How the United states Govern ment
Cares for Its Disabled Soldiers.
The United States expends $3,000,-
900 annually on its national homes for
disabled volunteer soldiers, and $780,
900 annually on the national home for
disabled regular soldiers. There are
27 900 disabled soldiers in the volun
teer homes, and 1926 in the home for
regulars. The volunteer homes are all
under one board of management, and
the home for regulars is under the
management of a board Of army Of
ficers, with Gen. Miles as president.
There are in addition to the national
soldiers homes at Washington.

26 State homes for disabled soldiers.
In all, over 10000 soldiers are cared
for by the national and state govern
ments.
At the close of the war there were
272,5 soldiers on the lists OF
wounded. Over 100000 other soldiers
had been discharged on account of dis
ability from various diseases. Prob
ably rs per cent Of the latter recovered,
and fully so per cent of the wounded
entered into the activities of civil life.
There were, however, thousands OF
the seriously wounded, and OF those
who came from the hospitals perman-
emily disabled by disease, to be taken
care Of. For a time too many of the
disabled class drifted into the county
infirmaries and charitable institutions.
Then Congress extended the national
home system and the states took up
the work, until now nearly all OF the
disabled volunteers and regulars who
are not cared for in their own homes
or in the homes of relatives are com
fortably housed and cared for by the
government. 1t is great work, OF
which not much is said, but it is some
thing to be proud Of.

The Price ct Pearls.

Mr.. Dudley Grote, prominent jewel
fancier of Paris, threatens the fash
ionable world with a pearl famine. IF
all the pearls in the oceans were to be
brought to the surface and offered for
s,le tomorrow" says Mr.. Grote. "the
market would not be flooded, nor
would the demand for the delicate
white jewels be satisfied. There has
been a steady increase in the demand
for pearls during the past few years,
and an accompanying falling off in the
supply The cost has gone up more
than one realizes. and | think is still
below the high-water mark.
"Since 1890 the price of pearls has
doubled In the past three years it has
increased fully 3S per cent. The num-
ber OF oysters brought to the surface
Of the waters of the world averages

ken out before. and still the supply of
pearls decreases. When | say supply |
mean the pearls offered for sale to the
public. Personally. believe the jewels
are being bought up by investors, and
that the bulk of them never get into
the market. In fact. | know of sever
al banking houses in London and Paris
that have made considerable money on
pearls during the past decade

Great colored Educator Buys Boston
'N Residence

The estate on Main street near Co
lumbian, known as the Quincy Loud es-
tate, at South Weymouth, Massa.
chusetts, has been purchased by Book
er L. Washington, the well-known col
ored educator. says the Boston Globe.
The property comprises about two
acres of land a modest two and one
half story structure, with large stable
adjoining The house is quite old and
Will be thoroughly remodeled before
Mr.. Washington takes possession. The
land Is adapted for farming, having
been used for that purpose for num-
ber Of years.
The estate is situated in the resi-
Dental part of the village and is near
the spacious residence of II. B. Reed
and the Minot Tirrell place ON Main
street.
President w. IL. Baldwin, .Jr., of the
Long Island railroad is understood to
have been the agent acting for Mr..
Washington, and the transaction was
consummated before the residents of
the village realized that they were to
have such distinguished neighbor.
Mr.. Washington has two children at
tending schools in the vicinity of Bos-
ton, and from what could be learned
from various sources in the village it
is the intention of Mr.. Washington to
pass only the summer months there.

yAps DON'T WORRY ABOUT COLD
Almost No Attempt Made In Winter to
Keep Warm.

Keep Warm.
Although the Japanese winter is
most trying on account of the con-
tinued dampness, the Japanese are
content to remain cold. They make
almost no effort to overcome it. The
old chivalrous idea of the ''samurai'
(knights) was that it was effeminate TO
feel cold, and Nch is their severe
trsining that they do not really feel
it as we do. The wearing of some
extra ''kimonos'' and the use of
"hibachi'' or brazier in which are
few tiny sticks of lighted charcoal are
the only concessions to winter
weather. With the "hibachi" they
never pretend to heat more than their
finger tips. which they hold over the

clothes and are always padding

CHICKENS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Former Colorado Man Runs a Show
Poultry Farm.

j. II. Hildebrandt, an old resident
of Denver, has struck it rich in South
Africa-not in the gold mines, but in
the chicken and duck business, says
the Denver Republican. About year
ago Mr.. Hildebrandt conceived the
idea of introducing American methods
of raising poultry in that country, and
established. the Good Hope Poultry
Farm, which has become one of the
show places of the vicinity of Cape
town. 1t covers ten acres, about hve
miles out of the city. The product or
the ranch is entirely dressed poultry,
chickens and ducks. No eggs or live
chickens are sold. The finest stock OF
ducks and Black Hamburg fowls are
imported and used for breeding. The
eggs are placed in incubators, the
Matching plant having a capacity OF
500 eggs Il month. The incubators are
of American make and are in charge
of expert incubator men from Penn
sylvania. They have made a record
of Matching and saving eighty-five per
cent of the chickens and ducklings
from eggs set, and the product of the
farm is about 10000 dressed poults 4
year. Mr.. Hildebrandt obtains the
highest price for his entire product
without difficulty. Another American
novelty he has introduced is lucerne
or alfalfa, of which there, as here,
three or four crops year can be
raised. His American vegetable gar
den, with green corn, is another source
of wonder to the natives.
On this ten-acre tract Mr.. Hide
brandt lives in great comfort, his ell
terprise having proved thorough
financial success. His brother George
Hildebrandt, who works in the mail
ing department of the Republican, re-
Gently received copies of two of the
Capetown newspapers, both of which
contained glowing accounts of the
wonderful success of j. IL. Hide
brandt's enterprise.
