REMARKABLE WAR WIDOW.

one of the curiosities of the United
States pension service is the astonsh-
ing survival of war widows. The re-
port OF the United States Commission
er of Pensions, just issued, shows some
remarkable and interesting facts in re-
gard to the longevity of the widow OF
soldiers. For instance, while there is
not a single soldier OF the War OF the
Revolution alive today, there are. still
surviving and drawing pensions twelve
widows and daughters Of soldiers of
the revolution. OF the War Of 1912 there
are only three soldiers still alive, but of
their widows there are surviving and
drawing pensions the astonishing num-
Der OF 2407.
The War of the Revolution closed in
1888 and a period Of lis years has clap
sed and while there are no male sur
vivors. .there are still some OF their wild
ows alive. This state Of affairs can only
be possible on the ground that some of
the soldiers. after they had attained
old age. married young wives. The War
Of lSi2-14 closed with the battle Of New
Orleans. on January s, 1916, eighty
three years ago. Supposing that the
youngest soldiers were Is years old.
period OF 10l years has elapsed since
the birth of such soldiers. Evidently
many Of them. after they were old,
married young women, so that. al
though all the men but three are dead.
they have left behind more than 20OC
widows.

THE DICTIONARY BRIDE.

temperance advocate has found that
Dr. Murray. under the head of "Ab-
staining" quoted an example of the
adjectival use Of the word from pam
phlct. Clerical Testimony on Total
Abstinence" published i'm 1867, in which
the present Bishop OF Carlisle stated
that "a certain bride was the daugh-
ter Of an abstaining clergyman" who
was the bride? The temperance advo-
cate hunted up the original pamphlet
and found that she was a Miss Grundy,
daughter Of the Rev. George II. Grun-
dy, vicar of Hey, near Oldham, and
that II was one of the bishops own
brothers whom she married The
bishop then plain DR.. Bardsley. said
In his testimony that he was the eldest
of seven sons. all OF them brought up
as total abstaners. He then added.
"To some readers who, upon occasions
Of family festivities. have been per-
picked by their abstaininG principles
10 may not be uninteresting to learn
that when, recently, one OF the seven
entered the happy state of matrlmony
the bride was the daughter OF an alb
staining clergyman. Here then. was
difficulty Should the wedding day
be regarded ~ an exception and lit
tie laXity allowed? The question was
decided i'm the negative. and, notwith-
standing such little protests as to such
a thing having never been heard of
before and the fear as Co what that
mythical parsonage Mrs Grundy would
say. the wedding was conducted on
total abstinence principles"

Doubters OF the success Of the

as well as q financial standpoint deny
that the poor man goes TO the liquor
saloon for sociability. as his rich
brother goes to the club. The prime
object that leads the poor man or the
rich man TO go TO "A saloon. IL is main
tanned. is to get drink, The indul-
gence Of the social instinct is only n
secondary consideration. AS the rich
man does not go To his club primarily
to get a drink, but for sociability. so
the poor man may patronlze the Squir-
rel Inn FOR soclability. and. either be-
fore or after. go To the saloon next
door as usual 20 get drink. Never
theless the prevailing opinion seems 10
be that the experiment is well worth

back the institution IL ought not TO
