EnaIand's Pension Burden.

The enormous burden imposed upon the people of England by old age pen sions was recently brought out by a question in parliament. The secretary to the treasury was asked to give a summarization of the figures showing the number of persons receiving such pensions in England, Scotland and Ire land respectively, and the amount paid in each country. MT. Hobhouse's fig ures are startling. The estimated pop ulation of England on July 1, 1909, was 35.756,615; the number of persons re- ceiving old age pensions on Sept. 30 was 421, ,432; and the amount paid since the act went into effect on Jan. 1. 1909, is 3,672,747 pounds. The cor responding figures for Scotland are; population 4,S77.61s; pensioners, 75,1s4; 1; amount paid, 667,o07 pounds; and for Ireland, population, 4.374, 1858; pension CTS, 1S6,202; amount paid, 1,72S,9 ,904 pounds. This in England amounts to a per capita tax of practically 2s. Sd. on the entire population, while in Ireland 1t runs almost to s.. for the first nine months, While the system is merely getting under way. When 1t is in full operation it will take 9 large slice out of the resources of the nation.

instrument Which Shows Microbes at
 Work.

The ultramicroscope. with which many experiments have been made in the last few years, shows the presence of minute objects by converting them into luminous points against dark background, just as the dancing or floating particles of dust in the air of a darkened room are made visible when we look across ray of light en- tering the room.
 The new instrument is simply an or dinary microscope looking through an oblique beam of bright light that strikes only the tiny specks that are to be observed. The objects thus illumi- mated stand out in the general obscuri- ty about them, and are distinguishable when less than one two-millionth of an inch in diameter, or fifty times smaller than can be studied by ordinary mic roscopy.
 The registering of the life history of microbes among the red and white corpuscles of the blood was accom- plished by pr. Camondon by combining the ultramicroscope with the moving picture machine.
 The pictures were taken at the rate of thirty-two a second and when the bacteria and blood cells in motion and action were shown to the Paris Acad- emy of Sciences the views were moved along at the rate of 96O a minute the objects being magnif1ed from 10000 to 10000 diameters. This scene of mi crobes at war" Is the first of many which may be expected to give us a better idea of the invisible living world around us.

Basis of Confidence.

What has contributed in no unim- portant degree to strengthen the feel ing of confidence here-and among the well-informed there has never been any absence of confidence-has been the accumulating evidence of the utter groundlessness of the stories of inor- dinate borrowing abroad on finance bills to aid speculation in our stock market Those who have been claim ing that such a situation exists have been more and more reckless in their statements. One critic asserted that American spectators were borrowing not less than $500.O00.000 in this way. If this critic should make a tour of the foreign banking houses in this city and set some one to make a similar tour of the banking houses of London, he would quickly discover that a claim for even one-tenth of the amount named could not be substantiated.- Financial Chronicle.

cock-Growins for Prizes in English
 Town.

Town.
 There lives at Bristol an ex-sailor who has hit upon a curious way of earning a living, according to London Tit-Bits. He has a large stock of poultry of all kinds, and some time ago he started cock-crowing matches, open to all corners from any part of the world. The idea caught on, and the growing matches take place regu- larly once week.
 The mode of operation is to place the cages containing the cocks in long rows, for it appears that one bird sets the others growing. A marker, ap- pointed by the organizer of the match, Is told off for each bird, his duty be- ing to note carefully the number of crows for which it is responsible, in the same fashion as the laps are re- corded in a bicycle race.
 The customary duration of the match is one hour, the winner being the bird which scores the highest num- Der of crows in the allotted time. The entrance fee for each bird is half a crown, and very often as many as SO birds take part in one contest. As the value of the prize rarely exceeds two guineas. the ex-sailor makes a very good profit.
 A great number of these matches have taken place. The champion bird in recent match scored 72 crows in one hour-a record that Is still to be beaten.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Taking up the presidents annual message, the house of representatives today went through the formality of referring it and dis tributing it among the various com mittees.
 MT. Payne offered an amendment pro- viding that those paragraphs relating to appropriations should be referred to what is designated as the sleeping committees on departmental expendi- tures of which there is one for each department.
 A Hot Retort.
 Explaining his amendment, MT. Payne said:
 For the first time in my recollection a president in wise and well chosen words has pointed out the necessity of economy in expenditures in the va rious government departments"
 When M. Fitzgerald of New York in terrupted Mir. Payne to question him about the amendment, the republican leader sharply exclaimed:
 The gentleman from New York can never get rid of the idea that someone is trying to hoodwink somebody"

conaressman HiIPs Rheumatisr.

The indefatigable Congressman Hill of Connecticut says he is just going to sit around and do nothing this winter. As if he could! The Nutmeg statesman is a bit under the weather, suffering from Rheumatism caught while on the deep waterways excursion down the Mississippi river and accentuated while in Mexico. where the congress- man says the worst possible kind of weather is met. the day being torrid and the night shivery, with the houses in no way prepared to keep it's deni- zens warm. The result is illness and the congressman has brought it with him and looks upon life nonchalantly. As the session, however. proceeds the congressman will be found in every fight his friends believe, even though the committee on ways and means, to which he is accredited, will take a long vacation.-Correspo Boston Record

In time it will turn the best man almost into a demon of temper and make a good woman some thing to be dreaded and avoided.
 It is estimated that half of one's troubles in this world comes of a stomach gone wrong-of Dyspepsia, in short.

There is a cure for rabies and so there Is for Dyspepsia and. one cure was about as difficult to discover as the other. Pasteur found out one and the F. A. STUART COMPANY the other, and 1t is no longer a secret, as it ia made public in the wonderful Tablet, which so many are using and praiajnT today. One writer says of it:
 "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are lit tle storehouses of digestion which mix with the stomach juices, digest food, retingle the mucous membrane and it's nerve centers, give to the blood a great wealth of digestive fluids, pro- nota digestion and stays by the stom- aeh untn all it's duties are complete"
