Our Enormous Pension Burden.
Our pension list exceeds all Ger

military expenditures upon her giant
army, patrolling Europe and Asia
from the Baltic to the Yellow sea, and
the Indian ocean, exceed the sum
which, thirty years after the close of
the war, we still annually pay over to
our pensioners. Russia’s military bur
den, all is $176,942,600; our pen
sion list i<(uot quite equal to this, but
with the cdst of our small army of
25,000 mei| added, the aggregate ex
ceeds it. /Our military expenditures

THE BRITISH “NIGGERS.*
■ratal Marttor of Aborigine* and the Way
Australian* Look at It.
A great aeneation hat been canoed at
Perth, Weotern Australia, by the trial be
fore the chief justice (Sir Alexander On
alow) of a white eqnatter named Ernest
Anderton for the murder of air'aboriginal
called Spider, and of two other aborigines,
Biddy and Polly. ' In epite of the clearest
•videoce and the plainart direction from
the judge the jury refused to convict An
derson of murder and brought In a verdict
of manslaughter only. I believe no white
man has over swung for a black, and one
member of the jury declared he would ait
a week if neoeesary, but “he would never
bang a white for a few d -d niggers.”
Thereupon the others agreed. Anderson
is said to have been introduced about town
as "the man who killed that lot of nig
gers. " His only regret was that he would
not be able to see the race for the Perth
cup. The chief justice said thatrbe tried
a similar case 18 months ago, but then
only one black man was flogged to death,
and the jury acquitted the prisoner alto
gather.
The facts In this case are peculiarly re
volting, and the brutality revealed is of an
almost Incredible character. Seven abo
riginals, three of whom were children, ran
away from Bendhu, a station in the north
west, which was managod by two brothers
named Anderson. The reason for their
flight was said to be that the sheep in their
charge had strayed, and they were afraid to
face the consequences. Tho Andersons pur
sued and overtook them at another station
25 miles off. On tho way back they were
allowed no food, and on reaching Bendhu
they wore tied up while tho brothers had
their dinner. Afterward the wretched
natives were mercilessly flogged. “Candy,"
one of the adults, was first attacked. Alex
ander Anderson beat him till he was tired,
and then his brother went on with the
thrashing. Spider, tho eldest native, tried
to run away again, but was brought tack
and securely tied by tho legs and nock.
Then he was flogged with such violence
that he died. Biddy and Polly met with
the same fate. Even the children, Louie
and Minnie, one 12 and the other 8, were
flogged with tho same knotted rope.
Among the local community at Bamboo
Creek the case was regarded with a dis
graceful leniency. AS the inquest the jury
found that the aboriginals had “died from
exhaustion;" a rider was added “censur
ing” the brothers Anderson, and a bench
of magistrates inflicted a few paltry fines
on them for assault.
Subsequently, by order of the public
prosecutor, the bodies of the dead aborig
ines were exhumed, and after expert ex
amination of the broken limbs an indict
ment was brought-
Alexander Anderson died of typhoid fe
ver in Freemantle jail before being brought
to trial.—St James Gazette.
The Disappearing Tray.
If you ever use one of those little fancy
Japanese metal trays sold about the streets
for ash receivers, don't put it on the stove,
though that .happens to be a handy plaoe
for a circle of smokers to rsaoh. That was
what the observant Jersey man did the
other night at his eountry home.
He and his sons were sitting about a big
stove on a cold night, all smoking, and for
convenience he put the ash receiver on a
sort of shelf at the back of the stove against
the smoke pipe. When he went to bed, he
left tho ash receiver there. The following
morning his wife discovered it. It was per
fect in appearance and form, and still held
the pile of ashes, burned match. ends and
cigar butts which had been deposited in it
the night before. She was about to pick it
up, when she bethought herself that it
might be hot. Taking something, there
fore, to push it with, she attempted to slide
it off upon a plate.
The moment she touched it the ash re
ceiver lost its form, became liquid and ran
off the stove upon the floor in a shining
stream of white metal. The heat of the
stove had been sufficient to melt the pew
ter of which it was composed, and it bad
probably stood there for hours, all in a
liquid form, except the little crust of oxide
and lacquer upon its outer surface. This
crust had been coherent enough to keep
the tray in form until a touch broke it,
and then the wbolo had collapsed.—New
York Sun.
Jewel Trays.
Pretty little trays of metal or pottery
are much in vogue as receptacles for rings,
when said rings are “off duty, "as now
and then happens, though not for so long
a period as to be put under lock and key.
The trays are not to be commended, how
ever, and for a very simple reason—they
are not good for the rings. Drops of water
will wear away stone itself, and the rough
or hard surface of these small trays is not
wholesome contact for anything so suscep
tible as gold. It is astonishing how soon
one's rings will show the wear and tear of
nightly reposing upon an unyielding sur
face. Satin or velvet is tho only kind of
contact that so fine a metal can endure
with profit, and unless padded or lined the
little trays are to be tabooed by all who
value their rings. Even the china upright
twigged branch and the outstretched hand,
both very popular as ring holders, are not
to be sanctioned Anything short of flesh
itself, or that which is most like flesh, is
sure to make tho rings show signs of wear
and tear. —New York Sun.
Vocabularies.
In a talk about th% Algonquin lan
guage Dr. Edward Everett Hale observed
that 600 words of any language are enough
for human communication. “Six hun
dred words,” he said, “are said to be suffi
cient for the couriers in Europe, and it is
the outside limit of the vocabulary of the
Italian opera. It is true that this is the
minimum of human intelligence in both
cases, but still it answers for the convey
ance of thought. In the book of Judges,
for Instance, there are not 700 different
words.”
Valuable Experience.
“Johnnie,” said his father, “I’m sur
prised to hear that you have dared to dis
pute with your mother. ”
“But she was wrong, pa,"replied John
nie.
“That has nothing to do with it,” said
the old man. “You might just as well
profit by my experience and learn once
for all that when a woman says a thing is
so it is so, whether i| is so or not. ’ ’—Chi
cago News.
One o>v the Other.
“I wish I could remember what Lobelia
told mo to order when I canw down town
this morning,” said Mr. McSwat. “It
was either a tea set or a settee, but which
one of the two it was I can’t call to mind
to save my life. ’ ’ —Chicago Tribune.
Pay of Acton In China.
In China a company of SO -actors can be
engaged for SSti to play r.s many pieces as

How People Walk.
Obstinacy is indicated by the alow,
heavy and flat footed style of walking,
miserliness may be suspected from
short, nervous and anxious footsteps.
Turned-in toes generally character’
ixe the absent minded, and a stoop tho
studious and deeply teflective, whose
thoughts are anywhere rather than
with themselves.
Sly, cunning people walk with a
noiseless, and even stealthy tread, re
sembling that of a cat. A proud per*
son generally lakes even steps, bolds
the figure upright and the head a little
back, and turns ths toes well out.
A gay and volatile person trips light*
ly and easily in sympathy with his or
her nature. Character is shown by all
sorts of oddities in gaits, but grace and
elegance no civilian’s walk will bear
comparison with that of the man who
baa received military training.
No two people walk exactly alike
and the student of chsracter finds as
much to interest him in the way peo
ple walk as in any peculiarity they
may have of feature. Quick steps de
note agitation ; slows steps, either long
or short, suggests a gentle or contem
plative turn of mind.
