THE VERY BEST PLAN

By which you can obtain Life Insurance
is the Low Premium, All Cash, Stock plan.
1t furnishes the largest amount of insur-
ance for given sum of money. The CEN
tract is plain and definite, without compli-
cation, mystery, or uncertainty. The pol
icy is always worth its face, the premium
never increases. 1t is the most satisfactory
and economical plan for the insurant.
THE TRAVELLERS INSURANCE COMPANY,
of Hartford. Conn.,, grants Life Insurance
upon this excellent plan. Its security is
unqaestioned. Apply to any Agent, or
send for Circular. l5-4t

l want you perfectly to understand
that life here is in its rudest
form. Everything is of the utmost
simplicity, and all your surroundings
will be poor and mean until you get
a start, and then it rests with a man
himself to make things comfortable
and cosy. What the peopIe mere ina.

gy. They all commenced poor, and
now, though some ofthem are wealthy,
and most well-to-do, they are content
to live on in the same poor and rather
dirty way they were forced to start in,
Deer, bears and turkeys are pretty
plenty here. You can buy horses
from s25 to s35; Yoke of oxen, for
plowing $50; Cows (milch) sS to $40;
Stock cattle So; sheep 81; goats 70

Inducements to Immigrants" :"
For immigration from any quar-
ter, there never was such an opening
as in Texas. Two of those induce
ments are, the remarkable cheapness
of the best sort of lands, and the prev
alence of plenty all over the State.
1t is true that by neglect the wheat
crop was suffered to fail-the only
failure ever made in the State-but
corn is abundapt, and may be had in
many places for twenty-five cents,
cash, or, as the Standard says, "for
almost any thing the immigrant may
bring with him. Bacon sells, all
over Northern Texas, at twelve and
half cents a pound. In Clarksville,
the merchants sell it at that price.
Beef abounds at ten to twelve dollars
a head. Cows and calves may be
had by immigrants for almost moth
ing; lands are to be bought at a nomi-
nal price, and everywhere our land
owners will put the industrious immi-
grant in the way of getting a home of
his own, with plenty of stock, in a
few years-in fact, of laying the foun-
dation of fortune, without missing
the outlay. A sober, intelligent, in
dustrious man can come to Texas now,
and make his labor and management
more available than it would be any.
where else in the world. He can 90
on piece of land, cultivate it, get
all sorts of stock to growing up
around him, and own enough land |
and stock in two years to make him
Independent, having been helped to
food and implements, and every thing
necessary to start, by farmers who |
own all those things and whose great
est desire is to have them productive
ly used.

Here Clara opened her eyes to their
widest extent, and Sophy found it necessary
to apply her handkerchief to her mouth to
prevent laughing.
What do you mean, Gerald?"
"Why, that prefer fortune in wife
to fortune Nth wife. Is not that the
correct expression?"
And when you have both, it is still bet
ter. Now, confess that, you ridiculous
boy"
"Clara!" said Gerald, turning very red,
and then stopping short, as Sophy's laugh
rang through the room.
Don't look SO supremacy absurd" ex-
claimed the latter, as soon as she recovered
sufficient composure5ts4speak, or you'll be
the death of me, Gerald. I didn't say
Frank Richards was wrong, nor that Clara
had no money. If you will jump at conclu-
sions, you must expect to stick in the hedge
some times. It's too late now for heroics."
And 80 it was. The sweet face looking
so pleadingly into his was irresistible.
Rich or poor, he could not give up the
prize he had so recently won. Thus in
spite of himself, Gerald wooed and won an
heiress, and is now perfectly reconciled to
the fact; whilst Sophy as constantly prides
herself on the success with which her part
in the little drama was performed.

SIGNIFICANCE OF HAIR.-Hair parting
naturally in the middle, and falling over the
temple, as it generally does in women and
sometimes in men, indicates the female ele-
ment in a man symmetry and beauty Of
soul-genius of certain kind, which i'm
plies the feelings of the woman combined
with the thought of the man. 1t is very
common characteristic among poets and ar
fists, as seen in Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare,
Milton, Goethe, Dante, Raphael, Titan,
Handel, Mozart, Tasso, Chaucer, Keats,
Burns, Hoffman, Longfellow and others.
In pictures of Christ, and in other exalted,
highly refined and beautiful characters, this
peculiarly is always introduced by the ar
fist.
Sometimes the hair on rising from the
bulbs, turns in irregular rings on the fore
head, giving an open air to the pbysiogno-
my. This indicates good nature, as well as
exuberant vitality. Crinkled and wavy, and
close curling hair indicates vivaci-
ty and excitability, if not brilliancy.
Regular curls symbolic ideality, and,
when only part of the hair is worn in curls.
are instinctively disposed over the organ Of
that faculty.
CJfdiSHI Huii niay uC ooiu W inuiCdCc III
cultivated persons evenness ofcharacter and
a straightforward honesty of purpose, as well
as clear head and good natural talents.
The dark-haired races are physically the
strongest, but less endowed Intellectually
than the fair-haired. The first are more in
clned to manual labor and active exercise,
and the last to mental exertion. The dark
races are workers, the light races thinkers,
poets, artists, etc.
Black hair indicates strength, and pre-
dominance of the bilious temperament. as in
the Spaniard, the Malay, the Mexican, the
Indian, and the Negro.
Red hair is sign of ardor, passion, in
tensity of feeling, and purity Of character,
and goes with the sanguine temperament, as
in the Scotch, the Irish, the Swede, the
Dane, ETC., etc.
Auburn hair is found most frequently in
connection with the Emphatic temperament
and indicates delicacy and refinement of
taste, and, il the mind be cultivated, fine
moral and intellectual power. 1t is common
among the Germans, the Danes, and Anglo
Saxons.

LENGTH OF WHALES Mr.. .Scoresby, a
very high authority on this subject, declares
the common whale seldom exceeds seventy
feet in length, and is much more frequently
under sixty. Out of three hundred and
twenty-five whales, which he assisted per-
sonally in capturing, not one exceeded fifty
eight feet, and the largest of which he knew
the reported measurement to be authentic
came up to only sixty-seven feet. Two
specimens of the rorqual or razor-back whale
have been observed Of one hundred and five
feet in length. One of these was found
floating lifeless in Davis Straits, and the
skeleton of the other was seen by Clarke in
Columbia River, and must, tail and all, when
alive, have measured one hundred and twelve
feet. Other specimens, have measured
hundred, and many others from eighty to
ninety feet. One cast on shore at North
Berwick, Scotland, and preserved by DR..
Knox, was eighty three feet in length. These
instances seems to establish the average and
extreme length of these huge animals. But
with considerable credulity in earlier &C
counts Baron Cuvier, the eminent naturalist,
says stoutly, there is no doubt that whales
have been seen at certain epochs and in
certain seas upwards of three hundred feet
long, or one hundred yards in length.

The MAN WHO CAN NOT LOOK You IN
THE EYEs.-One of the popular falacies of
the day is that the man who can not look
you in the eyes when you are talking to him
is at heart coward, or, in truth, scoun-
drel, and the man who meets you with a
steady, straightforward glance, and watches
every look and gesture while you are talk
ing, is brave and open-hearted fellow.
This is one of the notions of romancsts
that has past into everyday philosophy as
fact. According to the novelist the thief
is the man who avoids your eye; the con-
sciously guilty man is one whose eyes can
not look man straight in the face; and
the man who intends to do you a wrong is
the one who becomes agitated whenever
you look straight at him. In fact, all this
is nonsense. The purest, bravest, kindest
man in the world may not be able to look
another man in the eye. In many cases it
is the over-sensitive man that avoids your
glance, and the brazen thief that looks at
you with steady glance. The handling of
the eyes in this particular is entirely ply
steal matter. A man may be good and
brave and more sensitive, may be, physical
" speaking, incapable of looking man in
the eve, and from inherited inclination dis
inclined to do so.-Locke's National Month
