? a giuitmrous Department. He Liked Them.?United States Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin, told this story to a group of his fellow Senators: In early times up in the pine-woods, when our folks weren't all millionaires, some of us used to get up a chopping syndicate. A dozen fellows all good with the axe and handspike would club together, chip in and buy grub for the winter, and go into the woods to chop and log pine. In the spring they sold their logs, subtracted the winter's expenses, and divided profits. One fall such a party was made up in my town. They were all ready to go into the woods, when some one asked who was going to cook. "I won't." said one. "I can't," said another. A third said he could, but he'd be blamed if he would. It went on, and nobody would cook. In those times, as now, ? Kl?n?w nntlpss than ?50n. month. t? uwb " ? i~; I ? The syndicate could hardly afford that. Finally one fellow said if they couldn't hire a cook they'd got to have grub, and there was but one way out, they must do the cooking themselves. He suggested that they draw cuts, and whoever got the shortest straw must do the cooking. The first man who should complain of the grub would have to relieve him. This was agreed to. and they went into camp. The first meal in camp was dinner. The cook had seen his mother cook beans. It looked easy, and he decided to have beans for dinner. He put a peck in the kettle, chucked in a big piece of pork and a double handful of salt. In time the men sat down to dinner. Everybody helped himself. The first to dish out some beans put a big spoonful in his mouth. They were smoking hot and somewhat salt. The fellow spewed the stuff out with a big swear word. "Those are the doggondest beans I ever ate. Still, I like them?I like them." Not Shabp Enough for Church People.?It is related of a well-known Macon man that he recently went to Griffin and attended church with a young lady on whom he was very sweet. When the contribution box started out on its rounds the young man took a five dollar gold piece out of his vest pocket and displayed it iu such a way that , the young lady sawlt. She mildly rebuked hia ArtpavADftrtpp. hut he said he often con tributed that much, especially when in strange churches. Watching his chance he slipped the gold coin into his pocket and slyly took out a silver quarter which he slyly dropped into the box when it reached , him. This fixed the impression on the voong lady that her beau was generous and held the church in high esteem. At the ( close of the services, as was the custom of , the church, the amount in the box was an- , nounced. The total was $3.75. Griffin has ( no charm for the young man now. T I?- "Say !"^ou are looking as if you had been to a funeral!" he exclaimed, as they met on Griswold street yesterday. "Well, it's almost that." "Any relativedied ?" : "Yes?an aunt." "Pooh! But may be she was rich ?" , "She was." . , "And you were her pet." "Yes." . ! "And she left you $50,000, and you want , the public to think you feel sorry that she's gone." "She didn't leave me a copper, and I want ' the public to know just what I'm grieving over, hang it! I've borrowed over $3,000 on the strength of what I didn't get." : ? > A Treat.?An old man wearing a misfit ] suit was hurrying through the slush in Mar- ' 1a4/v **AoiA?u)oiT o finvnAAM \rhon I KDt BtreOI>| mic JCOWIUOJ tumuvuii) n ?v.. his feet suddenly flew out from under him.

"Not a bit," replied the old man with a ; smile. "In fact, it was a good deal of a treat. I have slipped upon the sidewalks seventeen times this winter, but this is the 1 first time I have had the good fortune to , strike the snow when it was soft. Just squeeze the water out of the coat-tails, please.''?Philadelphia Call. Knew Himself.?Merchant to appli- j cant for a job?"Do you know anything about figures, Uncle Rastus?" Uncle Rastus?"Yes, sah." Merchant?"Well, if I were to lend you 1 five dollars and you promised to pay me one dollar each month, how much would ! you owe me at the expiration of three J months?" 1 Uncle Rastus?"Fi' dollars, sah." Merchant?"I'm afraid you don't know much about figures." Uncle Rastus?"No sir, but I specks I 1 knows all 'bout Uncle Rastus." 0?- An attendant at Mount Vernon, not J long ago, found a lady weeping most bitter- < ly and audibly, with her handkerchief at < hereyes. He slipped up to her, and said: ' "Are you in trouble, madam ?" < "Np, sir,'.' she sobbed. "I saw you weeping." ' . "Ah," said she, "how can one help weep- ] ing" at the grave of the 'Father of his 1 Country ?' " 1 "O, indeed, madam," said he, "that's ] not it. The tomb's over yonder. This is the ice-house." I?- A little Virginia darkey named Cyrus 1 had an older brother, Cassius, who had spent a winter in Washington in swell so- ' clety, apd when he returned home he set i himself up as a teacher to his less cultured family. One day at the table Cyrus said to him: "Gimme some'lasses, Cash." "You musn't say 'lasses, Cy," corrected Cassius; , /'you must say mo-lasses." "Uh!" grunted Cyrus; "how's I gwine to say mo' lasses when I hain't had none yet?"? Critic. ' ^ ? I Colored Sarcasm.?Impecunious African?"Boss, can't yer gimme a dollar as a present?

"Yes; and it is doing us such a world of 1 good." "I don't doubt it." "No, indeed. Why at the last meeting we talked for five whole hours on the advantages of silent meditation." A well-known minister was sent South from New Jersey a few years ago to labor among the colored people. They received him with many demonstrations of joy, and at the first meeting which he held one colored preacher prayed for him with great earnestness thus: "O Lord! Bless dis yer dear brudder what's come down from the Nort to preach de Gospil to us. 'Noint him with the kerosene of salvashin, and set him on fire." No Fruitless Errands for Him.? "Doctor, I must ask you to renew that prescription for my daughter. She is threatened with another attack, and" "I gave you no prescription, sir. I'm no doctor of medicine. I'm a dentist." "Oh, you are. Well then, go to my house and pull a couple of teeth for my wife. I'm not going to run four or five blocks for nothing."?Philadelphia Call. A burglar, who was doing a neat job on a large safe was horrified, on looking up, | to see a man standing beside him. He was about to retire, when the gentleman said : "Go ahead, I am interested in that job." "Why?" asked the astonished burglar. "Because I have forgotten the combination, and no living person knew it but myself. If you can get that safe open, I'll make it worth your while." : t6F A Mistake that Time.?"Yes," said Hendrix to the minister, "I am proud of that dog. Why, he knows the different days of the week." Just then the dog be"gan to run to a gun which stood in the corner, then back to his master, and wag his tail. "He's made a mistake this time, pa," said young Bobby: "he thinks it's Sunday." r @be ,f;rm and ?f irmfle. ASHES AGAINST VEGETABLE MATTER. A suggestive lesson may be derived from the following simple experiment: Upon one acre of land a farmer plowed in a quantity of corn-stalks, while upon another acre he spread the ashes resulting from the burning of an equal quantity of stalks. That upon which the stalks were burned gave the best start, but the acre upon which the stalks were plowed in soon caught up and surpassed the former, and finally matured the better crop. This experiment illustrates the difference between mineral fertilizers and decayed vegetable matter or humus. The minerals, being in a soluble condition, soon made themselves manifest in the increased growth produced. At first the buried corn stalks had no effect upon vegetation except by increasing the porosity of the soil and by admitting larger supplies of atmospheric air to act upon the constituents of the soil. When the stalks commenced to decay, and' the minerals were not only liberated from the stalks, but also from the soil in contact, : then the corn which was planted upon the stalks began to pull ahead of that planted upon the plot fertilized with ashes. The value and efficiency of the ashes would be sooner exhausted than the vegetable matter of thestalks. Again, where thestalks were used the fertility of the soil would be increased, because: a all probability the nitro- . ?en contained in the stalks would remain intact until liberated by their decay. This substance would be in the form of ammonia and its compounds, that would again be decomposed before becoming plant food. In burning stalks, although all the minerals would be preserved in the ashes, yet it is ! quite certain that the nitrogen would be tnerebv expelled, thus robbing the plants of the fertilizing properties of that valuable agent. We should nave made such experiments before establishing a theory, yet these suggestions might easily be followed out on i other farms ana by other farmers. i THE CULTURE OF ROOTS. The culture of root crops is profitable in more than one way. The roots are excellent for all kinds of stock, especially sheep, and 1 cows kept for making butter, and also for swine. As these special kinds of stock are well suited to our climate and locality, it < follows that we should grow root crops of < some kind for their uses. But theirculture i is exceedingly useful to the soil and im- i proves it both by means of the manure used i and the clean cultivation needed by which i the too prevalent weeds are kept down. < Boot crops are an adjunct of the best kind i of farming, and are, therefore, of great val- | ue to all farmers. They yield a very large i quantity of food, by which many animals < can be fed, and thus a large quantity of I manure is made for the enrichment of the | land. The best roots are sugar beets and man- I Efels, these bein^ devoid of any ill odor or ] flavor, which might interfere with the qual- j ity of the butter made. For all other stock i than cows, turnips or ruta-bagas may be ] used, but they are no more easily grown i than the beets and mangels, and these are s the most nutritious. The former contain 1 ibout 11 or 12 per cent, of sugar and are thus ] worth for feeding several times more than the others. Sweet potatoes are perhaps the best and most easily grown crop of this kind, as they j \re rich in sugar and starch, which are the < elements of food most useful for lattening. But they yield no more than a third as ( much as the roots above named, which will produce from 800 to *1200 bushels per acre | when well grown. As the culture of sweet | potatoes, however, is well understood all j over the Southern States, this crop might be largely grown for feeding stock and the ] 3ugar beets might be tried in a small way as a, beginning. i Neglected Fields.?There are on eve- ' ry farm some parts that have always receiv- } ed less manure and less care every way than has been given to the farm generally. They < frequently comprise the fields remote from , the barnyard, and to which for this reason j it is difficult to draw manure. The time for , this work is generally limited, and the amount drawn in a day when the distance , is doubled is so reduced that the work is 3topped, and plowing and seeding takes the ] time of teams and men. The result is that , despite the most strenuous efforts fields remote from the barnyard never get as much j manure as those near by. In some cases the neglected field is too wet for profitable ? cropping. But whatever the cause of neg- J lect, it is time that it should cease. Even at ( i low valuation for the land it locks up too j much capital for which its owner gets no return. If he lacks money to make his land ] productive, he had better sell it and use it in improving the land that remains. Some ] r?ne is alwnvs readv to huv the Doorest land and to pay nore for it than it is worth. In fact, selling the poorest part of the farm is t commonly the very best thing that can he lone with it. If its owner concentrates labor, time and manure on his worst land, he ( can only do it by neglect of his best, from ( which alone he is sure of a profit. There is ] a reason for the neglect of cultivation of < fields that have been ready for the plow a < long time, and it is usually found in the fact J that experience has proved that it does not \ pay. - Rye as a Soiling Crop.?Conclusions i Irawn from experiments at ttie Pennsylva- < nia State College of Agriculture, in relation j to the use of rye as a lorage crop for soiling, J 3how : 1. That, so far as the chemical anal- j ysis can determine, soiling rye is much in- j ferior to pasture grass as an exclusive feed, i 2. Fed with some nitrogenous substance, as , malt-sprouts, oil cake, etc., it may, in many \ instances be more profitable on account of its j much greater yield. 3. Quite old soiling , rye closely resembles the mean of first and * second crop hay in composition, but is ju- | cier, and has a yield which is greater by one , half. 4. High manuring produces a crop of \ better nutritive quality and in very much greater quantity, and no distinction was ] shown by the cattle fed against the ranker , growth. I A New Remedy for Asthma.?Pyrid- ' ine is, according to the Union Medicate, val- . uable as an auti-asthmatic, whether the af- * fection is of cardaic origin or otherwise. \ About a drachm of the drug is placed on a { plate in a small room, to which the patient pays periodical visits, of from twenty to , thirty minutes' duration, three times a day. After two or three seances the rales in the , chest disappear, the expectoration is more free, and sleep is obtained at night, or at all , events, relief from the asthmatic attacks. In some cases the improvement is perma- | nent, in others it only lasts unimpaired five or six days. Iodine treatment is then re- , quired, which is usually efficacious, but , which cannot be borne by all patients. ] Poisonous Machine Oil.?Take care j how you let any machine oil or lubricator I come in contact with a cut or scratch ont I! your hand or arm, as serious blood poisoning may result. In the manufacture of < some of these machine oils fat from diseased and decomposed animals is used. All physicians know how poisonous such matter is. ! The only safeguard is not to let any spot J where the skin is broken, be touched by 1 any machine oil or lubricator.?Power. I Distemper in a colt takes about three weeks to run its course. All the medicine ' required is a slight dose of JCpsom salts? say four to six ounces?and good nursing. Give warm bran mashes, linseed or oatmeal 1 gruel, keep the animal warm, and rub the J legs with cloths dipped in hot water, a table- ] spoonful of mustard in the water would be beneficial if the legs seem to be weak and . numb. i 46T Flour of sulphur is the great remedy employed in Canada to check mildew on ' grape vines, but the National Agricultural Society of France, in its session of a few j weeks ago, brought into prominence another remedy, which M. Pasteur says is so ef- ] fectual that the inventor should be discovered if possible and a suitable reward con- 1 ferred upon him. The remedy is a mixture 1 of milk of lime and sulphate of copper. 4ST Much time on every farm is spent in doing small jobs,and if proper conveniences for these are not furnished, the time wasted is so much clear loss. A good farmer will try to have stock, grain, hay and roots, with water, all under one roof. This enables him to do the work with the least needless labor, p .id gives more time for necessary im- < provements. miscellaneous pending. THE RION ROMANCE. The sensational story which we copied from the News and Courier last week concerning the royal descent of the late James H. Rion of Winnsboro has been exploded by Willie C. Rion, the eldest son of Colonel Rion, who, in a letter to the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, says: "True, as I told you, there are evidences that he himself believed that he was the son of the Dauphin, but, as far as prools are concerned that he was in reality such a person, there are none. Dr. R. B. Hannahan, the attending physician, at the time ol the statement, and the following morning, expressed it as his opinion that father was under the influence of morphine. The article 'Blood of the Bourbons,' as yesterday printed, is in nearly all particulars erroneous, and as far as publication by the family is concerned, that is simply ridiculous. You can deny the truth of the statement - - - - - *-. 1 -i .? as published, upon my authority, anu aisu state that father was under the influence of morphine when the strange story was told by him." The Augusta Chronicle thus curtly disposes of the question: The son of King Louis XVI, known as the Dauphin, died no doubt in childhood, the victim of the French Revolution. It appears that, under the influence of morphine, in his last days, Col. Rion, of Winsboro, imagined that he was the son of the Dauphin, who survived the cruelties of his keeper, married and had issue. The family of Col. Rion repudiate this idea and take no stock in professions of royal descent. Some years ago, Rev. Eleazar Williams made a similar claim. Anybody who has Putnam's Magazine can go through the whole case circumstantially. The Dauphin died in childhood. We have no mysterious Bourbon Princes or their descendants in America. All claims on that score are simply historical paradoxes, just as the attempt of some romancers to convert Michael Rudolph, of Lee's Legion, into Marshal Ney. The Dauphin died in boyhood. Michael Ney was shot and killed in Paris. They are still dead. THE SNUFF-HOX STORY. A correspondent of the Newberry Herald ind News says that just before the breaking out of our war a highly educated Swede, named Hammerskold, settled in Lincolnton, N. C., to engage in the iron business; that abandoning his business to enter the Confederate army, he became impoverished, and that alter the war, in order to raise money, he sold a valuable diamond-studded jold snuff box, said to have been a gift of the King of Sweden, to Col. L. D. Childs, of Columbia, who subsequently presented it to Col. Rion. The correspondent thinks that this Is the alleged Orleans snuff box. He is correct. The snuff box bears the letter 0., and a crown set in diamonds. It has not the Orleans Monogram. The initial is probably that of Oscar I, king of Sweden ind Norway, born 1759. Col. Rion's family knew the history of this snuff box, and his reference to it, as a proof of his Orleans descent, they considered an evidence that he cvas under the influence of morphine when tie made his dying declaration.

Little Flossie had kept up a chatter all through the meal, and grandma could hardly squeeze in a word point first. Finally jrandma said : "Flossy, you talk too much.

Grandma didn't attempt to answer that argument .?Chicago News. A little girl of five, anxious to do a little work on her doll's dress, sat down last Sunday with needle and thread, and began sewing. Her mother told her to put her things away, because it was Sunday, adding: "You know God does not like to have you sew on Sunday." The little girl laid aside her needle and remained thinking for a few moments, when she broke out with: "Mamma, do you suppose He would care if I ripped a little ?"?Boston Budget.

Those African Martyrs.?There have ieen no martyrs who have shown themselves made of sterner stuff than Africans. It seems amazing to think of the transforation of superstitious, fetich barbarians into Christians in the first rank. Here are two instances given by the missionaries of Uganda, of negro martyrs under Mwanga's ;ruel order. These are not of the first cen:ury, but of the latest; nor where Chris;ianity has been longestablished, but where yesterday it was not. The story runs thus: "Fredi was an earnest Christian, whose life was a cause of deep thankfulness to the missionaries. He had been zealous in :eaching others and winning them to Christ. When the young converts were murdered lie was standing by. The fierce chief who was executing Mwanga's commands turned :o Fredi and threatened to burn him and tiis whole family. Fredi replied : 'Well, lo so ; I am a (Christian, ar d I am not tfraid.' After the execution he took Mr. Ashe, one of the missionaries to visit the scene of the martyrdom. 'When we reachid it.' says Mr. Ashe, 'he kneeled with me, ind poured out his heart to God that He would bring his salvation to those in darkless.' Fredi was warned to flee. He refused, and at last was taken, unmercifully ilubbed to death, and then flung into the lames. "Roberto, another Christian, was a member of the native Church Council. He was engaged in holding prayers in his home with several lads, when the executioners suddenly appeared. All the lads save one bolted through the thin reed Avail of the house and escaped. Roberto remained. 'Do not be afraid that I will shoot you,' cried the Christian; 'come in and take me.' They bound him and took him with the young lad to the king. 'Doyou read?' said Mwanga. 'Yes.' 'Take him and roast him,' was the summary sentence. The lad was sentenced at the same time, but was released on the payment of a ransom by his friends. Roberto was kept a few days in the stocks. Then one of his arms was cut Dflf and roasted before his eyes; next a leg was cut off and burned ; then the whole body was burned. "After the massacre of the Christians the head executioner reported to the king that he had never killed men who showed such fortitude and endurance, and that they had prayed aloud to God in the fire." Railroad Buiilding 40 Years Ago.? When the scheme to build a railroad from Greenville to Columbia was inaugurated in L84G, Columbia people looked upon it as visionary. The leaders in the undertaking were General Waddy Thompson and Mr. [afterwards Governor) Perry, of Greenville. The apathy of Columbia toward the proposed road caused Messrs. Thompson and Perry, in some of their speeches, to threaten to "pass round" that city. The Southern Chronicle of October 184G, replying to this threat said: "We inform the General and his coadjutor that the reason why no zeal has been manifested here is simply because our capitalists consider it a mere bubble scheme, utterly impracticable and uncalled for." And in the same paper of October 28,184G, we find the following in reply to the Greenville Mountaineer, of which Mr. Perry was editor: "The editor of the Mountaineer says we are 'a long ways behind the age,' becau we do not advocate the Utopian scheme a railroad from this place to Greenvil With all due courtesy, we take the liber of doubting the maturity of the judgme 1 of our brother of the Mountaineer on t subject of railroads.

Color and the Complexion.?T study of colors with regard to their effe upon the complexion seems to be consid< ed one of vast depth and growing impoi ance to the fashionable world. It has i , ally come to be necessary that a lady wl would depend upon her own taste and jud ment in this matter should have a gre deal of artistic culture. Consequently it our purpose to lay before our readers it condensed and concise form all the inform tion we can glean from the various sourc open to us. The most satisfactory way of illustratii for one's self the laws of contrast in coloi as applied to their effect on thecomplexic and the manner in which it is modified 1 the juxtaposition of different hues, is hold something of a certain color in t hand, and after looking at it for sevei minutes, look from it to the hand. Aft looking at green the hand will seem to suffused by a delicate rose color; pink w give a general green tinge; yellow will gi purple, and blue, orange.

A CRAND BENEVOLENCE. he THE WORK OF ONE YEAR. ite its rpHEgreatfratornalbeneficiarysociety,known ,m 1 as the KNIGHTS OF HONOR, which has so rapidly extended itself all over the United _ ' States, die! a grand work in 1886. During the year 1886, there was distributed in local charities through the medium of 2600 subordinate lodges scattered throughout the country, ?120,000. This ht- fund was distributed without 'any cost of dishe bursement, and went at once and "most oppor;u tunely to the needy. While this sum is a handj*y some one in the aggregate, yet it was distributed ag_ without being felt by any member, and was less 'l than ?1,00 for each member of the order. The ec readiness with which the call for aid is respond[8S ed toby the membership is most commendable, he When Charleston was visited by the terrible n- earthquakes of last summer, liberal contribuhe tions were sent forward by the various lodges aj. throughout the country, and only ceased to go forward when no more were needed. Aside from these noble charities, this greatbejY* nevolent order teaches its membership to prohe vide for those dependent upon them, when the 3., members shall be called away from earth. It )r. provides that a benefit of ?2,000 shall be paid to ,m the family of every member who dies in good jji t standing "in the order. This fund is raised by ~ 'assessments upon each individual member. ' During 1886, twenty-one assessmenis were called to the Supreme Lodge Treasury, and there was pt paid out from the sum thus realized, in death or benefits tn the families and denendents of de of ceased members, during the year, $3,123,000. These payments went, in the main, to those who ig* otherwiso would have left nothing for the support of their families. They were enabled to do "" this for the'reason that the assessments are paid P* in sums of one or two dollars per month for each ill member, through the agency of his Subordinate Dn Lodge-. 30 When we add to this benefit fund of $3,123,000, ;g the $120,000 disbursed as local charities, we have ' the grand total of $3,243,000 disbursed by the . KNIGHTS OP HONOR during 1880.

By the t use of this wad the recoil of a gun is lessened, the p distribution of the shot is more regular, and the p range and penetration are greator. Another ad- d vantage is that the gun is kept cleaner than t when any other wad is used. Try them. They t are put up in boxes holding 250 wads and are t made in two grades. The price for the first grade is forty cents per box ; the second grade twenty- a five cents. The first grade should bo used over p the powder?the second grade o<*er the shot, a The first grade wads are from one-half to three- a eights of an inch in thickness, which makes them a cheaper than any other wad in the market, as t only one of the first grade wads is necessary on e the powder, and one of the second grade over r the shot, to give the best results. If you use a i 12 gauge gun with brass shells, buy No. D wads. I; For paper shells use No. 11 wads. * For guns of a different gauge, for brass shells, use a wad three sizes larger than the bore; for paper shells, one size larger. By this means the gases from the Eowder will be perfectly confined and the very est results obtained. Sample boxes will be sent by mail on receipt of forty cents for the first grade, and twenty-five cents for the second grade. Address, E. A. SHARRETTS, Secretary, P. 0. Box 307, Baltimore, Md.

IRON ROOFING IN THE WORLD. 3 ly INTER-STATES LIFE ASSOCIATION, STAUNTON, VA. M. ERSKINE MILLER, President. ('. L. COOKE, Secretary. GEORGE C. JORDAN, General Agent. rHE immense amount of Life Insurance carried in this country makes it of National mportance that heads of families should be able 3 secure it as cheaply as possible consistent with afety. Especially is this necessary for the milions of men in moderate circumstances, who * aust earn their living by hard knocks and in lie face of a competition that is becoming keenr and sharper every day. If life insurance is not safe it is not worth carying, and if it is too costly, the men who most 1 *' * ! 1 ?*1 LT?*tf /-? ?v-> n 1-a if Krvtli ieeu it cannoi curry it uu. iiu? iaj umno i> uv.u afo and cheap is the problem of the day, and he who aolves it will have done a great and batriots service for his fellow men. The Old Line Companies are cerFainly safe when honestly aanaged, but their rates are so high, that only he rich can afford to carry such an amount as would provide for a family, while the great mass f men, and those, too, whose families most need irotection, are compelled to go without insurncc, or seek it in the assessment companies or ecret orders. The fact that these cheaper instiutions are to-day furnishing more insurance han all the Old Line companies combined, shows iow eager are the mass of citizens for insurance hat is within reach of their means. While these rders and corporations are furnishing insurance heap enough, yet, at best, they can only be ooked upon as temporary expedients and notalogether satisfactory. But it is plain, that somewhere between the bid line and assessment plans hero must be a middle ground, which is not nly safe, but jiust and fair to all parties. THE INTER-STATES LIFE ASSOCIATION d Staunton, Va., has sought earnestly and honstly to find this middle ground. In this search hey have, at large expense, consulted and emdoyed the foremost actuaries and insurance exlerts in this country, and upon their recommenlation have adopted a line of rates which is enirely safe, and yet, is in the reach of every hrifty and industrious man who desires to proect his family against his death. To ascertain this safe rate, they added to the :c/Kcddeath cost experienced by theold linecom>anies an ample reserve, and "then a reasonable mount for expenses and profits, but so limited s to compel economical management. So plain nd fair and popular are its methods that over hree millions of business was done in the first ight months work. Its rates are fixed, and nustbo paid, deaths or no deaths, but are divided nto two, four, or six payments a year, as may >est suit the convenience of the applicant.
