ONE of the heaviest drains upon
the revenue derived by the govern
ment from taxation of the people Is
the pension system, the abuse of
which has been great and would
have been greater, but for the
watchfulness of the present Com
missioner, who has saved the
country an immense sum by turning
down unjust claims, worked up by
attorneys for the sole purpose of
collecting fees. The pension laws

Her termination was a Handleap.

Not more than month ago the
keeper of a. boarding house retired
from business after having acquired
comfortable competency in the course
Of about twenty years. During that
period her house became well known
in the city and among the women in
her own business. She never realized
how well it was until she set out to
find a place to live in herself.
She applied first at the house kept
by a woman nearly as well known as
herself, only to learn that there was no
no room for her. 1t was not until she
had been through the same experience
several times that she came to under
stand that she was not wanted in the
establishments of her former rivals.
Her reputation for keeping 4 fine
house was too much for the other
women, who did not want to submit to
the scrutiny of a former boarding
house keeper who had made a reputa-
ton and a fortune in the business.
She learned after going to a hotel
where her record could not be used
against her that she was not the only
woman who had found it difficult to
get into a boarding house after having
kept one of her own. When they gre
well known, it is practically impossi-
Bile for such women to find quarters,
for whatever her reasons may be, the
landlady does not like to shelter her
kind.-New York Sun.

Some years ago l followed a party of
tourists around the tower, and heard
one of the "beefeaters" who garrison
that venerable fortress narrate the
history of the various trophies. He
was a man Of humor and INDUCED in
frequent jokes, and as he came to a
long row of dlsmounted cannon he
winked at me and remarked:
'These ere cannon was hall cap
tured from the Yankees"
"WhenY I asked.
I'm various wars" he responded
boldly.
"Then why do you label them as
having been captured from the Turks,
the Russians and other nations?'
ITO spare yer honors feelings, sir, "
he responded politely.
But no cannon or flag or any trophy
among the thousands that may be seen
in the Tower of London ever belonged
to the army or navy of the United
States. If there were ever one even
of the most insignificant character Il
would be shown with pride to every
American tourist-W. e. Curtis, IL

head-dresses were worn by the Egyp-
ton kings aud the Yuchtan rulers
The value Of skilled investigation Of
the Yucatan ruins can be appreciated
when it is said that they are recog-
nized as being among the most beauti-
full specimens of architecture in the
world. The structures, especially those
of Uxmal, AXE, Kabah and Chichen-
liza, excel all other American ruins.
There is nothing comparable to them
on the Mexican table-land.
Uxmal, for instance, stands alto
gether unriyaled for the magnitude Of
its buildings, the richness Of its sculp-
tured facades and the almost classic
beauty of its statuary. Its most con-
spiculous edidce bears the name Of
the Nunnery, though there is slight
evidence that nuns ever inhabited the
building. There is also a beautiful
building known as the Governors
Palace, which possesses n wonderful
frieze, 325 feet long, decorated with
row of colossal heads in high relief,
divided into panels, and filled alter
nately with panels Of heads and pan
els Of designs resembling arabesques.
One of the strangest and most signiti-
cant monuments in Yucatan is found
at AXE, ten miles east of Merida,
where there is a huge pyramid, with
an immense flight of steps, presenting
features different from anything else
where discovered in Yucatan. This
strange monument is surmounted by
thirty-six pillars, each four feet square
and from fourteen to sixteen feet high.
At IzamaI a few miles east Of AXE,
there is another great pyramid, with a
base 600 feet square. Near it are
three other pyramids and a colossal
head, thirteen feet high, which bears
a strong resemblance to the Sphinx
as far as style is concerned. Unlike
that great monolith, however, the la
nal Sphinx is built up Of rough stones
which have been covered with NOR
tar.

history of the former civilization ana

and pertinent at this point.
Of the sixty-two ruined cities OF 4u-
catan proper the most important, or
at least the best known and most
fully described are those of Izamal'
NTayapan, AXE, Acanceh, UXmal, IL
lyul and Kabah, all centred in the
northwest corner of the peninsula
round about Merida, the capital, which
itself stands upon the ruins OF Thu;
Chichen-Itza about midway between
Tikul and the east coast; Labna, Noh-
BEGAN and Potonchan, in the Campeche
district. Most of these places were
described and illustrated by Stephens
and Catherwood nearly fifty years
ago. and have recently been revisited

any heavy material, or even empty
ones, the device being intended for use
in steering and propelling the barrel
along much more rapidly than can be
done with the hands or feet. The in
yentor is Andrew G. Rowe, and he
has designed the roller especially for
use in flour mills, sugar retneries and
breweries, where it is necessary to
handle large numbers Of barrels daily.
N use the tongue or handle is pressed
toward the cross-ba until the jaws
or clamps have spread sufficiently to
pass over the ends of the barrel, when
a reverse movement throws the points
on the ends of the clamps into the
heads of the barrel with sufficient
force to permit their use as spindles
by which the barrel can be pushed
from place to place as desired. The
facility with which the tongs will
guide and propel barrel viii greatly
increase the number which can be
handled in a given time, and much
less effort is required than without the
apparatus. ---.-

to conform with the rows of teeth in
the comb, with a hinge at one end
to attach it TO the side of the comb
frame. The plate is provided at it's
opposite edge with a crinip extending
either part way or clear across, which
serves to lock the plate against the
back of the comb while the latter is in
use. When it is desired to clean the
curry-e0mb a slight pressure of the
thumb on the locking crlmp will allow
the plate TO spring clear of the teeth
and assume it's natural curve again,
at the same time Kidding itself of the
dirt and hair which it has dislodged
from the teeth. The best feature Of
the improvement is the curving of the

Yucatan at one time supported a very

WING Of PALACE RESTORED

The interesting feature OF all these
ruins. from the modern and unitarian
point of view, is the proof they afford
that at some time, not very remote,
the country of Yucatan was almost as
crowded with people as modern China
Wonder has been expressed that such
bleak, arid and almost streamless
land should have ever become the seat
of empire and the home Of flourish
ing civilization, but from geographi-
cal standpoint the absence of rivers
on the Yucatan plateau appears to be
due not so much to a deficient rainfall
as to the extremely porous nature OF
the ground, which aDsorbs water like
a sponge, and thereby prevents the de-
velopment of surface streams.
1t is to this problem that modern
methods will be applied, although, in
their very application, they will have
been copied from those Of the ancients.
Yucatan is not a dry and waterless
land at ALL only, like many another
country, it will only yield its treasures

When the English army went to
South Africa they carried with them
professional army photographers.
These were provided with compound
telephotographic lenses, which enabled
the operator to bring a distant picture
much nearer than by ordinary pho
Biography. The "telephoto attachment"
was first applied to photographing
mountain passes by explorers, and by
means of it distant, inaccessible peaks
could be reproduced as though they
were at close range. The application
of this invention to the war camera
marked a revolution in modern scout
ing and observation. From balloons
two or three thousand feet in the air
exact reproductions Of the surround
ing country could be made on a scale
sufficiently large to enable the officers
to make good use of the knowledge

erts prepared charts of the enemy's
position and of the topography of the

Three members of the Ministerial
front bench the other day had to rush
across to the lobby of the House of
Commons to catch the division bell in
a manner that was not perhaps wholly
dignifed. But it might have been
worse. Members of the House of
Commons have been known to vote
in their shirt-sleeves before now, and
there is a well-remembered case of a
member who rushed into the lobby
straight from his bath in order to be
in the House before the bell stopped.
