During the debate in the house on
the bill to increase pensions, Repre-
sentative Picker declared that the Re
publicans in the coming campaign
viii promise to pass a service pension
bill. Were such bill passed the
wealth of Ormus or of Ind would be
wholly insufficient to meet the ey-
penses of the government. Comment
ing on this declaration of Representa-
tive Pickler's the Baltimore Sun says:
A general service pension bill, how
ever, would hand over new millions at
once to those even who 90 not ask for
them. There have been several schemes
presented by pension attorneys to the
old soldiers. One Of them is to pay IS
a month 30 each survivor on reaching
the age oS Sixty-two. This plan would
add to the present annual pension out
go OF S14c.000,000 about SO, 900 In 1896
and various larger sums in future
years till 1907, when the addition would
be $2S,S76, 800. The last survivors would
disappear, 1T is estimated, in 1915, but
their widows-M we consider the fact
that there are still widows of the Rev
oiution OF 1851 on the pension roll
will continue to get pensions on their
account till 1880 Such would be the
outlook under q tservice-pension' law
giving each survivor So a month for
life. There is another proposal, which
is TO give $I2 month to every survivor
that served as long as Ninety days.
This would cost s79, 800, s91 in 1896. in
addition to the $40, 900 now being
paid, and would continue to produce its
effect on the treasury balance till 1915.

TALES OF THE DAY.
They wanted His Tomb.

The late Sir Richard Burton was ex-
ploring an unknown corner, of Afghan
istan once and had adopted the dis
guise of a Mohammedan fakir.
He played his part so well in one
village that the inhabitants formed a
very high idea of his sagacity. NatUr-
ally he was pluming himself. on his sue
cess, when the elders came privately to
him one night and begged. him to go
away at once.
DO not the people like me?" asked
Burton, in great surprise.
Indeed they do was the reply.
''They were considering whether it
would not be good thing; to possess
your tomb. they are so enchanted with
your holiness"
Sir Richard made the best of his
speed away.-DetrOit Journal.

Golf is not an easy game to learn from

AN oUTLAND VOYAGE.

The tall ships come and the tall ships
Across the purple bay;
But there's never a ship so fair and fine.
Never ship so brave as mine,
AS mine that sailed away.
Bright in the light and gray in the
shade,
And white when the waves glow dun;
The gulls go by with their great wings
spead;
But the sails of my ship were gold and
And they shone like the setting sun.
They make cheer in the tavern here.
The sailors home from sea;
But the crew of my ship, they feast with
kings
In emerald crowns, and opal rings,
And coats of the cramoisie.
Fine is the freight their ships ring in,
But mine bears finer far;
Pearls and roses and links of gold,
Myrrh. and amber, and rich bales rolled,
As bright as the morning star,
Twas May-day morn that my ship set
sail,
With the dew on her figurehead:
Her bows were wreathed with the haw-
thCrne bloom,
As she stole through the dusk of the
dawning gloom,
Like ghost, or bride new-wed.
The May-days dawn and the May-days
die,
And the hours draw near, I know:
The day when my ship shall come to me
To carry me back to my own countrie,
East of the sun by the outmost sea,
In the heart of the Long Ago.

In another column will be found a
communication in the defense of athe-
ism. The letter seems to have been
occasioned by some remarks on this
page last Monday morning, under the
coption, "The Weakness of Atheism"
We neither value the arguments of the
gentleman, based for the most part on
a misconceDtion of what we said; nor
accept his dictum as to facts; but as
the writer claims we did some injus-
tice to atheism we give place to his
communication: and also for the rea-
son, as he himself puts it, that Sin the
Republic of Letters as in politics, no
belief should be SO poor as to be denied
a hearing"
We join with the gentleman in de-
ploring the fact that no ADLER pen took
up the matter.

The fact that the bicycle has come
into general use and is certain to re-
main so, imposes upon the government
the necessity of bringing it within the
laws which regulate all other occupants
of the public highways. Accidents oc-
cur daily in our cities from the reckless
use of the bicycle, and there is not
week that fatal accident is not re-
ported from some part of the country.
If people will not teach themselves to
respect their own safety and the safety
of others on our public highways, they
must be taught by law and the sooner

THE ORIENTAL PEDDLER.

The hawker of the East is pictures
que in costume, and of many nation
aIities. His sunny smile and white
cleaning teeth are of the very essence
of the blue sky overheard. He does
not stand still in the street and appeal
to passers-by TO buy his wares. He
fits from safe to cafe, and interviews
loungers smoking their narghileZ in the
open air. He adopts the gambling sys-
tenn as being a more direct appeal to
human passions. In his hand he car
ries lucky-bag. When he enters a
cafe, he invites you to dip your hand
in the bag and try your luck for pair
of live turkeys. d beautiful Egyptian
shawl shimmeTing with gold or silver
embroidery, or some other of the many
ornaments peculiar to the East. 1t is
difficult to resist his persuasive elo-
quence.
The method OF procedure is this. In
his Iucky-bag the hawker carries 200
numbers. The figures are neatly in
scTibed on small slips of stiff paper.
These are rolled and curled up in the
luck-bag. which resembles a pillow
case more than anything else. When
the peddler enters the cafe his quick
eye soon detects a likely customer. To
start by doing a trade Will greatly en-
nance his chances with others. Terms
are arranged, say, three tries for half
a franc Then you guess, perhaps three
times, at the luck number-say be-
tween 100 and 120-as arranged.
On drawing the first number you pay
down your half franc. OF course, the
odds are very much against you. The
hawkers in Cairo and Alexandria make
a very fair harvest when these cities
are full. AS much as 10 to Is francs foI
a turkey which cost francs is pretty
good profit. Somebody, of course, wins
it in the long run.
The articles disposed of in this way
comprise boxes of splendid peaches and
other fruits, soap, flowers in great va
riety, plants and the beautiful pOintse-
tia. turkeys and other live stock, game
in season, fish, dates, a great variety OF
ornaments, cunning devices in clocks
furniture, etc.
There is another side to the picture.
The Eastern hawker would not be con-
tent with the mere gamble for a lucky
number without exercising his natural
ingenuity. While he is talking to a
would-be ''flutter" ne drops his hand
into the bag and begins shaking up the
numbers. These, II should be explain
ed, are made up in patches OF tens and
twenties, which are composed of slight
" different qualities of paper. In the
bag is a false bottom. So delicate is
Nassau or AbduIs touch that he can
distinguish one batch from the other
with his hand. Instantly you select
your numbers he switches them off
into the reserved compartment. You
may easily be tricked half a dozen
times in this way without knowing it.
The face of the hawker on such occa-
siOns is a study.
Never for a moment does he relax
his attention to you. His smile is sun
ny as the Eastern morn; his respectful
graciousness never leaves him.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run it's course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively, and it has always given
entire satisfaction.-Olag Ind. Ter.
Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thous-
ands who have used it for colds and la
grippe, we have never yet learned of a
single case having resulted in pneu-
monia. Persons who have weak lungs
or have reason to fear an attack of
pneumonia, should keep the remedy at
hand. For sale by all Druggists and
