ENCOURAGING.

The annual report of the Commis- soner of Pensions is encouraging to those who have been afraid that the country would be swamped by the pen- sion list. It appears that of the total of SAC, 100000 appropriated $1,S57 ,1SS re- mains in the treasury, and that the pen sioners now number 991,519, a decrease of 2,195 during the last year There were 34,345 deaths,
 Of course the Yanko-S -Spanko war and the war in the Philippines will figure from now on in the pension list, but even with the additions from those sources the list may be expected to de- crease rapidly That is, unless the war in the Philippines grows longer and lar ger, and unless we get into some new wars that will require large armies.

foreign element to trust to the trains. Railroads have opened all the east of London, and short, cheap ride will take people to districts where the air is comparatively pure and rent is com- paratively low, and yet the congestion was never worse. To increase the trou- ble of poor tenants incoming lodgers are called upon to pay sums varying be- tween S2,5O and $50 as a premium for the privilege of entry upon premises often unsanitary, always small and never worth what they cost The true condition of the housing problem in the east end of London can be realized when one is told that small houses with ten or twelve rooms are let to bring in some $1,000 year, and at that terrible rate are eagerly sought after by the poorest of the poor, content with one room for an entire family.

4EMpERAyCE SALOONS.


 It is an interesting theory that there
 are many men who do not frequent sa- l looms chiefly on account of the strong drink to be had in them, but on account
 of the light, the warmth, the company and the free lunch. And the theory IS
 that such men can be kept from strong
 drink if they can have the saloons With out the drink. So temperance saloons in which tea is the drink have been started in New York, and temperance saloons are to be opened in Chicago in the fall but their distinctive bever-
 age is to be coffee and not tea, as in New York. The work is to be under taken by the Young Peoples Temper
 last February, largely as a result of Countess Schmmelmann's efforts in the
 city, and has already acquired a very large membership. Its aim is practical and business-like methods in the temperance propaganda, and it is having the support of many moneyed men in Chicago. Ten saloons are to be established next month, and 1t is hoped to double that number soon thereafter. There is to be nothing of the charitable quality about the saloons, and no sug- gestion of ministerial oversight in their management. They will be like other saloons, save in the absence of intoxi- eating drinks. They are to have bar of the orthodox type, with good free lunch and will dispense coffee, tea, lem onade and other temperance drinks The customers will be privileged to loi- ter so long as they are orderly, and may read or play games, and in the cold weather they may remain all night if they are homeless. It is not the inten- ton of the federation to operate the sa- looms directly itself It will arrange so that it has the ultimate control of the way the places are conducted, and it against loss in the first months of their business, but apart from that each place will be in private hands In most cases the proprietors will provide their own fixtures and receive all the profits. In their relations with the federation in return for the guarantee against loss federation or to whom it selects when ever that organiza ton thinks the places are improperly conducted.

 Any woman who intends to wear white shoes or hats in the country should take a ball of chalk with her. White duck or canvas tennis shoes can be scrubbed clean with ammonia water and soap, but they wont be white till they have been well chalked. An elab- crate white paste comes that can be put on with brush, but ordinary chalk will do. A white felt outing hat will look the better for being rubbed with white chalk on a bit of flannel and then brushed with fresh piece of flannel. Even from a white broadcloth dress spot can usually be coaxed by rubbing with very fine ground table salt spread on a soft flannel or bit of cha mois
 A triple cloth skirt appears in this picture because it was found on new model of stylish makers, not because it is expected that many women will welcome such draperies. It's goods was pale gray cloth, the band trimming be- ing darker gray folds. White cloth ap- peared in waistcoat and revers, the lat ter embroidered in the wo shades of gray. It will be noticed that even with the triple overskirts the hips outlines were adhered to pretty closely. If skirt draperies go no farther than this there will not be much reason for complaint. It. however, such skirts are forerun- ners of looping, draping and punching, women should avoid them like a plague.

OIL ON ROADS.

| Encouraging reports concerning the l use of oil on roads come from Florida
 and California In California, the su- 1 pervisors of Los Angeles county recent been sprinkled with oil, and found them in excellent condition. A mile stretch at Alhambra, sprinkled once a year ago, had no dust and riding over it is described as Hike riding on rubber" In Florida the experiments were in Du-
 val county, where roads made of shell rock had been greatly damaged by heavy travel, which ground the surface fine the wind blowing it away. A sec tion of new road of Volusia shell at Jacksonville was sprinkled with oil six weeks ago At first there was mo- tceable odor, but this soon passed away The surface was united in solid mass which became more com- pact with travel; the road was smooth and crowned, and rain and moisture did not penetrate, but ran off, forming no mud. Sun heat had no effect on it, and where the oil was applied less thickly the surface was slightly ground up, but remained on top without blow ing away. It is now proposed to cover one mile of road with oil, at a cost of $27S for 25 foot width.
 Good roads, well oiled, are both signs ornd 1n1aa nS of nrOpreSS.

4 POPULAR GENERA L..

l General Otis is apparently not very "popular'' with those under him, but l that doesn't show that he isn't good | soldier. The Washington Post points l out that George B. Mcclellan was the | most competent general judged by the | opinion of the men under him, who had any important command on the Union | side during our great war. Not only the commissioned officers but the enlisted | men, with few exceptions, believed him | to be invincible, in spite of repeated and most disastrous failures They believed l in him long after his final removal from command, but we look in vain now in any direction for evidence of the sur vival of that faith Impartial history will credit him with great skill in en- small force effectively in action, but will
 not represent him as a capable com
 mander of an army. Leaving out of
 account the unfortunate peninsular
 campaign, and confining judgment to
 the campaign that eliminated at Antie-
 tam the honest historian will find Me-
 Clellan's army moving at the average
 rate of six miles day over good roads.
 while 12,00O Union troops were penned
 up at Harper's Ferry and compelled to
 surrender. When, on the afternoon of
 September 16, McClellan's army, minus
 10000 tragglers-overcome by the strain of -miles-a day march-was getting
 into position for the battle of the next
 day, it's spirits were enthused by the sight of 12,000 men from Harper's Ferry,
 disarmed, paroled and going home to
 wait until exchanged. As to the battle
 of September 17, it was, like the whole of Gaul, divided into three parts"- Hooker on the right, fighting his battle in the morning. Sumner in the center, occupying the middle of the day. Both of those engagements were successful in repellng the enemy. In the afternoon Burnside held his fight on the Union left, and it was far less successful. The confederates used against Burnside many of the organizations that Sumner and Hooker had repulsed. But neither Sumner nor Hooker was drawn upon for the support of Burnside. Nor was any call made upon the splendid reserve, consisting mostly of regulars As fit ting finale to the series of blunders, the | confederate army crossed the river uu- while our great army rested. | Even after all that McClellan's mon l adored him and believed him second Napoleon.
 This is fair statement of the case. It is also true that General Grant wasn't a very popular General.

A writer in an English magazine has written an article picturing the aver age Englishman not from any study of life or experience but entirely from sta- tistics obtained from official sources. MT. Sproggett is the name assigned to the typical representative of his race. He is five feet seven inches in height and 150 pounds in weight. He can pull seventy pounds when in the attitude of drawing the long bow, and his chest girth is no less than thirty-six inches. He has been working in a mill since he was il years old. He is now 29 years old and will die at the age of 6S. From his income of about $6 a week he spends more than half on food and drink nearly one-seventh for rent, about 25 cents a week for fuel, 60 cents for clothes and about cents a week each for taxes, tobacco and medicine.
