National Board of Fire Under-
writer's.

At the semi-snnusl meeting of the
National Board OF Fire Underwriters
the President discoursed with emphasis
on the reckless competition for business
which has been the bane OF fire insurance
all over the land. The agent between the
two fires has had much TO contend with.
On one side the customer urging re-
duction OF the premium on the renewal
policy, which, if not conceded, will turn
away business to others. On the other
side the company, continually pressing
for 'an increase of premium receipts, no
matter what liability is assumed.
The chairman also said the MutusI Com
panles have been increasing their busl.
ness largely to the detriment OF stock
corporations, and suggested the enact
ment o u law to stop what he termed un.
derground insurance.

An INDEPENDENT BRIDE.-One day
recently there arrived at the Sherman
House, Chicago, a neWl y married
couple. 1t was apparent at the first
sight that they were unused to city
ways, but the bride was SO radlcnt
with the fresh bloom that country life
and air alone can give that the groom
was envied by all the young men
who made that hotel their abiding
place. The morning aft / their arrl-
val the chambcrmaid visited the
the young couples room at the un-
conscjonably early hour of s O'Clock.
4 "comc-jn' answered her knock, and
on entering the room she found the
bed made up and the room in the
ncatcst kind Of order. The chamber
maid was a>tonishcd to find all her
work anticipated, aud proposed to
sweep the room while the young con
pie were in the dining-room. "Why,"
was her answer, 1--WE had breakfast
two hours ago" During the stay of
the couple the chambcrmaid had no
work to do in their room. The reve-
Iation TO the servant that a woman in
a hotel could do something for her
self was u strange one and was duly
reported. The young men took a
deeper interest in the little lady who
knew how and was afraid to "do up
her own room, and the example be-
coming contagious infected the other
ladies in the hotel, much to the salts
faction of the chambermaids.

The noble red man has been speak

Power OF lMAGINArI0N.-A remarka-

power of the mind over tie human
body, occurred short time ago in
Paris 1t is as curious as true, that a
poor old matchmaker, named Frcder-
lex Stiebmann, who lived in the Reu
des HaIIcs, had for a long time been
the prey Of singular dclnSion He
imagined that his soul had passed
from his body into certain watch
which he had constructed and which
embraced several hew inventions, up
on which he had been at work for full
~ twenty years, nearly all the time
"On the day that my watch stops"
Sticbmann was accustomed to say, 81
Shall die" My life has become sub,
ordinate to that of the watch. Nv
soul left my body and entered into its
mechanism long since" Some weeks
ago the watch began to run Irregular
y, at first it ran too fast and then too
slow The old man watched it care
fully an significantly. Il am very
i'll, he said, at last, and quietly took
10 his bed. Two days later the watch
stopped Suebman noticed the mo-

and fell back "a corpse.
