ETGHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to ass Iring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the sans
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 suf6-
cient to create large SURPRISES, out Of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
81 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period Of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such exces
sive 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 =

GREAsTNG misunderstanding buggics
and wagons is more important than some
people imagine. Many wheel is ruined
ny oiHng too plentjfully. y well made
wheel will endure constant wear for ten
or twenty years, il care is taken to use
the right kind and proper amount Of oil.
If this matter is not attended to, the wheel
may bc used up in five or six years, or
may be sooner. Lard never should be
used on q wagon, for it will penetrate the
hub AMI work its way out round the
lemons of the spokes, and spoil the wheel.
Castor oil is good material for use on an
ron aXcl; just oil enough should be applied
to a spindle to give it light coating. This
is better than more, for the surplus put on
will work ont at the ends, and be forced by
the shoulders and nut into the hub around
the outside boxes. To oil an aXletrce, first
wipe the Spindles clean with a cloth wet
with turpedtine, If it won't wipe clean with
out it. Ga buggy or carriage wipe and
clean off the back and front ends the hubs,
and then apply very small quantity of
caster oil, or some especially prepared lu-
Lricator, near the shoulders and point.

1t is much the fashion Nowadays to con-
vey information, and moral truths and senti-
ments, in the form of stories, that even some
popular lecturers have adopted this style of adj
dress. The mass of people, especially the young,
demand stories to such degree, that papers
filled with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff have q wide circulation. To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses, the publishers of HEARTH AND

paper, have engaged corps of trst-class writers,
among whom are Jean lngeiow, Edward Egg
gleston, Mary i. Dodge, Louisa M. Alcott, Ed

ssDACK-LOG STUDIES"

In this unique series of papers, now appearing
in SCRIBNERS MONTHLY, Mr. Warner au-
thor of My Summer in Garden is doing his
best work Here we have--in pleasant fiction
of q talking group in front of an old-fashioned
country bac!l-log-philosoph suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits of de-
scription, social out-looks-and, enliyening all, q
fresh. crisp, yet juicy and delicious humor.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciatGd by the press. The New York Times
says that these sketches, 'for light, airy, but
genuine delmeations OF character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day" The Boston Transcript says that "tor
deEcacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
bumor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way The Nation thinks that
BACK-LOG STUDIES No. Ill ''renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
tormances that We have in him a humorist of
real merit" Writing of one of these papers,
the N. Y. Mail says it is the best thing he has
written and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many
a day." and the Boston Commercial Bulletin
says: t'BACK-LOG STUDIES constitute a de-
cided hit in magazine literature" Another of
these delightful papers will appear in the April
