Although last year's estimate of SI for pensions was more than was necessary for the past iiseal year, the commissioner duplicates that, estimate for the next fiscal year, stating" that he believes the adjudication of many cases will make the full amount neeessary. It is his intention to push the settlement of cases as rapidly as possible. An estimate of is made for miscellaneous expenses. The commissioner says the payment by vouchers has worked satisfactorily and opposes a return to personal payments. Some ditlicuity has been experienced in the executions of vouchers in (lermnny and the state department has been requested to furnish bureau information as to what persons have authority to administer oaths.

There are (iol United States pensioners in Germany. Regarding the revision of the pension list, the commissioner says: There is no foundation for the err jueous impression that it is the intention still further to revise the lists, as the purging of the rolls which was commenced 'n has been entirely accomplished. It ought to be understood, however, that there still exists the purpose to maintain tha pension roll as the nation's roll of Concorninp; prosecutions, Mr. Murphy says: Offenders against the pension laws have been so rigorously prosecuted during the past three years that the criminal work of the law division, has been materially lessened.

It is said that bits of camphor will rid a closet of mice. Before using a lamp wick soak it in vinegar twenty-four hours to insure a bright light.

The wick should be often changed. An excellent mixture for potting house plants for winter is composed of rickly, fertilized soil, sand, and ordinary soil, one third each. An open basin of water is a fine absorber of impurities in a sick room or bed room. Drinking water should never be exposed for any length of time to the air, because of its tendency to absorb impurities. A PATENT CLOTHES LINE.
