DwINDLING PENSION ROLL.

The new report of the Com
missioner of Pensions shows
that the shrinkage in the army
of pensioners that began to be
evident two years ago was no
passing 1uctuation but a per-
manent process. The number
of pensioners reached it's max
imum on January 81, 1905, when
there were 1,OO4,196 names en-
rolled. In May of that year the
figures dropped below q million
and have never reached that
point since. On June 80, 1905,
there were 998,441. on June 30,
1905, 9S5.97l, and on June 80,
987, ,37l-nearly forty thousand
less than the maximum, and
this although a service pension
Law, opening the rolls to every
body who had served for ninety
days in the Union army, had
been passed in February.
But while the number of pen
sioners 10 decreasing, that often

for the reason that there wa.
no labor in the United States
cheap enough to warrant it's
use by the antiquated methods
pursued abroad. \
Now, a Massachusetts inven-
tor, Benjamin c. Nudge, of the
Massachusetts, Inst itute of
Technology, has perfected a
process that in the space of
twelve hours transforms flax
straw into pure linen fiber
ready for. spinning. The Nudge
process in it's first stage is
mechanical, the fiber being
wrested from the woody portion
of the straw by means of ma
chimes that accomplish in a few
hours what the old-world me.
thod of rotting the straw in
water takes weeks to perform.
When this part of the work is
done, chemicals are resorted to
for degumming and bleaching
The immediate result of this
invention is to make a market
for the millions of tons of fax
staw wasted each year and
which, according to a recent
bulletin of the department of
agriculture Farmers Bulletin
No. 274D "in quality and length
for the production of fiber far
excels the average straw form
which the Russian peasants
make the fiber which chiefly
supplies the linen fabrics of the
world" The Oxford Linen
Mills of Gardiner, Mass, are al
ready preparing to enter the
market for flax straw.
Instead of sending $22, 600, 900
a year to Europe for linens, this
fiber and fabric will now be
manufactured in the United
States at a cost considerably
below that of foreign linens,
and besides making a new
market for the product of the
American farmer, will add
enormously to the profits of
cotton fabric production which
10 now valued at over half q
billion dollars a year. At any
thing like the present prices
for linen, the mills operating
under the Nudge process can
earn enormous profits.
The Nudge method does not
sacrifice the seed crop. The
entire plant as it comes from
the field is put into the me-
chanical apparatus and the seed
separated before the straw is
crushed. The Oxford Mills will
handle the seed and straw crop
or the straw only, as may suit
the convenience of the farmer.
The value of the seed crop
alone is $l9,50O,OOO annually.
This will of course be greatly
increased when there is q
market for the straw.-Bis-
marck Weekly Tribune.

THE DIVORCE EVIL.

THE DIVORCE EVIL.
A total of 200 clerks and
special agents have been en-
ployed by the United States
government continuously for
several months past in getting
data on the domestic iufelicity
of the country. and, as a result,
the able statistician at the head
of this bureau is at length able
to inform an anxious public
that about 100000 divorce
ceases have been filed and 1885,
932 married persona have been
legally separated in this coun.
try during the past twenty
years.
We are further more informed
that it will be some months be-
fore all the "field work" in this
connection 10 finished, az there
are about $4,000 cases still t. be
investigated. The report in
detail, We are also informed.
will not be ready for some time
to come, but spending this pub
licity' and in order that popular
anxiety might be in a measure
allayed, it is said to be estimat-
ed by the bureau that nearly
two thirds of those who sue for
divorce are successful.
*a Of course, until the details
shall be made public, we will
have no means of knowing
whether the bureau has collect.
ed information of a general ma
ture with regard to this matter
of domestic infelicity. 1t is all
very we'll to know that such
and such a number of divorce
cases have been fled, and that
such and such a number of
married persons have been
legally separated, but what an
anxious public is really waiting
for, and is willing to be taxed
for. is information on such
points as: -
How many divorces were
started at the breakfast table
by q remark from the husband
to the effect that the coffee
tasted like dishwater7
How many were started by a
remark at the breakfast table
to the effect that the inside of
the biscuits tasted like putty Z?
How many were started by
the wife's asking at the break
fast table what time it was
when her husband stumbled
upstairs last night7
How many were started by
an innocent query from the
wife, i mother as to whether the
wife. would not like to come
home for q while 80 as to get
rest and proper nourishment7
How many were started by a
passing remark by the husband
to the effect that he had not
had any good apple pie since
he left home?
. Then, to make a report of this
kind really interesting, and
worth the money it has cost,
the clerks and special agents
should be able to gather data
with reference to the number
of divorce cases started with
rolling pins. tin dippers, china
cups, tea pots, coffee pots and
bric-n-brae. It would be all the
better, too. If we could learn
how many of the divorced per.
sons had strawberry marks on
theit arms and moles between
their shoulders, and if it il
Shown by the data to be true

SHOULD HAVE SLEEP OUT.
Writer Objects to Custom Of Arouslna
Children Early.

Dr. Woods Hutchinson, writing of
Sleep In the American Magazine, crlti-
cizes boarding schools sharply for get
ting young people up too early in the
morning. He says: "A baby or young
child should have absolutely every
minute Of sleep that It can be induced
TO take, and sleeplessness is even
more emphatlcally sign OF disease in
children than in adults. The necessity
and capacity for large amounts OF re-
freshing sleep persists up to adult life
and the amount required seldom falls
below ten hours before the eighteenth
or twentieth year. To make children
or rapidly growing young adults get
up before they have had their sleep
out. and feel thoroughly rested, is not
