Wednesday, the acting secretary of the treasury issued warrants for the payment of si,oeo,ooo on account of pensions aggregating $30,000,000 due during the quarter ending March 4.

Tha enter pvjse ftpd push of a town or community constitutes the foundation of. its permanent success A town may as well pay for its funeral as to become Indiflerent to the enterprises in its midst.

It may comfort some nervous and emotional women to know that a French physician has declared in favor of a “good cry.” He encourages groaning and crying during surgical operations, and is of opinion that such patients as yield to their ; emotions and let nature’s grand outlets for allaying pain be unchoked recover more quickly tnan ‘hose who from a feeling , that it is weak to utter groans and cries, 1 restrain then..
