We have a communication, OH the above
subject, from one OF our readers who ap-
pears TO be under the impression that the
individual civil service pension benefits,
proposed under the Tawney and Bro
sius bills, will be confined TO re-
suits from the contributory powers of
each beneficiary; that is, that each
pensioner Will only share in what he
has contributed to the fund This is
not the idea at all. The whole mass of
civil service officeholders Will contribute
annually, and the age and accident pro-
visions. il is presumed, will make the
number OF benefIciaries at any given time,
after the system begins 10 operate, a com
paratively small one The mathematical
estimates cannot now be given, but it is
understood that tie House Committee on
Reform in the Civil Service has applied 10
the Treasury Depa rtment to have the actu-
arial ssldy and statemenrmade. As soon
as that is completed The Times expects TO
be able TO present the facts.

wOMAN'S VEAL.

There is not an improvement in the
arts, the facilities or the comforts Of
modern life that does not bring to light
a cloud of doubling Thomases, as numerous
as the animals Of the same name that
throng to back shed, upon which tincture
of valcrian has been poured with wicked
intent
The advent Of the bicycle, and its nearly
universal adoption as the winged steed OF
both sexes in the cities of this country,
has not proved an exception to the rule.
Especially upon the question of its moral,
physical, and ethical adaptability to gen
eral use by women has the bike been
subjected TO much doubt and criticism.
ii has made its way to such an extent
and is so widely accepted as a matter OF
course. that the few objectors left have
mostly abandoned other opposition, and
have fallen back upon the theory that
bicycle exercise is too vigorous, and strain
ing to the vitality and nerves to be com
mended for female Indulgence.
Data and conclusions presented to the
American Statistical Society by the sec
retary OF the Massachusetts Board Of
Health are calculated to knock any such
opinion on the head. 1t appears that,
formerly, the mortality from pulmonary
diseases in the Bay State WAS much greater
among women than men. In 1851 the
deaths were in the proportion OF l,451
women to 900 men. It has been noticed
that a uniform reduction in the death rate
from this cause among the gentIer sex
began about five years ago, coincidently
with their general adoption of bicycle
exercise. In 1895, for the first time
since records have been kept, fewer women
than men died from consumption in Massa-
ehusetts: the ratio being stated as 974 TO
900

Most Valuable SPOTS on Earth

price any one Of these might bring in the

it is so convenient a theory. Evidently the
line will have TO be drawn somewhere,
and the person who draws it will have a
difficult and delicate task. There are
cases in which a person of weak or
sensitive temperament may be SO com
pletely under the influence of another as
TO be unable to do anything OF his own
will, and how are the courts to decide
now rar sucn person is morally and
legally responsible?

Congressman Delivers Apology

Congressman Dolliver of Iowa, says the
Chicago Times Herald, as everyone by this
tine knows, is the author of the now IA
nous phrase, advance agent Of prosperity,
as applied to Major Mckinley. Impatient
men are fond OF writing letters TO Mr.
Dollver, asking him when the show is
tocome along. They have seen the advance
agent, but the main attraction seems To
be lost by the way. To one such cor
respondent, resident of Calhoun county,
Iowa, Mr. Dolliver replied to tile folio wing
effect:
1. Major Mckinley is not yet President.
g 1t takes long time to get out Of
SUCH a condition as the country has been
in for several years.
g. You know you can go out to He'll
Slough in your county and get SO deep in
it before breakfast that you can't get out

HYPNorIsM AND MARRIAGE.

A singular case Of hypnotism has just
come TO light in New Jersey Mrs Adel-
held Lowe, wife Of Ira Lowe, says that
she was induced by hypnotic Influence Ia
convey to her husband a half interest in
S24 600 worth of property. and she also
thinks that it was some influence of this
kind which caused her to marry him The
marriage was brought about by the aid Of
marriage broker, who told Lowe that if
he wanted a wife the lady in question was
3 widow with nine children 1.-THE eldest be
ing attractive looking girls, and that she
owned property. The wooing prospered.
and before the marriage took place an ante
Duptial agreement was drawn up giving
Lowe one-half Of the real estate in ques-
tion. After the marriage Lowe proceeded
Go pawn everything that could be lifted
without derrick and did other unpleasant
things, and in one OF his frequent absences
Mrs. Lowe came to the conclusion that
nothing but hypnotism could explain the
folly she had committed
or couise, there have been cases known
before in which the influence OF wife
over husband or husband over wife could
not be accounted for on any sane and ra-
tional grounds but this has usually been
put down to the many vagaries and queer
nesses Of tile marriage relation. 1t is only
Of late that the aid Of hypnotism has been
suspected in such cases, and perhaps this
is partly due TO the fact that all sorts of
things are likely TO be set down as hypnotic

Richmond public school concluded that

seven years old, and hung them to one

Kinley to select a high grade" business
man for recorder OF deeds and not give the

the story goes, appoint any man to the Of

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield
AT night when the sun went down.
One held a lock of thin gray hair
And one held q lock Of brown
One thought Of his sweetheart back at
home,
Happy and young and gay,
And one of his mother left alone,
Feeble and old and gray.
Each in his thought that woman cared,
Murmured a prayer to God,
Lifting his gaze to the blue above,
There on the battle sod.
Each in the joy of woman's love
Smiled through the pain OF death,
MurInured the sound of a womans name,
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips of each,
Then, as the sun went down,
One kissed q lock of thin gray hair,
And one kissed a lock ofbrown.
