s- If there is one propensity more
belittling to humanity than another, it is
that Of a petty curiosity. What a narrow
space that soul circulates in which ac--
quaints itself with every detail of other
peoples lives. What time the neighbors
retire, when they rise who are their
guests and whom they visit, are questions
to which it devotes its mental powers, and
its colliqnial abilities (Which are 10y no
means linlited), with as much zsst as
though these were themes worthy of an
immortal soul Such people see every
thing, hear every thing, know everything
that is trivial and small and are them
selves ittleness personified.

American Insurance Co., Of
Chicago, Ill.
Chartered 1855.

We herewith present condensed state
ment of the business of the American III
surance Company, of Chicago, Illinois,
which will serve not only to illustrate the
feasibility Of the Installment plan of insur-
ancc, as applied to the risks taken by the
Company, but to show in some sense the
eminent success to which 1t may be carried.
For the six months ending March 10th,
of this year, the amount Of installmentS
received reached the sum of So, 1897 81,
while the first cash instalments amounted
to $l3.552 81. 1t will be remembered
that dwelling houses, farm property,
churches, and school houses are the only
class of property upon which the Ameri
can effects insurance.
Since January last the Company has
added $1,000 to its paid paid up capital,
which now amounts to $4,000, S!05,T69
of which is loaned on unencumbercd real
estate with double the amount of the loans
and the balance is invested in government
bonds, national bank stocks, and other
frst class securities. all other accnmula-
tons of the company amount to $4,000,
which added to the cash capital swells its
gross assets to the sum of $500, 900.
The American has recently complied
with the laws of Wisconsin, and secured
the services of G. P Whitford and Col. H.
g. Peffron, as State agents for the State of
Wisconsin, both practical Insurance men.
Reasoning from the business the compa-
ny has achieved in Illinois, we shall not
be surprised to, learn that the American
excels in its particular line, any other com
pany of the country in the volume of its
receipts. Upon the Instalment plan a
Policy is issued for 5 years, premiums are
paid in five equal annual payments. Upon
this plan the farmer has but a small
amount to pay each year; has the advan-
tage Of the proceeds of five crops to pay
for his insurance. He does not feel these
small annual payments whereas, to pay
at the time he insures, for five years, he
feels it burden. Everything is made
easy and convenient. You get time with
out interest; all risk of loss of money by
mail is assumed by the company.
M. 7. Gleason, Special Agent for La
Fayette and Iowa counties. will visit the
farmers of those counties and secure them
against loss by fire and lightning, in the
American.

The Hanging Gar dens of Babylon.

The great Babylon king Ncbuchadn"zzar
(died B. G. SGD, when he had completed
his conouests, as he found himself in pos
session of treasures uncountel. and captives
by tens Of thousand determined also to
siynalize his reigh by some ofthc triumphs
of peace. He built a new palace OF colos-
sal dimensions, and surrounded it with
triple wall, the outer one OF which was
some seven miles in circuit; he enclosed
the city Of Babylon with wall. which, He
roAotus says, was about throc hundred and
thirty five feet high, and made the Hang
ing Gardens. This last work was under
taken to crafty his wife, Amyitis, Me-
dian princess. Having passed her younger
days in mountainous region, she disikcd
the uniform lcvelof the country about
Babylon, anl pincd for the woods and hills
of Mclia. The lofty rocks and various
trees of this wonderful paradise were an
attempt to intim tic Median scenery These
gardens were high enough to overlook the
Ills Of the city, anl occupied square OF
four hundred feet on side.
It has been question how these gardens
were supported at this great height, as 1t
was until lately, taken for granted that the
Babylonians did not understand the prn-
ciplc of the arch But it is now known
that very perfect archcs were built ln Egypt,
in Assyria, and in Babylonia centuries be-
fore Nebuchacnczzar's time, and SO the
question is s;mplifcd.
The ancient Romans, when they had to
carry sto>e aquc luct across deep. ravine,
sometimes built three or four tiers OF
arches. one above another, till the required
level at which the water was to be carried
was reached. In the same manner, only
on larger scale, was this mound OF the
gardens raised. They built one story Of
arches, covering the require l space; on
this was placed second story; and thus
was story after stcry raised. A great mass
of earth covered the top, and water was
supplied from the Eupbratcs through
pipes. Not only flowers and shrubs grew
there, but tress Of the largest size; some Of
them so large that their trunks, according
to Quintus Curtius, were twelve feet in
diameter. The ascent to the gardens was
by steps, aud on the way up, among the
arches, were stately apartment, whose plea.
