THE arrears for pensions under the existing laws amounted to $235,000,000, 91' about $47 for every person in the United States, or some $240 for every voter.

The paternal govern- ment in their country is not foolish enough to make vaccination compul-‘ say, but offers :1 premium of about "ten cents for every child duly inoculated. Curiously enough, parents prefer to have the operation performed on the noses of their offspring rather than upon either arm or leer. THE education of the child commences at the mother’s knee; the ' ' "ly circle form the infantile mind; . he schoolmaster instructs the grow: ing youth, and in after years the semmarry, the academy and the university prepares the student for the duties and responsibilities of life.

And as the child cradled in the manger was the great link which held the majesty of heaven so close to the strife of earth, we even now feel that by the children around us much of the noblest impulses of our natures are drawn out, and that in adding to their enjoyment much of our own happiness is secured.

A trivial quarrel with :1 friend, a passionate debate when the brain was perhaps heated with wine, has often ended in murder simply because the ready pistol happened to be in the handy hip pocket. This 'Coast is full of blasted lives from the pernicious custom, and its prisons ciiwnll many :1 victim to it who would to—day be :1 useful and perhaps distinguished citi— zen if he had always left. his pistol at home. We ' therefore sum up our thoughts on this subject with this remark: that the pistol is rarely the friend of an honest; man. It is only effective in the hand of the bully, thci highwayman aiidthe deliberate iiiiirdcrer. As :1 protection to the wayfarer at night it is :1 sham; as :1 safeguard against assault from the bully it is :1 delusion; and as an instrument of terror to the highwayuian it is often a fatal snare. A bull’s-eye lan— tern is worth a cartload of pistols of :1 dark night. The sudden glare of light that blinds the footpud is worth all the revolvers that were ever packed by tardy passengers.
