 A statement given out this week by the commissioner of pensions shows that the total number of claims filed on account of the war with Spain is 43,874, and that 3,525 of them had been granted up to May 31. For the eleven months ending on that date 466 pen sions were granted on account of wars previous to the civil war, and 35,3OS on account of the civil war. The fiscal year ending June 30 will show an in crease in the total number of names on the pension rolls over the previous year, but the exact figures are not yet available. The commissioner of pen sions says that the adjudication of original claims, which were from Q year and half to two years and a half behind four years ago, will be up to date by the first of July.

NOTES FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

At the housefurnishing counters are found small utensils to take out the eyes of pineapples-a useful ad- dition to the list of kitchen tools. < Carafes and water bottles may be kept bright by the use of handful of fine ashes mixed with the soapy water in which they are washed.
 The newest method of finishing the corners of sofa pillows is with a large oval button. The button is made of wood covered with the same material as the pillow and the edges of the pillow are finished without ruffie or cord.
 To clean benares work or any chased brass goods, the following formula is recommended: Wash in hot soap and water and dry thor oughly. Cut a lemon in half and with it rub the brass. When it looks clean, rinse in warm water, dry and then polish we'll with chamois. Chased work should never be cleaned with any kind of powder. <
 "Veneering sawdust," which can be obtained of any furrier, wet ill gaso- ly into the furs will clean them per- fectly. Clean sand just hot enough to be borne in the hand is also em- ployed in the same way. The furs should be beaten we'll after cleaning, and should receive a thorough airing. They should not, however, be kept in the sun for any length of time, lest they fade.

SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1901.

Consumption will hereafter be con- sidered a dangerous contagious dis ease'' by United States immigration officials and consumptive immigrants will not be admitted to this country. Orders to that effect have been sent out by T. V. Powderly, United States commissioner of immigration. It has been the custom to admit consump- tives except in cases where the disease was in an advanced stage. The orders were issued as the result of a ruling by the supervising silrgeon-general of the Maine hospital service, that tu- berculosis of the lungs is now consid- cred dangerous contagious disease"

It is hardly necessary, says Henry Clews in his weekly letter, to note the hopeful conditions connected with the crop prospects, the prosperous condi- ton of home trade, the abundance of our exports and,the closing of war con ditiohs in the Philippines The present range of prices much more than dis counts anything warranted by condi- tions of that character The all-con- trolling factor is the extraordinary rail- road situation and especially the ne- cessity arising therefrom for the pro- curement of large masses of stock for a special and transient purpose. There in lies the force and direction of the market. It has created a set of momen- tary conditions extraordinarily condu- ciye to speculations and has already produced an elevation of prices far above the normal or what can be ex- pected to prove permanent. Yet, as matters now stand, it is quite possible that values may rise still higher and may retain the artificial advance for some moderate time to come. Three percent return upon common stocks of railroads cannot be counted upon as satisfactoryf or permanency, and in- yestors may be expected to turn their attention later on to more remunerative investments.
 The present market affords great fa- cilities for getting long of stocks, as those who now hold them have them Cor sale, but those who buy at the pres ent range of prices I advise to get out with great celerity on the rallies.

That statesmen are but schoolboys grown up has been once more shown by the rejoicing of senators and repre- sentatives over the decision of the president not to call a summer session of congress to legislate for the Philip pines. They do not, of course, admit that their principal objection to an ex- tra session was that it would interfere with their plans for enjoying the sum- mer. It is part of the education of a statesman to learn not to give him. self away. They give all sorts of req sons, but probably the one given the oftenest is that Washington Is so dis agreeable and unhealthy in summer. The 25O,000 people who live in Wash ington all the summer every year can testify to the stiffness of that excuse, and the health reports of the city will back them up. It is warIif in Wash ington in summer, but not so warm as in other large cities, and it is far healthier than many so-called health resorts. 1t was good thing on gen. eral principles that the administration saw it's way clear to avoid an extra session of congress--extr sessions are seldom beneficial to the country, and more than one have been injurious. It would also be good thing on gen. eral principles that statesmen should occasionally have to work all the year round, as so many others have to do.

 The Quarrel On either side of the log they sit, Where the flames on the hearthstone faro
 and fit.
 Nook and corner are growing dark, For the candle has burned to it's final spark, And the fire is almost ashes. Straight and stiff in each high-backed
 chair,
 Just as the quarrel left them there; While their separate shadows rise and fall Each by itself on the wainscot wall,
 And the fire burns down to ashes. Up and down with the f1ickering flame, Ever the same-yet not the same! Nearer and nearer the shadows sway, As the dying pine-knot drops away
 And the fire goes out in ashes. Fitfully down from the wainscot wall The last faint flashes glimmer and fall. The wavering shadows blend In one, And the foolish quarrel Is over and done As the fire dies out in ashes! Blanche Trennor Heath, in Detroit Free
 Press.

His Dad1x,s Eves.

 He is little, my lad. scarce four years old-- A mischievous Imp when all Is told, For he plays all day at Buffalo Bill And brags of the reds he means to kill. While growing up. in the joyous belief or some day meeting an Indian chief, He startles the house with his Wild West cries,
 Then he looks at me with his daddy's eyes. He is not what you'd call handsome lad, For his nose is snub and his teeth are had, While his hair is stubby and worse, it's red, And freekles all over his face are spread; But his mouth is firm and his heart is true He Is my little man and he knows it,stoo, For he's strans clever and more than
 wise,
 And hs looks at me with his daddy's eyes. So worship him for the heart he wears Beneath his jacket Of dirt and tears. And only see a brow that is fair With . world Of truth meath the tawny
 hair.
 Whils I reverence him for the soul that is
 hid So white and pure meath the clear eyelid. Yet stronger than all my love doth rise When he looks at me with his daddy's eyes. Meta L. Pierson, in Washington Home

THE SALT CURE.

The efficienc y of common salt in slim
ulating heart action was demonstrated
in remarkable manner by DR.. W. q
Kumler in Hamilton, Ohio, on Sunday.
DR. Kumler was called to attend Mar
Gus Sauer, G. years old, who has been
long sufferer from dropsy. He found
the patient apparently dead. All symp
toms Immediately following dissolution,
cold ertremities, absence Of respiration,
heart action and pulse were manifest.
DR.. Kulmer resolved to try the salt so
luton as final resort. At 81 p. m.
he injected quantity of warm water,
containing Is per cent of salt in the left
arm. In twenty seconds there were
signs OF pulse and it was plain that
circulation was being revived. In 25
minutes a second hypodermic was ad-
ministered, this time In the branch Of
the brachial artery, in the upper left
arm in 20 minutes from the second in
lection respiration was full and ryth-
NAL. Color returned to the patients
face and he recovered consciousness and
asked for food. Nourlshment in the
form of broth was administered and

PROGRESSIVE POETRY SOCIAL.

Complimentary to Messrs. Ed and
Charlie Stephens, brothers of the host.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Stephens enter
tanned at Progressive Poetry social
on last Thursday evening. Fourteen
couples occupied the different tables ar
ranged for their reception, which were
supplied with subjects" as a guide to
their poetic sentiments. Cards bearing
the name of each of the players. and to
which was attached bunch of violets
tied with ribbon of the same hue, desig-
mated their proper places at the tables,
and proved also pretty souvenirs of the
occasion. The commingling Of poetic
thought, though quite beyond ones
ability to describe or reproduce. justly
merited the praise and laughter it re-
ceived. Altogether the merry partici-
pants seemed never to have enjoyed
themselves more. Delicate refreshments
were served. while Emusic enchanting"
filed the evening hours. As pleasant
reminder or the occasion to the absent
one" we recall The Old Maids Wish"
