THE NAroNAL LnR INSURANCE COMP
ANY. We have taken occasion before
to refer to the organization, the person
mel, and the manner Of operation OF the
National Life Insurance Company of
America, which is advertised in our
columns. The great success OF the
Company, as demonstrated from month
to month, warrants repeated allusion
to its peculiar features. We learn that
up to the first Of May-a period Of but
nine months from its organization
this Company had issued not less than
five thousand policies, although It's sys-
tenn Of agencies was far from complete.
As is generally known, the Company
has authority from Congress to do bus
mess in any State Of the Union. 1t
has now agents actively at work upon
the Pacific Coast, and by the expira-
ton Of its first year, it viii have cover
ed nearly, if not all, our own country,
as well as the Dominion Of Canada.
These facts show that the plan upon
which the Company does business COM
mends itself TO popular favor. There
is good reason why this should be SO.
Tie rates Of the Company are low; it
avoids all complications or uncertain
ties Of notes or dividends, when the
insured pays his money he knows TO a
cent how much that payment viii Sc
cure TO his wife or children; aud when
his death does come, they suffer no dis
appointment by the presentation Of I'M
suspected notes, which are TO be deduc-
ted from the face Of the policy. Thus,
when, few weeks ago, the agent Of
this Company at Franklin, Pa, paid
81 600 10 the family Of laboring man
who had insured for that amount but
six weeks previous. the prompitude Of
the Company and the simplicity of the
transaction were 50 apparent that in
surance to the amount Of $4,000 was
immediately effected by the neighbors
of the deceased. Another case has
been reported, where $4,000 was paid
on the FIRST of April TO the family Of
Rev Lambert s. Fine, Of Troy, Pa,
who died on the 5th Of March, aud who
had insured for the above amount in
December last. The managers of the
National Life ate gentlemen of widely
known and bigbly-honored reputation
as fnaneiers, aud its list Of agencies
embraces business men Of integrity and
respect in their several localities Ey-
cry indication promises successful
and honorable career for the National
Life Insurance Company, aud we com
mend to the attention Of our reader the
card Of the local agency, wht;h will be
found elsewhere.

Is the Solar System in Danger.


The London Spectator has Il curious
speculation UPON THE Solar Mutabili-
ly,' the scientific basis of which is in
the following facts:
The sun has been shown to be subjec:
to variations in brightness and heat,
which entitled it to be called
a variable star. These changes
are periodical, and are pretty certainly
connected with "maguctic storms on
earth, which take place when the spots
on the surface of the sun are agitated. -
On September !, 1913, the most remark
able of these storms that has been OBJ
served took place, and all the telegraph
wires of both hemispheres were disturb
ed. In some places severe shocks were
felt by operators, and even flames ap-
pearei in the instruments at night
similar storm is expected in 1870, as
tronomcrs believing that it will recur
every eleven years.
The Spectator believes that mems

And we now know that these APP
pearances are not merely matters for the
curious, with which, as they happen at
"A distance Of above ninety millions
miles, practical men need not concern
themselves. In point Of fact, it Is 10y no
means Impossible that the issues OF
peace or war, of Il financial crisis or a

Capture Of q Monster Devil Fish
near the Mouth OF tho Mississippi
River, Mssa s

From the New Orleans picayune. July I5
On the l2th inst, while the United
state revenue cutter Wilderncr>s was
cruising in the vicinity OF Cat Island
Mississippi Sound, she fell ia with two
boats, containing party of officers
from the garrison at Ship Island, Mis>is-
slppl, having in tow an immense devil
fish. Assistance being asked in orGcr
to capture him, 1t was chccrfullv grant
ed, and after considerable labor the fish
was safely hauled up at the ships fish
tackle, and the vessel stcuming to the
island, his satanic piscatorial majesty
was soon on the beach.
On examination it was found to some
what resemble a stingarec, only instead
Of the head coming to apoint the space
between the eyes (thrrc feet forming
the mouth, was concuve, the mouth
itself measuring two feet in width; no
teeth were visible. The tail was the
same as stingarec, without the sting;
the color Was dark brown, nearly black
on the top, and white underneath:
measuring twelve feet from head to tail
fourteen feet in breadth and two feet in
thickness in the middle; its weight was
estimated ut from POO to / 500 pounds
The history of the capture is briefly as
follows:
A party Of officers fishing on the pier
discovered the the fish close to shoe e,
on the bottom, apparently asleep, Col.
Il. .. Bliss, the cnmmandant of the
post, an expert fisherman aud wha!er,
was Immediately summoned, and being
with lines attached, at once called for IA
boat, in hopes to capture the fish; pro-
ceeding cautiously, the tolonel's first
throw struck the monster, which at

of the first, but notwithstanding the

each, they We're picked up distance OF
three miles from the island the fish bc
ing about dead four hours time was
CONSUMED in the chase, and the parties
engaged were completely exhausted.
Several attempts have been made to
capture one oftnese fish, but few hav,
been successful, and but for the skill OF

this one would have been still uu-

at all Twenty has three tines the ad.
vantages of sweet sixteen. The reaso',
the doctor assigns for the rush Of mar
riagcs ut nineteen and twenty, is that
the girls at that time Of life begin to fear
the frosty approach Of old maidenhoods
aud therefore rush into the arms Of the
first opportune suitor that presents him
self. At fifteen and sixteen the littI0
misses feel themselves secure; they are
saucy, independent, wayward, coquet.
tish; and hence lose many fine opportn-
mites which do not present themselves
ut later age. The doctor is OF the Opin-
ion that il II young girl wishes to make
II matrimonial hit in life she must do Il
between the ages of fifteen aud seven-
teen. 1t is at this age that the fnM tide
sets in the affairs Of women.
