LIFE DEPARTMENT,
Royal Insurance Office, St. Croir Agency,
18Th October 1869.
To THE EDITOR OF ST. CRoIx AVIS.
Dear Sir.

From the "Pub!ic Opinion of the 28th
August last, [ beg leave to make the fol-
lowing Extracts for Insertion:
."ParticuIar attention is directed to a
new feature in the principle of life assur-
ance, which the Royal has lately intro
duced, and which Only needs publicity to
insure its general adoption. 1t is called
the "CompIete Life Policy" and combines
the two principles Of, first, the restriction
Of payment Of premium to ascertain fixed
number of years, say from five to twenty,
thus limiting the burden of this provision
to the working years Of a mans life and
secondly, the absolute guarantee Of security
against forfeiture, inasmuch as provision is
made to grant a paid up policy for a stipu-
lated amount whenever an assurer omits,
or is unable, to make his renewal payment"
The invaluable advantage of this eqdi-
table scheme are that the assurer can Sat
once calculate the maximum amount of
premium which can possibly become pay
able under his policy, however long he
may live; and he does not forfeit the
benefit of premiums already paid if he be-
comes unable from any cause to continue
his payments. BY its opportune adoption
the Royal will confer a boon On thousands
of human beings, and thereby add material
to the edifce whose breadth and elevation
is now Il wonder of the commercial world.
In carrying out this novel and truly bene-
fcent idea, the directors manifest alike
their enterprise and their sagasity.
Yours truly
e. MONEFELDT,
Agent.

Take a piece of common-siZo rope
six or eight feet long; make moose
in one end large enough to slip easily
into the colts mouth. Then take
the other end and pass it over his
neck down through the moose on the
under side of his mouth, and you are
ready to begin operations. Step
around to the side of the animal, a
few feet off, and command him to
move; at the same time give a sud-
den pull on the halter. Continue in
this manner, giving sudden pull
sideways (but never forward) every
time the colt refuses to move, and
gently pat him on the head when he
obeys. BY this method any colt can
generally be broken to lead in a
couple Of hours; after this any kind
of halter may be used. A colt brok-
en- in this manner will not learn the
trick of pulling at the halter, as
many do whea the method Of pull
ling forward on the halter and beat
ing to make them lead, is resorted
to, as is often done. If any can give
a better method than the above, let
us hear from them through the Vest

EDITORS HAWKEYE:-ln passing

crops, and injury Of the soil, / here
say a few words about catching them.
First, the trap. Use a small trap,
and have it to go off very easy, as
they go off too hard for gopher-trap-
ping when first purchased. Second.
When you see their work fresh, take
a small stick, as cane or whip-stock,
push it down around the hillock un-
til you strike his road. When you
have struck his track, dig down UNI
til you come to it; dig SO as to place
the spring or handle out from their
road; then place the trap, when set,
with the trigger level with, and In
the center of their pathway; careful
Iy cover the trap over with the dirt
which they have thrown out; cover
the trigger lightly, that they may
not see any mischief in their way;
place small board over the trap so
that it will not interfere with the
springing; cover the board over with
dirt that no light may be seen and
you will be sure to catch him. No
one win fail il he will try.

Cure for EeiOns.

AS there is much needless suffering
from felons, we deem it duty to
give remedy which we know to be
perfectly reliable:-Take portion Of
the bark of sweet elder, or hops will
do; put it with some sweet cream in
to a cup, and boil a short time; then
put in lump of saltpetre twice as
large as a pea; let it slowly dry away
to the consistency of a salve, which
apply to the felon. The saltpetre is
the cure, but the elder bark and
sweet cream aid in easing the pain.
AS felons sometimes make it neces-
sary to amputate finger or hand (if
left alone), they should be attended
to at once. BY putting in enough
saltpetre, any felon may be cured in
4s hours, and the pain will cease al
most neutrality-suspicious..

Thc Teeth Of q Horse.

At FIVE years of age a horse has
forty teeth-twenty molars or jaw
teeth, twelve incisors; but usually
wanting in the mare.
At birth only two nippers or mid
die incisors appear.
At a year old the incisors are all
visible on the first or milk set.
Before three years the permanent
nippers have come through.
AT four years old the permanent
dividers, next to the nippers, are cut.
At five, the mouth is perfect, the
second set Of teeth having now been
thoroughly completed.
At six, the hollow under the nip
pers, called the mark, has entirely
disappeared from the nippers, and is
diminished in the dividers.
At seven, the mark has disappear
ed from the dividers, and the next
teeth, or corners, are level, though
showing the mark very plainly.
At eight, the mark has gone from
the corners, and the horse is said tc
be aged.
After this time, indeed good au
thorities say that after five years, tht
age of the horse can only be conjec
tured. But the teeth gradually
change their form, incisors becoming
round, oval and triangular. Dealer.
sometimes bishop the teeth of ole
horses, that is, scoop them out to i'm
itate the mark; but this can b.
known by the absence of the white
edge of the enamel which Away,
surrounds the real mark, by thu
shape Of the teeth, and other marks
Of age about the animal.-RMa

To Make New Rope PIiab!e

Many of our readers have expert
enced great difficulty in handling
new ropes. Every farmer knows
how unmanageable new, stiff rope
halter is; and his patience is severely
tried when he tries to tie up his cat
tie with it, as the rope will coil itself
into every shape but the one desired.
Often he finds his horses and cattle
rampaging about the barn, having
the knots Of the new halters.
BY simply boiling the rope in water
for two hours, all this trouble can be
avoided, and the rope made as soft
and pliable as If used for months.
Its strength is not diminished, but
its stiffness Is gone. 1t must hang in
warm room until thoroughly dried,
and not allowed to kink. This easy
remedy will secure horses and cattle
from many kicks and blows, and
prevent much profanity.--Er.

1t is said that Horace Greeley in
tends to petition Congress to pass the
following law affecting tobacco con-
sumers, this winter:
Tobacco chewers are requested to
get their tobacco from first hands,
which is the first man you meet who
will give-you chew.
Where parties are in the habit of
borrowing chews, the Government
will furnish each man with a note
book, in which the time of day, the
size Of the quid, whether plug or fine
cut, the quality and the time when
the amount is to be refunded, must
be strictly recorded.
Those parties who have been in
nocently using unstamped tobacco
will call on the nearest revenue Off
Ger, and give in, as near as possible,
the amount which they believe has
been consumed. The officer will
furnish the necessary stamps, and If
they are chewed up in his presence
the Government is then satisfied that
no criminal wrong was meant.
Those persons who maliciously
carry two boxes, one filed with base
smoking tobacco to give to borrowers,
the other containing superb fine-cut
for home consumption, are to be
treated as deserving of death, and
hung on the spot.
When a quid has been exhausted,
the Government strictly forbids it
being thrown away until two red
chalk marks have been made across
it, and a label attached bearing these
words: "The fellow who chewed
this guild has complied with all the
requirements of the law, and persons
are hereby warned not to chew this
quid again."
The Government has witnessed,
with supreme sorrow, many young
men, and old men also, when they
have observed an acquaintance smok-
ing a cigar, come right out boldly
and ask, "Have you got the mate to
that" Hereafter, in all such cases,
the person asked will exhibit the
following label, which the Govern
ment will furnish on demand, "Ask
me for ten cents. '-Lr.
