ARMY AND NAVY.

Col. Charles Haywood, Commandant OF the
United States Marine Corps, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Navy, asks for an
increase of the corps. He says that by keep
ing the number of men up to the legal allow
ance last year the duty was performed with
less hardship to the men, and in consequence
the number of assertions very materially de-
creased.
The Commandment is satisfied that assertions

upon 10 perform. Last year they were able 10
have two days off guard, which great

are never less than five days off guard, this is

Decoration is about 10 he bestowed by
Guard of New York as sign and reward of
continuous service for 10 or more years, and
is to be known as the Long-Servce Medal
The suggestion came from Adj't-Gen. Hor-
ace Porter, and the design is by Tiffany &
Co. The motive is fve-pointed star the
points indented to typiiy the bastions of a
fortress, iDclosing the arms of the State and
the words Faithful Service" Each point
is decorated with symbol of one of the
five arms of the service-infantry, cavalry,
artillery, naval reserve, and signal corps.
The medal is to be made in four denomina-
tions-10, 10, 20, and 25 years-designated
upon the bar across the laurel wreath to
which the ribbon is attached. That for 10
years will be of bronze; those for the higher
denominations of combination of bronze,
silver, and gold in variations not yet fully
determined. The proposal to give fifth
and most valuable form for 80 years of serv-
ice has not been carried out, though many
members of the Guard would be entitled to
receive it, Just when this decoration will
be ready for distribution is not yet known,
nor exactly how many will be called for. 1t
is estimated that about one-teDth of the
whole present roll of the Guard has served
more than 10 years. The ordinary length
of service however, is only three or four
years. and it is saying that every regi-

IS TO THE LONG CASE.

Pension Commissioner Locliren, in his
annual report. referring to the Long pension
case, says, under honest but mistaken interpre-
tations of pension laws, this pensioner has OBJ
famed more than $1,000 to which he was never
lawfully entitled and should he take the mat
ter to the United States Supreme Court, the
Commissioner says, its decision may impel him
to consider the propriety of refunding this
money TO the Treasury.
The work of Special Examiners. Commits
sioner Lochren says, which has been criticized
in Congress and elsewhere constitutes the main
protection of the Government against fraud.
The provision of law preventing the Com
missioner from suspending pensions until fraud
has been actually established has not. the Com
missioner says, worked to the advantage of the
Bureau.

For people who waken early, and are up aud
about two or three hours before break fast time,
it is suggested that it is most healthfu prac-
tico to take cup of cocoa on rising. House
wives who arc busy need something of the sort,
and there need not be much trouble in pre-
pairing the cocoa. If mado with sweet milk
the night before. it can be warmed up, and
will be almost as good as if freshly made.
Cocoa is easily digested, and is very nourishing.

Chicken broth for invalids needs careful
making and flavoring. Select a chicken not
very young. Clean and cut it up removing all
fat and skin. Cut it in small pieces and put
it in cold water. Let it come to boil slowly,
and then let it simmer for three hours, or until
the meat breaks apart easily. Strain, take off
the fat. Use rice, sage, or barley; onion, celery
top parsley, any desired flavoring. Serve
in cups with toasted crackers.
A good way TO serve oysters is to have scald-
ing milk, and into this pnt the liquor and

times around tho shoulder instead of gathering

In an old, old marriage service the promise
that the bride repeated after the priest was:

have and to holde fro this day forwarde for
better: for worse: for richer: for poorer: in
syck nesse and hele: to be bonere and buxum
in bedde and at the borde." The idea of obedi-
ence, always a likely question for discussion,
was expressed in the word "buxum." Its pres
emit meaning has strayed far from the original
one which was bendsome, the old English
"boesam." obedient, compliant. 1t has
sound like. and is related to, the German
"biegsam," also meaning tractable. Just how
we managed to make it mean healthy, rosy,
stout, as it does, is mystery; one of those
elusive suggestive changes that often occur in
the history of our English words. Bonere
means gentle.

One of the estimates of decrease is for payment
of pensions for 1896, to wit S10,o0C,000 This
is the decrease from the appropriation for the
current year. That appropriation was made
before the close OF the last fiscal year and was
for 100000 more than the amount actually
