Good gracious." said the girl with the
ice cream soda, looking shocked. What
did she do?"
"Well," went on the chocolate grl, "they
told her she couldn't take the baby without
check, and shed have to wait till the other
babies were taken away, and then she could
have what was left. So she waited for hours
and hours, till all the babies were gone but
one, and when she went to get that-well,
the only baby left was colored baby"
"Oh how perfectly awful exclaimed
the girl with the ice cream soda, in accents
of horror "What did she do? Wasn't she
perfectly frantic? My goodness, how hor-

Pensions Failing on.

The auditor has received reports from
nearly all the chancery clerks in the
State on pension disbursements under
the new law requiring the auditor to
distribute the fund through the clerks
and county treasurers. The reports
show some interesting statistics. In
every case where there has been money
returned the pcnsioner has either died
or removed. And as there are two
grades of pensions under the last dis
tribution-one ST. and the other SO
it is impossible to make an accurate es-
innate of the exact number of pension
ers who did not claim their money. The
old Confederate soldiers are dropping
off very fast, The reports are for the
pension distri button of last year. 1897.
In that year the auditor sent out total
of S14,970 and the amounts reported
back as unclaimed aggregate s., 45a.07.
This goes back into the pension fund.
There are about twenty counties which
have not yet reported, and it is proba-
Bile that in such counties the pension
money was all claimed.

To avoid being overlooked 1t is often
necessary to cover the clear glass OF a
window. Paper cut out In designs viii
often prove sufficient protection. but
should some denser means OF obscura-
tion be required proceed as follows:
Melt some clean gum arabic with hot
water to form very thick mucilage
and set the pot in which the mucilage
was melted at the back of the stove,
where it should remain all day and
night, so that the contents may prac-
tically stew. Next morning place the
jar I'm basin of hot water and mix into
the mucilage a quantity of EPSON salts
to approximate with the amount OF
gum arabic originally melted. Stir un-
til the salts are dissolved: then. still
leaving the Jar in warm water. begin to
paint the mixture over the window
panes with fiat camers hair brush.
Apply evenly, and as the gum dries a
crystalline appearance Will be given 10
the glass. which will make a sufficient
protection against outside observation,
while IL will in no degree darken the
interior Of the room.
