual way
They were curated time and time
again, but to no effect, and the doctors
were puzzled. They tried all sorts OF
remedies, but the abscesses remained
and seemed to thrive in their own
healthy way.
A few days ago DR.. Rixford and DR..
Gassford decided to remove one OF the
obstinate tumors and the patient was
placed on the operating table. The
usual course was pursued by the sur.
geons in taking away the lump, but
when it was opened it was found to
contain quivering mass of quicksilver,
about the size of pea. The surgeons
were more astonished than ever and
they set about opening all the quick.
silver mines on the mans body, and be.
fore they got through they had about
fifty such pieces of the liquid metal.
Every one of the assesses was the
same, with the exception that some
contained more mercury than others.
The patient was put back to bed, and
when he had so far recovered he ex-
planned the reason for the quicksilver
being found under his skin.
He said he was a miner, and for some
time before coming to the hospital he
had been employed around the quick
silver mines about the Moiave desert.
One day while out prospecting he fell
over a cliff and landed in . cactus

him. in many places, and for several
days he was very sore from his wounds.
One Of his companions told him to ap-
ply quicksilver to the places where the
thorns had penetrated and it would re.
lieve the pain. He pulled loose pair
of gloves ON his hands and filed them
up with liquid to see if it would have
the desired effect with the wounds in
his fingers. 1t acted splendidly. and
he made bandages for his arms and
legs and fairly wallowed in q poultice
of quicksilver for day. The soreness
was gone and the miner went back to
work. In a few days the. swe1lings
commenced at every place the .horna
pricked him and where the mercury
had been applied.
The physicians at the hospital are
wondering how the patient escaped
mercurlal poisoning. He suffered no
constitutional disarrangementa and the
action Of the mercury was purely local.
McCloud is in = fair way to recovery,
and he expects to go back to the mines
in few days. ass (. 70

MADNESS AMONG DOCS.

High Bred Pets Moro Subject 60 Il Thaa
Common Ours.
'"Of course you know there sisno con-
nection between the hot weather and
canine Madness" said Washington
veterinarian in speaking to Post man,
the other day. 1.-THE dog days are .
myth, for statistics have shown that
rabies in dogs or any other animal
does not depend on the heat Tor its de-
relopment; but, In TACT, there are more
mad dogs in Paris every winter, ac-
cording to government statistics, than
in the summer. But It Is true, never-
theless, that there have been . great
many mad dogs in Washington lately.
The most Of them are not recognized
assuch. but they ere real rabies never-
theless, and every time now that any
one comes to me to attend dog with
= bone in this throat I start out load
ed to kill mad dog if necessary.
The most people do not know It,
but there are two sorts Of rabies, tho
dumb and the raging. In the latter
there Is no mistaking the disease. The
dog starts out to run 5amuck, and goes
swapping and biting ut everything In
sight till he falls exhausted. But tho
other variety is principally indieatee
by paralysis Of the 1ower jaw. which
makes the animsl go sbout with hin
mouth hanging open as though he had
. hone in his throat The disease does
not seem to make the animal vicious,
but he goes around looking for sympa-
thy, rubbing aAectionately against his
master, and begging to be casessed.
He viii hck the face and hands }o6 his
owners, Il allowed, and the virus is -
easily transmitted in this way -
through . bite, should thesubject OF
the caress have any cut or abrasion Of
the skin thst the poison can reach.
The animal will try TO drink, but can
not, owing TO the paralysis Of the
throat muscles, and tbs madness IN
rarely discovered till In the last stages.
I have had several cases Of this sort
lately among the owners Of hne pet
dogs. but, OF course, when the sniHhal
il killAd the matter Is kept very quiet.
Madness does not seem to be 90 COM
