PENSION LAWS.
Bill For Their Codifcntion to Be
Pushed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S-Representative
Martin, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions, will make
an effort to push to enactment before
the death of the Fifty-third Congress
the bill embodying the codification of
the pension acts which is the one pro-
ject most desired by the pension bureau.
The codification has been compiled by
Messrs. T. F. Dennis and D. S. Parker,
two experts who are directed by the
pension commissioner for special SER
vice with the House Committee on In
valid Pensions and pensions respective
ly. 1t is the result Of much work and
research and, if it secures the authorize
ton of Congress, viii materially lessen
the work of pension officials and at
torneyS. Since 1873, when the statutes
at large were combined with the revised
statutes, the pension laws have been
among the most difficult of any class of
the statute books to sift and determine.
Pension legislation has been enacted
since the revolutionary war, with a con-
stantly increasing record of enactments
and amendments, and reVisions which
have greatly complicated the code.
To learn the final word in any feature
of the pension law it is necessary to
search in the revised statutes, but the
new codiflcation gives the whole body
of law in concise and conveniently ar
ranged form.
BY consent of the House, given yes
terday, there will be a special night ses-
sion today for the reading of the bill.
In view of its Importance, it was
thought best not to push the bill
through without a reading, but it was
not desired to consume as much Of the
time as the House in its regular ses-
sions would he necessary to deliver
the whole document. 1t is estimated
that the clerk will require three hours
to declaim the 14o pages. The sane
ton of Speaker Crisp has been secured
for the measure (ande its passage is
earnestly desired by Commissioner
Lochran and Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Reynold) and has promised to
recognize Mr.. Martin to call it up in
the near future.
The bill is also on the Senate calendar
and members of the Senate COMMITTEES
on Pensions are pledged to put forth
every effort to secure its consideration

A Stamp Tin From Canada.

The gradually spreading renown of Koo
tenay brings us many letters of inquiry as
to its capabilities from ali sorts and con-
ditions of people in the United States
With praiseworthy honesty these good
folk nearly always inclose 2 cent United
States stamp to pay the cost of reply. We
have often heard Britishers called down
for living up to the belief that they were
the people and that their language and
their sovereigns were good all the world
over. A large experience teaches that
the Britisher is very nearly right. but his
pride is~nothing to the humble confidence
which SO firmly believes in the universal
omnipotence of the United States postage
stamp One almost hesitates to break the
spell Of such simplicity by telling our
cousins to save their cents because these
stamps are of no earthly use outside Of
their own country.-Nelson Miner.

Returning to the W ay of their Fathers

Memphis Scimitar
From all parts of the South the
most encouraging reports are heard
of it's prosperous condition and a
bright future is assured. The
farmers of the South are returning
to the ways of their fathers. They
are producing their meat and bread
at home. They are diversifying the ir
crops, and for the cotton hich they
have planted they will receive
higher price than for years. Quanti-
ties of oats in excess of the personal
needs of many of the farmers have
been produced and shipped to
market. Potatoes have paid more
than one planter out of debt this
year. One instance is mentioned of
a farmer who paid debt OF $4,000
of of the first crop of a twenty acre
potato field, and in addition has
raised good crop of millet on the
same land and will get a fine yield
from a second planting of potatoes
three crops in one season. This is
not an exceptional case. There are
millions of acres of land in the South
upon which the same thing can be
done and will be done.

How Parents Provoke Children.

How Parents Provoke Children.
DIR. Alexander Maclaren
''How do parents provoke their
children? By unreasonable com
mands, by perpetual restriction, by
capricious jerks at the bride, alter
mating with capricious dropping the
reins altogether, by not governing
their own tempers, by shr.ll or stern
tones where quiet, soft ones would
do, by frequent checks and rebukes,
and sparing praise. And what is
sure to follow such mistreatment by
father or mother? Bursts of temper,
for which the child is punished and
the parent is guilty, and then spirit
less listlessness and apathy. i can
not please him whatever do leads
to a ranking sense of injustice, and
then to recklessness-'it is useless to
try any more And when a child or
a man loses heart, there will be no
more obedience. Many a parent.
especially many a father drives his
child into evil by keeping him at a
distance. He should make his boy
a companion and playmate, teach
him to think of his father as his con
fidant, try to keep his child nearer TO
himself than to anybody else, and
then his authority will be absolute,
his opinions an oracle, and his light
est wish a law
