Tie Bylaws of this Company, and the
regulations governing insurance have, re.
Gently been very materially changed. pla-
clng 1t upon basis equal to that of any
Fire Insurance Company in the State.
Important among these changes are the
following. viz:

All property is classified and the rate oi
premium is fixed according to the risk Of
the property.
Premium notes are taken, and all as
ses>nenis are made on the notes.
Property is insured for not more thar
two thirds of It's actual cash value. and the
full amount of insurance paid in case of loss,
provided the loss be equal to the amount of
in>urince.
Annual assessments" only are made, ex-
'ept in cases of heavy loss, and where
special assessment is necessary

Infanticide by Opium.

One of the best informed physicians
of England, DR. Mitchell, employed in
the public health service, some time
ago published mass of testimony OBJ
tanned by him from numerous medical
witnesses, showing the almost universal
resort to opium, in order to benumb and
stupefy children, even those OF the
tenderest age very common prepara-
ton for this purpose being so-called
cordial made of treacle and opium. So
general, it appears, is the use of this
mixture, that customers go to the
apothecaries, and, without any hesita-
ton, ask for dose of it s. to give to the
baby next day, as they are going out to
work. Chemists frankly admit that
they make and sell these opium decoc-
tions by the barrel and hogshead full.
This baleful usage prevails not only IN
the colliery districts, but also IN manu-
featuring and non-manufacturing places;
and 1t is stated by one physician that
in the Nottingham, Derby and 'Leices-
ter districts the habit of administering
opium to infants usually begins when
the child is three or four weeks old.
And still another witness asserts that
the opium cordial is given on the very
day of birth, being in readiness FOR that
event. The inevitable result OF this
terrible custom is, of course, that great
numbers of infants perish, either sud
denly from an overdose, or, as more
commonly happens, by slow, painful,
insidious disease. Compared. there
fore, with this form of infanticide, the
kind practiced by the Chinese may be
said to be merciful.

The western Railroad Alliance.

The full text of the celebrated COM
pact entered into at the meeting of rail-
road magnates at Saratoga last July
was published for the first time In New
York in the Graphic of October 20,
and this publication furnishes the first
opportunity to realize the full magni-
tude of this tremendous combination of
hitherto antagonistic railroad interests.
This combination is in brief q union by
which twenty-three large railroads form
ing complete chain of communication
between New York and Omaha bind
themselves to adhere to uniform rates
of tariff as fixed from time to time by
seven commissioners selected from
among the companies, and to indulge
in no competition among themselves.
The alliance thus formed is one of
the most stupendous in its magnitude
that has ever existed in this or any
other country. The number of roads
included is larger than that composing
the entire railway system of many Of
the States of Europe, and the miles of
railroad to be operated under its rules
would be enough to stretch across the
continent
To furnish some idea of the vast ag-
gregation of capital which the great
alliance represents the following table
is presented, showing the actual paid
up capital and outstanding bonds of
the roads uniting in the compact:

A Child strangled:by a Cat.

A strange occurrence took place a
few mornings since III the family of Mr..
Doloway, engineer in Babcock, Fuller
& Co.'S new hat factory, who occupies
J. W. Canfeld's house on Mulberry
street, in this village. Mrs. Doloway is
accustomed to leave her babe, little
girl four months old, on the bed up
stairs while she does her mornings
work in the basement, from where she
could easily hear the least noise. On
the morning in question she heard the
little one growing as usual, but finally
noticed that the sounds ceased, and
shortly after heard a strange gurgling
noise. Supposing that the child had
got its head under the bed-clothes and
was suffocating, she ran up stairs to see
about it, and found the house cat with
its nose in the child's mouth. The
child was strangled black, and was fight
ing feebly with her hands. She caught
the child and shook it several times,
when it caught it's breath and came out
all right. In few moments more it
would probably have been strangled to
death Mrs. Doloway had to pull the
cat off the child, so eager was it to re-
main. It had a paw on either side of
the child's head, and had its nose
pressed deeply into the childs mouth.
The cat was instantly killed Middle

The Hay Fever.

A correspondent of the Chicago later
Ocean writes as follows concerning the
hay fever: During the past week I
fell a victim to that unpleasant disease
called hay fever To my inquiries for
a remedy, I everywhere met with the
reply, There is no remedy you will
have to wait until the frost comes My
symptoms were constant irritation of
the nostrils, and discharges from them,
accompanied by sneezing and coughing
My eyes, too, wept, and my head ached
continually. I called in at drug store
and obtained a prescription which eff
fected a cure in a few hours. It was
simply two grains of quinine dissolved
in two ounces of water, shaken, and
then used as solution. It can be in
jected into the nostrils, or a small
quantity poured into the hollow of the
hand and snuffed up into the nose.
Any druggist can prepare the mixture.
I write this simply for the benefit of the
thousand individuals now sneezing
throughout the city. The disease
seems to be epidemic. Pestiferous ami
malcul@ inhabiting the nose are sup
posed to be the cause of the hay fever,
and these the quinine kills."

A Comedy Of Errors.

A foreigner is seated in his room por-
ing over French and English diction-
ary. He is swamped in the intricacies
of our language. He has rumpled his
hair so much that it stands on end with
perplexity. At last he gets an exercise
book and asks for advice from his land
lady, in broken English. The landlady,
In her vain attempts to make him under
stand, raises her voice to a high key,
thought occurs to her that he is not
deaf. Why do we raise our voices in
such cases !? After several months
practice our friend translates into En-
glish the following sentences
'sMy dog is cold. My hat is wet.
The dogs legs are weary. Beer is good.
The Judge is happy"

The little boy is full of cake. The

not see how "tailed" can be the past

brella? Let us walk by the mill and

again.
Our friend blundered at the break
fast table next morning. He turned to
young lady next to him, and casually
remarked, as if he were referring to the
weather, N Have you seen my aunt's s
umbrella ?''
The young lady looked surprised, and
said she had not. He followed this OBJ
servation with the remark, "The Judge
is happy" Everybody laughed and
looked at little fat man who was serv-
ing soup. It was Judge Dox.
Our foreigner was now so elated with
satisfaction at his mastery of the En-
glish language that he said +: Let us
walk by the mill and look at the damned
water" Again everybody laughed, and
the little fat Judge snorted so much
soup into the upper part of his head
that he had fit of coughing ten min.
utes long, and between his spasms Of
laughter he murmured something about
pun. Our friend, who was now the
center of attraction, repeated ali his ex
ercises, much to the delight and gooG
humor of everybody. York Com

Origin Of Typhoid Fever.

An English professor claims to have
discovered a new cause of typhoid
fever. A family in his neighborhood
was attacked with severe type OF the
disease, and, on careful search OF the
premises, spout in the pump was
found to be covered with a sort OF
gelatinous matter. Submitting this to
microscopic investigation, it was seen
to be fungo1d growth, from winch
spores were constantly washed away by
the flowing water. Following up TINS
discovery by a minute examination OF
the outlet of the sewer through when
the drainage of the town flowed, there
were found fungoid growths of a SINH
lar nature to those in the pump spout.
In the vicinity of this outlet the fever
had also prevailed. Having cases OF
the fever in his own family, the pro-
fessor followed up his inquiry by, q
chemical analysis of the water drank,
and found in it minute spores OF the
same fungus. His conclusion is, there
fore, that the fever had it's origin In the
fungus matter taken into the system.

DAYS MONTH LoNa.-Prof. Purser
believes that the moon, in revolyino
around the earth and drawing the tides
behind her, causes the latter to act as
a brake on the revolution of the globe :
and he considers that it may be mathe-
matically shown that this action is
slowly but surely checking the earth s
speed of rotation, SO that the days and
nights are gradually lengthening. In
thousand million years or so. they
may become each month long.

A Word About Marriage.

A physician writes the following
sensible advice: ''My profession has
thrown me among women of all classes,
and my experience teaches me that God
never gave man greater proof of his
love than to place woman here with
him. My advice is: Go-propose to
the most sensible girl you know. If
she says yes, tell her how much your
income is-from what source derived
and tell her you will divide the last
shilling with her and love her with all your
heart in the bargain. And then keep
your promise. My word for it, she will
live within your income, and to your
last hour you will regret that you did
not marry sooner. Gentlemen, don
worry about feminine extravaganza and
feminine untruth. just you be true to
her, love her sincerely, and tell her of
it frequently, and more fond, faithful,
foolish slave you will never meet any
where. You won't deserve her, I know,
but she would never see it. Now throw
aside pride and selfshness, and see
what will become of it. +"
