TOO MCCH FOR

A Vlrginian member Of Congress
used many years ago to tell a story
which may rave been inter ded as a
parable fer politicians who az proach
questions from the wrong side. 1t is
still capable of performing that Office,
not only for politicians, but for
others.
The proprietor of lanyard built a
stand on one of the main streets Of a
Virg1' ia town for the purpose of sell
ing leather and buying raw hides.
When he had completed the build
ing, he considered for a long time
what sort of a sign to put up to at
tract attention to the new establish
ment. Finally a h ppy thought
struck him. He bored an auger hole
through the door post and stuck a
Calls tail into it with the tufted end
outside.
After a while he saw 8 solemn-faced
man standing near the door looking at
the sign, his eyes in a round, medita-
tive stare behind his spectacles. The
tanner watched him a minute then
stepped out and addressed him.
"Good morning, sir!' he said.
"Morning!' said the other, without
taking his eyes off the sign.
"Want to buy leather asked the
tanner.
"No."

of London, as he sat at luncheon yester-
day with a party of brokers at the Law
yers' Club. that most of you Americans
seem to have gone daft in the matter of
pockets: The most striking popularity of
your clothes-and the thing that first
caught my eye on landing here-is the num-
Der of pockets in them. Pockets, pockets,
pockets, everywhere! And almost always
something in 'em, too! What do you do
with them all? What are they all for?"
1t should be explained that Ridgeway
worked for years ION the bench as a jour
great Poole in London. He managed to
save up a few hundred pounds which HI
took with him to South Africa in 1891. He
returned to England last year worth, it is
tunate mining ventures during his eleven
years exile. Just to prove that he learned
mis- trade and hadn't forgotten it, he cut
and made a suit of clothes for himself the
first week that he was back in London He
had it on yesterday, and with a show of no
little pride, he directed attention to the
fact that in the entire suit there were only
six pockets.
''You see.' he explained, pockets dis
figure a suit just as too many doors and
windows nny do | q house. IN them And tbs besides drs if you u
bulge out n destroy all the artistic
effect of good clothes. Look at that young
fellow over there by the window, now
five outside pockets in his sack and some
thing in every one of them! I lave only
one hip and one fob pocket In my trousers.
only one in the waistcoat, and only three
in. the coat-an outside change pocket and
two inside breast pockets. That's enough,
and more"
At once every man in the party began
counting his pockets. Nobody had less
than fifteen and in one or two instances
there were eighteen. And 1t was quite
generally agreed that SO many pockets are
worse than needless and impair the effect
of good-tailored garments.
"A handkerchief, a small penknife and
a memorandum book are about all a man
needs to carry in his pockets nowadays,
aside from money! continued the London
oracle. IAN inner pocket for your gloves
is all right; but in England now ii is
bad form TO carry a match safe, a cigar
case or a big bunch of keys. A well-dressed
man over there is never seen with his pock-
cts bullying. Here the bullying pockets are
painfully in evidence. Cut 'em QUIT"

Meeting Committees.

Railroads gross earnings continue to ex-
pand. The increase of roads thus far re-
porting for August was 1872 per cent. This
is full of significance as an indication of
stable business conditions. MANY people
think" says the Wall-street Journal, that
railroads gross earnings are usually more
reliable than bank clearings as an index
TO all business which is directly related to
the production and consumption of COM
modities, but they are not so identified with
speculative conditions as bank clearings.
The present increase, however, should be
qualified by the fact that owing TO the
great stability of railroad rates this year
the average ton mile revenue has been
higher, so that a given increase In earn
ings does not represent entirely the in
crease in volume of movement. On the
other hand, about so per cent. of the rail-
roads gross earnings are directly disbursed
in the roads territory. So far, in addition
to being an index to the business as a
whole, they are themselves a large actual
amount which has been added to the pur-
chasing power of the territory served. This
is the purchasing power of the largest in
dustrlal class after the farmers, directly
enhancing the scale of living and the de-
mand for staple articles. Furthermore, this
added purchasing power is very widely dis
tributed, and for this reason is very uni
versal in its influence"

retired. The first officer announced in
orders as retired was Lieutenant General
Winfield Scott, he being retired upon his
own application on Nov. !. 1851. On Dec.
5, 1861, an ordsr was published announcing
as taking effect ut various dates the re-
irement of thirty officers In addition 10
General Scott 1t had been hoped that
the provisions of the act of August, 1851,
would have been sufficient to produce the
desired end~-namely, the filling of the
higher ranks with officers OF bodily powers
vigorous enough to perform every duty re-
quired from them in time of war. But this
hope was a vain one.
In July, 1852, a second act was passed,
which authorized the President to retire at
his discretion any officer who had been ON
the army register forty-five years or who
was of the age Of sixty-two. The effect of
this law was prompt, and up TO Sept. 1,
1863, the President retired under il two
generals, three colonies, three lieutenant
colonies and four majors. In July, 1866,
Congress passed an act providing that OFF,
GERS retired for disability for wounds re-
ceived in battle might be retired with the
full rank held by them on the active list,
whether in the regular or volunteer serv-
ice, when wounded. About sixty of this
class were retired before the law was re-
pealed. in 1872. In March. 1869, Congress
passed an act reducing and consolidating
the army, and in July, 1870, additional legis-
ton directed the muster out of all super
numerary officers. To prevent hardship
falling upon old officers under this act,
some of whom would be left unprovided
for, Congress authorized the retirement,
upon their own application, of officers who
had been thirty years in the service. At
the same time it fixed the total number
of officers on tile retired list not TO exceed
800 at any time. In June, 1878, Congress. by
a clause in the army appropriation bill, in
creased the retired list and limited 1t TO 400.
In 1883 the retirment law was amended to
change the compulsory limit from sixty
two years and TO read "a when an off,
Ger is sixty-four years of age he shall be
retired from active service and be placed
on the retired list" Other notifications
time respecting the limit of numbers, etc.

ARMY RETIREMENT LAW.

New York

New York Tribune.
Officers of both the army and navy are
recognized as honorable servants of the
government. who, when they ask to be re-
tired, ask for nothing more than a fulfill
ment of the contract under which they have
served so many years. When the retired
list was established, in the early part of
the civil war, Ii was for the express pur-
pose of pensioning deserving officers of long
service, and those who should become in
capacitated by reason of wounds or other
exigencies of the service. II was also in
tended TO relieve the highest grades of
worthy but superanuated officers and to in
sure regular promotions. A retired list for
every army and navy has been recognized
as necessary in the interests of the gov
eminent and of the individual-of the gov
nmen in order to secure the efficiency
of it's service; of the individual, to provide
a place and provision for those unfit for
duty in consequence of long service and
casualties.
The first law authorizing the retirement
August, 1861. BY this act officers of more
be retired by the President, and Officers
incapable of performing the duties of their
Offices were to be brought before a retir-
ing board of examination. III found by
this board incapable for active service"
they were TO be retired differently, accord
ing as the ~incapacity resulted from cause
incident to the service or otherwise. The
first retiring board was assembled on Aug.
IL. 1861. and officers of forty years serv-
Ice were invited TO make application to be
