Several rulings in pension cases were pro.
mulgated at the Interior Department recently

Assistant Secretary Reynolds holds that d pend

relates to the needs, wants and necessities oil
the father, mother or minor brother or sister
not to the ability Of the son to furnish support
The action Of the Pension Bureau is approved
in the case of the widow of Florida cavalry
man. The rule is laid down that where an in
vestigaton is instituted to ascertain whether a
fraud has been perpetrated upon the Govern
ment in procuring pension. the penioner sus-
pected is not entitled to notice of the time and
place of taking evidence. Neither he nor his
attorney will be accorded the right to demand
a copy OF the evidence in such fraudulent cases.

Missionaries in China.

The confirmation of reports that American
missionary property in China has been destroy
ed makes it probable that the United States
Government will require China to make suit
able indemnity when the facts are officially
established. precedent for such recompense
was made when the United States paid China
a considerable amount for mob depredations on
Chinese in the far Northwest. The reports of
losses to mission property in China vary. 1t is
said that the indemnity asked will cover not
only the actual damage and loss to the Amer-
can missionaries, but also punitive sum as
recompense for the indignity suffered.

The Growth of tho Piano.


Fifty years ago the ownership of a
Piano marked the family of culture and
distinction.
Twenty five years ago to own Piano
meant to be little above the common
folk Today the Piano Is as much at
home in the miners cottage as in the
kings palace.
OF all things marketable, there Is
nothing on which the average buyer is
so easily led astray as a Piano. 1t
good points and weak points in col
struction are mystery to him, and nc
unfrequently Instruments are palmo
onto him at fancy prices, on which h
could not realize one-third of their cos
If circumstances should compel him t
sell at any time. Such instruments OF
ten become positive nuisance, OWN
to their wretched tone after a few year
service in place of u lasting source
pleasure. OF course, there are Piano
built that will last life time withou
failing one iota.
The famous Weber Pianos are anon,
the most noteworthy in this respect
and strange to say, there never has bee
another Piano made possessing tn
same marvellous quality of tone. whic'
seems to appeal to ear and heart alike
and fingers in the memory like grand
sweet song. ~
