Tub total number of pensioners dropped from the rolls since March 4, 1893, is 245. Tte total number of pensioners suspended since Alaroli 4 pending a further investigation of their cases is 5,090.

Tub Springfield Union asks this question and asks it pertinently: Did it ever occur to you that if Harrison had been elected President the mugwump press of the country would have howled about this terrible disaster to business that had followed the incoming of the Adtniniseration, and that it would have been laid at his feet' and at the feet of the Republican party?

The special session of Congress will pleaBs the people in exact proportion to to its brevity, says the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. If it will pass a resolution that there will be tinkering with the finances and the tariff for the next four years, adjourn and go home, it will be a long step toward removing the present distrust and restoring confidence. The prosperity of 1892 will return at a hop, slop and jump.

The pension office authorities have been running their opy system for over three months and they are cackling loud that they have discovered "eleven deserters who never returned to their commands—who are now receiving pensions." Now give "the eleven" a chance and see if half of them were not in Libby or Andersonville and were marked as deserters on regimental rolls because careless oflicers did not.know what had become of them.

J. lv. Akusby 4 Co., brokers and grocery commission merchants, of Chicago, in their weekly circular to the trude, Bay this which hits the nail squarely on the head: li Is lianl to sar^any thing about a market for merchandise with tlie finances of the country In their present disturbed condition. Our Democratic friends promised us last fall a perfect wave of prosperity, if we would give them a clmnee to run thing*. Well, they got their chance. The wave Is with us. Wc are not entirely happy, but we suppose that we will like It belter when we get accustomed to It. Our Vine 1'iesldent, Henry Newton, who Is a good healthy Democrat, says. "1 would kick I f.I was KoiUff to be baptized. As I don't find any fault, just simply cuss."

There are a good many Democrats besides Mr. Newton who are doing some vigorous cussing.

It is announced that Representative Burrows of Michigan proposes to introduce a resolution early in the extra session of Congress c&lling for an inquiry into the treatment of Union veterans by the Cleveland Administration. Such a rrfsolntion should be brought forward, and it should be supported by the full Republican strength in the House. Republican speakers on the floor of Congress should characterize the Democratic campaign of slander, and malice against the old soldiers in the terms winch it deserves. Nothing meaner or more unpatriotic has been witnessed in American politics than the scheme of the present Administration to assail the good name of the veterans under the pretense of honesty and to plunder them of their hard won pensions under the plea of economy.

Witii the statute on the books and with a necessity before him which had aroused the greatest anxiety among New York bankers, Mr. Carlisle, representing the executive branch of.the Government, refused on April 27 to entertain the proposition of the New York bankers to supply the Treasury with 825,000,000 in gold. With the aid of this sum the gold balance in the Treasury would have been large enough to have dissipated any fears as to the stability of the currency, and would have averted the commercial and financial panic through which the country has passed since Mr. Carlisle met the New York bankers. It is known that the policy of the Administration was fixed before April 27, and that polioy was to refuse to use any means to add to the gold holdings of the Treasury and to intrnct credits the West and South in order that the people of those sec tions might be led to prevail on their

Congressmen to vote for the repeal of tlie July Bilver law. The commercial difficulties were welcomed by the Administration as an object lesson to silver fanatics, and the panic followed Mr.

Carlisle's interview with the New York bankers just as Daturally and just as certainly an result follows cause.

Why Should Wo Weep?

Why should we weep for those who die? They fall their dust returns to -.lust: Their souls shall live eternally

Within the manslonsof tho just.

They die to live they sink to rise They leave tills wretched mortal shore But brighter suns and bluer skies

Shall smile on them forevcrmore.

Why should wo sorrow for the dead? Our life on earth is bnt a span. They trend the path that all mast tread

They die tho common death of man.

The noblest songsters of the dale Must ccase when winter's frowns appear The reddest rose is wan and pale

When autumn tints the changing year.

The fairest flower on earth must fade The brightest hopes on enrth must die. Why should we mourn that man was made

To droop on earth, but dwell on high?

Tho soul, th' eternal soul, must reign In worlds devoid of pain and strife. Then why should mortal man complain ', Of death, which leads to happier life? —Tennyson.

The Way of the World.

Aloft on a bow the fair fruit hung. Caressed by the wind and kissed by the sun. And standing below as it swung out of reach One longed for a taste of so luscious a peach.

One Just as perfect was lying below, Where the fickle wind tossed it hours ago. Its tint as dainty, its form as round, But nobody cared—for it lay on the ground.

It is ever the fruit that Is Just lieyond reach. Be it fame or honor or love or a peach, Man longs for the most—why we never' will know, Vet he scorns to pick where the fruit growslow. —Mrs. G. C. Clark.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

Lemon juice and salt will remove ordinary rust. To cut india rubber, dip the knife blade in a solution of caustic potash.

To i,igut a candle, hold the match to the side of the wick and not to the top. Deess waists should never be hung, but laid carefully away in a roomy box.

WnEX the oven gets too hot, putting in a pan of cold water will reduce tlie temperature.

Strips of cotton cloth, an inch wide, wet and placed around pies, will keep the juice in. Remove when first taken from the oven.

If soot be dropped upon a carpet, throw upon it an equal quantity of salt and sweep all up together. There will be scarcely a trace of soot left.

To remove mildew from cloth put a spoonful of chloride of lime into a quart of water: strain it ami dip the mildewed cloth into it. liepeat if necessary.

Sanda.hac varnish is the best material for mendiiig plaster models. Saturate tho broken surfaces thoroughly, press them well together, ami allow them to dry.

A very effective remedy for a cough caused by a tickling in the throat is made by adding to the beaten white of an egg the juice of a lemon and then thicken with sugar.

A wonderfully good imital|»n of maple sugar may be made flavoring ordinary brown sugar with an extract of hickory bark. It is said to be almost indistinguishable from the genuine.

To make a glue that will sticlt. take a quart of water, add 2 pounds of best glue, dissolve by heat, allow this to cool and add gradually 7 ounces nitric acid when cold put into bottles. It will not harden, but form a strong cement.

IS WOMAN'S BEHALF.

THE WOMAN'S CONGRESS.

A Worthy Cllitiux to the Closing Year of the "Woman's Century." If it be true that the march of civilization is co-ordinate with the advancement of woman, then, indeed, no other exhibit than that which filled the hulls of the Memorial Art Palace during the memorial week of May 1.1 and SI inclusive is ueeded to show us the marvelous strides of civilization in the four centuries of American history no other prophetic voice is needed to tell us that the next four centuries will witness the increase of those strides in geometric ratio. The congresses which have just passed into history afforded a most impressive object lesson to the people of the whole world. We wonder if there breathes a woman with soul so dead who. sitting in one of those congresses for half an hour did not "feel the earth moved sunward who was not impelled. uoltim rokits, to "join the inarch onward." No one could mingle with the animated throng in hall or corridor or vostiliule and not realize that the "ever feminine" is sweeping on with resistless force to 611 its divinely appointed place in creation. Woman's work in all its humanitarian and reformatory phases has been given a hearing in these congresses and the fact has been demonstrated to tho world (for most of the workers were already aware of it) that, no matter what the name or the aim or the nationality of their organization, the faces of these women are all set in one direction, their aim, in its last analysis, is identical—the uplift of humanity. Whether their work be on ethical, social or industrial lines, whether it pertain to politics or to food and dress.the same underlying idea is present, the same noble purpose manifesttile betterment of human conditions.

It was a climax worthy the closing years of the "woman's century" that this most progressive of. all nations should become t^? proud hostess of the representative women of the world that America should witness the gathering together of women of different tongues and of diverse religious and political creeds for the purpose, not of debating their points of difference, but of discovering and emphasizing their points of agreement and bidding each other Godspeed in their varied lines of effort. The mutual recognition of the truth that, as all roads led to Rome, so all methods of reform reach out in singleness of purpose toward the elevation of the race, strengthens and tightens the tie that binds all philanthropic organizations, and hastens the dajwhen the consummation of the supreme aim shall be possible. For a united womanhood means the solidif3Ting of all human interests and an international federation of women is the precursor of that "federation of the world" which, it needs but the inspiration of the congresses to discern, is not a mere poet's dream, but an actual fact of the future not so very remote.

The world's congress of representative. women! The very name is full of significance. It means that these women are officially recognized as representing the womanhood of the civilized world. They stand for the woman idea of their respective nations. They voice the dominating thought of women about women. And truU- so: for taking the thinking women of the wojld, tlie utterances of the congress as a whole undoubtedly express the sentiments of the majority. The woman who does not think, who is thoughtless concerning questions of vital*intcrest to her sex and to humanity, be she princess or peasant, has not earned the right to be counted at all. The effect of the congresses will be to dispel forever the fear (prevalent among those who least understand human nature} that because woman comes into the kingdom there must necessarily be the stepping down and out of some man. Surely, if this noble gathering of representative women has taught one thing more than another it is that woman does not seek to compete with man. The evolution of woman means co-operation, not competition. It means the harmonizing of the masculine and femlne forces in all the affairs of life in such a manner, as to establish a perfect equilibrium of the whole, and thus secure the highest development of the human.—Union Singal.

WOMEN HORTICULTURISTS.

With Their Dainty Habits They Are Naturally Adapted to the Work. Gardening and floriculture have for years found some of their best friends among the feminine members of the household. The enthusiastic botanist is rarely willing to stop at a merely theoretical knowledge of her favorites. .She likes to grow them, watch their development, their peculiar characteristics and eccentricities and to study their possibilities. To do this, she must grow them, and many a valuable contribution to plant-lore lias come from the quiet, unobtrusive researches and labors of the sisterhood. )f late, since the subject of occupation for women has come under such general discussion, horticulture has seemed to present itself as peculiarly adapted to the tastes and capacities of women who are seeking a menus of livelihood. To grow flowers and small fruit successfully requires tact, patience an«l a nice sense of dis-. crimination. Having these, one may reasonably expect to make a fair record and secure at least tolerable financial returns. There is more money in raising small fruits than most people are willing to believe. It looks like a small business, and there are thousands of objections urged against it: but once considered all of the possibilities of such an occupation, and many of the objections vanish.

Those who live near large business centers always find market for good products in their fresh state and it is a well understood fact in the best commission houses of the metropolis that there is rarely such a thing known as a surplus of really high grade fruit of any sort. The markets are frequently overstocked but not with the very best grade of goods. T^re is always a demand for fancy articles and extra-fine products of all sorts. First, given the quality of the goods, then they must be put up in some specially desirable way or in peculiarly adapted and convenient cases then they must be carefully handled. All this means a trifling additional expense but one which there is always a trade to meet. Any one who devises some now and attractive way of putting up goods, and who puts upon the market high grade products in such shape that they demand the attention of critical buyers, is positively certain of a reputation that will secure an advance of from five to fifty per cent, above the average cost of ordinary marketable articles. Where one is not convenient to market for fresh fruits,

canhetl gooiTs. jellies, sirups, extracts, jams, preserves and the like may be put up and with a little effort will find a good demand. Of course, immediate returns are better, but as everybody can not live adjacent to large consuming localities, the next best thing is to devise away to utilize to advantage the. things we have in-hand, and so prepare them that they can not be sold at longer range.

In the districts immediately surrounding large cities comparatively little fruit is put up. The grower, for the most part, works on a smttll scale, and has neither facilities nor time for preserving it. Quick returns are more desirable, and the fruit is all rushed into the market often, indeed, with so much haste that the quality and manner of preparing it are secondary considerations, and, as a natural result, such fruit brings low prices, and the name of the grower is rarely heard beyond his own neighborhood and tho oommission house to whom he consigns his goods, and that very rarely finds it possible to make returns satisfactory to the producer.

With their naturally dainty and careful habits, women are epecially adapted to the growing and marketing of small fruits and the management of flowers. The business is rapidly increasing among them, and many are making a most pronounced success. That others will soon take it up is merely a matter of course,—N. Y. Ledger.

A NEW ERA.

Women Arc Taking an Active Interest In the'Public Housekeeping. Women being by training and by long practice the usual administrators of affairs in the household, it is not remarkable that they should now and then take a hand, and this very efficiently, in the affairs of their township and county. Women are largely interested in the question of good roads and of landscape gardening. Some of them have attained local celebrity by their skill in the advancement of both these branches, and as they and their children are more or less occcupied in driving and walking over the public highway, and in observing the adjacent grounds which make or mar the pleas ure of those who use the highway, it is appropriate thirt their taste and skill, as well as their means, should be called upon in bringing both to the highest possible perfection.

Women have no more at stake than men have in the higienic conditions of street and towns. But they have more leisure than their husbands and brothers. Business does not inexorably drive them to the cotlnting-room or the shop the instant they have swallowed their breakfasts and devoured the morning newspaper. The crack of the whip does not sound on their ears, forbidding them for an instant to intcBwit their vigilance on penalty of being left behind in the headlong race and furious competition of the period. Of course women are busy, desperately nnd breathlessly so, but still they possess over men this great advantage that the}* can, to some extent, command their time.

Hence it is a very happy thing that women in many places are looking wisely and well to the public housekeeping as far as it concerns the neatness of the streets, the purity of the water supply, the lurking.foulncBS of neglected drains, and the germ-pro-ducing catch-alls of neglected cellars. Women's protective health associations combine to keep the cleanliness, and therefore the happiness and well-being, of the towns up to the highest standard. They complain to constituted authorities. they insist that ordinances shall be enforced, they distribute literature on the subject, they agitate it in meetings, they create a wholesome public sentiment on the subject, and, above all else, they insure success by persuading every citizen and citizeness to the duty and the beauty of carefully preserving intact the healthfulncss of the individual home, of sweeping before the individual front and back doors.—Harper's Iiazar.

Mrs. Cleveland and the Children. The line of charity in which Mrs. Cleveland interests herself is a peculiarly sweet and interesting one, for it is unvoted to brightening the lives of little children. Before little Ruth c:ime into her life Mrs. Cleveland was interested in the scheme of founding free kindergartens for poor and neglected children, and she is now vice president of the kindergarten society of which Richard Watson Gilder is president, and which has established netu ly dozen free baby schools in the slums of the city. And next to her inrest in children Mrs. Cleveland's soms I'.ntle for poor mothers manifests itself. On certain afternoons of the week these poverty stricken mothers gather in little groups in different parts of the city and talk about helpful household topics over a cup of tea. Women especially trained for the work preside over

tthese

meetings and lead

the conversation in the right channels. "Teach them how to live," said Mrs. Cleveland, while giving directions at one of these "mothers' meetings. "Tell them that there is a right way and a wrong way of doing things, and make them realize that the children which are sent them straight from the hand of God must be trained to go back to him."—Chicago Post.
