One Of the most popular medicines now
before the American public, is Hop Bitters.
You see it everywhere. People take it with
good effect. Ii builds them up. 1t Is not
as pleasant to the taste as some other Bitters
as It Is not whisky drink. 1t is more like
the old fashioned bone set tea that has done
a world of good. II you don't feel just

Sure of thy finest triumph-thou canst wait
The crown thy patience wrought.
To serve thy generation, this thy fate,

But ho who loves his kind does first, and late,
A work too great for fame.

New Haven Corset and Sewing Machine
 Company's Emporium--A New Depar-
 ture.
 The emporium of the New Haven Corset and Sewing Machine company at No. 194 Chapel street in Gov. English's new building, Messrs. c. I. Strouse and P. E. Austin man. agers, have opened their very handsome es- tablishment, which is a credit to Chapel street, the store being deep and extensive and very stylishly fitted up and furnished and carpeted. Bright and pleasing colors and equipments everywhere greet the eye. The companywi devote their energies to the sale of corsets and sewing machines. They carry a very large stock of i'm ported and do- mestic corsets, all grades, and show fine specimens arrayed on elegant busts in many parts of the store for the admiration of the fair sex, admirable specimens of the high perfection of this branch of manufacturing which has in ten or fifteen years become so important a feature in New Haven. In a very conspicuously elegant show case samples are shown. This is a new departure in the corset trade in New Haven, and evidences much enterprise. A handsome waiting room is being finished in the rear, where ladies can rest while shopping and have their measure taken and corsets fitted. Steam power runs two lines of sewing machines in the extreme rear, for fancy embroidery and corset work. This is something new in New Haven. Mr. F. E. Austin is in charge of the sewing machine department, and all kinds of the best machines are sold, including the Household, which MT. Austin finds superior to all others, and is ready to show to all. Mrs. Leech is in the corset department, Miss Siebke occupies the invoice and bookkeeping desk, Miss Wilson takes care of the French embroidery department, Miss Rogers is in the sewing machine department and Miss Schnell in the hand embroidery department also other ladies assist.

The Connecticut Mutual Life.
The Business of 1880 and What There

The Business of 1880 and What There is to Show for It.
 From the Hartford Courant.l The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance com panys thirty-fifth annual statement is pub ished in full elsewhere. More than whole
 generation of people (thirty-three .years) have died since the company began insuring against death, and yet it rolls up more assets to-day than ever before, and, during the past year, has increased their volume by oyer $7Oo,o0O, or $2,Ooo day. Its net surplus
 is $3, ,351, 1,55.45 by the close egurlng or Con-
 necticut Requirements and S6, 900, 900 by the
 more liberal Ne-< orK law. mere are 64, :
 313 neo,sl- insured in this company If, as
 ;s -.sfcu1ated, each on the average represents
 family of i've then there are over 32O. GOO
 people dependent on the company, which is
 equal to more than half the entire population
 of Connecticut.
 Two especial points are entitled to notice
 in the statement. The first is that under the
 careful management of Colonel J. B. Greene,
 the president and Mir. J. L. Taylor, the sec retary, the ratio of expense of management to receipts has been, as heretofore, kept down to very low figure, much lower than the average ratio among insurance companies.
 This tells the story of economy in full. The other point is concerning the company's s real estate taken under foreclosure Under the profit and loss for the year is the item of $69, GA. This represents the net profit on sales of the company's real estate during the period covered by the report and it only marks the beginning of that record Trans actions made within the year, but not closed uRtil after the date of the report, include further sales of real estate for ever $6OO, ,OOO, which would add considerably to the profit Practically none of the company's real estate has been sold below cost. Much of 1t goes at profit, and no effort has been made to push the sale at all. Such sales as are made are on offers that come to the company, for the pol icy all along has been to carry the load until weak holders of competing properties had recovered, which it was bound to do as soon as cleared of parties who were too weak to survive
 The result proves the wisdom of the theory. Real estate is in brisk demand now at the West. For example, the Connecticut Mutual took under foreclosure one piece of property for $3O9, ,OO0. The expert apprais- CTS year ago. acting for the insurance com appraised it at $157, ,OOO. During | the past year it has been sold for $325, ,OOO, | an increase over expert valuation of $168,- l poo. Another piece cost $19, ,oOO, was val | led at $15, GOO, sold for 1925, ,OOO. Still l another cost $63, 900, was valued at $63, ,OOO, | md brought $82, 900.
 With money so hard to invest at present, | he company is not now hurrying sales at all, Tor is any attempt made to improve it's state nent by marking up it's real estate owned. t all stands at cost, although the real estate ales of the year, good, bad and indifferent verage profit of over 13 per cent. on the

Fire in Farminrfon.

Soon after sunrise yesterday morning fire broke out in a house owned and occupied by John Robinson, on the north side of the Pennington road, mile or more beyond the Hartford water works, and perhaps two miles from Pennington street. The house was destroyed, but most of its contents were saved. An insurance policy of the Farming ton Mutual on the house expired. curiously enough, yesterday at noon. Mir.

 the microscope amoebra is a good example.
 This simple drop of jelly, resembling the
 white corpuseles of human blood, is true
 animal in spite of it's size, for if watched un-
 der the microscope sufficiently long it is seen
 to contract it's substance into different shapes
 and forms, rolling along like an irregularly
 shaped and microscopic ball of jelly, until
 coming in contact with some particles of
 food it's motion is stopped; but only for 8
 time, for.this living drop of matter, with all
 the eagerness of hungfy man, wraps itself about the foreign matter, and in the cavern
 ous stomach thus formed digests and absorbs such particles as are suitable, and then rolls away from the undigested residue. Thus this simple animal, endowed with many of the properties of higher beings, lives, moves, eats, grows, and finally dies having been nothing more than small, even microscopic particle of protoplasm.
 Still higher in the animal scale the outer nism, appears to have undergone change, to have acquired consistence greater than that of the matter in the interior, and thus the protoplasm becomes enclosed in a cell wall; while in the still higher grades of ami mal life differentiation of the cellular ele- ments takes place so as to produce two or gans. Thus digestive cavity, a circulating organ, respiratory apparatus, muscles and organs of sense make their appearance-an formed from the differentiation and develop ment of single protoplasmic cell So from the very beginning there appears to be an power in the life substance, in the protoplasm of the original cell, which causes it to increase in size and shape, determining out of it's own clements the evolutions of tissue and organs, and which constantly re- generates itself, so to speak, from the food presented to it. Truly this is property pe- ouliar enough in itself to merit the name of | the mystery of life"
 In tracing the development of man him. Self, we know that he originates from sim 1 gle protoplasmie cell, the ovum, which repre- | resents, in this first phase of existence, an | 1nicellular animal. This cell, under the in- luence of causes not yet determined, divides md multipies into many cells forming a nulticeIlular group which gives origin to all he organs of the body. Thus, in the words If Foster, higher animals may be regarded 's groups of amoebn peculiarly associated
