To the Editors Of the Clarion

The short articles in regard to the laws OF
this and other States on the business of in
surance, which you have been kind enough
to publish, are not intended to control or
influence the action OF our Legislature.
They are intended as much to elicit discus
sion as to impart information. If the writer
mistakes or blunders he is open to correc-
ton and conviction.
A synopsis of the laws of ell Of the States
on this important element of public and
private credit would require more space
than your columns would afford during the
term of your daily issue.
In some shape or other. almost every
State has deposit law. Some, like Missis-
sippi, require an absolute deposit, no mat
ter what the law of the State from which
the company applying for admission comes
others nave what they term reciprocal
statutes, which subject a company coming
from another State to the same require
ments that reversal of the situation would
demand. A company going from Missis-
sppi to another State would be required TO
make the same deposit that one coming
from that State would be required to make
in Mississippi, and like com pliance with
other statutes. A few of the States appear
to have no deposit law. The legislation of
the States north of Mason and Dixon's line
appears to be directed 10 the concentration

the latter to that extent, will not its reten :.

the material wealth of the State?

A SUPERB FAMILY BIBLE.

One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the book trade is TIE enor>
nous sales Of Bibles. The demand is
chiefly for large Illustrated Family
Bibles, for, strange as it may seem,
there are many families who do not
possess such Bible.
Prominent among the publishers
who have recognized this demand is
The National Publishing Company,
of Philadelphia, Chicago, st. Louis
and Dayton, to whose superb edition
of the Sacred Scriptures we desire to
call attention.
The binding of their magnificent
Bibles FIRST claims our attention. 1t
is rich, beaetifuI, and substantial. As
our readers well know, a Bible may
be. very showily bound, and yet put
together so fimsily that it will come
to pieces in a few years. Although
