Something New in Magazine Making
THE SCRAP BOOK is the most elastic thing that ever happened in the way of a
magazine elastic enough to carry anything from a tin whistle to a battleship Every
thing that appeals to the human brain and human heart comes within its compass fiction
which is the backbone of periodical circulation biography review philosophy science
art poetry wit humor pathos satire the weird the mystical everything that can be
classified and everything that cannot be classified A paragraph a little bit a saying
an editorial a joke a maxim an epigram
Nothing Like It in the World
There isnt anything in the world just like THE SCRAP BOOK It is an idea on
which we have been working for several years and for which we have been gathering
materials We have bought hundreds and hundreds of scrap books from all over the
country some of them a century old and are still buying them From these books we
are gathering and classifying an enormous number of gems and facts and figures and
historical and personal bits that are of rare value Furthermore we have a corps of peo
ple ransacking libraries reading all the current publications the leading daily papers
and digging out curious and quaint facts and useful facts and figures from reference book
cyclopedia etc etc
Dont fail to get a copy of this first issue of THE SCRAP
BOOK It sells at the price at which all our other maga
zines sell Ten Cents a Copy and One Dollar by the Year

Borne ii the Uuulnt ami Original Ap
plications For Payment Tluit Have
Keen Handed In to the Representa
tive of Uncle Sum
If he dared to do so the commissioner
of pensions at Washington could com
pile a delightful volume putting there
in the strange applications for pensions
I that came to his office Some of these
letters belong to the too good to keep
class and they find their way out Into
1 the world where they add a good deal
j to the hilarity of nations Some appli
cants for pensions manifest the most
i childlike ignorance regarding the
ing for a pension They seem to think
that all they have to do is to send an
application to the pension office and
Uncle Sam will forward a check by re
turn mail
Soon after the close of the civil war
there came to the pension office in
j Washington the following unique and
I poetical application for a pension that
went the rounds of the newspapers
j years ago
to Commissioner of Tensions Washington
I these mmy years Ive tried In vain
i an honest pention to obtain
For wound received In Sixty one
at first Battle of Bull Run
one of ohlocs sons so brave
who went to the front the union to save
And whilst Engaged in above said light
a rebel Shell tooi half my sight
Not content by taking an Eye
this treacherous shell in Passing by
took my Eye Brow Clear of the bone
and Left me as unconscious as a stone
burning a blister of Crystal Clear
from the jaw bone to the Ear
but thanks to god my life was spared
Cheek and Eye brow but Slitely Scared
and one Eye was left to mo
for to wright and read Poetre
I hope that with that Eye to see the day
when unkel Sam his Cripples will Pay
Much more recent is the letter sent
to the commissioner of pensions by an
applicant who had contracted blood
poisoning in the following remarkable
manner
I got blood poison by beinge hit with a
hens eg wen I cam back from the frunt
Tho eg was not good wen you send my
pension I want the Deed made sos my
wife cant get none of It She throde the i jjj
eg tine war a reuDei
Equally appealing and remarkable
was another letter sent to the pension
office in which the applicant set forth
his claims to a pension in this wise
The way I got my War ingery was a
ketchin of a hog The Hog war wanted
by our captain for forego We was chasin
the hog and she crawled threw a holo
an I thot I were about the size of the hog
and tried to crawl threw but i stuck an
in tryin to wiggle out I throde the rales
off an one it hit me on my hed and nocked
me senseless I do not think the hog had
nothin to do with my line of duty for I
did not ketch the hog Wich she never
was caut so pleze send along my pension
One aged pensioner had evidently
made a serious blunder by taking
t
unto himself a wife in his old age for
love of gain seems to have been the
motive of the woman Avho married him
if the following letter stated the facts i
in the case i
Dear Mister Government Pleze to fix up j
my penshun papers so as my wife cant
draw my twelve dolers a munt when I
am ded she say she marryed me for lov
an to be a ole mans Darling but now I j
no it was for to git my penshun on her- j
self by being my widower so pleze let
my penshun end with me but pleze doant
let on to her that you got this from me

The second clubman laughed harshly
You are joung and have much to

derstand first as last that if there were
in your house a mile of bureaus three
acres of armoires and 17000 drawers
all these would still be stuffed full of

A MURDEROUS WEAPON
UxnlnxlTe Harpoon the WIiRte
Hunter Chief Reliance
Che explosive harpoon which is tho
modem whale hunters chief reliance
is a truly murderous weapon six feet
iu length and strong in proportion
made chiefly of malleable iron and ad
mirably designed for the slaying of the
Immense creatures Its most striking
feature next to the bomb head which
is operated by a time fuse and explodes
in the vitals of the whale Is the anchor
like device that prevents the harpoon
drawing out of the body again under
the terrilic strain of the wouuded mon
sters frantic efforts to free Itself This
consists of four hinged barbs which
lie along the shaft before It is tired but
which are forced apart and Imbed
themselves in the whales body after he
is hit so that if the prize escapes
which sometimes occurs It Is only by
breaking the rope
When fish are numerous and there
is a chance of killing more than one In
a day a novel method is adopted with
the first victim When It is seen to be
dead a hole is bored through Its back
into its stomach and air is pumped into
It by a pipe from the steamers engines
until it is inflated like a great balloon
The orifice is then closed with a wood
en plug and a man Is left alongside In
a small boat to establish ownership
while the whaler steams off in quest of
other prey As many as five whales
have been killed by a ship In one day
four is not an unusual bag and
threes and twos are commonly got A
single ship killed twenty two iu a week
I and the record years work for one Is
I 2CiS an amazing number when It is
membered that on stormy days it is im
possible to cruise at all as the sprays
bury the gun and that during the win
ter months fishing is abandoned Dur
ing that period the whales strike off
the coast to escape the ice floes to
which the rorquals are not partial be
ing in this respect unlike their arctic
congeners whose habitat is now the re
motest section of Hudson bay and the
channels which strike north from it3

LINCOLNS CARELESSNESS
s Hnt IIIh FnvorKe Receptacle For
Letters mid Paper
When Lincoln was postmaster of
New Salem he used to tuck the letters
Inside his hat and deliver them when
ever he happened to meet the persons
to whom they were addressed As this
is a fair example of his business sys
tem it may readily be imagined that
the office of Stuart Lincoln was not
a model establishment where there
was a place for everything and every
thing in its place And it was not In
deed as a managing clerk the junior
partner would have been a hopeless
failure and as an attorney in the
technical sense of the term he would
never have distinguished himself He
disliked everything connected with the
drudgery of legal routine hated draw
ing the declarations and pleas despis
ed the artificialities and refinements
which were even then beginning to
creep into the pleadings and disregard
ed forms whenever it was possible to
do so
There was nothing mechanical pre
cise or methodical about the man and
in all those housewifely virtues which
characterized the careful orderly ex-
or I would have a hot time of it and times i n w
Is hotter now than I can stand So when BUUUU c a L l

her this if you want to but not until the
penshun is shut off whitch It is her just
desserts for marryin for money an in a
Mersheenary spirrut j
One day there came to the pension
office a very old and subdued looking j
man who could scarcely totter along
with the help of two canes By his side j
was a very robust and perfectly self
reliant young woman of perhaps thirty
years of age When some one went
forward to ask what was wanted the
young woman said
Well Ill just tell you This is my
husband and we aint getting enough
pension thats what we aint Were
getting only 10 a month and we know I
a man that wasnt in the war half as
long as my husband was and didnt get
a shot in him and he gits his 12 a
month and we want our pension raised
to that figger or more
One applicant was willing to give the
most palpable proof of the genuineness
of his injuries for he wrote as follows
If you dont think I was shott in the
war I am willing to come on there and
you or any one else can lay their finger
on the bullet imbedded in my back wtich
panes me when I stoop or lay on it and I
which It has brought on permnent
abillity so I cant work like I used to i
could I guess if you would speak to I
ident Maykinley and tell him about the
bullet he would say to send on the pen
tion and any medikel doctor would say
the same A doctor here will go his af
fydavitt that he has laved his fingers on
the bullet wich I am proud of as scars of
War where I fit and bled for my country
wich It is America and Union forever
New York Tribune
and apparently the only attempt he
ever made to better the disorder was to
write on one of his bundles of papers
which littered his desk When you
cant find It anywhere else look in
this But that was long after the firm
of Stuart Lincoln had dissolved and
even then we find him explaining to a
correspondent that he had placed his
letter Inside an old hat and had thus
neglected answering it which shows he
j had not wholly outgrown the habit of
his postoffice days Indeed his hat con
tinued to be his favorite receptacle for
papers as long as he lived and he
uever acquired any sense of order

Moon Cere For Bald Ileniln
The superstition in agricultural com
munities that the phases of the moon
affect the germination and growth of
seed has a parallel in a queer belief
that the moon also influences the
growth of hair on the head Here is an
old recipe The baldheaded should take
two ounces of boars grease one dram
of the ashes of burned bees one dram
of the ashes of southern wood one
dram of the juice of a white lily root
one dram of oil of sweet almonds and
six drams of pure musk Make an oint
ment of these and the day before the
full moon shave the place and anoint it
every day New York Tribune
