JANUARY 5, 1900.

The women of England, who W2re once driven from the House of Commons for abusing their p ivileges, are now doing more to sustain the army in the field than most of the men.

Times are said to be unusally hard in London, and money scarce, but some American millionaire's daughter will probably come to the rescue at the proper time and foot the bills for deficits.

"Tsucceed in war," Gen. Ml? observes, "is to get ready :!.. ;x you commence hostilities. One ui the Confederate General in 1S61 said his idea of succes: was "to get there fustest with tru mostest."

Shipments of American fion intended for the Soutn Africa i trade have been seized by Britisl officials. The Boers will knov nothing about t' e horrors of wi. until they sit down to breakfas some morning without any flannel cakes.

A steamship loaded with American coal is on its way to ti e birthplace of Columbus. Ti e Genoese little thought in ti t time of their famous navigato: that some day they would bt sending across the Atlantic for fuel.

The kopjes, of wh'ch the dispatches ha-e much to say, are usually the site of old name villages surrounded by sloae wa Is at the top and bottom. They are natural forts and w'.ie 1 s rengthened by barbed wire can hardly be taken by a rush.

British disaster brings British vindication. That is one of tht most obvious at:d mostsiguificaij facts of the present situation L South Africa. The disaster i. not complete nor irretrievable The vindication may not at alt seem complete or indisputable. But each is as far as it goes, sufficient.

In three years the noted delegation in the house from Maine has disappeared. First Mr. Mil liken died, then Mr. Dingley. Mr. Reed resigned, and now Mr. Boutelle has broken down. It will take new men a long time to reach the prominence which years and ability gave to the mer named.

The progress of science is won

derful. It has surprises in stort that astonish the world. The latest novel invention of modern surgery is a tongue made of rubber, resting on a pivot set be

tween the teeth. George Hen

excessive use 01 tooacco, contracted cancer of the tongue, and

two-thirds of the anterior part of

that organ had to be removed, leaving only a base of the tongue.

The rubber tongue was bevelled off toward the bottom and placed

Yesterday the pension rule of the Pennsylvania railroad went into effect and between 1,500 and 2,000 of the older employes were retired on life pensions. At first sight it may seem that men who have been working two-score years or more would welcome the retirement jrom toil with a fixed income until death and a life insurance of $2,000 payable at death. It is undoubtedly a great benefit to the aged class and a most remarkable and significant move towards a general system that some day will secure to every aged and worn-out toiler adequate protection for old age, not as a philanthropy or charity, but as a share of what he has contributed to wealth of corporation or country by a life of industry ami usefulness. Yet, when the re

tirement is involuntary many hale old men still able to do a day's work will very sadly lay down their tools, leave the shop or machine, and the fellow workers after many j-ears of association, leave the rattle and hum of ceaseless activity and go out into the silence of an idle holiday, with the feeling that at last he is too old or feeble to be of use. Some will feel that but they should not. It is right that if a man has earned retirement and rest by long years of steady work,

(living honestly ard soberly with

out waste or neglect that he should. have a few years of ease and comfort, free from care and anxiety for the future of himself and family. The removal every year of several thousand from the aged end of the employes roll to

; make room for as many young

man at the other end is according' to natural law and helps to relieve ! the pressure of the labor market. ; : The adoption of such a system ; ; by a corporation like the Peuuj sylvauia railroad, which makes

no move without the . most exhaustive and accurate study of its relations to the present and future indicates that it is the beginning of an economic policy that will be extended throughout the labor world to serve in some degree as a measure of profitsharing. One example of a Penusj lvania pension is this: A man of 71, whose average monthly pay for ten years has been $68 a month on retiring will receive from the pension fund 47 per cent of his pay, or $31.96 a month. He was in the relief department which will entitle him to $6.72 a month from the superauuated fund, but from this will be deducted $3.60 a month to keep up his insurance of $2,000. He thus will be entitled to $35.08 a month and a virtually paid-up policy of $2,000. Pay your subscription and we will send you for one whole year, free of charge, "The PilfSi'ioi," a large, tine $1.00 m gazihe. Come early, as this otter will not last always.
