I Assistant SccreUry Reynolds, of the . Interior Department, announced a de- cision or great importance to a mer itorious class of claimants for pensions. I 1'hc decision will admit to the rolls the names of a large number of insane, idiotic or permanently helpless minor children of deceased soldiers whose pensions had ceased by their attaining ' the age of 16 prior to the passage ot I the act of June 27, 1800. j The claim under which this decision was rendered was that of Harrison F. Loch, of Bucks county, Ta., whose i father was killed in action at the battle of Gettysburg, while serving in Com- panyH, One Hundred and fifty-first Pennsylvania infantry. The minor be came sixteen years of age June 9th, 1879. On December 9, 1891, hisclaim, on his account of permanent helpless- ' ness, was filed under the provisions of the act of June 27, 1890, and rejected April 11, 1892, upon the ground that he was over sixteen years of age at the date of filing the claim. Secretary Reynolds in reversing the former rulings of the department and admitting these claims held that in this and like cases "hcre, under the gen eral law, the pension of minor children who were insane, idiotic or permanent ly helpless has terminated by reason of attaining their pensionable majority prior to passage of act of June 27,1890 the pension may be renewed from the date of filing application therefore under said act upon proof of contin ued and uninterrupted insanity, idiocy or helplessness." In commenting upon the former ruling the Secretary says: "It would seem that little further than a careful reading of the act itself would be sufficient to demonstrate the fact that this law has been misconstru ed to the grievous harm of a class of the nation's dependents who should re ceive, as the law intended they should, the most benevolent consideration No other interpretation of the law is consistent with justice, reason and the express terms of the statute. The whole scope of the law was to provide for a state of dependence, and the former interpretation thereof seems to me to be wholly at variance with the intention of Congress. When the hair begins to fall out or turn gray, the scalp needs doctoring, and we know of no better specific than Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renew er. It covers a good deal of ground Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. And when you hear that it cures 0 many diseases, perhaps you think " it's too good to be true." But it's only reasonable. As a blood cleanser, flesh builder, and strength restorer, nothing like the " Discovery " is known to medical science. The dis eases that it cures come from a torp'd liver, or from impure blood. For every thing of this nature, it is the only guar anteed remedy.

Some models, however, with overdresses and draper ies are also popular. Many a short full coat has a double breasted vest, cut lower than last year. Some new importations have also full cross skirts set on. The very long coat is still seen. As for the jackets, the "Garcon de cafe" and new varieties of the "Eton"' jackets are the favorites. These are made particularly attractive and sty lish by revers and cape effects, which are produced in many novelties. These items of fashion are taken from the Mcdowell Fashion Jour nals, which, as usual, contain an end less variety of models. In the way of inducments, these magazines offer patterns of the latest styles which can be secured at very moderate prices by means ot coupons. They also offer $1.00 worth of patterns as a premium for a yearly subscription to either ol these journals except t'La Mode," which only gives fifty cents worth of patterns as a premium. The subscrip tion price of "La Mode de Paris" and Paris Album of Fashion" i 3 only If 3 5 3 a year for each or 33 cents per copy. "The French Dressmaker" is $3.00 per annum or 30 cents per copy. ''La Mode," the beat family magazine in America, only costs $1.50 for a year's subscription or 15 cents a copy. If you are unable to procure any of these publications from your nes dealer, do not take any substitute rom hirn, but apply by mail to Messrs. A. McDowei.l& Co, 4 West 14th Street, New York.
