remarriage On the other hand. 40, 991
new claims were allowed. so that the
number of pensions stood on June 80
last at 991,519. The decrease in eX
penditure during the year was much
more marked, the total falling from
S144, 65l ,0C0 in 1928 TO Sl3S, 253 600 in
1889. This last is the smallest sum
Gisbursed since the new conditions
created by the dependent act have had
TO be faced. and reasonable assurance
of further natural Shrinkage IN the
annual expenditures is to be found in
the fact that $4,000, 900 less were paid
out last year than three years ago,
when the list of pensioners was fully
q 900 shorter than it is today. How
slight an addition to pension burdens
the war with Spain will make may be
guessed from the statement that, al
though 1886 claims have been filed
for disabilities incurred in that brief
contest. only 295 have so far been
passed on favorably. Altogether, the

In 1896 Mohammed Bahia usurped
the crown of Grenada, in spite of the
superior claims of his elder brother
Jussef. He was very unsuccessful in
his conduct of the war against the
Christians and was at length assas-
sinated by poison absorbed through the
skin from a shirt. He entertained a
desperate dislike to the brother whom
he had injured, and when he knew that
his own fate was sealed ne sent an
order TO the governor of the prison in
which Jussef was confined that he
should be executed Immediately. When
the order arrived Jussef was playing
chess with the chaplain Of the prison.
With great difficulty Jussef obtained a
respite from the governor permitting
him to finish the game. Before it was
ended, however, news came that the
usurper had died of the poison. This
Cancelled the order of execution and
Jussef. instead of going to the scaffold,
mounted the throne.

PROVERBS BY WILLIAM BLAKE

Expect poison from the standing wa
ter.
Without contraries is not progress
sion.
To create a little flower is the labor
of ages.
What is now proved was once only
imagined
He who desires but acts not breeds
pestilence
Listen to the fools reproach. 1t is a
kingly title.
If others had not been foolish We
should be so.
Eternity is in love with the produc-
tions of time.
No bird scars too high, if he scars
with his own wings.
If the fool would persist in his folly
he would become wise.
Truth can never be told so as to be
understood and not be believed.
The roaring of lions, tho bowling OF
wolves, the raging of the stormy sea.
and the destructive sword are portions
of eternity too great for the eye Of
man.

suspect contained poison. He put the
cake aside and set all his powerful

GUIDE POSTS OF a BLIND MAN
His Feet and Nose Pilot Him Through
the Streets of a City.

From the New Orleans Times Demo
crat: There is a blind man living in
the heart of the old quarter who walks
nearly every day to little restaurant
near Canal street. The distance each
way is from sixteen to twenty blocks,
according to the route. and to see him
sauntering carelessly along one would
never suspect his infirmity. Talking
with an inquisitive reporter, he de-
clared that he saw his nose and feet,
and this was the way he explained it:
When man has 20 sight" he said
the smells OF the street are all mixed
up. but when he's blind he learns to
separate them. The smells of the
shops are almost as plain to me now
as the signs used to be over the doors.
Some of them you would hardly sup
pose to exist. Take a dry goods store.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Every woman is a good actress till
she goes on the stage
There is one thing a woman never
can understand, and that is herself.
When the devil had his choice as to
instruments he first picked jealousy.
If they were named anything else a
woman would have just as queer a look
in her face when she talked about her
legs.
If there weren't any bad men to be
horrible examples, probably there
wouldn't be any good women to be
shining examples.
Every racy story a man hears he
acts like it was old to him and every
woman like it was new to her, and
both are making believe.
When man can make a woman be-
lieve that he can't help thrilling at her
voice she feels she has to marry him
SO that she can turn the current on
whenever she feels like it,
The difference between a woman and
a cat is that when you tease the cat
you know she'll scratch you, but when
it's a woman you never know whether
she'll kiss you or tear your eyes out

Locomotive Runs.

During the past few months, the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad has ma
terially extended the runs of the pas
senger locomotives on through trains
Formerly engines were changed on an
average every 100 or $50 miles 1t was
thought that the mountain grades of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad would
prevent an extension of the runs How
ever, the experiment was made. 1t has
proved successful and reduced the
number of locomotives formerly re-
quired by Iwenty-four. which can be
used in other branches of the service
and save the purchase of more motive
power. Under the new plan lOcOmo-
tives are double crewed and make from
1000 TO 5000 miles month. as against
$500 TO 1000 under the former method.

A GOOD MEMORY.
Had the Clerk, and These Cousins Were
Refused a License.

Joliet Qll) Cor Chicago Record:
March IA last County Clerk Hutchin-
son received letter from Mrs. Elsie
NJ. Richey, of Gallon, Ohio, stating that
she expected that her daughter Elsie
and the daughters first cousin, Will
liam Richey, would apply for a mar
riage license in Joliet She wished the
clerk to refuse to issue a license. The
clerk kept the letter for future refer
ence. The other day the cousins ap-
piled for a license. When Richey first
asked for a license the clerk thought
he remembered the name, and then he
got the old letter Holding this in his
hand the clerk asked Richey: Are
you related?' 'No, sir" was the an
swer. rs there any reason why you
should not be married according to the
laws of IllinOiS?" Again the same an
swer. will you swear that your
father and Miss Richey's were not

knew that first cousins may not marry
in Illinois and fed with his cousin.
Across the face of the application is
written in red ink: License not is
sued" The young couple went to Chi
