A Washington dispatch says the
Sulloway old-age and service pension
bill for veterans of the Mexican and
civil wars, which it Is estimated will
add $45,000 000 annually to the ex
penditures for pensions, was favor
ably reported to the Senate on Mon
day from the Committee ou Pen
sions. The only amendment was to
cut down the maximum rate to vet
erans of 75 years old from ?3G to
?30 a month.
This amendment, it is estimated,
will cut down the annual charge up
on the Treasury imposed by the bill
nearly $5,000,000 from the amount
as the bill came to the Senate from
tho House.
The bill reported makes the fol
lowing increases in the present rate
allowed by law:
Age G2 years and over, Increased
from $12 to $15; ngo G5 years and
over, increased from $12 to $20;
ago 70 years and over, increased
from $15 to $25; age 75 years and
over, increased from $20 to $30.
Tho bill gives the Increase enu
merated to men who served honor
ably In the Mexican war and who
wero honorably discharged.

From all over the United States
reports of successfully putting into
operation the plan of Sunday closing
are being made to tho Postofflco de
partment. In more than 400 cities
tho old custom of delivering mall on
Sundays to persons who may apply
has been discontinued and in other
cities arrangements are being made
to try the plan, which has the high
est approval of tho Postofllco au
thorities in Washington. Wherever
a public vote has been taken, senti
ment has been found to be very
stroug in its favor.
In tho recent annual report of tho
Postmaster General is the following
in reference to Sunday and holiday
closing of postoffices:
"There is a very strong sentiment
throughout the country in favor of
the discontinuance of the delivery of
mail on Sundays, and this sentiment
should bo respected. Postal em
ployes are undoubtedly entitled to
one day of rest In seven. All re
putable commercial and industrial
establishments close on Sunday. To
accommodate the traveling public
and those who have important per
sonal mail arriving on Sunday it
may be necessary to keep tho gen
oral delivery window open, but it is
tho experience of tho department
that with tho growing use of the
special delivery service urgent mes
sages requiring attention on Sunday
for mall is usually a matter of habit
rather than necessity. It is there
fore believed that, sustained by pub
lic sentiment the department will
find it practicable to so curtail the
delivery service as to make it possi
ble eventually to relieve nearly all
carriers from duty on Sunday and
that with the co-operation of the
postmasters it is feasible to provide
one day of rest In seven for all
clerks and carriers without any in
crease in force.
"If the plan of discontinuing en
tirely Sunday servlco by letter car
riers, which is now being tried in a
number of the large cities, where the
sentiment of the communities is
strongly in favor of Sunday closing,
proves practicable, it would seom,
that tho desired result may be at
tained without legislation.
In tho recent edition of the Post
office Clerk, a magazine devoted to
tho interests of postal employes, an
account of the method whereby Sun
day closing in Detroit was brought
about and the success of the move
ment Is printed.
The Bachelors aro making prepar
ation to have tho last of their series

fifth and last dance will be held next
Tuesday evening at tho Lyric Hall.

and 12 o'clock. Tho hall will be
prettily decorated and Freeman's or
chestra will furnish the music.
Mr. Daniel Ryan, who will bo seen
here this evening in "The Black

SPRAYING.
A McKean county correspondent
wrote to Prof. H. A. Surface, state
zoologist, Harrisburg, Pa., as fol
lows: "I wish to spray and prune
my orchard this spring, and as I am
not very well posted In this line of
w,prk, would you kindly give mo
your advice on pruning, and also
the best insecticide to use for spray
ing." Professor Surface replied:
"You can obtain good Bulletins!
on pruning by writing for them to I
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. I
Washington, D. C, asking for their
Farmers' Bulletins on this subject.
"For spraying, the material and
the date of application depend upon
tho pests for which you are spiay
Ing. It Is necessary for you to learn
what pests are present, and treat
them accordingly. You do not oven
say whether your orchard is a peach
orchard or apple or somo other kind
of trees. The strength and compo
sition of tho formula and the date
of application all vary with the
kind of trees to be treated, as well
as the kind of pests present.
"In general, for apple trees the
most Important spraying is that for
the Codling moth which makes
wormy apples, pears and quinces, but
does not work on the stone fruits.
For this pest we spray just after
the blossoms fall, never spraying
anything while In bloom. Use two
pounds of arsenate of lead and one
gallon of strong concentrated lime-
sulphur solution in fifty gallons of
water. You can buy the lime-sul
phur solution ready made, or you
can make it yourself by boiling one
pound of fresh lime and two pounds
of sulphur m each gallon of water
one hour. Let the material settle
or strain it before using, so as to
avoid .clogging of nozzles with the
sediment that may ronialn. Repeat
this operation of spraying with the
same material about two or thre
weeks after the first application is
made.
"For apples, pears and quinces if
you have no scale insects there will
be no need of any other spraying
than those above nientloned. if you
havo scale insects you should spray
at any timo while the leaves are off,
with tho concentrated lime-sulphur
solution, diluted to a hydroraetor
test of 1..03, or dilute the home-made
preparation by adding six times as
much water as you have, of the
stronc solution. Snrav HinrmiErhlv
from each side of the tree, making
the application from one side of the
tree when the wind Is blowing
slightly, and watch and spray the
other side when tho wind changes,
so it Is favorable for this, Use tho
same material, in the same manner,
for all kinds of trees, shrubs and
j bushes that are infested with scale
insects. This is also a fungicide for
destroying many disease germs, such
as thoso of the peach leaf curl, when
applied during the dormant period
as for scale.
Tho Sulphur To Uho For Lline
Sulpliur Wash.
Concerning the form of sulphur
to use In making lime-sulphur wash,
Professor H. A. Surface, State Zoo
logist, Harrisburg, Pa., recently
wrote as follows in reply to an in
quiry: "Replying to your letter asking
If I would recommend powdered
commercial sulphur, I beg to Bay
that I do recommend it, because it
is the cheapest form of sulphur that
you can buy that will do the work.
"I understand it Is liable to form
somo lumps in boiling, but after
straining tho liquid theso lumps can
be crushed or rolled, and boiled
with another boiling, so that it ap
pears to me that there should bo
nothing lost in so doing."
If wo gave assistance to each other
no ono would be in want of fortune.

When President Eliot, 6f Harvard,
retired from the chair of tho univer
sity, on his own theory of expired
usefulness, he ought to have stayed
rotired. Instead of being satisfied to
give the world a rest, he must go on
laying down plans first for a new
religion, destructive of God's revela
tion, and now for a system of child
instruction Involving the destruction
of the child's innocence of evil. This
man is worse than Shakespeare's
ideal nonsense declalnior. Dogberry.
The latter lays down thnt while
"reading and writing come by na
ture, tho grace of God Is to' be ac
quired." In the Emeritus Profes
sor's noble scheme the grace of God
has no place whatever, and the
knowledge of evil takes its place.
Woe to those who destroy the flower
of innocence in the child mind!

"This poor creature hud been beaten
by her husband in a drunken fury.
The man hud been drunk. It appears,

Give The Boy All The Pic He Wants!
Dr. Woods Hutchinson, of New
York, is credited with saying, ac
cording to the West Chester Local
News: 1
"Give the boy all the pie he wants. .
When he gets enough he'll know It. .
He would not ask for it if his sys
tem did not crave It."
The above remarks caught the eye
of a poet, Richard Llnthlcum, in that
great city and he set his poetry ma
chine again and it ground out the
following:
Let every mother's little son
Give praise to Dr. Hutchinson,
For he can diagnose all right
A small boy's husky appetite. j
Where Is tho boy who likes not pie?
You don't know one, no more do I
But he can't make that craving
ceaso
With ono small, stingy piece.
He wants It cut in great, big chunks
Or broken off in lnrge, fat hunks,
Or in long, wide. Irregular slabs,
Which from the pantry-shelf he
drags,
Apple, pumpkin, peach and mince.
Rhubarb, cherry, pear and quince
He likes them all (and so do I)
And every other kind of pie.
O cruel mother! when you carve
The pie, remember not to starvo
The darling boy that you adore
Who passes up his plate for more
You need not fear that he'll ho ill;
He knows when he lias got his All
Of juicy fruits and flaky crust
He may swell up, but he won't
bust! '

AMUSEMENTS.
"The Flaming Arrow."
This play will be the attraction at
the Lyric Theatre on Wednesday
evening, Februnry 22. The story is
one of which the emotional interest
is Intense, the comedy element un
usuauy strong and the sensational
features make it equally attractive
to the gallery and the parquet. The
story centem around "White Eagle,"
an Indian brave, and "The White
Lilly," a beautiful daughter of Col.
Fremont of the U. S. Army.' 'ine
scene is cast at Ft. Reno in tho
frontier days and is historically cor
rect in every detail. A play should
entertain and amuse. We all know
that. At the same time there shoum
be depth and strength to it. It
should instruct along somo certain
lines. If it lacks this element the
players cannot become sufficiently
Interested in it to do good work
their best work. "The Flaming Ar
row which will be played at tho
Lyric 'ineatre on Wednesday, Feb.
22, is one displaying all of the above
qualities and a dramatization in
cluding a splendid moral.
