FALL SAvNe SOCIETY An association has
been organized under the above title, which
receives deposits in small sums of one dollar
or less from the deserving poor, during the
summer and ali, to be returned to them in coal
during the winter, at price below the whole
sale cost, the loss being made up from the soci-
ety's funds, and by donations from other char
liable institutions. The money, if the deposit
tors prefer it will be returned instead Of coal.
We notice among the list Of receivers, the
names of several phllanthropic gentlemen who
have Justly earned that title. We see no rea-
son Why this institution should not become
popular. unless the deposits are vested for
the benefit Of those controlling 1t, instead Of,
as is asserted, for the exclusive profit of de-
positors

The Trichina spiralis or Pork Worm.

Perhaps 1t is not generally known that the
much talked of trichina spiralis. or pork worm,
was first discovered in America by DR.. r. G.
Kendall, of Philadelphia, Pa, with the Ameri-
can instrument known as the Craig Microscope,
costing only $2,75, after repeated failures to
discover the worm with an imported microscope
costing $50, "of feebler power and less relia-
ble." This fact DR.. Kendall stands ready to
prove at any time. The Craig Microscope in
neat boxes, with full direction is mailed any
where for S2,75, by E. q. Ross, SlS Locust st.
st, Louis, Mo.

PLAsrERERs.-At an Informal meeting of the
union plasteres, held on Wednesday evening, it
was alleged that several plasterers, members of
the union, have been offering to hire at less
than union rates, which are So per day. For
this offence members are liable to fine for the
first and expulsion for the second preparation.
Those present expressed their opinions in q
manner that it would be difficult to misinter-
pref with reference to these backsliders
Those in bad report may yet find that the union
will not permit itself to be trifed with. The
union as usual is in healthy condition.

NATIONAL LIFE Insurance. CoAPANY OF Cal
cAGo-We take pleasure 10 calling attention
to the advertisement of the \ ,tiOnal Life lOsu
rance Company Of Chicago, a new organiZa-
ton with a capital Of e25O,0Oo, slOO,O 900 Of
which is deposited with the Treasurer Of this
State, in compliance with the Law for the secu-
rity Of the Policy holders
The working Of the National is based on
the Cooperative plan, and is similar in prin-
ciple to the Railroad Conductors the Telegraph
Operators, the Masonic, Odd Fellows, the Chi
csgo Board of Trade, the Ministers League, and
some other benefit societies, with this essential
difference, that the National Of Chicago, 10
real Insurance Company, takes nothing but
sound lives, and has a bona fide capital as above
stated.
Notwithstanding the misstatements aud mis-
representations of the organs Of the Eastern
Mutual and other highrate Companies it hat
steadily and rapidly progressed, and to-day
with less than two months existence, has in
sured over two million dollars, sum unequaled
by any Company il America for the same time
We congratulate our Western men on thiI
new phase Of Life Insurance, and prophecy fol
it the support not only Of our wealthy citizens
but also that Of the workingmAn, within whose
reach it has now placed provision for his fam
ily, without depriving him of present comforts,
and Of which, from the exorbitant rates, he ha
heretofore been deprived.

In TowN.-Mr. VIM A. Forman, President
of the International Union of the Coopcrs. was
In town during the week. The object of his
vi it was the making Of an address to the mea
of his craft 10 this city, which he delivered on
Monday evening last in presence Of large au-
diencs. Mr., Formsn considers that there are
at least one-ffth more men engaged at cooper
ing, than the trade demands, and observes that
the establishment Of the eight hour rule will be
an Offset to the evil. His remarks upon the
eight hour question were most excellent, but 60
much has already been said upon the subject,
that it is not at all surprising that he gave US
but little that is new. Indeed the eight-hour
question is thoroughly understood, both by
those who advocate and those who oppose it.
There has been practical application made of il
in numerous instances and only those who are
so insatiate as to want all that even labor can
produce, have demurred at it. Perhaps the
fact that men find it 90 difficult to maintain
living rate Of wages through the agency of the
union, is what has deferred or people from q
more earnest effort to secure the enactment and
enforcement Of eight hour laws in every State.
That is certainly our opinion, for it is 90 mani
fest that the working man is allotted too little
time in which to care for his intellectual
and physical self, that few if any can be
at heart opposed to tho principle. In proper
ton as to the march Of intelligence, SO will be
the advance of labor reform and except the
7aborer is permitted to devote 40 hour or two
each day to reading, it is not to be expected
that the sentiments We hold so dear can make
much Roadway against the hoggish host who
are waging war upon them Mr.. Forman in
bis address rehearsed IN an admirable manner,
the many advantages that must accrue from
the adoption Of he eight hour principle, con
6ning his attention more particularly to those
above alluded TO,
He also touched upon other matters Of inter
est to the craft, eliciting frequent applause, and
apparently affordng his auditors emInennt
grati6 cation. Mr. FormAn is Q pleasant speak
er, comparatively new to the labor cause, and
judging from this effort he will be valuable
attition to our working force. The coopers'
union is in Aourishing condition, in every re-
spect.

A Wonderful Microscope.

Rev. Daniel Wise, D. D., editor of the New
York Sunday School Advocate, thss speaks of
the celebrated Craig Micr oscope
Its simplicity, Gu aapness and great magnify
ing power struck me with surprise. Then was
examining fly's eye by its aid, and was struck
with wonder at the skill and power of the Creator
which is displayed in its structure. When
saw a statement in an advertisements that the
Craig Microscope msgni6ed one hundred diane
tets, and could be bought for $3.50, thought
il was one of the humbugs Of the hour, for
had paid 800 for microscope rot long before.
But now find it to be a really valuable instru-
ment which should like to see introduced into
the families Of our readers in place of the
manifold useless toYSwhich please for an nour
and is then destroyed. This microscope would
both amuse andI instruct them and | advise
every boy and girl who wishes to know the
wonders which lie in little things to save his
money until he has S275, which will pay for
the microscope and the postage when sent by
mail
AS holiday gift this microscope is unsur-
passed, being ornamental, instructive, amusing
and cheap, and never losses its interest. Agents
and dealers supplied on liberal terms A sample
will be mailed, post paid, TO any address for
