them as the same people. Elevation of
mind imparts grace and dignity to form
and features; bnt of all sentiments, be-
nevolence to our fellow-men, and pure,

ingredients. We defy any woman to

New Form OF Insurance Suggezted.
Would it not be better for every town
to be Its own insurance company? Men
viii start at the idea of paying an enor-
nous tax. But that Is all moonshine.
Towns would in most cases be better of.
In many cases, if money could not be
made, a good deal would be saved in the
town. Sometimes insurance companies
fail, Just as sofie men fail IN trade. Not
always because they were obliged to fail
but more frequently to make more money
by the transaction. If insurance comps
nies can make money enoughto pay large
salaries to their officers. and grow rich
besides, then why would it not be policy
for each town to save this money to pay
its own officers, and to increase its wealth?
Many men pay all the way from 81 TO
$4,000 insurance every year, and much
of it is carried out of the State. They
pay more than the, risk amounts to. If
they did not there would be no profits
for the insurance company. Why could
not those very sums be added to the taxes
that such men pay? then the town where
they live could well afford to insure
their property. In thatcas many would
willingly be insured, who have always
let their property GO without insurance.
Now if man loses his house by FIRE,
subscription goes round to help make up
his loss, if he has no insurance. But
how much more just and easy it would
be for the whole town to make up his loss.
Such men are frequently careless, and
win carry open candles to their barns in
the evening. and it is nobody's business.
until they get burnt out and ask others to
helpthem. But if the town insured their
property, it would be every body's busi-
ness to reproye them for their care
lessness.
Then it would be for the interest of the
town to have good engines and engine
companies. Now, there is the greatest
indifference manifested, except in the
large villages and cities.
Now, in places where there are no fire
companies, hundreds of genteel loafers
will stand and see buildings burnt down
and not doany thing towards saving them:
but if the taxes were to meet the loss,
those men would have an interestat stake.
|. Then the poor man would pay but liz
tie, and nothing for insurance in addition
to his usual tax unless he had property
to be insured, nor would the rich man be
taxed for insurance unless he had some
thing to insure.
Then all men would be insured so far
as they had property that was liable to be
destroyed. Now every person insured
must pay the premium in advance, and
then pay dollar for what? Why, for
writing the policy. A dollar for nothing.
In this way there are almost dollars
enough paid away in some towns to pay
the poll tax.
Insurance companies frequently fail
and pay nothing. When man is well
insured, he ought to get the insurance
company insured against failure. But
if the town insures his property there
would not be half the risk.

The "oldest inhabitants win rcmem-
Der the severe winter experienced eigh-
teen years ago this winter, when the
hastily erected tenements afforded but
little protection to settlers, against the
lnciemencies unlocked for in Wiscon-
SIN winter. Twelve years ago the snow
fell to an unusual depth, and remained on
the ground till well into April six years
ago, We experienced another winter, re-
markahle for its severity and long con-
tihuance and the present winter holds
good in the ordinal of skies. Every
sixth year. for the past twenty years. has
certainly been remarkable for its long and
severe winter, so much 50 as to be 'smade

Camphene Making.

The method of making camphene is
very simple. A large, closely covered
copper kettle is half filled with turpen-
tine, and pipe from steam boiler passes
through the bottom of the kettle. The
pipe is pierced with number of holes
through which the steam passes into the
turpentine and through it. With the
steam of the water rises a good deal of
steam from the turpentine and the two
vapors are carried off to condenser
The condenser is cylindrical kettle,
which contains number of smaller CYL
inders; and every alternate space between
the cylinders is filed with cold water,
and through the other alternate spaces
the steam is passed !; asst passes, itcools,
and eondenses, and runs off into box.
Turpentine is of an oily nature and will
not unite with water, but being lighter,
-swims upon the top of it. So it is in the
box last mentioned /; the water and cam
phene runs from the condenser together,
but no sooner fall into the box than the
camphene rises upon the top and runs off
pure by spigot at the bottom of the.
box.
Such is the whole process of making
camphene, which is only purified or dis
TILED turpentine. In common turpentine
there is good deal of pitch and other
impure substances, which cannot 90 off
in the steam The best turpentine pro-
duees gallon for gallon of camphene but
in distilling ordinary turpentine there is
loss of from 2 to 10 per cent. A large
quantity of water-eight gallons, to one
of turpentine-are used. The steam in
the boiler is kept at pressure of about
so pounds to the square inch, for the
purpose of giving it a strong impulse
through the turpentine. For fear of fire,
the boiler is separated from the kettle by
metal partition.
Camphene is French discovery, and
it was some time kept secret; but the
briiliancy of the light led to such in
quiry that the secret was made public,
and the new light was introduced into the
United States about fifteen years ago

bow to Become a millionaire.

Mr. MeDonough, the millionaire of
New Orleans, has engraved upon his
tomb series of maxims, which he had
prescribed as the rules for his guidence
through life. and to which his success in
business is mainly attributable. They
are sound and contain much practical
wisdom.
"RuLEs FOR THE GUIDANCE OF MY
LIFE, 1804.-Remember always that la
Dor is one of the conditions of our exist
enee. Time is gold; throw not one
minute away, but place each one to ac-
count. Do unto all men as you would
be done by. Never put off until to-mor-
row what you can do to-day. Never
bid another do what you can do yourself.
Never coyet what is not Jour own. New
er think any matter so tlifing as not to
deserve notice. Never give out that
which does not first come in. Never
spend but to produce. Let the greatest
order regulate the transactions of your
life. Study in your course of life to do
the greatest amount of good.
deprive yourself of nothing neces-
sary to your comfort, but live in an hon.
orable simplicity and frugality. Labor,
then, to the last moment of your exist
ence. Pursue strictly the above rules,
and the Divine blessing and riches of
every kind will flow upon you to your
hearts content but first of all, remem-
Der that the chief and great study pof
our life should be to tend, by all means
in our power, to the honor and glory Of
our Divine Creator. John McDonough,
New Orleans. March e, 1904. The con-
clusion to which I.have arrived is, that,
without temperance. there is no health ;
without virtue, no order; without relig-
ion, no happiness and that the aim of
our being is to live wisely. soberly and
righteously."
