vEToEs A WIDOWS PENSION.

who as the widow OF Benjamin o.
West, Mexican war veteran, received
a pension from his death 10 Apr. 1851, /,
when she married William Jacobs.

was again granted her as a widow OF
West.
The president declares IL is a "wide

lie says a soldiers widow is "pen-
stoned only because he has served his
country, and because through his
death his wife lost her support. In
other words, she becomes the benefic-

a soldiers widow. When she marrles

The hot summer days brought a
new peril to Bangs, and a very real
one. A decree went forth from the
police that all dogs for whom their
owners did not pay license, II caught
upon the streets, would be taken to
the pound and put to death. "Papa'll
never pay for license for Bangs, "
the children said and they were right.
mo" was his reply. "I'd pay two
dollars to get rid Of him any day.
He's of no earthly account, and those
ours are always the first to go mad. "
Even their usual ally, their mother,
failed them. She too, refused to pay
| license.
''1f only we hadn't spent all our
money on the Fourth of july"
groaned the children; "we'd have
enough to pay for it ourselves" But
regrets were useless; the Fourth of
July money was already gone up in
powder, and the junior members of
the Brown family were in a state OF
bankruptcy. There was only one thing
to do. They must set about earning
tile two dollars at once, and in the
meantime Bangs must be closely
watched, and kept from straying out
on tie street and falling into the
clutches Of the "dog catcher"
one night the family went to bed
and to sleep, leaving Bangs shut up
in the dining-room, as usual, for safe
keeping. About midnight Mr.. Brown
was awakened, from sound sleep by a
series of short sharp yells close TO his
ear, and something or somebody pull
ing and tugging at his hand. IL was
Bangs, and as soon as he perceived
that his master was awake, he ran to
the door leading into the hall and
back again to the bed, still yelping
and barking.
by this time both Mr.. and Mrs
Brown were fully awake and in an
instant were out of bed into the
rooms occupied by the children Shout
ing:
Wake up get up! the house is
afire!"
Still half asleep, the children were
half dragged, half carried down the
stairway, into which the smoke was
already pouring, and out of the house
to place Of safety.
Thanks to Bangs timely alarm, the
house, though considerably dam
aged, was saved, and many were the
praises showered upon the faithful |
fellow, by both friends and strangers.
Ihe next morning Mr.. Brown went |
out and in an hour or so returned,
bringing with him handsome silver
collar with n little brass pendant
which proved to be the much talked
OF license. Clasping it around Bangs
neck, he said, with an approving pat
on the dogs head "There, old fellow,
you saved our lives and our home. l
guess we can afford to pay 50 year
TO save you" Bangs licked his mas
ter's hand and wagged his tail ap-
preciatively, while the children and
Mrs. Brown applauded heartily

The Mark Of Babylon on Genesis.

In speaking Of the early chapters Of Gen.
esis, Professor Sayce emphasizes the pres
ence In them Of a strong Babylonian ele-
ment. The tablets containing the Baby
lonian cosmogony, which were first brought
to light, now nearly 20 ago, by Mr.. George
Smith, are quoted, and 1t Is shown how
the narrative of the first chapter Of Gene
sis Is dependent upon 1t. Even the Sab
bath, we are told, is an institution OF
Babylonian origin.
Professor Sayce quotes, moreover, an
other Babylonian narrative, exhibiting a
different conception Of the order of crea-
ton, and representing a habitation pre-
pared for men and gods before mankind
and the beasts of the field had been form
cd, and while plants and trees were still
uncreated, which, as he points out, agrees
with the representation of the "Jehovist'
In Genesis II, 8; Iii, 26, as against that of
the "Elohist" in 1, /, Il, 4.
The scenery Of Genesis ii-Eden, the
four rivers, the shohan "a. V. onyx stone
is Babylonian "the garden and Its mys-
tical tree were known to the Inhabitants
Of Chaldea in pre- Semitic days" even the
beliefs that woman was created out OF man
and that man by sin fell from state OF
innocence are alluded to in ancient Su-
merriam texts (pages 10l1Ob).
In comparing these Babylonian nara
tives with those In Genesis, Professor Sayoe
rightly insists upon the entirely different
complexion which they assume in the
hands of the Biblical writers; they are
stripped Of their polytheism, accommodate
ed to the Hebrew point of view, and made
the vehicle Of profound religious truths
In all this, however, there is nothing
which has not been said before by the de-
spised "critic." In Germany, for Instance,
the relation Of the Bible to the Babylo-
MAN representation has been excellently In
dictated by Riehm and Dillmann; In this
country 1t has been pointed out by Pro
lessor Rye and myself.

COMMERCE AND SAKE.

The monthly and quarterly bull
letins issued from the Department |
of Finance by Minister Damon
have served to keep the public we'll |
informed on the condition and
transactions of that bureau. The
report for the last calendar year,
presented to the Legislature in
pamphlet form, is very complete
and clear and there will be heavy
demand for it. There is in the re-
turn exhaustive consideration,S of
the country's imports and some
facts that will surprise many people
are presented in such shape that all
can understand.
Imports from the United States
increased and SI-Ioo per cent. in
1895. The increase of japanese
imports for that year was but 40
100 of per cent. Great Britain's
increase in shipments to this coun-
try in 1895 was 90 per cent, and
decreases are recorded against Ger
many and China.
Mr.. Damon remarks that he is at
a loss to account for the very slight
increase in the imports from Japan,
the population from that country
now being fifth of the whole people
of the Islands, except on the ground
that the quality of the goods from
America is superior or that they are
more desired by the consumers.
There is in this phamplet COM
parative table on sake and Califor.
MIA wine. The figures make the
rather astonishing showing that
California wine has held its owl
and even shows slight increase fol
1895 over 1894. 1t is deduced tina
the sake boom was a craze or fac
and that the grape wines, as agains
the rice brew, will win in the end
Contra to Mr.. Damons conclu
sions, though his figures cannot b
questioned and his facts must stand
it may be cited that for at leas
three months during 1895 importa
ton of any merchandise from Japan
on account CT the cholera, wa
greatly hampered and part of tina
time practically suppressed.

JOHN B. ROBINSON Of South AT
RIGA is reported in letter from that
country to be the richest man in
the world, as the possessor of for
tune amounting to $3.50, 900, 900.
If his millions were converted into
twenty-dollar pieces they would
make a continuous golden chain
27I miles long. Robinson's acqui-
sition of this enormous wealth has
been phenomenal. In 1873 he did
not possess enough money to buy
meal for himself and wife. For
some years he kept grocery store
in the orange Free State, but ran so
deeply in debt that his store was
closed and he and his wife were
turned adrift penniless. They de-
cided to tramp to Kimberley,
distance of 800 miles, and on the
way he picked up diamond weigh
ing sixty carats in the rough. This
he sold at Kimberley for $I2oo.
That was the turning point in his
fortune. He became a diamond
buyer, and with such men as Bar
ney Barnato served as fence" for
the Kaffirs who were robbing their
masters at the rate of $1,000, 900 a
year. Mr.. Robinson is an elderly
man. He now lives in princely
style, but will not give or donate
one penny toward charity. His
views of life and people are very
cynical. His income for 1894 was
S2s, 600, 900 and is increasing an
nually. He manages to get along
OH $3.50, 600 a week without touch
ing his principal. 1t is the dream
if ohslife to become the first bill
lionaire of the world, that history
may point him out as one Of the
greatest men in finance that ever
lived.
