WARRINGTON. Doc. 4.--For the first time since
the pension appropriations began TO assume
enormous proportions 1t seems certain that the
subject will receive proper and earnest atten-
ton from Congress. 1t begins to pe seen that a
pension list which thlrty.two years after the
close Of the war closely approximates half tho
total number OF three-year enlstments, ana
which is still rapidly growing, demands serious
confederation. 1t Ia n case where the assistance
is needed OF tho veterans who sprang to arms In
1851 before pensions or bounties were talked Of
or thought OF. Their aid is a patriotic duty, now
as then. They owo 1t to themselves to frown
upon unworthy pensioners on tho rolls and un-
worthy applicants.
Tho pension roll now far exceeds tho member
ship of all the patriotic societies of veterans
which tho war created, in fact Is considerably
moro than double the membership of all OF them
Grand Army of tho Republic, Union Veteran
Legion, Union Veterans Union, Military Order
of the Loyal Legion, Society OF the Army of the
Potomac. Society Of the Army of the James. So
ciety of the Army Of the Tennessee. Society Of
tho Army of West Virginia. and the Society Of
tho Army OF tho Cumberland.
Turning from the contemplation of numbers
TO the consideration Of the cost, it appears that
next years expenditure for pensions will re-
Quire moro than half the yearly receipts
90 calculated upon those Of the month Just
closed. The present estimate IL that tho roll
will cost $15O,00O.Ooo. To put the matter In
still more striking form, this annual outlay will
require S32. 600 900 more than the total receipts
from customs. estimated upon those of tho
month of November last az average II this
annual expense be compared with the internal
revenue receipts estimated on tho same basis, It
10 found that tho entire revenue from this
source. with the exception Of S12,oooooo. will
be required to pay tho pension roll.
Looked at in another shape. II q limo could be
formed equal in length to ono made up of all tho
tbreeyear veterans Of tho war and every
other man should be advanced q pace to tho
front. the numbers In either line would then but
slightly exceed those on the pension roll, and
moro than every other dollar Of tho Govern
ment revenue would be required to pay 1t.
Moro startling still does the magnitude Of
this pension payment appear when Its amount 10
compared with the items Of annual appropria-
tions. These in round numbers were tho appro-
priations for the current fiscal year,

that point of perfection which it is hoped
may be attained in the near future we
shall hear much less OF this class OF
disease.
"Tte most successful physicians do not

and moral potentia,ities and seeking 10

knowledge of child's parents IS no
guide to the mental qualities OF the chlld
himself. Twins, though often atsurdly
alike in appearance, may be entirely differ
ent in disposition. Even the halves OF
double monsters frequently have charac-
tiers very unlike.
"The famous Siamese twins lived very
unhappily. One of them took to drink
ing, and his brother, who did not care at
all for liquor, is said to have been
seriously inconvenienced." More than
that, they disagreed on the subject of the
civil war and irritated each other TO such
an extent that at one time they consulted
an eminent physician as to the possibility
of separation.
Medical records give the case of another
monster, the celebrated Hungarian twins
Rita and Christina. One was almost
beautiful, with agreeable manners and
good temper, while the other was plain
and of such violent and quarrelsome
temper that they could not be trusted
alone. Yet, after their death, their
blood-vessels were found to have commu-
nicated in such a manner that the same
blood flowed through both brains.
