She Asked Questions.

Mrs. Wade was in one respect a
'tormentersome" woman to live
with, as her husband expressed it.
She had mo imagination" he said,
and "would ask the queerest ques-
tons"
At the supper table Mr.. Wade men
toned tragic circumstance that he
had read that day in the newspaper.
Apassenger on transatlantic steam
er had fallen overheard in midocean
and had never been seen again.
"Was he drowned2" asked Mrs.
Wade.
"Oh, no. OF course not, said Mr..
Wade. But he sprained his ankle,

How the COnfederates Care for Their
Veterans.

1t is not generally known to what
extent the late Conf derates States pen
sion and care for their veterans of the
civil war. All these states either pen
sion or provide homes for their needy
soldiers. Georgia heads the list, hav-
ing paid last year S445, 900 to 400 PEN
siOners; of this SlS5,000 was paid to
5000 veterans and $3.50 600 to 1920
widows. The state has soldiers home
situated on large tract of land built by
private subscription at cost of $40 900,
but it closed for lack of funds. Ala
bama comes next with 955 pensioners,
who received last year Sl33,12432. 1t
has no home. North Carolina has 4 ,474
pensioners, who receive SOB 900 and
has soldiers home with fifty inmates,
costing about $4,000 per annum to
maintain. Virginia has 1850 pension
ers, and pays 500 POS, and a home with
Isl inmates, costing Sl5,220. South
Carolina has 2,249 pensioners who re-
ceive $4,000 aud has no home. Mis-
sissippi has 2 900 pensioners who re-
ceive $62 400, and no soldiers home.
Arkansas has 7S7 pensioners receiving
S3l 375, and a home with twenty in
mates. Florida has 374 pensioners who
receive $37,S41. 1t has home costing
So 900, but not now open. Louisiana
has no pensioners, but has a home with
hfty inmates, costing $4,000 a year.
tennessee has $40 pensioners, receiv-
ing $6l 1875, and los inmates of a home
costing $4,000, which costs 81 500 to
maintain. Texas has no pensioners,
but maintains home with los inmates,
at cost of $57 $50. Maryland and Mis-
souri, each have home with less than
100 inmates, which costs about Sl2, 900
year each. This makes a total of
27,2ll Confederate pensioners and in
mates of homes, and costing 81, l50,936.
War is pretty expensive luxury.

IN GENERAL.
Omission.

might have said a word of cheer
Before | let him go.
His weary visage haunts me yet;
But how could foreknow
The slightest chance would be the last
To me in mercy given?
My utmost yearnings cannot send
That word from earth to heaven.
might have looked the love felt
MY brother had sore need
OF that for which-too shy and proud
He lacked the speech to plead.
But self is near and self is strong,
And was blind that day;
lie sought within my careless eyes
And went, athrst, away.
might have held in closer clasp
The hand he laid in mine;
The pusing warmth of my rich life
Had been as generous wine,
Swelling stream that. even then,
Was ebbing faint and slow.
Mine might have been God knowsD the art
To stay the fatal flow.
oh, word and look and clasp withheld
brother.heart, now stiledl
Dear life forever out of reach,
might have warmed and iilledl
Talents misused and seasons lost,
DER which mourn in vain
waste as barren to my tears
As desert sand to rainl
All, friendl whose eyes to-day may look
Love into living eyes,
Whose tone and touch, perchance, may thrill
Sad hearts with sweet surprise,
BE Instant like your Lord. in love-
And lavish at his grace,
with light and dew and mamma fall,
For night comes on apace.

The great financier who founded
the English branch of the famous

One day the business he had to trans

Rothschild soon heard of the trans

this great pile, laying the sticks one by

But one by one, little by little, is
the way most of the great things are
done in this world" said bis father.
Its the way I'm laying this walk,

Robert. 81 like to see things grow
under my hand"
"When we think how many things
are made up of one small thing added
to another" said father, sit gives a
great deal of dignity to little things.
Look at the leaves on the trees--how
they wave in the soft wind, every ne W
movement giving them new CLEAN in

don't think I'd fancy tree with
just one big leaf 10 it," said Robert,
"or lawn with one big blade of grass
to it."
Water is made up of drops, land of
grains of sand or earth, and the sun
shine of separate bright rays" said
father.

interested in the discussion. But"

for US sometimes to remember how few
of the great things in the world are
done by just one person or through a
single great effort. They come of the
united force of a dozen or hundred

through the adding of one days effort
to another. So now, having preached
my little sermon, we will go to dinner "
