The British Chancellor of the Exchequer says that the total num- Ca. ber of claims received by an old - age pension officers up to the 10th inst, amounted to 8463,164, of which 273,862 came from England, 131,610 from Ireland, 49,077 from Scotland and 13,615 from Wales. Mr. Asquith's estimate in his bud- get speech was for half a million pensions in the first year. The ap- plications up to now nearly reach that figure, but it is possible that a considerable number of claims will bo rejected on scrutiny. The relatively large number of applications from Ireland, probab- ly, is duo to the fact that there are more persons of sixty-five years of ago and upwards its Ireland than in EI,gland and Scotland. In the re- port of the census for 1901 the pro- portion per thousand of the total population is given as follows with respect to persons of sixty-five years and upwards; England and Wales, males 42, femals 51; Scot- land, reales 41, females 56; Ireland, males 64, females 63. Tho high proportion of old peo- ple enumerated in Ireland =s, says the report, mainly accounted for by emigration. -- s, - -- A FEW FIGURES. Micro aro 481 systems of short- hand.

It is only the Christian church which makes saints of cob- blers. To -day, when an enterprise is to bo projected, efforts arc made it enlist iu its support the great, those who by wealth and birth are natural leaders. The Christian church was estab- lished amid the humblest and poor- est classes of society ; its shoemak- ers, its washwomen, its fishermen, its laborers became its saints. In a world cursed with aristocracy it fcund its home and won its succuss among the plain people. It was not until the lapse of 300 years that it converted an emporor and brought an umpire under its sway, and tho moment it did these things trouble began. A CHURCH OF CLASS. To -day it is largely grown to bo a church of class again. The plain people, the labor ing peoples find themselves at fancied odds, if not with its teaching and preaching at least with its practice. They are not irreligious, the people; they aro anxious and wistful for something which will spiritually uplift. They want amelioration of those condi- tions which everybody deplores. They do not find the church fulfil- ling its divine mission and doing its great work.

Recent wars have proved, so peo- ple have been told, that the cavalry sword has ceased to be an effective weapon on the field of battle, but evidently those in authority at the British War Office do not share that view. Tho Army Council has just approved a new cavalry sword which has been submitted by a Bir- minghamfirst. The new weapon i- made entirely for thrusting. It las a perfectly straight tapering ening mass of humanity, with its blade instead of a curved and babble and clamor, to go through broader blade which has been in use in the British army, with little modification, for over half a cen- tury. In the new grip there is an ingeniously shade recess whereby the user obtains power for thrust- ing. The grip is checkered, pro- viding an excellent hold. The manufacture is to be begun at once. the doorway or the window which would give access to the high hea yens and the bright stars. The church must go back to the humble people of this land if she is again to lead the nation to the high heavens and the bright stars and what lies beyond. She must humble herself in order that she niay be greatly exalted. Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady. S. S. LESSON 8.

India Village School Story Quite Oriental in Details. A strange story is given by a sub- scriber of a drama said to have happened in a Jubbulporc (India) village school, says the Paisa Akh- bar. A few days ago one of the teach- ers detained a Manajar boy, wear- ing ornaments, after school hours, saying that he would not be allow- ed to go home till he had prepared his day's lesson. When the rest of the students had gone away and there was noie to watch them the master shut the boy up in a small room and demanded all his orna- ments. On the latter's refusal the mas- ter gave him several cuts with a blunt knife. As the knife was too bad to kill the boy and the bo also was suffering from excruciating pain, he requested his teacher to kill him by a stone lying in the school compound. No sooner said than the master agreed to it and went to bring the stone. The mas- ter had hardly lifted the stone when a black serpent rose up and coiled itself round his arms. The half dead boy, seeing that his master did not come back shout - It was some minutes before he spoke. "My dear," he then said slowly, his voice husky with emotion, "I never said we must study astrono- my.

She wore each in turn for a week, and at the end of the visit it was again carefully packed 1 in its tissue paper and returned from her ladyship's London house by her maid to the firm which sup- plied it. My lady's rival, who was furious- ly envious of the unique display of creations her ladyship had exhibit- ed, realized that there was only one house in Dover street which could turn out a rose -leaf charmeuso tea - gown of the order her ladyship had worn for the prince. She immedi- ately repaired to the particular house, therefore, et which she was well known, and said she wanted such a robe. "We have the identical thing you desire," they said. "It is ono of Doucetr s,„ and forthwith the gar- ment was produced. "Why," she explained, "that is the identical garment Lady A. wore at the Duke of G.'s house party a few days ago.

The teagown was a $500 one, and it is a recognized fact in the trade and to the beat dressed women that a great house like Doucet never turns out two models alike. HAD GiVEN UP ALL MOPE OF i IViNG.

Ifow They Were Dis'+orered and Returned to 'Their Owner. Ten 1,000 franc bank notes, re- presenting the savings of a woman who lived at Nanterre, near Paris, wore hidden by her in an old en- velope, which was placed in a drawer. In a moment of forgetful- ness the envelope found its way in- to a dust bin. In the morning the ragpickers turned out the bin, but tossed aside the tattered envelope without in- sfection. Some carters happened to pass that way. They picked up the now mud splashed pieco of pa- per. ono remarking to the other: "Perhaps there is a fort•"ne in- side !" Thoy drew out the notes. 'Ms is some fool's pleasantry," they said; so by way of revenging themselves on the unknowa joker and not believing the notes were genuine they toro them to pieces and threw them aside. Two market women came along shortly afterward. With the shrewdness of their class they re- cognized the scattered pieces of paper and gathered them up and took them to the Commissary of Police. There they were pieced together and it was found that none was missing. Two hours later the notes so curiously discovered were re- stored to their owner. PUNISHED FOR HIS RASHNESS MRS.

' "Well," grumbled Jones, '1 wouldn't have closets full of things mildewing for want of wear, if I was a woman, that's all. A penny saved is a penny earned." That was in April.
