Healed by Christian Science

THE following item, which we copy from the Washington (D.C.) Times, adds interest to the statement recently given out, that the pension roll of the United States government reached its "high water mark" last January, and that it has since fallen off. The Times says,—

"If an epidemic that has recently broken out among pension-drawing veterans throughout the country spreads, the Pension Office will soon have a sort of conscience fund, which will rival that of the Treasury Department.

"About two weeks ago a Grand Army veteran in the West, wrote to the Commissioner of Pensions that he had recovered the health he had lost years ago, and felt that he was no longer entitled to draw a pension. This has been followed by several other waivers of pension claims from pensioners in various parts of the country.
