dustry as result of the Democratic free
trade policy. the manufacturers of spruce
lumber in this city have decided that it will
be necessary to make . cut of 20 per cent.
in the wages of employees. This will affect

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: A comrade

having been filed in August of that year.
He was examined by the Medical Board in
July, 1892, from which time his pension
dates, thereby cutting him off about $140
Another old soldier recently received notice
that his claim law of 1890, was rejected for
the reason that he is not disabled for the
performance of manual labor in a pension
able degree. Physicians affidavits in this
case rate his disability from rheumatism
and heart disease at seven eighths, with the
added opinion that the disability for the
performance of manual labor is probably
total, aud this medical opinion is very nearly
that of the report of the examination by the
Medical Board. Neighbors' evidence prove
the same facts. This soldier gets nothing,

Education awakens in the people a longing

Is it the educated man who sells his vote at
the polls? Is it he who allows others 10 do his

Again we must answer in the negative. Aud
this is what we want, Men who will think and
vote as they think.
1t is appalling TO look around and see the

By Amos L. Seaman.
We have endeavored to show that time gains
day every four years; hence we add to any
given year its fourth part, which gives as the
number of extra days TO add that are gained
through time Having added these extra days
over even weeks, we divide by z, because in
solar cycle of seven years. the leap years now
being added, recurrence of the same order
would occur, each succeeding year beginning
enc day later than the previous year.
The remainder represents the number Of
days intervening between the first Sunday and
first day of year.
Take another example Feb %: The letter
for February is ID. represents Sunday, and
corresponds with the figure ]. d corresponds
with 4, therefore four days from Sunday would
be Thursday. the first day of February. We
want to find on what day the 22a falls. Sub

varies from sunday There being no remain

the 22d falls upon the same day of the week
as the lst. Feb. % 1866. was Thursday.
The Dominica Letter being found, it is easy
to find the day on which any given date falls,
using the following table. which represents
the variation from even weeks in a month. If
every month contained an even number of

same day.

PLAY WITH THE CHILDREN.
c. c. FRIENDS: Following the well discussed
subject. (which are the happiest homes, those
with or without children" permit me word
on the rearing of children.
To parents would say, play with your chill
dren, if you would win their affections
Well do / remember when we were all chill
dren at home. Nothing delighted US so much
as romp with father. The hour of his home
coming was the happiest in all the "a.
/ often think if all parents would play with
their children, home discipline might entirely
lose its severe aspect and become law of love.
Children are not made good by the law of power.
How many parents are willing to devote an
hour or so to play with the children? As
little kitten will stop tapping her milk to play
with the string you draw across the floor so
will the child leave almost everything for
remp with its father or mother.
In these romps and during these moments of
recreation the great lesson of love is learned by
the child. This close companionship makes
the bond between parent and child which re-
suits in the future acceptance of advice and
guidance.
Perhaps you are naturally dignified per-
son. and unaccustomed to play. So, when your
infant first came TO you, you were not accus-
tened to its care; bat yet you did not for that
reason allow it to 60 uncared for.
If you are hsrassed by worldly anxeties, the
recreation will benefit you as much as it bene-
fits the child, and your sleep will be the sounder
for it.
The experiment is worth trying. Yours
