..,,. v,,xy AND mrxp-READING.

Mind reading has developed wonderfully
since tho blowing up Of the Maine Ihere-
,oeorc q vos necessary for the mind reader
10 no IN contact with his subject. Now
however. separation. even by great dis
lance doesn't make any difference. MOI
only the special correspondents at Ha-
hana bnt those at Key West and at
washington. find no difficulty in reading
tho minds OF Consul General Lee, Cap
tain sigsbee, and the members OF the
BOARD of Inquiry. charged with invest-
eating the Maine disaster.
The several corps of mind readers sta
toned at Habana, Key West, and Wash
ington, respectively, transmit to their
papers each day most interesting and
generally very exciting readings of the
thoughts OF the several subjects referred
TO above Il is true that the readers do
not read the minds of the subjects alike,
and II is also true that a careful oxami-
nation Of the reports of the readers
tends 10 indicate that no one of the sub
iects knows his own mind for thirty con-
secutive minutes. Indeed examination
and comparison Of the reports show that
the subjects are in a most confused state
Of mind. and the operation of examina-
ton and comparison leaves the public
mind in a similar state.
OF course, we would not for moment
lscredit the accuracy of the work Of the
readers. or imagine for moment that
hey had gotten their own imaginings
mixed with the thoughts and opinions OF
heir subjects yet, in view of the serious
ness Of the situation, 1t might be well to
make assurance double sure by waiting
word Of confirmation from the subjects,

Another surgical Triumph.

New York Herald)
The sawed off his arms and his legs,
They took out his jugular vein;
They put fancy frills on his lungs,
And they deity extracted his brain,
Twas triumph of surgical skill,
Such as was never heard of till then;
Twas the subject of lectures before
Conventions of medical men.
The news of this wonderful thing
Was heralded far and wide
But as for the patient there's nothing to
say,
Except, of course, that he died.

Our pension list, says the New York
Tribune, exceeds all Germany's army
cost by more than 100000 a year, and
is $50. 100000 more than that of France
Only Russias military expenditures upon
her giant army. patrolling Europe and
Asia from the Baltic to the Yellow Sea,
exceed the sum which, thirty years after
the close of the war, we still annually
pay oyer to our pensioners. Russia's
military burden, all told, is, the Tribune
continues, SIG, $4,000, and our pension list
is not quite equal to that, but, with the
cost Of our small army of 5000 men
added, the aggregate exceeds it.
These facts and figures have been print
ed several times, but they should be kept
steadily before the public view in the
hope that they will finally awaken the
masses to a full realization of the enor-
nifty of the pension iniquity and create
an irresistible demand for reform.
