HE DIDN'T GET A PENSION,
The Old Soldier Who Had the Rheu-
mnttsm Very Badly.

"utas" very 0dUly.
Three veterans were discussing the
failure of one of them to secure pen
sion. They sat in the front end of a
street car. 1t was one of Washington s
cold, drizzly days, when even the strong
and healthy feel as though they needed d
medicine.
''The medical board refused to recon-
mend ME, and 1 have the rheumatism
very bad. But it's bad day to 90 out to
be examined"
"A bad day to be examined for pen
sion on account of rheumatism re-
marked the one-legged veteran. "Why,
it's just the right kind of day. Any
fellow could have rheumatism to-day
and a veteran like you ought to have
been SO rheumatic that any medical
board would put you through. What
did they say to you?"
''They told me to run
Told you to run. did they; and what t
did you say to that?'

INTER- MADE OF IVORY.
unique Present Received by the
Bishop of London,

There has just been presented to the
bishop of London miter which is the
only one of its kind in the world. 1t is
of FURNISHED ivory, with gold orphreys
On the plaques or plates are written in
pure leaf gold the words: "Holiness to
the Lord" in Hebrew, Greek, Latin and
English. These words, it will be re-
membered. were ordered to be written
on Aaron's miter-as it is described in
Exodus $3.50. The Hebrew and the
English are on the front plates. The
lining is of crimson corded silk and the
lapels are the same, covered with cloth
of gold, each bearing Greek cross of
thin ivory. Otherwise there is no
adronment whatever. and the effect
generally is at once plain and rich.
The shapes of miters have varied
through the ages. There seems to be
little doubt that the original linen miter
prescribed for Aaron was fillet of
linen. But in Exodus 80 it is ordered:
Thou shalt put the miter upon mis-
head, and put the holy crown upon the
inter-" So that the effect of the orig
inal high priests miter was that of a
fillet with crown superposed. And so
it has been since the Christian church
adopted miters-there has been the
fillet and the crown. In the eastern
church the crown has almost concealed
the fillet.
Miters in the west have been of va
rious shapes. The papal tiara is thrice
crowned inter. The Celtic and old Eng
lish form is much lower than that pre-
vailing generally in the west. The best
known type of the former is the Linn
erick miter-whose lines have been here
followed-which has been engraved
times untold. Miters have been of linen,
Of silk, of gold and silver, and all these
plain or jeweled. 1t does not appear to
have occurred to anybody until this
year to make one of ivory. Unexpected
difficulties arose, but they were over
come by little ingenuity and care.

The most remarkable bit of calcula-
ton ever done by human being is that
attributed to the famous British astron-
omer, Prof. Adams. The scientist had
observed certain peculiar perturbatt ions
of the planet Uranus. He could explain
the phenomenon only by the presence
OF another great planet, unknown to
science, somewhere in the heavens.
Then began the figuring" referred to.
When the calculation had been COM
pleted DR.. Gale, of Berlin, pointed his

When we reached the one occupied by
Charles Day we found woman in his
bed and his convict suit lying on the
floor. 1t didn't take five minutes to
grasp the situation. Miss Day had
given up her apparel to the convict, and
he had walked out with Miss Lancaster
Miss Day was Miss Somebody else,
who had been paid $1,000 to do the
trick, and Miss Lancaster was the pal
of one of the boldest robbers in America.
