For an ex planation of the discrepancy apply to the president of the United States Ex press Co, care the United States sen ate. The Earl of Dufferin says that the mnly time Lady Dufferin -was ever re ferred to iu print as "Kate" -was in a Chicago newspaper. If the Earl had told the whole truth he might have added, says one writer, that the only time he was referred to i'n print as "His Nibbs" was in the same paper.

The one man on the republlan side of the senate whom the democrats all trust ed is Orville H. Tlatt of Connecticut, who is dangerously ill with pneu nionia, says an exchange. One of the severest tests to which the present administration has been or will be, put will be pieseuted when the president returns and receives the protests of the trans-contiueutal rail way (Companies which are up in arms over the destruction of the monopoly they have long enjoyed as a result of the monopoly of the ranama RalJ way Co. --- - that railway was completed its directors entered Into an agreement whereby they bound themselves to transact business only with certain steamship lines, notably the raciflc Mail Steamship Co on the west coast and tbe Panama Steamship Co on the east eoart, which line it controlled.

Huntington. As the ranama railroad was without the United States this government was powerless to prosecute it for maintaining a trust in violation of the Sherman law. James Farley, the man who broke the New York Subway strike, the originator of the profession of strike breaking, is expected to undertake his biggest fight at a date not far ills, taut, says n writer In Leslie's Month ly. Some time this year the supreme court of Pennsylvania will hand down a decision 011 the apieal of the coal mining companies against the consti tutionality of the law requiring coal miners to be licensed by the state. If that decision finds the law unconstitu tional, and the law Is annulled, the greatest labor battle in the history of the coal regions will uot be long de layed. This law once out of the way, the mine owners will be able to Im port non-union miners Into the coal regions, and to put them ti work at on). Nobody down there douhU that the mine owners will do so. If they do, it will be a death blow to the Amalgamated Hne Workers of Amer ica; and tbe miners will strike. They have more demands on the companies to make anyway for an eight hour day. for full recognition of the un ions, and much more. If that strike comes, the coal corporations know that they must break It at any cost. That will mean stockades about the mines, barracks at pit mouths, aud fi nally desperate attempts by the strik ers to stop the coal trains. It needs only a man to organize the forces that capital will bring In a man to break the strike. In fact. There is le lieved to ! Jut one man In the whole country with the daring, the execu tive ability, and the capacity for or ganization which such a situation de mands. Keep your eye on him. His name Is Farley. There appears to he an Impression on, the part of the people generally that It Is an easy matter for a repre sentative In congress to seenre for anybody who has a good case a pen sion or sn. Increase in pension, by special bill. This is a mistake, says an exchange. There Is a limit to the notntor of bills that can he considered hy tbe committee on invalid pensions, as well as the nninlirr that ran be gotten through tbe house and wiu U: This limit la about 2JZ per term of two years. The hooxe committee on In valid pensions endeavors to appor tion these among tbe members so that they win hare an average of four each. Tbe senators are limited only try tbe acaonnt of work the pensions committee ran do. It would be a fair estimate to say that not more than e out of twenty of tbe pension hills Introduced are favorably reported by th'e' committees of the :Venntai and bouse. And they are usually ', the most pathetic cases, the evidence sbowiue that, the claimant f to both physically . and . financially helpless. A person who Is pensioned under the general lawsfor dlability incurred in the line of duty cannot have his pen sion increased by special act, because the pension bureau is presumed to in crease nis pension as rapidly as big disabilities increase. A person who is pensioned under the act of 1890 has no standing before the committee ou pensions who is not receiving the maximum rate allowed under s that law. It is necessary for the claimant under a special 'bill to show that he is not only physically helpless, but that he is absolutely dependent finan cially. The first should be attested by affidavits of two reputable physi cians and the latter by affidavits of two good citizens. Special pension bills are for such persons only as can not be reached by any exlstine law. Those who have any possible chance of securing a pension under a general law should not waste tirae trying to secure a special act, for in aboutnine teen cases out of .twenty It results in disappointment.

Lindsley, secretary of the state board of health, shows 1,572 deaths, being 109 more than the March average for a number of years. The death rate was 10.9 for the large towns, 17.T for the small, and 19.3 for tbe whole state. -. Tbe principal causes of death were as follows: Pneumonia, 224, nervous system 200, consumption, 148, heart, J43, grip, 81, cerebrospinal fever, i7, bronchitis, 46. Cases of contagious diseases were reported as follows: Smallpox, 3, mea sles, 239, scarlet fever, 193, diphtheria and croup, 117, cerebro-splnal fever, 95, whooping cough, 37, typhoid fever, 14, consumption 42. With tbe report is a note on cerebro spinal fever which sets forth that it is Infectious, but not generally con tagious. Of protective, measures the note says: , "Our knowledge of this disease be ing so limited. Me can only be guid ed by such facts as we have. The dis ease is located primarily In tbe brain and spinal cord. In two bony cavities from which there is no natural outlet. Therefore it Is not possible, in acute cases rapidly fatal, for the germ to escape to infect others. Such cases reasonably caifflot be contagious. But when the disease is protracted and iu volves the ear, the nose, or tbe lungs, as It does sometimes, It is equally rea sonable that tbe discharges from these passages will contain the infection. Therefore all these discharges should be thoroughly and absolutely disinfect ed, as well as everything else with which they may have come in contact. Why? because they are contagious. "These germs are of feeble vitality, and the best authorities do not believe the infection can I transmitted In clothing or other things, hence quar antining of bouses and tumates Is not thought necessary.

Archdeacon Sinclair o London has niude the following lucid statement ou the movable feast of Easter: "The question is a very complicated1 one, and it is, therefore, impossible to go into It at full length. . I will, how ever, give it In outline. There was in early times a difficulty about the cor rect way of reckoning Easter. The churches of tbe east kept It on tbe same day ou which the Jews celebrat ed Passover tbe fourteenth day of the month Xlsan, which month began at the new moon next to the vernal eqhl nox. Tbe western churches kept It' on the Sunday after the Passwer. "The Council of Xicea'(25 A. D.) or dered that it should be invariably kept on tbe same day, with these rules: - "1. That the twenty-first day of March should be accounted the venial equinox. "2. That the full moon happening up on or next after March 21 should ba taken for. the full moon of Nisan that Is, the ecclesiastical moon. "3. That the Sunday next following should be Easter day! "4. If the full moon happen cat a Sunday, Easter day should be tbe Sun day afterward. ''These full moons were determined by a cycle of the moon of nineteen years, invented by Melon the Athenian, 432 years beforeX'hrlst The years in the cycle received the name of , the Golden Number. "This system was erroneous, because the uineteeu-years cycle was too long, and also tbe Julian year, by which they reckoned, exceeds the taie solar year by eleven minutes. The calendar was, therefore, corrected about 200 years after by Dlonyslus Exiglus. a Komnn, which correction lasted from 634 A. D. to 1IB2. Then Pope Greg ory XIII agam reformed the calendar, and brought back the vernal equinox to March 21. This reform waa Intro duced Into England In 1752. In which year September 8 was railed tbe 14th, and eleven days were suppressed. "The ecclesiastical full moon still de pentls on March 21. being considered the vernal equinox, which, as has been shown. Is liable to variation, so that tbe ecclesiastical moon and -the astro nomical mono are not always Identical. "This year tbe actual full moon after which Easter conies is on April 20, ami the previous full moon Is on March ZH which Is tbe supposed 'vernal equinox. This year, therefore, by tbe calculation of tbe ecclesiastical moon. Easter comes a month after tbe vernal equi nox, or actually April 23." - Currants for Horsas.
