5__J?_ _ WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8, 1898. Advice From Arp. Young Men Should Insure for the Bene? fit of Relatives. Atlanta Constitution., If I bad my life to live over again I would insure it. I would begin at twenty-one. I would take a life policy for the beuefit of my wife or my mother or my sister or somebody near and dear to me. If 1 was poor 1 would insure for $1,000, for that would take only $9 twice a year Any yoong man could pay that much and if he died young the thousand dol? lars would help his mother or his wife or his sister so much. Funerals are expeuarve nowadays, and a poor man can't affotd to die unless Iiis life is insured. If ayoug man who is get? ting from $50 to $100 salary does not spend anything for whiskey or cigars he could safely take a policy for $3, 000 and pay $2T twice i. year. If he was twenty five years old it would cost him only $30 semi-annually. Not as much as his cigars. If hir> salary was $15u a month bc could arl jrd $10 of it each month for insurance, and that would carry a policy of $5,000. What a blessing that sum would be to the wife or the mother or the sis ter. I know a youug man who carries $10,000 for his father and mother. They arc old and poor Ile supports them out of his earnings, but fears he might die before they cfo and then they would be helpless If be outlives them the policy then becomes his own. Life insurance U the best savings bank' in tbe world for a young man. He gets it so cheap. Now here I am, old and poor, and carrying only $2,000" on my life and it costs me ? 1 To a year and it is abar? struggle to meet the premiums. 1 began only five years ago. Too late, too late, but 1 most bold on until I whip the fight. PH whip it sure if 1 should hold on for oid Father Time is backing me. If 1 had begun at twenty-one or twenty five the premiums would have been about $?0 and the dividends would have paid that long before tin's. I beard a man say the other day thal he paid on $10.000 for twenty years and now has a paid np policy and draws dividends on it just like it was stock in a bank. I wish 1 bad done that when I was a young man YVould ent it to be glorious if I had such a document for my wife and the girls. But if a young man seriously objects to make money by dying for it let bim take out au -endowment pol i cy for twenty or twenty-five years. It wi!! cost him about twice as much, but he can, if he lives, walk up to the captain's office and call for his money and do what he pleases with it. If he happens to die beforehand his wife or h is mother or his sister can draw it for him. Every youug man shookl take out two policies if he can, one for life and one on thc endowment plan- one for others and one for himself. It is a comfortable thing for a man of forty-five to have a paid up policy that is drawing divi? dends. It is still more comforting for a widow or a sister or a child to in? herit both policies if he should die before he expected'to Insuring one's life for the beuefit of others is the most unselfish act that a young man can perform No selfish or thoughtless young man will do it. It is like looking death square in the face-bot few young men will do that. It is the next thing to getting religion It is a confession of mortality. But death is a f?ct, and if the young mau would stop and think, he would take a business view of it and leave thc religion out of the question. Let bim ponder upon the fact that not half of the men at twenty-five live to be fifty -that half his life is already gone, that the chances are against him, that he will leave somebody beb iud him who has been dependent upon him and may suffer without him. Then if he is a reasonable mau be must admit that he ought to insnre bis life, while it coats so little, and not wait till it couts so much. Why not ? For forty-four years I have insured my house and furniture, and no fire yet The insurance com? pany has got al! of that money for good, and yet I have taken comfort ail that time I have slept better at home and felt better when abroad in knowing that if a fire did come and destroy my dwelling the loss would be made good That fire may never come, but herc is a case where death is sure to come -a death which in most cases of manhood deprives the family of one of Hs pillars-perhaps its chief sup? port?-and yet bow few of the young married men are carrying a policy for the wife and children. They are just going it blind. It looks like defying fate for a young mau whose only income is his wages to live a day without a policy. He can't afford to. Even the rich insure their lives as an investment lu fact if I could make the laws I would require every yoong man to take a policy for at least $1,000 when he applies for a marriage license. If lie couldn't raise (?8 or $20 to protect the girl he loved for one year, he is not fitten to have ber nor fitten to get fitten. If he beg?b with a policy he would be very apt to keep ott The ordinary should be prohibited from issuing a license unless the policy was pro doced and was approved by him A young married mau has no right to die and leave a widow and one or two children helpless. A policy of one or two thousand dollars would be a good document to court on. Every man should pay his own j funeral expenses aud not die a pauper ! There is a family pride about such j things, and the parents of the widow j will sacrifice everything for the loved j one. The doctor's bills, the drug hula, the burialcase, the burial lot, thc carriage8,the hearse and the mourning ai! cost money A few mouths ago a young man of our town died away from home. Iiis life was devoted to h is mother and his sisters, but it Wfcs not insured and the express charges and other expenses have ! beeo a grievous burden. How easily ! he could have carried a policy of j $1,000. ont of which he could have been buried and left a good sum for bis widowed mother. I wonder how many of thc travel? ing young men carry a policy for their BIO}:her or their sisters. Filial love is a sweet and blessed thing, and the jccasiona? visits of the boys to their homes is a comfort and joy, but when death comes untimely and unexpected the-bere&ved ones can't live on sor? row I was ruminating about ail this because one ot our boys has sent home a duplicate of a policy that he lias taken out for the benefit of his sisters Ile will keep it alive as long as he lives. Ile will do more. He will look after and protect them when the parents have passed away. That is a parent's great concern-what will become of the girls-the unmarried ones-when we are dead ? Will they have to live in penury or ac cept a home with kindted-a home where they are perhaps not wanted and where the feeling of dependence is ever bet?re them And so 1 thought I would write a letter and encourage young men who love their sifters to carry a reasonable policy for their benefit. 1 know many girls who have been to the worlds fair on a bounty, and that is all right, but it will be still better to take a life policy for their benefit and keep the premium punctually paid Twenty years ago i carried one in the old Knickerbocker for the benefit of my wife, but the company failed and I quit in disgust But they don't fail now. There are plenty of good com? panies solid as a rock and there is no excuse Stop, young man-stop and think - and I know that you will agree with me. Let us all take care of the girls, married or unmarried, if they are needy or dependent BILL ARI?. POPULATION FACTS. SCOTLAND'S population in the middle of last year was 4,063,453-1,961,401 males and 2,103,051 females. A CENSUS of the Hu ngarian gypsies taken on the last day of January this [year shows the total number of that curious people in Hungary to be 185, 000. - THERE is a resident population in the business district of Chicago of 162,000, the large proportion of whom are young" men. In 'Jns territory there are but six churches. THERE are 155:000 Canadians in the chief cities of the United States, 38,000 of them, mostly French Canadians, in ;Boston, 24,000 in Chicago, 18,000, most? ly Eng?ishXJanadians, in Detroit, 10,000 in Buffalo and 8,000 in New York. LITERARY PICKINGS. JOHN A. BELL, late managing editor of the Detroit Free Press, began his career as an omce boy in that office, which he never left.1 IN the recently published "Essays" of the late Sir Morell Mackenzie the observation is made that it i6 only singers who preserve the purity of lan? guage. MAST ANDERSON NAVARRO'S favorite relaxation is chess-playing, and she re? sorts to it when she is weary with her present task of preparing her reminis? cences for publication. THE building of the proposed free library in Philadelphia will cost near? ly $1,000,000. All citizens will be enti? tled to the use of. it without charge, and they will be allowed to take books to their homes. SPORT THE WORLD OVER. THE favorite method of fishing in China is with a trained cormorant. CONDERS have been killed in Peru with wings of forty feet spread. NINE young women recently engaged in a wood-sawing contest, for prizes, at Beaver Dam, Wis. A SACK SEWER in a Pendleton (Ore.) flourmill challenges the northwest for the championship on his record of sew? ing up six hundred fifty-pound sacks inside five hours, or about two sacks a minute. A FARCE comedy company on the road announces that it has given four hundred performances with great suc? cess in New York. Neither play nor actors are familiar to the metropolitan public, but that sort of thing ia done all the time. Pertdan Needlework. The difference between Persian and the needlework we aro accustomed to see seems to lio in the thoroughness sincerity an artist would call it-of the former. Every stitch is taken w*th mathematical precision, and there is no slighting at any point. The wrong side of the work is as admirable in its way as the right side. In some specimens stitches cover the design on both sides, the needle being carried across under? neath, tis i^is in the embroidering of china crape shawls. On other pieces the needle is put back toward the wrong side close by the place it was drawn through, thus throwing all the work up on the right side and leading what l?eles like beautifully regular outline work ou the reverse. This is the method used ;u working sofa pillows, table covers <>r anything which only exposes one s.u-\ But for curtains, handkerchiefs, shawls, etc., the double faced embroidery is in? variably used. A favorite method of this Persian worker is the introduction of texts or sentences upon the border or center of her pieces. The lettering is so quaint, angular and disconnected that at the first look it seems like a geometric pat? tern. On one white linen table cover, heavily worked in flowers and foliage with gray silk,'was a border of lettering wrought in gold thread. The characters were ?bout 4 inches tall, and the senti? ment they conveyed, "God is great: God is good," took up a very short space, but the text was repeated again and again. Harper's Bazar. The Tired Man Got a Seat. The car was crowded, but a delicate looking man, lady, who was evidently his wife, and a little girl of 6 or 7 crowd? ed in. A gentleman near the door po? litely gave Ms seat to the lady, but the delicate man was left standing. After several blocks had been traversed a pret? ty woman in the corner of the car asked the child if she would not like to sit down. "No, t auk you," lisped the little one, "I don't care to sit down, but my papa is very tired. He would like to sit in your lap." The roar of laughter that went up from the other passengers made f'e horses quicken their pace, and the pret? ty woman got out at the next corner. Washington Post. He Added In the Date. A party of business men were discuss? ing their troubles the other day, and particularly the difficulties that occasion? ally confronted their bookkeepers. "Not long ago," said one of them, "my book? keeper had a great time balancing his books. He couldn't make them balance at all. and every time he weat over his accounts he found he was $18.92 short. He came to me at last and said that somewhere there was an error, but he couldn't find it. I took the balance sheets and looked over them, and what do yon suppose I found? I discovered that he had added in the date at the head of one of the columns, 1892. That ex? plained the mistake at once."--Cincin? nati Commercial Gazette. CANNIBALISM ON THE CONGO. Terrible Atrocities Revealed by a Noted Belgian Explorer In Africa. The accounts given by the Belgian ex? plorer, F. de Meuse, of the state of af? fairs on the upper reaches of the Congo show that atrocities and cannibalism of the most terrible nature are practiced there still. Daring the three years and three months M. de Meuse was traveling in the country he everywhere saw that human ?fe was held in the lightest pos? sible regard. Indeed human beings, both men and women, were for sale in every village for the purpose of being killed and eaten. The individuals who were slaves ap? peared indifferent as to their fate. They invariably had a forklike branch of a tree tied around their necks, which pre? vented their walking about. Purchasers could come and select which part of the living man's flesh they would buy, and when the poor fellow was killed the flesh indicated was apportioned out. This practice prevailed in every village, and "tomtoms" were sounded to tell people of the approaching slaughter. The vic? tim sat down with the tree branch round bis neck and was generally killed by a sharp instrument being thrust into his side near the heart. Cannibalism was practiced throughout the whole district, and in his three years* travels M. de Meuse went from Matidi past Stanley falls. The bands of slaves organized by the Arabs whenever there was a scarcity of rice or other food sub? sisted on their fellow creatures. This was carried to such a pitch that after a fight. the natives would whip out their knives and cut pieces of flesh from any of their comrades who had fallen. M. de Meuse said it would be no advantage buying one of these men waiting to be slaughtered for food, as with the pro? ceeds of his sale the owner would be able to buy, say, two or three more, so that in saving one life three others would be sacrificed. Scarcely a week passed during M. cte Meuse's journey but he had to fight with the natives, whose weapons were ar? rows. On one occasion he lost 35 of his men out of 50 and had to fall back on a large Arab village for safety. M. de Meuse came on the railway to Matidi. ft is about 20 miles in length, and the most difficult part of the work has been completed. M. do Meuse expected great results to civilization and trade from the railway in question. Ho calculated it would take three generations to lapse after the introduction of civilization be? fore cannibalism could hope to be eradi? cated.-Liverpool Mercury. L'uique Newspapers. At Prince Albert, a remote but busy village in the Canadian Northwest, a weekly newspaper is or recently was regularly published in the handwriting of its proprietor, editor, reporter, adver? tising agent and printer, the five being one man. The paper appeared in purple ink from a gelatin copying press or hektograph. and its editorials and local news were usually so clearly presented that the lit? tle journal was influential in the terri? tories, was read with avidity in the news? paper offices of eastern Canada and con? stantly quoted as an authority. Butt the most curious paper of all is that described by G. A. Sala as former? ly published in The Deccan. This pa?>er was lithographed every morning on a square of white cotton cloth. After having perused it tho subscrib? ers employed it as a pocket handker? chief. Then they sent it to the local washerwoman, who returned it a clean square of white cotton to the publisher, who lithographed and issued the same sheets again and again.-San Francisco Post._ Chivalry Still Extant. Two young women came in for lunch and seated themselves at a table where one of the opposite sex was attending to his bodily wants. The girls ordered their repast and worked their way through it and then took out their purses to obtain the needful before going up to the cash desk. One of them grew rosy red about the face and whispered to the other: "Oh, Jennie, 1 have only 30 cents, and 1 have ordered a quarter's worth. Lend me a nickel, will your "Why, I haven't a cent over the price of my own dinner," returned her com? panion. And the cheeks of the first girl grow rosier. But the good Samaritan who saf opposite scented what was wrong and deftly changed his check for that of the blushing diner. Then quick? ly rising he reached for his hat and made his exit before she had time to say a word.-Minneapolis Tribune. Editor Stead's New Fad. Editor Stead has hit upon a new sen? sation. He is no longer, for the present at least, interested in spooks. He desires tc exorcise out of the inveterate toper the love of alcohol, and he advertises in the columns of a daily contemporary for half a dozen first class drunkards. Some friend has communicated to him the se? cret of a perfect cure, and he desires to try it on half a dozen besotted victims of the infirmity. The "mixture" is as yet a secret, but Mr. Stead, as a public philanthropist, will by and by make it known.-London Letter. - - 4 A Countess Ia Sore Straits. The Countess Louise Cianciana, it is itated, now sells matches on the steps of the palace of Monte Citorio, where the Italian legislature meets, a body over which her husband presided as speaker some years ago. The count was also one of Garibaldi's most distin? guished associates, mayor of Rome, etc., all of which is duly set forth upon a placard which the countess wears hung around her neck while having mai ches for sale. A Delicate Distinction. "Is it true that Maud Flyppe received a proposal from old Stockson?" * "It is. He told her that if she would marry him he would settle $.5,000 a year on her, pay for her dresses and give her a trip to Europe once a year." "That wasn't a proposal. It was a proposition."-Indianapolis Journal. Speaking Extempore. To speak extempore is one of the rocks upon which club women oftenest go to pieces. Women who can write brilliant papers find themselves lame and helpless if called u?x>n to expressan opinion with? out notes. It has been said that the ability to think on one's feet is a matter more of temj)erament than education, and that some people can never learn to do that, let them try as they will. The women's clubs have demonstrated the falsity of this assertion. Many women who were seemingly hopelessly tongue tied at their first efforts have b<\,-ome by practice flu? ent extemporaneous s?>eak?rs, It is a practice of many clubs to have frequent meetings during the season where no paj>ers are ?>ermitted, and the value of this experience is shown in a marked gain in confidence among the members. Of course magnetism of man? ner is individual and cannot be culti? vated, but simple ease and fluency can. Her Point of view in New York Times. Trust Not the Personal Tuff. A woman joumaliKt lately showed an? other a highly ?omplimentary sketch of the first which had >>een written by a friend. "I did not know,'' said the second, glancing over the matter, "that you had written so much magazine stuff." The other laughed. "I haven't," she confessed. "I told the author of that of a little tale that was published by Harper's once upon a time, and she de? clared she was going to dress me up more than that. So she said that I had con? tributed to all the leading periodicals in ? he country." This performance of writ ir g a friend up is very common, and as de from the very apparent evil of false statement is fruitful in luring young wo? men into a profession where the prizes are so declaredly tempting and readily obtained.-Philadelphia Press. Luxurious Parisian Baths. In Paris, most modern and enlightened of continental cities, baths are luxuries, not necessities. Bathing establishments, where you can have a "bain simple" for a franc and a half (30 cents), or any other kind for more, are scattered all over the great city, but houses and small hotels, where stationary tubs are to be found, are exceedingly rare. The French peasant, deprived of much water for irrigation in his flat country land, has too high a respect for it to use it recklessly. The middle class Parisian thinks he is as well without too many baths, not to speak of the colds and bother they entail, and the high bred Parisians take their morning douche either at a "water cure"-they are all mad on the subject-or have a tub rolled up to their bedside. When madame indulges in the latter luxury, it is brought from the nearest bathing establishment. The tub, a large porcelain affair on rollers, is carried up as many flights of stairs as you wish and set down in your room. The hot and cold water is then brought up in big cans, and even soap and. towels are sup? plied if you wish it. Madame usually has a bran bath, and the small bags con? taining the bran, made of cheesecloth, are thrown into the tub for her to use. When she has finished her ablutions, the paraphernalia is carried away. All this costs about 40 cents.-New York World. Flowering Cactuses. it is more than probable that some day many of the beautiful flowering cac? tuses will hold a far higher position than is at present occupied by them in most gardens, for they are certainly not near? ly so popular as might be supposed when the beauty of their flowers and simple cultural requirements are taken into consideration. The large, vivid col? ored blossoms of many of the cereuses or phyllocactuses, as they are also called, are not equaled for gorgeousness by any other group of greenhouse plants. True, they do not remain long in perfection, but still a succession is kept up for a considerable time. To the amateur whose indoor garden is represented by a single glass structure, these flowering cactuses have much to recommend them, as they occupy but a comparatively small space, need very little repotting, are not much troubled by insect pests, and where at all favor? ably situated may be depended upon to flower well. As is generally known, propagation of these cactuses is a very easy matter^ for if a branch be broken off and then potted it will almost invaria? bly strike root, provided always that it is not overwatered. Washing Day Axioms. According to Good Housekeeping it is well to remember: That. Monday is the best day of all the week tb wash, if one can, especially in warm weather. That the sooner* clothes are washed after being soiled, the easier they wash That a white "soap, free from rosin, is best to wash clothing with, as they do not turn yellow if laid away for a time, and it leaves no unpleasant odor. That cheap soap is dear in the end. That soft water is decidedly the best for washing. That if we cannot get it, ammonia or borax is a great help, better than wash? ing powder. That if Monday proves a stormy day the white clothes, after washing, should be put into clean water and wait for the hanging until farr weather. Thai calicoes and flannels should not be washed untiV iair weather. Vine* Climblug Over Trees. Some persons suppose that ivy is in? jurious to trees. As high authority as Meehan says that this is not the case as long as the brancheagrow in a perfectly upright condition. When the ivy or any other vine is allowed to encircle a trunk, checking the perfect flow of the sap, it will injure the trees, but in no other way. Sometimes branches will be allowed to extend over the spreading i>ortion of the trees, getting up among the leaves and interfering thereby with the ability of the spread of the trees to get nourish? ment through its leaves. Then it is also an injury. It isno uncommon thing to see trees and shrubs entirely destroyed by the vines which grow over them, not because of any injury by the attach? ment, but simply by the leaves of the vine overshadowing those of the tree over which the vines are straggling. Costly Perfuming. There waa quite a rage some years ago in the east for perfuming the skin. Some physicians discovered that the hypoder? mic injection of certain perfumes, such as white rose, lilac or violet, under the skin caused the perfume to be exhaled from the whole body and even from the breath. All the ladies wanted to be per? fumed. The operation had to be repeat? ed about once a week in order to secure the desired results. But unfortunately two or three of the perfumed ones took bad cases of blood poisoning, and one or two died. That put a quietus on the hypodermic injection of perfume, and the whole matter dropped.-Chicago Herald. College by Post. In England the "college by post" 6ys- ' tem has enrolled about 4,000 students and over 200 teachers. In this organiza? tion, women of leisure volunteer to teach girls who have not the means or time to attend school. It is all done gratuitous? ly and by mail. Girls wishing instruc? tion in any special branch write to the head of the system and are assigned to some volunteer teacher in that branch. In this country the same work is car? ried on by the Kings' Daughters, under Miss Kate Bond.-London Letter. Wanted to l?e Newsboys.

"Yes, sir, that's the first money I've spent in 10 years. Managed to get enough to eat and clothes to wear all that time, too, but those 10 years were spent in the penitentiary up here."
