A recsnt opinion of the Supreme Court of
 ing and important. The policy in litigation
 had been issued by the Mutual Life Insurance
 Company of New York. In the application
 which had been signed by the person to
 whom the policy WAS issued were these words:
 The applicant further declares that he is not now afflicted with any disease or disorder, and that he does not now, nor will he, practice any pernicious habit that obviously tends to the shortening of life.'' The policy contained condition that if any of the statements or declarations made in the application should be found in any respect untrue, the policy should be void. At the time of making the application and taking out tue policy, the in sured was man of good habits. Some years afterward he took to drinking, and was st. tackled with deliriun tremens, which caused his death. The company refused to pay the policy, and was sued. It was not alleged that the habits of the insured ware objectionable when he took out the policy. but it was claimed that he had bound himself, for the future well as the present, ''not to prac- tics any pernicious habit that obviously tends to the shortening of life, and tha. the violation Of this pledge several years after the policy WAS issued nuIlifsd the contract between the insur- CT and the insured. The lower court took this view of the law, and decided in favor of the company. This decision is now reversed by the Supreme Court, which orders judgment for the full amount of the policy, $1, 800, with interest to be entered in favor of the plain tiff. The court said that, ss the insured had not made any false representations of existing facts in his application for insurance, the con- trolling question was whether his declaration as to his future intention and his failure to carry out that intention were sufficient to work forfeiture of the policy. This quss- tion was answered in the negative. Tho court held that in no part of the application had the insured covenanted, promised, agreed, warranted not to practice any pernicious habit. Rs declared that he would not; but ths legal effect of declaration is very different from that Of covenant or agreement. Nor was there any clause In the policy providing that, if the in sured should do anything to shorten life, the policy should, ipso faoto, become void. Tho stipulation that the policy should be null if any Of the statements or declarations made in the application should bs found untrue, levi dsntly referred, said the court, ''to state of things existing at the tina tho policy was issued" But az to these matters there was no instrumentation

What s'M. c. S.'' Did in Nine Minutes The Condition and Prospects of


 ON THE CABS, April 22. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 To give you an idea of how much can be accomplished in just nine minutes by the watch, will tell you. When the horse ca1 stopped to- day at the West Philadelphia depot had that much time to do the following things: went to 'tscalpers" office, quite a distance away. and bought ticket to New York at a reduced rate, went to ticket office and obtained 8 new timetable (waiting my turn after four others), sent a telegraph dis patch to two parties in New York, stepped on the train with an errand boy at my heels, wrote dispatches to three parties in New Ha- ven and one to Washington, D. O., and fin ished all just as the train was getting under speed enough to let the boy jump off without breaking his neck. Then I was on my way to New York in hasta-
 It is now nearly o'clock D. m. and have appointments all the way from here to and in New Haven, which will keep me until late to- night, but having lots of time on my hands while am on the cars, will send you this, for in many stores in Philadslphia this morn ing heard of you, as they had just read the last letter of mine you published. One of the largest merchants on Chestnut street asked me why was about trying to sell goods after such an article as that, and explained that trade was already settling back into it's proper channels and we were never more busy; and it is true, for in Boston Tuesday, and yesterday in New York, I never took larger orders than did from the largest houses in those cities All we need is few weeks of seasonable weather and legitimate trade will go again with rush, for we are going to have Con the averags) splendid business for the next few months. Prominent merchants Say moveable goods will be out of the market in June, and those who ought to be the best posted say they shall govern themselves accordingly.
 I cannot see what will prevent good trade right along for the future, unless we begin to speculate again, which will not likely happen, as ''a burned child (generally) dreads the fire" The grain ''co1ner" has burst, the iron excitement is about over, the dry goods market is.'again firm, the warmer weather has begun to move goods from the hands of the retail dealers into cash, they are paying up by -installments their back bills and manufactur- CTS are again taking orders for limited quan- tity for future stock.
 It is strange beyond anything in tho history of any nation, how quickly we go from one extreme to the opposite, but that is the ''Yankee' of it, and no one seems ashamed that he belongs to the race. Ono thing is as certain Hs the sun rises. that from any point of view you look at it, there Is every possible prospect for a term of years of general, marked prosperity, barring the little 'set- back" which we have just had, and are now recovering from.

At rscsnt meeting of the San Francisco Academy of Sciences B. B. Bedding exhibited 9 aspecimen. of artificial fly used by the Indians
 of Kings River, in California, for trout fish ing. He said we had supposed that civilized people were the only ones familiar with this method of decoying the wary trout, but the Indians probably used 1t before 1t was invent ed among us. The hook is now made from
 pieces of old iron, but before the coming of the whites to this coast 1t was made from the tibia or shank of the deer. The fly, or more properly the caterpillar, fig obtained from the ''wart'' of the deer. This tswart" is the same as that of the horse, horny excrescence on the inside of the forelegs, just above tho knee.
 but different from that of the horse, which is bald, in having long, fine hairs, growing up wards instead of down. These hairs are at- tached to the hook, and as it floats upon the water they are caused to open and shut in such a manner as to strongly resemble the wriggles of caterpillar. Their manner of fronting is the same as ours. The string is made from

The Danger of ssJumping Rope."

ltrOm tne 1ndIhuapOI1s 6eutHol.J
 Dr. Peck, of the Surgical Institute, has just performed surgical operation on the leg of a young girl by the name of Jordan, from Hi nois, sent here for treatment. The bones of both her legs will have to be partly removed, and the little sufferer will have to submit to two painful operations. The cause of her afiiction is from dumping the rope," pas time engaged in generally by young girls, re- sulting in necrosis, or death of the bone. The doctor stated to reporter, in this connection, that similar cases were constantly occurring from this same cause, but more frequently re- sultins in necrosis of the spine, and that not a month passes but more or fewer cases of this character come to the Institute for treat ment. He says that rope jumping produces continuous concussions on the joints, which inpinge upon the bone, causing at the first stage periostesis, and finally resulting in the death of the bone He thinks that parents and teachers should be warned of this dangerous sport, eradicate it entirely from the play grounds of children, as it is ruinous in it's ef- fects, and is the prime cause of moro cripples among the female portion of the community than probably any one cause. He also added that during the practice of his profession deaths had been occurring, coming under his observation, which were the result of this per nicious pastime. In conclusion he said: "l would warn children against rope jumping, and would advise parents and teachers to pro- hibit 1t under all circumstances"

AFTER THE WEDDING.

The wedding of widow differs in some re- spects from that of girl. She cannot wear orange flowers or 8 simple veil or be married in white; but must select gray, violet, laven- der or some other color and wear bonnet with veil. She can have no bridesmaids nor are favors given, and, as a general rule, the wedding is quiet one and there IS no break fast. The wedding of a widower is in no re- spsct different from that of a bachelor, but if he have daughter 1t is not in good taste that she should be bridesmaid. After the departure of the bride and bridegroom the party at once breaks up, and in London 1t IS not customary to have any fsstivity in the evening" It is no longer usual to send cake or cards to friends at distance, and people dis cover for themselves when the young people return from their wedding tour, and call at their own convenience. When the bride re- appears in society she, the first time she ap- pears in any house, takes precedence of every one, no matter how high the rank. This con- tinues for three months, after which she is no longer considered bride. The custom is, however, beginning to fall into disuse, except ing in rural districts; the bridegroom does not obtain any precedence. The bride gene rally wears her wedding dress for her frstdin- ners and parties; the orange blossoms must be removed, as they are only permissible on the wedding day. Many brides, however, prefer to keep their wedding dress for their presen- tation at court, adding to it low bodice and train, and there is not the slightest necessity that they should wear white at their first par- ties unless they should wish it. Many prefer not to do so.
