GLUE WHICH WILL UNITE POLISHED
STEEL.-The following is a Turkish re-
ceipt, says the Stationer, for a cement
used 10 tasten diamonds and. other pre-
cious stones to metallic surfaces, and which
is said to be capable of strongly uniting
surfaces of polished steel, even when ex-
posed to moisture. 1t is as follows -
Dissolve five or six bits of gum mastic,
each the size of a large pea, in as much
spirit of wine as will suffice to render it
liquid. In another vessel dissolve in
brandy as much isinglass, previously
softened in water, as will make a two
ounce phial of strong glue, adding two
small bits of gum ammoniac, which must
be rubbed until dissolved. Then mix the
whole with heat. Keep in a phial closely
stopped. When it is to be used set the
phial in boiling water.

A New PERIL.-Times make sad ha-
VOC with our most cherished Illusions.
What institution have we in this country
more highly and universally respected
than the tomato =? asks the New YORK.
Times. His old name of love-apple shows
what a hold it has upon the popular
heart. Who can believe this meek, inno-
~cent-looking, healt-giving fruit is the
nurse of a reptile more venomous than
the rattlesnake? Yet such is the report.
DR.. Fuller, of Syracuse, the Carthage
Republican informs US, ''has in his office a
tomato worm, measuring five inches In
length, and weighing an ounce. 1t was
taken from Il tomato vine in his garden,
and is now securely incIosed in a glass
bottle. 1t eats and dlgests twenty times
it's w weight of tomatoes and tomato
leaves. 1t eats constantly, except resting
occasionally from one TO two minutes
This worm was first discovered this sea-
son, and is as poisonous as a ratlIesnake.
It poisons by throwing spitIIe, which 1t
can throw from one to two feet. This
spittle striking the skin, the parts com
mence at once to swell, and IN a few
hours deatn endS the aSohleS Vi Ihe pa
tient. Three cases of death in conse-
quence of this ~poison~have recently been
reported. The medical profession is much
excited over this new enemy to human
existence. 1t is advisable for persons
picking tomatoes to wear gloves. The
question arises whether or not a tomato
partly devoured by one Of these vermin,
and then afterwards eaten by a person,
may not have sufficient virus left upon it
to poison the one who cate it," Ii this
story cannot be contradicted ~emphatically
and at once, the amount of land devoted
to tie culture of tomatoes in this part of
the world will be suddenly and rapidly
reduced. We do not care to give hospi-
tality to visitors who eat twenty times
their own weights and whose saliva is a
deadly venom.

INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL ACT 1851.

No. 20, HIGH STREET, BRIDGETowN, BARBADOS
gYHIS Society, which confines its bust
AZ ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident In the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that OF
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate TO provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi-
cient 10 create large surpluses, out of
which Rever>ionary Bonuses, averaging
p per cent per annum upon the amour
assured have been distributed among Il e
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 30 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives Of persons residing in this part 70
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required TO assure 500,
for the whole term, upon a single life -
, 1869-11-05

Assurances of every description on sim
gle lives are granted by the Society for
anysum from 500 Dollarst to 10, 900 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, or Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assurers wishing to discontinue the
payment of their Premiums, may either
dispose of their Policies to the Society
upon equitable terms, or obtain a free
Policy for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re-
ceived by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position
of the Society are made quinquennialIy,
and the surplus then existing is allotted TO
the Members, after a sufficient sum has
been set aside for the purposes of the
Reserve Fund. The next investigation
and Division Of Profits, will take place at
the 31st December, 1870.
The Society has Agencies in nearly all
Of the British West India Islands.

revengeful. Luxury in eating and ex-
travagance In dress, are to-day as produc-
tlve OF woe as strong drink. Excess in
eating and folly in our apparel produces
far more than onc-half the diseases that
affilct the human family. They enervate
the body and enfeeble the mind. They
blunt all sense of justice. They ALLEVIATE
the heart from true affection. They sep
arate one portion of the race from sympa-

IN all classes and conditions to live beyond
their means, leaving to their children a
heritage of poverty, with gluttenous appe-
tites and extrava9ant habits, while their
honest debts go unpaid An enumeration
Of the evil effects of avarice would not

spools are indiscriminately thrown together

As a means OF bringing before the publ

sagacity and enterprise to furnish them

be glad to give the article referred to

to the general keeping and sale Of spoo

not be overestimated, as many large dr.
goods establishments that have hitherto d.
clined to keep cottons, on account of tn
inconvenience already referred to, will b
willing to Introduce them in their stocks
now that it can be done without the slight

customers.
