TO ENTER POLITICS.
The Civic Federation Will incorporate
and Will Battle Corruption on the
Chicago Plan.

Chicago Plan.
The Civic Federation has been busy
lately preparing to incorporate its organi-
cation under the laws of the State.
Papers will probably be filed to-day.
The members expect, by following the
lines of the Chicago Civic Federation's
organization, to WELD q much greater in
fuence in the next election. The Chicago
organization has welded great influence
on local elections, and it is hoped that by
making proposed changes much better
work can be done here.
It is proposed to get in at the head more
practical men of affairs, that the clergy
men will be somewhat more relegated to
the ranks, and that they will become sup
porters rather than leaders. Q
The Civic Federation proposes to 90
actively into politics in the coming cleo
tons, and it is for this reason that it will
take steps to put the organization on a
more practical basis.

The legend which tells us that salt
statue of Lots wife still stands on the

the Biblical passage quoted above The
monk Celeli, who visited the Dead sea re-
gion in the year 9l7, says THE miracle
of the salt woman, which same was once
the wife Of tho righteous Lot, still stands
at Usdum, on the southern shore of the
sea. The form is as perfect now as it was

A Peculiar Community.

The Boston Transcript says that of the
146 inhabitants of the little town of Chill
mark, on the island of Martha's Vineyard,
SO, or almost exactly one quarter are con-
CENTRALLY deaf and dumb. The town rec
ords show that two of the original settlers
of the place. away back in the seventeenth
century, were deaf and dumb, and the in
trinity has thus been transmitted to our
own day. This hereditary influence shows
no plan of uniformity in its workings,
deaf and dumb parents having children in
full possession of all their senses, and vice
versa. This peculiar community, shut in
from the outside world, is, however, alive
to all the sociM ana political influences of
the time and L.,ys not differ in great de-
gree from the thousand and one secluded
villages which dot our New England hills
and shore line. 1t affords, however, ample
opportunity for the minute investigation
of both the sociologist and the student of
evolution and physiological heredity.

HERALDRY IN AMERICA. BY Eugene Zeiber.
Published by Bailey. Banks. Bdde & Co., PhiIa-
delphia, Pa.
This is fine piece Of historical aud literary
work, sumptuously gotten out from the artistic
establishment which stands in the front rank
of the high-c!ass printers aud publishers of the
country.
While there is great deal of nonsense in
hcraldry, there Is great deal of good sense.
Flags. banners, coats-oarms seas, etc, have
been in use since tho earliest development of
society. Genesis assigns tho designations for
the different tribes of Israel. This work
begins with a history of heradry in general,
and then gives pictorial representations OF
heraIdry in America,-dags seals. conts-of.
arms, etc. of the United States, Of the diff
fcrent States. and of individuals who have
been granted inherited. or assumed armo-
rial designations. Also, of those of the great
societies and associations. There is very
exhaustive explanation of the laws of heraldry,
and of the meaning of the various terms used.
There arc chapters OH Monumental and Archi-
tectural Heraldry, Memorial Windows. Her.
aldry and Republicanisp. Necessity of Her
aldry, Symbolism. Use of the Crest in America,
Rules 10 Govern American Heraldry, etc. 1t

ness Men" by Mr.. Ferdinand A. Wyman. MEM
Der of the Suffolk Bar. 1t is the most handy,
useful and valuable handbook of the season.
With a copy of it OH his desk, every business
man can, ut glance. ascertain just what he
has got to do in making 4 return to Govern

upon what he has and upon what he has not. to
pay the income tax. lt is equally useful for
eorporations indeed for every one who has an
income, whether Iarge' small. 1t is in
tended to save time anxiety, and money: even
a cursory glance will prove its value and USE
fitness.
The leading paper in tho January A'snals of
the Imerican Academy is contributed by Pro-
fessor Simon N. Patten. and tells how Econom-
les may be taught successfully in the eemen-
tary schools. When it is considered how many
scholars do not get any further than the gram
mar school before they stop, it is possible to
realize how important it is that economies i'm
some way should be taught in the lower schools
This paper has met with so favorable a recep-
tion that the Academy announces its immedi-

pENSION DECICI0N-

Assistant Secretary of the Interior Reynolds
has decided that where soldier dies before
final action by the Pension Bureau, his claim
having been subsequently, rejected, the attor-
ney of record has no legal right to appeal from
such rejection, without first obtaining from
tho widow Of the soldier power Of attorney to
continue its prosecution.
The claim for increase in which the appel
liant was attorney, having been abandoned by
the applicant, who thereafter filed claim in
his own behalf which was allowed, the appel
liant was not entitled to a fee.
When. in claim for increase, an order for a
medical examination is not obeyed, the attor-
ney shall he notified of the fact, and, unless
within 80 days from the date of the notice y
satisfactory explanation of such failure is filed.
tho attorney shall be held to be in neglect,
and his attorneyshD forfeited. When an at
torney completes the evidence TO establish a
claimants right to pension, his fee is earned ;
and if such attorney dies before allowance of
the claim or issue of certificate the fee vests in
his personal representative.
