.oung Widow. OF Veterans,

There are III widows of soldiers of
the war of 1872 drawing pensions nf IS
per month from the government pen
sion agency In Chicago, and there are
seventeen other agencies In the coun-
try, Although there are only fourteen
survivors of this war now living, there
are 3,9S7 Widows OF men who fought in
1872, drawing IS per month from the
government,
II do not want TO be understood as
saying that none OF these widows OF
1872 is deserving of the pension she
is drawing" said General Anderson,
United States pension agent at Chlca-
go, '"but this war closed eIghty-three
years ago, and these women must have
been very young when they were mar
ried.
There Is no question that there is n
great abuse of the pension laws by
young women who marry old soldiers
for no other reason than to live on the
pension money after the husbands are
dead BY this system of mercenary
marriages the pension list of the gov
eminent can be almost perpetuated,
There are now 100000 widows on the
pension rolls, and what proportion do
y0u suppose are old women-litelong
companions Of the veterans? You can't
tell; there Is no way OF finding this out
but the widows seem out OF proportion
to the veterans"

III
Philadelphia Times: The chief source
OF supply Of diamond back terrapln Is
Crlsneld, Somerset county, Nd More
terrapln are sent from there than all
other places along the Chesapeake Bay
combined, and the two great terrapln
ponds are located there. one grower at
Crlsheld, A. q, Riggin, has pond con-
taining over 10000 diamond back terra
pin. They are fed mashed hard crab,
and the scene at feeding time is de-
scrlbed as very interesting, the space
covered by the pond being less than an
acre, and the feeding being done at low
tide affords fine opportunity for view
ing the reptiles. There are other pond
keepers In the vicinity who buy all the
terrapln that are caught In the neigh
borhood, and even Increase their sup
ply from North Carolina.
A very good terrapin, but not equal
to the eastern shore variety, comes
from the shores OF Pamllco and Abe
marie sounds. The ponds are inclosed
in board fence with stout wire
screens to let the tide flow In and out,
The propagation of terrapin IS not very
rapid Females lay twelve 10 twenty
eggs during the period Of incubation 50

young annually. The taste and demand

The reason assigned by the Statist
for this large excess OF imports into
Great Britain over exports is that the
credit OF the United States has been 90
impaired by the agitation OF the silver
question that capital is not seeking in
yestment In American enterprises; bur,
on the contrary, is being Withdrawn, II
Is to meet this constant withdrawal OF
money, the Statist claims, that SO large
an increase In the products shipped 20
Great Britain is due,
According to the Statlst, therefore, the
unfavorable trade balance shown by
the figures, is In no sense actually un-
favorable, except in so FAR as 1t iadl-
