THE PENSION AND OTHER
STEALS

Recent statistics show that
though the population OF the
country has not quite doubled
since 1877 the expenses OF the
government have increased ten
fold.
The cost of every department
of the Federal administration
has grown to alarming proper
tons. In 1877 the army cost
$50, 9S7,167. This year the
expenses will exceed S91 100000.
The expense of the Military,
Academy is nine times greater,
and the navy six times.
The pension steal is the most
infamous of all. In 1877, twelve
years after the war, the annual
pension expenditures amounted
to 500, $4,000. In 1902, thirty
seven years after the war, the
pension graft reaches S139, S42,-
$50, and it continues to increase.
Instead of diminishing the
pension grab grows larger every
year. No effort is made to eN-
plain this anomaly, but the Re
publican party is induStriOuslN
engaged in piling on new names
to the list. Pension Commits
sioner Clay Evans, who refused
to be made an accessory to this
gigantic steal, was objectionable
to the G.. A. r. and he was placed
where he will not be in the way
of the pension raiders. a more
subservient person was APP
pointed in his stead and the
shameful robbery of the public
treasury will go merrily on.
There on now so many people
who are directly and indirectly
the beneticiaries of this rotten
system of pensions that the
party which denounces the steal
courts defeat at the polls.
The pensiOning of soldiers has
ceased to be looked upon as the
just reward of men who riSked
their lives for the perpetuatlOn
of the republic, but it has gotten
to be the means of cOrruptinS a
large army of voters who con
slider the public treasury THEN
legitimate prey and the fedora
administration merely an agent t'
hand out the booty.

people believe like TalleyranC

NEW FRILLS OF FASHION.
Pretty Gowns ana Headgear That Are Now to Be Seem Upon A Up-to-Dnte Dressers.

Loosely knotted ties of soft silk are
 used to give a touch of color to street costumes, This is zrtistically shown
 in gown of willewgreen panne whose short bolero is trimmed with scroll work of cloth applique. There is a large collar of tambour muslin on the
 shoulders with pale blue silk scarf
 tied loosely beneath it and peeping
 h front, clever mode giving tiny Dit of color.
 Becoming flower toques for youthful
 faces are made of forget-me-nots.
 One designed for pretty blonde had
 B full crown of white cloth and a brim 1 of the forget-me-nots. On the left
 side was a white Agrette.
 Princess gowns of velvet are very fashionable. Gray-green is one of the favorite colorsof the moment, and vel yet and panne dresses are being made of it, with accompanying trimmings 1 of lace and chiffon of the same hue.
 For day wear, this color is often made up over waistcoats and brocaded 1 white satin, and it looks wonderfully
 we'll with chinchilla and old lace, says
 the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Many of the arbiters of fashion are predicting the watteau style of dress for next year. In some of the court gowns being made by English dress makers the trains come from the l waist, except just in the center, where the breadth is brought up to the top of the bodice like watteau, while the sides are over draped with deep falling lace.
 Parisian novelties in chate1aine bags of suede, satin and gold show decora- tions in the way of jeweled watches or miniature spaces for small portraits. A pretty waist for afternoon wear and sequined net and black velvet rib- bon an inch wide. It is made over q silk crepe lining. It has a small hab- l it basque and low cut collar, all the edges being finished with tiny frills of black plaited chiffon.
 A noticeable feature in the change of evening gowns is in the sleeve. Last year the tight lace sleeve seemed to have it all it's own way; this year the sleeves to the Louis XVI. dresses are, of course, of silk, turned back above l the elbow, and decorated with frills of lace, while sleeves to chiffon and
 lace gowns are invariably formed of frills from shoulder to elbow, gath cred roundwards.
 Indications of the coming fashions
 point unquestionably to the fact that
 the most attractive evening dresses
 are to be made with lace or chiffon
 skirts, and Louis XVI. bodices of bro- | rade, the shoulders of these to be held
 with fichus, and decked with ribbons
 the fastening down the front to | twinkle with diamond buttons. In day dresses the present newest ] departure are in coat bodices, nearly
 all of them inspired by the riding
 jacket worn at the time of Marie An
 toinette. The basques are often cut
 away over the hips. but quite long be
 hind, the ornamentation relegated to
 revers on the front, embroidered and
 app1iqued in lace, and generally edged
 with narrow bands of sable. the
 sleeves widening in bell fashion al
 the wrist. Deep gauntlet gloves worp
 over bell sleeves of lace and fur.

saw the chimney of little shack off from the road and we turned to- wards it.
 Lizard, Snyder lives there. he said, and he always has some good liquor on tap. 1 reckon a good stiff horn of whisky is about what we need
 ''Certainly, if there ever was a time when it was justifiable to drink whisky it was then, for the cold was in our bones and we were almost overcome with exhaustion. We knocked up old Lizard, and he let us in without much grumbling.
 We're almost frozen my partner said, and we want a drink of whisky
 Lizard went down behind his little bar and brought up his keg of whisky, but even it was frozen solid. The keg itself was cracked and long icicles of whisky hung down about it.
 "sThere you are. said Lizard,' now what are you going to do about it??'
 ''For moment we were up agains [ it. Then my partner had bright idea.
 "'Just break us off ten-cent icicle apiece he said.

OF NEBULoUS oRIsIN.
The Invention of the Thermom ct r Is Lost in a Cloud of Uncertainty
 and Dimness.

Like many another invention, before and after it, the origin of the ther- mometer is rather nebulous, although the instrument has hardly been known for more than 3)0 years. As a general rule this invention is ascribed to Cor nelius Drebbel, who lived in Alkamaar, in North Holland. The date of the in vention is usually given at 163S, says the Philadelphia Record. Viviani and Castelli have refuted Drebbel's claim and ascribed the invention of the ther- mometer to Calico, giving the year of the invention as 1897. In recent monograph published by H..C. Bolton the results of Niviani and Castelli's Investigations are confirmed, with the exception, however, that 1592 is fixed upon as the date of invention.
 The instrument which Calico in vented seems to have been an air ther- mometer; at all events, such is the reasonable conclusion to be drawn from description published by P. Castelli in 163s. A pupil of Calico, ,Sagredo, mentions adevice for measur- ing heat as early as 1613 and describes it's invention to Calico. Sanctorius, a contemporary of Galileo's, speaks of the thermometer as a very old in strument."
 The thermometer received it's pres ent form at the suggestion of the Academia del Cimenta of France and Grand Duke Ferdinand II. used such an instrument in 1641 in carrying out experiments in incubation. At that time various cities in Italy had become more or less familiar with the new de- vice for measuring heat. In 1862 Rob- ert Boyle exhibited thermometer to the Royal society. Hooke was the first to determine the zero point of the l scale, so that it could always be as
 certained, the standard used being
 the melting point of ice. The second l fixed point was determined by C. l Rinaldini in 1894 The use of mercury l as thermometeric fluid was known to
 the Florentine academicians. The most
 accurate mercury thermometers were first made in 1714 by Fahrenheit at
 Dantzig. Tn spite of the manifest in
 adequacy of the Fahrenheit scale it is
 still used to this very day in England
 and North America.
