When it Is all over, the government has added several thousand new pensioners and arranged to spend several million more dollars every year from now on until the last widow of a Spanish War veteran dies, without having the least control over how the money is spent or whether It goes to the widow of a private absolutely without resources, or to a woman who nerds it not at all. The charitable societies have gone into pensions on a different basis. When they undertake to support a widow and her children or any other kind of deserving case. It is done on the basis of actual money needed by an accurate estimate. After it has been decided that a family is to be pensioned, the committee of the society having in charge the district in which the family lives figures out a budget covering what it should cost the family to live decehtly for a week.

The bud get is carefully worked out rent, food clothing, light, fuel, etc. and the amount of money granted corresponds to the total. A friendly visitor of the society sees to it by frequent calls and much friendly counsel that the money is spent in the ways laid down by the budget or in oth ers which are reasonable adaptations of it. The society goes much further than this, however, and maintains that in pro viding for the necessities of a family Its responsibilities do not cease, and that it must see that the family gets the great est possible benefit from the pension. It believes that it is not profitable to spend money, freely to bring up children who run the streets or fail to go regularly to school, and thus It receives from the schools a weekly record, of all children in its pensioned families.

The children are examined, toe. by volunteer physicians for physical defects of sight, hearing or breathing, and an operation or eyeglasses follow if necessary. If tuberculosis has existed in the family, all of the apparently well members of it are examined for incipient tuberculosis, for It is not profitable to pension children who ar likely to develop advanced tuberculosis when they reach the earning age, without heading off the disease. The society even goes into psychology, and endeavors to estimate the cash value of widows as mothers. If a woman is a good homemaker it is often worth while to set her to mothering, through a competent pension, which will keep her every day at home; while, if she is slatternly and Ignorant, it may not be worth while to buy so much of her time for her family.

It has been well said that It is both unwise" and cruel to compel a widow to neglect her children in order to support them, but this depends to some extent on the widow. TO SAVE THE LOBSTERS. Unions Come to the Rescue Among the Fishermen in Maine. The Maine men, half farmer and half fisherman, who puff up and down the rocky coasts of their state in gasoline boats, fishing the squirming catch out of lobster pots, are as independent a set as one could well find and each Is master of his own undertaking. Each possesses the product of his labor to dispose of at such time and for such a price as seems best to him.

But with all this freedom, the Maine lobstermen have organized unions covering practically the whole range of coast inhabited by their prey. The lobstermen are subject to irregular and sometimes excessively long working hours, at the mercy of weather conditions and confronted by the power of strongly organized middlemen standing between them and the consumer. They have pitted their organized strength against thf middleman and are bringing him to terni3. A few cents added to the price of each lobster does not mean much to the consumer Bince only the well-to-do buy It. But to the fisherman and his family the additional price means a great deal.

The present high prices, however, are due not so much to the efforts of the fishermen as to the growing scarcity of the fish. It Is interesting to observe the effects of the union on enforcing the game laws. As the supply of lobsters gradually grew less, the state undertook to protect them by legislation. The fishermen disregarded the law and the wardens failed to enforce it until the former came to realize that restrictive action was necessary in order to save tneir industry and now the war dens appointed by the unions themselves are most effectively enforcing the law. Each local union appoints a warden and in one place where five locals exist it Is reported that as many as 10,000 small lobsters are returned alive to the Bea each week and not a bit of criticism has yet been heard from the public at this "limitation of output."

HOLLOWNESS OF THE EARTH. The earth has had many hard names thrown at It. It has been called flat, spherical and oblate. But heretofore nobody has accused it of being a hollow mockery. And that what we have come to now.

We have not trod securely over a sphere eight thousand miles thick, spurning beneath our heels antipodean savages, who clung like flies, head downward, on the opposite side. No; wo are promenading upon a shell, within which penguins, sea serpents, four-headed dogs and talking artichokes dispute for supremacy with unicorns, griffins and bron-tosauropopotami. "That's why we wring clothes, and that's how butter is separated," said Mr. Reed. 'Here's that crazy man coming along who thinks there's another continent over the said the monks of Columbus.

Why does the north wind raise the temperature during the Arctic winter? Why did Nanscn sail fifteen days through clear water and only advance one degree unless ho was sailing round and round Inside? Where do the seals and muskoxen go for their feeding grounds? Where do the fresh water icebergs come from? Why do scientists treat the earth as if It were a solid and have to make out that it's three times as heavy as nickel steel In order to make their calculations fit? Why do they admit that the earth is flattened at the poles, and not go further and allow it's hollow? Why is the sun Invisible so long at the north and south In winter, unless there's a depression which shuts out its light? What is the aurora borealis? Electric lights? Then, why don't we meet it all over the earth? It's fires reflected from inside the earth. And the dust that troubles all the explorers comes from the volcanoes there. The colored snow is produced by vegetable matter blown out from the interior. The great ice pressure comes from rivers inside. The tidal waves I crawled downstairs.

I had gone in a sane, strong, angry man; I came out a knock-kneed, ramshackle wretch. I trod tiptoe over the pavpraents and skipped across coal holes. When I saw the Pennsylvania Railroad excavations I braced myself against a lamppost. Since then I have been wearing moccasins, and bant ing. HerDert Dickenson, in Harpers Weekly.

AMERICAN HOUSES IN ITALY. Toritto, in Italy, is being rebuilt by money sent back by emigrants in America. Unfortunately, the builders have no new ideas; the new houses are no improvement architecturally upon the old. They are all alike, one story high, with a provision for a second story when needed. But they are larger, all provided with good-sized windows, and are finished more smoothly.

They present a much neater appearance. There is no industrial awakening in the town, no apparent change In the mode of living. Except for the Funis spent in the erection of new houses, paid to workmen from other towns, there Is no mrney in circulation. Probably this Is due partly to the fact that so few have as yet returned to remain in Torjtto barely thirty men with their families, all told. Charities and the CommonsA Plays Whose Production Indirectly Influences More Than 1,000,000 Theatergoers.

In the Theatre Magazine is an account of the play censorship organized by the People's Institute of New York City, which has a membership of 12,000, and indirectly influences one million theatergoers. Says the writer: Recognizing the tremendous value of the stage as an educator, and the importance of providing for the vast army of intelligent theatergoers practically under his control, some guide as to what plays should be seen and what plays avoided, Professor Smith organized last year a dramatic department headed by a numbor ot gentlemen who agreed to see the cur rent plays and report on their suitability. The idea was that no play should be ac cepted for this special audience until passed upon by the committee, and an in dispensable condition for acceptance wa3 that the play should possess educational and artistic features and be without moral blemish. As a result of last year's work 60,000 persons secured admission to selected plays at reduced rates, and in certain instances the success of certain worthy plays, which might otherwise have failed, has been brought about by the Institute's financial co-operation. For example, it was the People's Institute that made it possible for William A.

Brady and Robert Mantell to give successfully in face of the Indifference of the critics and public their splendid Shakspearian productions at the Garden Theater and Academy of Music. The Ben Greet Players also had the advantage of the backing of Professor Smith's vast audience. Through his agency also 20.000 tick-etc were sold for Maude Adams in "Peter Pan," and it likewise provided substantial backing for these productions: "The Road to Yesterday," "The Mills of the Gods," "The Prince of India," "The Man of the Hour," "The Three of Us," "Caesar and Cleopatra," Browning's "Pippa Passes" and "Everyman." Many plays, on the other hand, were tabooed. Such plays, for Instance, as "Mrs. Warren's Profession" can hardly expect to secure the Indorsement of the People's Institute.

Throughout the theater district at night there is scattered a corps ot dramatic censors, who measure every word and weigh every thought in the different plays presented iu the city playhouses, In a file, at the People's Institute, Is kept a record of their judgments, and for mer cilessness of detail this file is equal to the Bertillion System at police headquarters. In Europe, the censor, when exam ining a manuscript, is chiefly concerned as to what offense the play may give the crown, or any of the foreign powers. In New York our censors are wondering what effect the play would have on the minds and characters of the hundreds or thousands of school children and school teachers. The foreign censor represents and protects a. political convention; the American censors represent ana protect a moral and educational ideal.

That is the difference. The Institute has the approval, and has secured the co-operation of the best the ater managers. It is not surprising, for it requires very little Imagination to see how easily Professor Smith's followers can fill the balconies and even the best seats for weeks. The managers were prompt to recognize the business value of such a powerful ally. If a play Is ac cented by the Institute the manager knows that he can count on selling several thousand tickets to school teacherB, labor unionists, etc.

The fact that managers have begun to submit the manuscripts of plays to the Institute for its pproval before making the production is significant enough. MASSAGING THE HEART. One of the "Wonderful Miracles of Modern Surgery. It was In 1896 that the world was startled by the report of a case of successful stitching of a wound in a man's By 1902 the operation had Deen frequently attempted, and of the known cases there were nearly 40 per cent, of, recoveries. The percentage is slightly higher in the latest tabulation.

So rooted is our belief that the heart is the most vulnerable organ of the body that we find it hard to believe that It can be operated on successfully. Yet the percentage of recoveries almost equals that of recoveries for bullet wounds In the abdomen. An injury to the most vital organ Is. with modern surgery, no longer necessarily fatal, says a writer on the "Miracles of Modern Surgery," in the New Broadway Magazine. Perhaps the most marvelous case on record is that of a patient brought in with a bullet wound in such a place that the missile must have reached the heart.

The man still breathed, but there was scarcely any pulse. He was operated upon at once and as soon as the heart was exposed a jet of blood twenty inches high spurted from the wound. This was immediately stitched up, stopping the loss of blood. But where was the bullet? Cautiously the heart was lifted up. There was no sign that the bullet had gone through it.

It must have lodged in the heart itself. Ah, the surgeon can feel it plainly in the wall opposite the wound. To leave it there means death. Quickly the heart is trussed up half out of the body and with infinite caution an incision is made. But how to get out the bullet? The surgeon dare not use forceps for fear of pushing the bullet back into the cavity of the heart.

Very gently and carefully he pinches the heart between his thumb and forefinger and In a moment the missile drops out. The wound was Btitched up and the cavity closed and the patient made a complete recovery. Handling the beatng heart does not seem so wonderful as causing it to beat again after it has actually stopped. This was done in several cases where a wound in the heart was being stitched, and only after prolonged massage was the organ induced to beat again. But the modern surgeon Has gone even further.

In cases where the heart has collapsed from chloroform during an operation, he will not hesitate to make an opening to reach the organ by one of three routes and apply direct massage to it with his hand. THE NEW DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE The new Duke of Devonshire possesses an advantage which the late duke was accustomed to regret had been denied himself he was sent to a public school, though at an age rather more mature than is the rule at Eton. He also is the first duke who has had tho personal ex perience of what it is like to occupy a stool in a city office. The present duke has hid a term in a city accountant's business, which is a preparation for public life not provided by every wealthy parent for a son. The duke began his parliamentary business when he was 23 years of age, when he was.

probably, the youngest member of the House of Commons. The experience gained on the accountant's stool was to come later, when he was appointed to the financial secretaryship of the treasury. He is a much more serious man than was his uncle, being, among other things, a director of a London iron company. Chatsworth, the duke's county seat, stands In a park twelve miles in circumference. The social and historical associations of Chatsworth have been acquired and maintained at something rather tremendous in the way of figure.

On one occasion when Timothy Nicholson, who has recently retired from charity work at the age of SO years, was beading the prosecution of illegal liquor selling in Richmond, tho defendant was put on the witness stand and was asked, among other questions, if he was acquainted with Mr. Nicholson. Answerinr in the affirmative, he was asked whin kind of a man Nicholson was.

Ho said he was "a pretty good man, taking him altogether, and he would be a first class fellow if he would only leave liquor alone." -Chanties and The Commons. AT GENERAL CONFERENCE Cain in Value of Property, Membership and in Educa-cational Institutions. in ABUSE IN APPOINTMENTS. Sympathy for Workingrman Unions Indorsed Amusements, the Can-teen and Mormonism. Baltimore, May 7 The address of the bishops, read by Bishop Daniel A.

Good-fll, notes a gain in the number of communicants during the past four years of 273,357, the greatest gain during any similar period for sixteen years. The number of ministers In the annual conferences (not including local preachers) is 19,353. an Increase of 1.171; subject to appointment as pastors on trial and In full membership. local preachers serving as pastors. 4,439.

The total "pastoral army" numbers 20,161. These, according to the address, preach the gospel in 130 languages and dialects. The ad dress continues: The gain in the value of churches is the gain in parsonages is The total gain in church property for the four years last past is while the total valuation of our churches and parsonages is $186,924,024. The Increase since the last, general conference averages almost $8,200,000 each year. Our membership in the United States is now 3,036,000, while in the whole world, the number is 3,307,275 at the close of 1907.

Our foreign communicants number 267,000. Figures are given showing that since the last general conference the value of educational grounds and buildings has increased $4,682,539 and is now total endowment, $23,850,486. an increase of and the value of educational property and endowment, exclusive of debt, has increased $11,141,892 and is now $47,569,532. Since 1904 there have been gains of "71 teachers and professors, professional students adn 2,763 collegiate students. We are unanimously of the opinion that the bishops ought not to be charged with any function of investigation, these being foreign to the work to which they are appointed.

We believe that the functions of nreliminarv investigation in heresy cases should be confined to the annual conference, the body which has lawful jurisdiction. "If there be increasing difficulties in any degree, as to making appointments, it is because of growing interference on the part of ministers and laymen with ihe judgment of the bishops as to what is best for the work, since ministers demand to be kept within the range of the more lucrative charges, because they lave had one or two of that sort and feel humiliated and degraded if they are sent even to a small reduction. Conferences pass resolutions protesting against transfers without equivalent exchange, and then wholly refuse transfer, thus putting the appointing power where it must disappoint a church by sending a man not wanted, or crucify a man by sending him to a disappointed officiary, if not a disappointed church. This has reached a pass where the bishops are accused of tyranny and self will when they do what the law of the church demands of them. It is declared that the church has not yet reached unanimity touching the removal of the time limit.

It is recommended that the conference recognize a brotherhood of the Methodist Episcopal church. "We are moved by a profound conviction of duty in again calling your attention to the subject of popular amusements in relation to the spirit and conduct of spiritual life. We regret that the general prevalence of harmful amusements does not diminish. We still firmly bold that they are antagonistic to vital piety, promotive of worldliness, and especially pernicious to youth. We recommend, not that paragraph 248 be stricken out, but that it be amended by striking out the confessedly partial list of worldly amusements found therein, beginning with the last word in the eighth line and ending with the word "other" in the eleventh line, which were inserted in 1872, leaving as the ground for church trial, in case such trial becomes necessary, that portion of the paragraph reading: 'Taking such amusements as are obviously of misleading or questionable moral tendency, or disobedience to the order and discipline of the church," and especially our original rule, to taking such diversions as cannot be used in the name of the Lord Grave injustice will be done if this recommendation is interpreted as an abandonment of our early opposition to ly amusements.

Indeed, It is a return to the principles and to the exact words furnished by John Wesley." Satisfaction Is expressed that there has been prevented 'the re-establishment the canteen in the army." "The consecutive polygamy permitted by the divorce laws of some of our states is a disgrace to our country. It continues to undermine family life and to break up into helpless and warring fractions that which God means shall be a unit. We greatly rejoice that the conscience of the nation is being quickened on this subject, and that the demand for uniform divorce laws increases. "We believe, from the best evidence we can obtain, that the polygamous practices of the past are still found in the states and territories occupied in part by representatives of the Mormon body. We trust, therefore, you will consider whether it is rot wise for you to advocate some constitutional amendment which will make polygamy and polygamous practices a crime against the United States." Child labor Is also protested against.

"We hold the right of those working-men who desire to do so, to form labor unions for the advancement of their interests, as we hold the right of individual laborers, who prefer to dd so. to seek the control of their own labor. The church and the trades unions should Beek each other's help for the uplift of mankind. The church is not a museum of perfected specimens, all ticketed and labeled and Bhut up In a stained glass case for the world to admire. It is a workshop to which all who are willing to work out their own salvation with fear and trembling must be admitted.

The church cannot refuse Its help and countenance to anyone who professes to accept Its principles and to seek a better life be he either capitalist or laborer. By so much as a capitalist is selfish, miserly, exacting, oppressive, has the church business with him. Sho cannot throw blm off and away until the last day of his desiccated and shrunken life brings him before God. She must hold before him the Image of the unselfish Christ in the hope that in its light be will see how ufar he is from the Kingdom of God. "Let it be remembered, however, that nowhere in the world does wealth manifest its obligation to contribute to the public welfare as in the United States." CONCERT AT JAMAICA.
