The expenditures of the national gov
trrment for pensions to the soldiers OF
the rebellion is getting to be a sum
really appalling in its magnitude. No
true Anne rican begrudges these veterans
one penny they receive, but when the
humber of pensioners on account of the
war, thirty.two years after the ,end of
tho COT fiict, exceeds by quarter of a
million the number of soldiers actually
engaged in the service OF the govern
ment between tn" firing upon iSumter
and the surrender If l. . at Appomat-
tox, and when the expenditures on ac.
count OF pensions has grown from $76,-
900. 200 in 1865 to $5S1, 600, 900 in 1896, it
becomes matter for serious considera-
tion by Congress. One would naturally
suppose that the list of pensioners and
the amount expended for pensions
would begin to decrease, at least in a
generation after the close of the war.
As long ago as 1872 Gen. Garfield, as
chairman of the Committee on Appropri.
ations in the House Of Repret entatiyes,
oppressed the opinion that 1--WE may
reasonably expect that the expenditures
for pensions will hereafter steadily de.
crease, unless our legislation shouId be
unwarrantably extravagant The
government ought 10 be liberal to the
ds finders Of its flag, but it cannot per
init frauds to be practised in the name o
honest pensioners.

Our neighbors generally are the peo-
pie who have houses near to our own,
that nearness varying according to the
size of the district and the number of
householders of the same social rank as
ourselves. In town they live in the
same street; i'll apartments they are on
the same corridor; in the country they
are separated by field only or garden
wall; i'll sparsely tenanted places they
are at distance of mile or two miles,
OF it may be six. And the neighbor par
excellence is the one who lives close
alongside of ourselves-perhaps in the
other half of the semidetached house
where we have our home or just across
the road and opposite, not to the side
This is the general idea of neighbor,
and when we use the term we rarely
mean aught else.
But In point of fact we have neigh
bors wherever we turn-men and wom-
en- to whom we are bound to render
such service of kindness as comes into
the possibilities of the time and place.
1t Is not only domicile and the rates
and taxes which make us neighbors. 1t
is not only when we live divided by a
party wall che from the other at the
foot OF the hill, or standing face to face
across the road, when we can signal our
goings ont and our comings in and be
helpful and neighborly in the matter of
the garden roller and the preserving
pan. 1t is not only when we know all
the family history, and how our friends
and neighbors are impeccable as to their
grandfather and without the crooked
lines of scandal across their family
escutcheon. 1t is not necessary to be
intimate, nor even to have been intro
duced, for the obligations of neighbor-
illness to be strict and strong. For
wherever we can render service, show
courtesy or do kindness we have our
work cut out for us in the way of duty
to our neighbor, and he is our neighbor
who stands in need, great or small, of
such help as we can offer. r.-Philadel-

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid

So the womb, like the bladder, was Great

too much is not liable to weakness or

therefore any pain, disease or incon-

avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;

Judge Tuley, in Chicago, has decided
the new city ordinance, establishing a
vehicle tax, to be void. TIE ordinance
permitted the city to collect 81 a year
license from each bicycle owner and for
other vehicles proportionately. The de-
cision rightly holds that the municipality
has no right to tax bicycles, inasmuch as
they do not represent occupations to be
licensed for using the public streets. The
tax would, therefore, be discriminating
one on individuals. The same principle
would apply to a State tax, so that the
proposition put forth in New Jersey to
tax bicycle riders 81 per head annually,
the Newark Adoertiser holds, need not be
entertained.

Women and Funerals.

When our pioneer in Canada, Mrs.
Youmans, passed away, the bells of the
great oity of Toronto rang out the pen-
ple's sense of loss, and many flags were
at half mast. Why these manifestations
should not accompany the funeral exer.
cises of any woman who has wrought
nobly for her locality or for her country,
passes our power to understand
We also think women should be
among these who conduct the sacred
rites. When Miss Willard chose the
women friends nearest her mother as
honorary pail bearers, we were glad; and
that instead of darkeniug her home be-
cause that luminous spirit had departed,
she had the electric lights turned I'm at

NAMED 10 that loved home, and instead
of black Grape on the door knob, there
was beautiful bow of white, com bined
with evergreen twigs, from tIee that
was like Saint Courageous" native of
Vermont. 1t was lovely thing that
her birthplace and the homes where she
had trained her little ones sent bonghs
of cedar with which the grave was lined,
and that the last ones, except her own
nearest and dearest, who threw white
roses into her grave, were the Scsndina-
Wan women who had been helpers in the
house many years and whom she had
taught to read English. These are some
of the sweet 'home touches" that we
should like to see more generally intro
duced.
We speak of this funeral because We
know the details, and we feel sure that if
white ribboners from various localities
would send us accounts of the manner in
which the funerals of our comrades are
conducted, we should fiud many sugges-
tions that it would be pleasure to note
In what we have written, we desire to
disclaim the slightest intention of ignor-
ing our honored pastors and their
relation to these services. Our
president set right example whom she
arranged to have the public services of
her mother conducted by half a dozen
ministers, including her pastor, but at
the house they were chiefly by women.
Oar thought is that the participation of
women on these occasions would be in
the nature of an added help aud beauti-
full attraction, but not at all supsrseding
the desired ministratjons of the pastors.
So far as our observation goes, they have
always been most brotherly kind in
welcoming any help that women could
afford, and they have often invited the
W. G. 7. U. to sit together in tn,
church. walk together in the professions,
and in various ways to be an added
element of sympathy and tenderness 10
