SOUND INSURANCE.

The Excellent Companies Represent
ed By tleksrk. Koll0 & NAghtcn.
When the ire Ut July, 1874, created stam-
pede among tho many pretentous insurance
agencies Of Chicago the firm Of Rollo & Eagh-
ten were not to be frightened or coa1ed away.
Chicago was good enough for them. and for the
sterling companies they represented Here they
stayed, doing business with their usual coolness
and discretion, and gising pezBons in quest OF
reliable insurance the best Of satisfaction.
OF the companies represented by this firm. it
seems hardly necessary to speak, other than
simply to give their names. The mere mention
Of them suggests all that is sound, conservative,
and wealthy in fre-insurance. The Royal Caoa-
dian Company OF Montreal js one OF
their organizations. 1ts $6,000,00 Of capi-
tai tells the srory Of its financial standing
better thsn whole columns Of general elaborn-
Western Assurance Of Toronto, Canada, with
assets Of 81 $50 900; and still another ig Girard,
Of Philadelphia, which has assets Of over
5000, ,O03.
In addition to the three grand organizations
in question, Nosara. Kollo & Naghten represent
the Peoples of Newark. n. j., tic Firenlan's Of
Dayton, O., the Old Dominion OF Richmond.
Va, and the Franklin OF Columbus, .. These
companies have combined assets OF more than
million and q quatter dollars. With the other
three notable concerns before mentioned. they
give Messre. Rol1o & Nnghten one Of the
most powerful combination OF insurance organ
izations ever in charge Of single firm in any
city.
This agency has always declined linking itself
with the Board Of Underwriters, believing 1t IS
to bs for the best interest Of their companies and
the general public that insurance firms should
maintain complete individuality. They hold that
by such course all chance OF monopoly ia pre-
vented, and the opportunity OF in1lict,ng OK
orbitant rates upon the public materially les-
Bened.
Aeasrs. Rollo & Naghten are admirably locat-
ed at the northE est corner OF LaSallo ADD
Washington streets. Persons desiring first
class insurance should call upon them.

Coughs.

The London Lancet says: Anodynes,
narcotics, cough mixtures and lozenges
are practically of no good, and but too
often increase the debility and hasten
the fatal end. The best method of cas-
ing cough is TO resist it with all the force
of will possibleuntilt the accumulation of
phlegm becomes greater; then there is
something to cough against, and 1t comes
~ very much easier, and with half the
coughing. A great deal of hacking and
hemming and coughing in invalids is
nervous, purely nervous, or from the
force of habit, as is shown by the
frequency when thinking about it and
the comparative rarity when the person
is so much engaged that there is no time
to think about it, and the attention is
compelled in another direction"
To these sensible remarks from high
authority every thoughtful observer will
be ready to grant a considerable degree
of credence. That coughing is in itself
injurious, and promotive OF Inflammation
and irritation, is universally admitted.
That it is largely under the control OF the
will no one can doubt who has observed
the phenomena of coughing in large
audiences. We have heard one cougher
start another, until the whole OF great
congregation seemed to be in the IRE
sistible grasp of asthma or consumption /;
and we have known the same congrega-
ton, at some particularly interesting
moment of lecture Or music or sermon or
spectacle, all intent to see and hear, and
preserving an unbroken stiffness. Evil

A Brave squirrel.

The recent ignominious defeat of a
ferocious young lioness by an humble
and ugly donkey in our Geological Garden
has curious parallel in the result Of a
deadly combat Wednesday evening be-
tween a large diamond TatLlesnake and a
little squirrel during the snake exhibit
ton over the Rhine, at 522 Vine street.
The snake was one of the largest OF its
species, six feet and a half in length,
and having been without food for months
was inclined to act on the offensive; the
squirrel was inexperienced in serpent
warfare but wonderfully plucky. On
the whole, we are inclined to consider
the poor little squirrel as having dis
tinguished himself even more than the
brave donkey, whose prowess has been
ably memorialized in marble by Gin
cinnati sculptor. The donkey barely
saved his life by desperate struggle
without inficting, much hurt upon his
terrible antagonist; the squirrel was left
alone TO contend with the most dreaded
and deadly enemy of human or animal
life, and actually slew his antagonist.
We erred in pronouncing the feathery-
still lives, and by careful treatment
might recover. But his hideous enemy
is dead ss56 sa ~
1t was NOT known that the snake had
expired until late hour Wednesday
night. When the squirrel had been
placed In the cage, the slimy-shining
monster Immediately sprang his rattle
and coiled to strike; while the squirrel,
having taken good look all round the
cage, and found escape to be impossible,
prepared himself for the worst, watching

have revised his figures in the light of

his glittering-eyed enemy with fierce
resolution The spectacle became high
ly interesting to the spectators, for the
deadly ophidian was contending with a
far higher form of life, finer organism,
more intelligent being than the help
less creatures which ordinarily supplied
him with food Snake and squirrel alike
poised themselves for the spring, the
tail of the former vibrating SO rapidly as
to become almost invisible, and emit
ting a sound like the buzz of brazen
clock. work; the tail of the latter
trembled slightly, very slightly, with the
tension of the squirrels muscles. STD.
denly q sickly CLEAN of livid white
shot across the cage, and struck
the squirrel below the neck,
once, twice, with the rapidity of an
electric fash. The spectators ceased to
laugh and whisper; the sight was too
horrible But the brave little squirrel
did not shrink or drop. He sprang for
ward to meet his terrible foe and caught
the writhing tail between his keen teeth.
There was cracking sound like the
crushing of chicken bones, hideously
shrill hiss, an agonized wriggle through
the long, speckled body, and the next in
slant the squirrel was wrapped in the
coils of the serpent, while the fragments
of the bony rattles fell on the floor of
the cage crushed into tiny slivers. But
the squirrel still showed no fear, al
though the many colored folds frightened
about him and the awful triangular head
approached with wide-open jaws and
needle-sharp fangs, and eyes in which
the yellow iris-circle seemed trans
formed to flame. There was another
sickly fash Of white as the livid
serpent-belly turned upward with
the effort of the last venomous
stroke. The fapgs never reached the
squirrel. He caught the speckled neck
between his keen teeth an inch below the
deadly head with its horrible eyes; and
the horrible eyes started out under the
pressure There was another cracking
sound, another series of CHASTITY convul-
sions, and the horrible fanged mouth
opened for the last time. The squirrel
shook the reptile between his strong
jaws until the clammy coils dropped
from about him; and then flung the
whole squirming mass from him. 1t
wreathed once or twice, halfcOiled and
lay still. II was dead.
The squirrel Immediately after became
very sick, and dropped into state of ap-
parent coma; thus giving the impression
that it was dead But 1t revived little
yesterday and may possibly recover.
Certainly every care should be taken OF
it, for a Drawer fight has never been made
by so helpless an animal against so dead
ly an enemy. The snake will be stuffed.

indirect cause of your K. G. B. ship. But
for them you would have been mere
nobody, grubbing in dingy city office
to this day.-Saturdag Reuieso.
