A CIFTED ACTOH.
Who Wat Eniiblsil to Draw tba I'emlont
of Two Koltllni-4.
A reg-ular personification of de
ceased pensioners has been discovered
at the station of Dapoolie. This is a
delightful, healthy place in the dis
trict of Ratnagiri, about live miles
from tho sou, at an elevation of GOO
feet. It was the residence of veteran
sepoys vho had been pensioned after
doing good service in 18.37-5. An
anonymous petition brought tu light
the distressing fact tnat pensions had
been drawn long after tho decease of
the real incumbents, and that there
was, besides an original schema by
which pensions still due to survivors
had been intercepted and were in the
main enjoyed by money lenders in the
bazaar and by tho native clerks of tho
department, says the Saturday lie view.
A Ion? investigation followed, in
which tho military authorities wero
all but baffled. - Hut by the skill of an
Englishman in the ordnance depart,
ment and of an intelligent l'arsee
books were seized, rolls wero in
spected, and it was found that one
Tannak, who had originally been in
tended for tho army, had been in tho
habit of dressing- himself up as a pen
sioner and drawing the allowances.
This enlcrjirisinr individual, from his
photograph and from tho letter press,
must have had a lively sense of humor.
He was sagacious enough not to per
sonate more than two pensioners on
the same day, one in the morning and
one in the evening, except on special
occasions, when he appeared live
times.
His military salute was admirably
given and he subsequently related,
with just pride, how he had managed
to draw tho allowance of the suhbadar
major and of Sirdar Harnnak Bahadur
l'oc four yours. Of course this gifted
actor had got hij own "commission"
every time. The sharpness of tho
English superintendent in detecting a
series of interpolations in the native
account-books would havo done credit
to the best officers in Scotland yard.
Hanging Trounnm.
A genius, who has devoted a great
deal of his time to the question, lias,
iie says, discovered how to prevent
trousers from bagging at tho knee.
This is a piece of news which should
send the public, or at least the male
portion of it, into transports of joy.
It will be no longer necessary for tho
poverty stricken dude to put his
trousers under the mattress at night,
nor for wives, who are proud of their
husbands, to iron their trousers -the
husband's trousers after they have
gono to bed.
The theory which has been ovob'sd
is that all trousers are cut from ciotii
in which tho thread runs up and down
and straight across tho leg. Hence,
when the strain comes on the knoo
of the trousers, those threads stretch,
because tho strain is directed upon
them, and the trousr-i-s bag. A tailor
has' i made a pair of trousers so that
the threads run diagonally across the
lg, and the result is said to be highly
f-atlsfactory. Tho strain is distributed
indirectly upon the threads of the
cloth, and tho trousers fall bac-U into
their proper shapo as soon as tho
strain has been removed. N. Y. Sun.

An F.ng'ish device for enabling
cyclists to obtain a linn grip on tho

steel plates with leather blocks for
fastening to the sole of tho shoe, with
