Imnortant to Insurers,

Insurance placed in the companies
that have not complied with the laws of
the state where the property insured is
situated (either by the company direct
or through agents or brokers) cannot,
in case of loss, be sued for and recoY-
cred in any of the United States or state
courts, and the assured is left entirely
at the mercy of such companies, and
without legal remedy.
The statutes of all the states impose GER
tain conditions upon insurance COM
panies chartered by other states), to
enable them to obtain authority to tran
sact business, and make binding con-
tracts within the state; and without
having first complied with such laws,
and obtained the legal authority to do
business, all insurance written by them
is illegal and void. The following is
an abstract from recent opinion of the
attorney general of the state of Indiana
upon the subject: GAS the statute pro-
hibits any foreign insurance company,
directly or indirectly, to take risks or
transact any business of insurance in
the state, without first procuring legal
authority, this includes a prohibition
upon any person or corporation not du-
~ authorized from acting in any capaci-
ty as insurance agents, either by solic-
iting applications or collecting money
upon premiums. A policy issued by
an agent in violation of law, declar-
ing his act to be criminal, has been de-
cided by the supreme court to be void,
after a destruction by fire of property
insured Goth Indiana, p. 520), and in
a recent case not yet reported in Indi-
ana (Hoffman VS.. Banks, the general
doctrine is affirmed"
This opinion is clear and decisive, and
has since been confirmed by judicial
decisions in that state People VS.. Pless-
ner), and the principle again recognized
by the Kentucky court of appeals and
by Judge Davis, of the supreme court
OF the United States, presiding in the
United States circuit court in Indiana,
and is how held to be well-settled law.
Insurers may, therefore, well under
stand that in accepting policies in such
they are wholly without in
demnity against loss, except at the ca
price of the companies whose illegal
and void policies they hold.

Famous Trees.

Individual trees, planted by famous
men, are still to be seen by the pilgrims
who visit their homes and haunts. In
the last century, there was quite fash
ion for planting willows. It is said
that the first weeping willow seen in
England was sent to the poet Pope, as a
Lady Mary Worthy Montagu, and
planted by him in his garden at Twick-
enham. It is the famous iSalSr Ba6y-
LOnicG of the Psalter, npon which, on
the banks of the Euphrates, the weep
ing daughters of Jerusalem hung their
harps. Garrick planted two willows on
his lawn, beside his Shakespeare tenn
pie ; in the midst of thunder storm,
and devoted widow of the great actor
was seen running up and down, excl
tedly, crying out, "Oh, my Garrick
Oh, my Garrick - The willow, known
as DIR. Johnson's willow, at Litchfeld,
was blown down long ago it was said,
in the Gardeners Magazine, to have been
planted by him, but it is more probable
that his admiration and talk of it de-
veloped the legend of his planting it.
At the time of its destruction, it was
ID feet in girth. Pieces of household
furniture and snuff boxes were made of
it 1; and slips from it were planted, by
his admirers, throughout the neighbor-
ing country ; an offset of the old tree
was planted on the same site. Thomas
Moore tells US that, when Byron first
went to Newstead abbey, from Aber-
deem, at the age of 10. he planted a
young oak in some part of the grounds.
He had a notion Cor thought he hadl
that as it fourished so should he. Six
or seven years later, on revisiting the
spot, he found his oak choked up with
weeds, and almost dead.

Hindu Kindness to Animals.

A missionary correspondent writes
from India concerning Hindu Bergh-
ism: One of the strongest points in
Hindu theology is, that saving animal
life is highly meritorious. One would
think such an article of faith might, at
least, be harmless, and perhaps, would
incidentally do some good in securing
kind treatment to birds, butterflies,
and such innocent creatures. But I'M
happily for the theory that error is
sometimes harmless, the class of men
who make the most of saving animal life
have the reputation of being very I'M
charitable and exacting in their dealings
with their fellow-man. Though they
would not kill snake or a mad dog,
they will often pluck a poor debtor of
his last rupee, and then, perhaps, cast
him into jail, leaving his helpless fam
lily the alternative of begging or starva-
ton. The exclusive privilege of fishing
in small lake near here is sold for the
year to the highest bidder. One of
these wealthy men recently told me he
had just bought the right for year for
200 rupees. His object was to exclude
every one from fishing, and thus save
the lives of all the fish. This, he
thought, would secure him great reli-
gious merit. I suggested that many
poor people would thus be deprived of
their food and means of living. But
he replied, "Oh, they can get something
else to eat" And so this poor, ignor-
ant man was hoping to gain favor with
his heavenly father by depriving some
OF his children of the food he had pro-
vided for them.

TIE GRANGER no HIS LOVE

The moon is shining on the grange,
The winds ore hushed, the leaves are still !;
The patient stars look softls down
Upon my cot at Shannon Hill.
Then come, my horny-handed love,
And wander through the dell with me,
And gaze upon the Durham bull,
And listen to his pedigree.
Once was in the railroad ring,
But now by hands are hard with toll;
I've scattered hay-seed in my hair,
And BACKED my boots with harness oil.
My city cows have all run dry;
am no longer in my prime;
My dsyis drawing to a close,
And it will soon be milking time.
I think know a new mich COW
That's Just exactly what need;
She's thin from running out to grass,
But only wants change of feed;
I'll mix a mash Of free trade bran,
Swindle, high taxes, and back pay,
And coax her to the ballOt-box,
And feed her till election day.
With one to grasp her by the horns
And one to hold her by the TAIL
Oh, let me safely sit between
And calmly fill my milking pail;
And when NOvembeT's breeses show
It's time my Berkshire hogs to kill,
I'll move back into town again
And sigh no more for shannon Hill.

Saving the Waste of Coal Mines

Saving the Waste of Coal Mines.
MANY economists have mourned over
the waste of good fuel attendant upon
the mining of coal, and have puzzled
their heads for some means of saving
the 20 per cent. or so of material that
goes to dust in the mining process. NJ
merous inventions have been made for
utilizing this waste, but the one seem
ing TO promise the most satisfactory re-
suits is a machine now on exhibition at
the American institute at New York,
and the invention of Mr.. IIouiseau of
Mauch Chunk. This is the method of
manufacture Clay, which is used as
the binding material, is poured in
through one hopper, the coal dust
through another, the substance falling
into equally revolving partitions, on two
separate shafts, the partitions that takes
the coal-waste receiving and delivering
exactly nineteen times as much as those
that take the clay. AS the coal and
clay fall together they are sprinkled
with the milk of lime, which the ma
chinery delivers in due proportion. The
moistened mass is carried by a screw
propeller into the mixing machine. The
plastic product is forced thence, by
series of knives and a screw propeller,
arranged on a central shaft, giving a
pressure of several tons to the inch,
through an aperture, upon molding
rollers which receive it In ovoid cavi-
ties. From these the Jumps are deliv-
cred in shape and size like hens eggs,
and are then immersed in a solution of
rosin, which gives them a waterproof
covering. The cost of manufacture at
the mines is IS cents per ton.

The First Element of a Home.

I never saw a garment too fine for
man or maid there was never a chair
too good for a cobbler or cooper to sit
in; never house too fine to shelter the
human head. These elements about us,
the gorgeous sky, the imperial sun, are
not too good for the human race. Ele-
gance fits man. But do we not value
these tools of housekeeping little more
than they are worth, and sometimes
mortgage home for the mahogany we
would bring into it ? l had rather eat
nv dinner off the head of barrel, or
dress after the fashion of John the Bap-
fist in the wilderness, or sit on block
all nv life, than consume all myself
before I get home, and take so much
pains with the outside that the inside
was as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty
is a great thing, but beauty of garments,
house and furniture IS very tawdry
ornament compared with domestic love:
All the elegance in the world viii not
make a home, and ] would give more
for a spoonful of hearty love than for
whole ship-loads of furniture, and all
the upholesters of the world could
gather together.

tain the necessary heat and keep the
