There are now on the rolls only 1,500 of the survivors of the war of there are 10,000 widows of soldiers in that war. A still more striking instance of the longevity of the pension-drawing widow -is found in the fact that there are several widows of revolutionary soldiers still drawing pensions in this country. 'The most, casual reader of history does not need to be informed that the revolutiousry war ended something over a century ago, and just how a widow of any fellow that "fit into" that war can still be living seems a little hard to understand, especially when it is" ieinembeivd ven in those days a soldier had to be at least a dozen or fifteen years of age. Yet there is no reason to doubt the genuineness of these widows that so draw pensions, and a carefull calculca-tion shows the possibility of the pension period which has been thus stretched out a full century.

Specimen copies and grand premium list free. Our Thieves in Canada. Another Boston defaulter, a bookkeeper who has stolen $40,000 from the firm which employed him, has escaped into Canada the country of refuge for all American rascals.

Accounts come from over the border from time to time of how these defaulters and embezzlers live in grand style in Canadian cities on their stolen riches. At first they are somewhat timid and fear to expose themselves unnecessarily, but that soon wears off. Then their wives and children are sent for and at some hotel or fashionable boarding house they live in luxury, while the helpless victims of their treachery are powerless to put even so much as a straw of discomfort in their way. It is certainly a travesty on justice and civilization that a man should be permitted to steal himself rich in the Un ited States and escape all possibility of punishment by merely slipping over the border into Canada. That two enlightened nations cannot agree upon an extradition treaty that will abolish this state of things is one of the wonders of the century.

The public sentiment of America upon this subject is all one way, and it should be expressed with such vigor that congress in its next session shall lose no time in concluding a treaty that wiil put an end to what is one ot the greatest scandals of the'age.

at tne uuu xuius xnu, How the Hunters Follow the Signs of the une. Some of the Habits of the Animal. That well-known hunter, Tunis Smith, of Greene Township, Pike county, in a reeent interview said "There are a great many ways by which wo can tell when bears are likely to be plenty in any locality. The bears live in the swamps, and early in the summer, if Bruin is about, the soft black mud along the edge of the swamps will be broken up as if a herd of cows had been walking through it. At intervals also, the mud will be hollowed out in spots eisht or ten feet long, two or three wide, and as many deep.

"These are wallow holes made by the bears, whose tracks it Is that have broken up the mud of the swamp borders. In these holes the bears will lie and wallow and sleep with their noses and eyes buried in Some hunters watch theso holes and shoot the bears as they come out of the swamp to wallow, but as at that time of year their flesh Is poor and their fur valueless, such killing of bears except on the score of abating a nuisance is senseless and unprofitable. "At that time of year, in looking for bear signs, we always examine the trees along the swamps to find if any bear has been measuring himself. Bears have a habit of getting up on their hind feet by a tree, and reaching up with their fore paws, tearing the bark off as high as they can reach, leaving infallible and plain signs of their presence. Some hunters say that in doing this the bears are measuring their height to see if they have grown any during the Winter.

"In the Fall bears turn up the stones over large areas, looking for crickets, bugs, slugs and different insects of which they are fond. "In the late Summer and early Fall th feed on the huckleberries and blackberries, and when frost comes they may to found feasting on their favorite fruit, tne bear berry. When these are gone the hunter looks among the scrub-oak barrens for sins of bear, for then he breaks down acre upon acre of these dwarf oaks and feeds upon the acorns. "Hornet and yellowjacket nests the bear never passes by in the Fall, for of tne immature young of these insects, which are found by the thousands in the nests, he is particularly fond. The stingers of these fierce bees have no terror for Bruin.

The choicest morsel to a bear, however, is wild honey. He will line a bee tree as unerringly as a bee-hunter, and never gives up until he finds the object of his search. When the tree is found the bear begins to look for the place where the honey is stored. He gives the tree a thump with his paw every few feet until he strikes the hollow place. Then it is the work of a short time for him to tear away the wood with his sharp claws.

intil the rich stores of honey are laid bare, ana he leasts to his heari's con tent. "In the coldest weather bears usually house themselves in small caves or open ings in and under the ledge of rocks, where it is dry but If the Winter, is not too cold they frequently come out and. are easily tracked through the snow. They usually select the southern face of a mountain for their holes and dens. "The general belief is that they eat nothing while uoused up, and that belief must be correct for bears certainly do not store anything for Winter consump- like the squirrel and coon as thy.

do not move out of ter3 ir the weather is severe or snow, very deep, they do not 'forage during the W.nter. "Whether they subsist on nutriment obtained by sucking their paws, as some hunters say they do, I cannot say; but I do know "that when they go into Winter quarters they are simply masses of fat. Their fur is very dense, and then is the time to obtain bear skins of the best quality. "Dogs are the natural enemies of bears. A dog's yelp is the signal to the bear for a fight.

Few experienced dogs are foolish enough to go beyond the opening of a cave where a bear has been scented or to pitch into a bear that has turned for fight. A full grown bear with his dan-tier up can ward off half a dozen good dos if he can' protect his rear. A fair blow fro ii a bear's paw will place any dog in a condition that will rob the subsequent proceedings of all interest to him. "At sight of a man though, a bear will make every effort to get away. As a rule, Bruin will never fight a man unless forced to and then it will be war to the death.

A she bear with cubs, when followed closely, will keep her cubs ahead of her and bring up the rear to protect them. If she is pushed closely she will try to frighten off her pursuer by making a great show of fight. She growls, shows her teeth, tears the bark from the trees and scatters it about with much fuss and noise, and will make herself "as fierce as possible in many ways. If the enemy presses and there is no help for it the mother bear will fight as long as she has a drop of blood to shed In defense of her young; the cubs, meanwhile, will huddle together a short distance off and whine and cry piteously. In chasing a bear experienced dogs greatly aid the hunter and do much toward checking the speed of the bear.

"A bear chase is often a long and tiresome piece of work, for when a bear finds ihau ho is tracked he will pick out the most tangled and impassable places he can reach. He will often lead the hunter 20 miles over mountains and through valleys where the brush and briers are harassing, and the swamps almost inacessible to man, while Bruin will shuffle along with his clumsy gait as rapidly as if he were on the best of roads. "A bear hunter's outfit is simple. A good dog but they are scarce a breech loading double-barrel shot gun that will carry a charge of buckshot to kill at 30 yards, or a rifle if lie is an expert, heavy boots, thick trousers, and a shirt, a light huntin-axe in a belt, a pistol, and a long-bladed knife for emergencies, will equip a man who goes out after bears. If the hunter is anxious to be put to his mettle while on the hunt, let him manage to have Bruin get scent of him.

Then the bear will take a course to fol- i low which will require nerve, wind, and a touzb skin. going" miles on a good stiff tiot, so wrapped Is he in the chase. "It is no hard matter kill a it ogs understand their I Bruin i brought to bay, lor he I all his ut.eMion to the iyelpi.i;: nround him. wh.i-- stands oil ixud fills him with 1 xi t'ero fro (inr-s when a bear will brace i si oir a fi; fiom wor. I ihen if the hunter doesn't kill at the lire he is apt to have about as livei a time o.i his hands as he ever dreamed of.

No story of a bear fight that was ever tol can Le much ahead of the actual inc dents that go with a fight if it is a go one. If a man is after bears for profit It Is better to trap them than to hunt them. When a bear finds himself taught by the leg in the he.vy steel traps that are used, he will try and get to a rock and. he wili sh and pound the trap against, thai in ITorts to break it, and there are Instances known where Bruin has br kun traps in that way. Well authenticated cases of bears gnawing or tearing their legs ut of traps are known, am one of the longest bear chases I ever heard of was a chase after a three-legged bear, one of its legs having been left in a trap." THE BEST BOOM." A Plea for the Reasonable Use and Enjoyment of the Parlor.

Many home builders do not consider a houe complete without establishing In it a certain reserved apartment, remote from the social atmosphere of the living rooms, where the curtains are forever drawn except on verj-1 pecial occasions. It serves oftentimes as a sort of monument to the family pride, as well as a drain on the original family exchequer in short, the traditional "best room." I member, as a child, the recoil of my warm, active life currents from the gloom of this unexplored territory in the home of certain well-to-do country neigbors, where it was chiefly associated in my mind with weddings and funerals geiurallj' the latter. In aitertime calls with my mother I never sat down in the dim twilight of such a one without a chilly sensation in the region of the backbone, mingled with a vague notion of lurking uncertainties and the solemn occasion on whic i I had last entered those forbidden precincts. Upon the same principle it is not difficult to account for the alleged ghostly occupants of certain of those stately English be-st rooms. I visited several in my travelling days, and on every occasion confess to an Instinctive shrinking from that sunless ar shut in by carved panelling, and inhtb ed by sombre figures, otherwise furniture standing about in stiff silence, either rowning in mahogany duskiness or in filed to their throats in shroud-like dr pery.

With facilities the manufacture of tall, gliding forms in regulation white is an easy matter for even a well-regulated imagination. Injustice to the English home, however, I will say that among the comfortable cla it is distinguished by an exceptional cosii.ess ai.d the good cheer of generous hospitalitjv the rest of the house being as distinct from the dignified best room, where the latter rusts, as a sunny meadow from a cemetery. In my own home there was too much of the republican spirit about the house tOiidmit of exclusiveness being indulged in by any family rooms. Our carpets did no- last well, but were thoroughly enjoyed while they did, and the furniture was "never long enough in retirement to need shrouding nor take to itteif aristocratic Tho st charming homes tha' it has good fortune to frequmt were those in which the furnishings were made su servient to the family comfort; and wheie ths harmony of the family life saluted one's perceptions with the restful assurance of a deep-breathing content. Another feature was the cheerful tone of their fittings, light, soft tints prevailing in walls, curtain and cirpets, and the furniture selected with an eye to comfort and convenience.

Style was sacrificed to the superior claims o'. books, music and the culture of flowers. The well-windowed apartments were open to the unrestrained occupancy of the freshest airs and the most golden of Summer sunshines, as to favored guests. The pictures, too, harmonized, bright, cheerful, suggestive, as if they had their mission in the family world, something to bring for Its broadening; its progress and the fullness of its social life. The occupants were not rich in "the pecuniary set.se, but, with the outlay adjusted to the income, the home was an expression of themselves, subject to necessary financial restrictions.

There was withal that vivid intellectual activity and grasp through which large harvests of the highest pleasures were gathered in, and a power of spiritual selection by which the better elements of life around them were absorbed into their own. To return to the original subject, let us have no stately apartments so isolated from the family existence that the children would not enter them after dark on pain of punishment if they refused; where the glory of sunlight and the sweetness of its breath are excluded as religiously as if they were intent on burglary. I know this republican element treats their magnificence lightly, and shows it by playing hide and seek In their dusty corners, dancing on the mirrors, and leaving traces of its glowing feet and radiant smile on carpets and curtains without respect to texture or value but let it come in. While they are fading a little it Is chasing th-i shadows before it out of our rooms and out of our hearts, banishing the unhealthy dampness, and making short work of the musty smells and fancies ditto, that lurked there in the dark.

Gen'l Pass, and Ticket Agent, 6T. LOUIS, HO, mt SOME QUERIES." For Women's Suffrage Conventions. The day' the womens suffrage convention met at Anthony, the Republican propounded the following queries which are good for everyday thought, at home and abroad: 1. Is it not a fact that the rights of suffrage and a voice in making laws, carries with it the necessity of defending the laws, by every means known and used for the defense of the laws of municipalities, states and nations'? 2. Is it not a fact that the right of suffrage carries with it the right to hold office and consequently to perform personally every duty devolving on the holder of any office however arduous it may be? and, 3.

Is it not a fact that the physical structure and the organic purpose for which the sexes were created and the fundamental purpose of the divine creator in creating man and women, un-spheres woman for, (I mean women in general and as the head of families) for active duties of defending the laws of nations and of performing the active and arduous duties required by the recipient of municipal, state or national offices? 4. Is it not a fact substantiated by testimony of the medical practitioners and medical faculties of colleges in the United States and other, places, where married women have held high positions in schools and in other places they are permitted to fill, that in order tb fill these positions and perform the duties required of them in the fulfillment of the trusts they have accepted, that they have been guilty of the most loathsome crimes, the very mention of which is a disgrace to human nature. Too Toucliy. We have said, and reiterate it, that whenever woman assume equality with man in a political and business sense, they must expect to receive just such treatment as is accorded the men. It may be that for a time they would be otherwise regarded, but it would not be for long.

And there is not one woman in ten thousand who could stand the rebuffs, jeers and cold treatment of the world through a campaign or other exciting contest. Even the hardened leaders, who claim so much for their pet theory, are continually getting huffy over some fancied discourtesy offered by the very men whom they so much desire to equal and imitate. The following extracts from the Anthony Republican show how it was at the recent convention there; and that even the old "wheel horse." Susan winced continually: "With all due respect toward our recent Equal Suffrage visitors we would suggest that hereafter they should not be so acutely upon the lookout for implied ridicule but pay more attention to the delivery of their lectures. In this Way they would hot only save taking offense where none was intended but would prevent, as well, offending others by the careless mis-construction of their ideas. It would seem as if the ladies while here, spent most of their time while off the platform explaining and apologizing for what was said upon the platform." "Susan 13.

Anthony said that she never seen an audience as toucliy as that of Anthony. This remark was made in reference to the unfavorable light in which her comments on Gen. Grant and Senator Ingalls were received here. For Miss Anthonyrs benefit we would explain that Kansas is very jealous of the good name of her public men. The stricture upan Gen.

Grant was explain-away satisfactorily, but when she stated that Senator Ingalls was commonplace, she slurred a man whom every Kansan regards with much esteem. His brilliant record is the pride of even citizen." Our citizens are very indignant over the treatment received by the Attica singers on Saturday night at the suffrage convention.
