A DUTY PARENTS OwE.-The poorest
girls in the world are those who have
never been taught to work. There are
thousands of them. Rich parents have
petted them they have been taught to
despise labor and depend upon others
for living, and are perfectly helpless.
The most forlorn woman belongs to this
class. 1t belongs to parents to protect
their daughters from this deplorable
condition. They do them a\great wrong
if they neglect it. Every daughter
should be taught to earn her own living.
The rich as we'll as the poor require
this training. The wheel of fortune
rolls swiftly around-the rich are likely
to become poor, and the poor rich. Skill
to labor is no disadvantage to the rich,
and indispensable to the poor. Well
tO-do parents must educate their daugh-
tiers to work ; no reform is more imper-
alive than this.

n 1t is related of Two Bears, the
Indian who visited Baltimore prison the
other day, that he said to the warden
through an interpreter, 81 suppose you
have people in here for all kinds OF
crimes ~ "Oh, yes," answered the
warden, ''from small larcenies up to
murder" 'You have no people here
for robbing aud swindling Indians, have
you I" asked Two Bears, getting inter-
ested. "No,n answered the warden.

with a good deal of pertinency.

POISONOUS HoNEY.-An accident which
a short time since befell the war cor
respondent of the London News i'll Ar
menia recalls the fact, long known, but
generally forgotten, that honey some
times possesses virulently poisonous
properties. In this case the cOrrespOn
dent having drunk some water sweeten-
ed with honey was shortly afterward
seized with headache, vomiting, cold
ness of the extremities, temporary blind
ness, followed by cataleptic state that
appeared to bring him to the verge of
death. Suspicion of an attempt to pOis-
ON fell upon an innkeeper and he was
arrested, but an examination of bis
honey, which was from the Batoum val
ley, where hemlock and henbane grow
abundantly, revealed the source of the
injury. 1t is interesting to note that
this incident occurred within a few
miles of the same spot where more than
1000 years ago similar accident, but
on a larger scale, happened to the "Ten
Thousand" during their celebrated re-
treat. XenOphon says that two marches
from TrebizOnd the Greeks encamped
in some villages that had been abandon
ed, where there were great number of
beehives. All of the soldiers who ate
of the honey suffered from delirium,
vomiting, purging and inability to
stand. Those who ate but little ap-
peared intoxicated, whilst of those who
ate more some were raving and others
seemed to be dying. The soldiers lay
on the ground as after defeat, and a
similar CONSERVATION reigned. None
-. al, nlse
ing off next day, though three or four
days afterwaTd the sufferers had the ap-
pearance of sick people who had used
violent remedy. Dioscorides, Pliny
and other authors also mention poison
Gus honey. Pliny attributes the poison
GUS properties of one honey from this
district to the bees frequenting plant
fatal to the beasts of burden and to
goats in particular, which he calls Aego
lethrOn or goats's-death, plant that
according to the Pharmaceutical Jour-
naD has been identified with Azalea
pOntica.

Making,


Said per cent is to be cast upon the original
amount of the premium notes. without reference to
any payments, and to be paid to the Treasurer of
said Company, at his Office in Montpelier, on or be-
fore the 14th day of November, 1877.
For more than twenty-five years after the organ
izatiOn of the company, fifteen per cent of the pre-
MUM notes. paid in advance, was sufficient to pay
all the losses and expenses of the company duriug
that period, and leave cash surplus large enough
to carry out all the policies then in force provided
that the future losses were no larger proportion
ately than in the past But the late excessive loss
have exhausted the fifteen per cent. paid on each
members note in advance, leaving members whose
policies running out liable to an assessment of
five per cent, agreeably to the provisions of the
fifth section of the Act of Incorporation, found on
each members policy. The fifteen per cent. paid
in advance on the premium notes is now paying for
three years and nine months, leaving one year and
three months to be met by assessment.
The Directors have laid this assessment on a
strictly mutual principle, collecting nothing on
this assessment until the advance pay is exhaust
ed.
Since the LIST of November 1876, each member
insured has paid twenty per cent on his note, and
unless the losses are even heavier than they have
been (which hardly seems probable), the amount
will pay all losses and expenses for five years By
order of the Directors
