IRISH

Mr.. WALTER, ehitor Of the London
7Gmss, now in this country, told a New
York newspaper mar the other daythat
ireland would never Je satisfied until
il was allowed its independence Of Eng
lard, ard this would never be DONE"
Why rot? 1t is admitted that four
fiiths Of the people of Ireland detest
English rue. Why should not the PEG.
pie OF u country have the liberty OF de.
termining the character OF their political
institutions? Mr. GLADSTONE recently
admitted this principle in his recogni-
ton OF the independence Of the people
OF the TranSva4l. Having conceded it
there Why deny it in Ireland?

uvruAt INSURANCE..

The local mutual insurance companies
in Western Maryland and P~snnsylva.
MIA have been doing such Q heavy bust
ness in swindling their healthy patrons
that the whole country has been aroused
over their infamies. 1t seems now that
the operations Of these scoundrels are
being tried further west and near our
own doors. A case, according to the
t.legsaph dispatches, has just come to
light at Steubenville, showing how the
nefarious system is being conducted.
An old and infirm negro named JORDAN,
who had been in dying condition for
more than a year, died recently, and
his widow, q. few days later, purchased
property worth s., 800, and paid for it
in cash. Investigation disclosedthe fact
that JoRDAN's life had been insured
for some $4,000, and the widow
receiving 10 per cent. OF the amount
and the remainder going into the
pockets OF the sharpers who effected the
insurance. The manner in which these
operations are effected is similar to that
adopted by graveyard schemers in
Western Maryland and Pennsylvania.
The companies are on the mutual bene-
fs plan, hundreds of stout, healthy per-
Sons being policy holders. The officers
of the company, who, Of course, are
swindlers, then communicate with men
in different cities, who take out policies
for large amounts on persons who are
afflicted with disease and sure to die at
an early date. When death occurs the
notice is sent in, the assessments COL
lected, and the officers and the men
who stand in with them divide It up,
giving the friends OF the deceased a
small amount for the privilege oil
efec,ing the insurance. By this means
the legitimate policy-holders are unmerc
fully syindled. This is the way the
JORDAN case was conducted. Several
citizens of Steubenville were interested
in it. Such a system is, OF course, a
bold faced steal, and the fact thatthe oper-
stionsof this class OF uuprincip!ed schem-
ers are being extended throughout the
West should arouse legitimate insurance
companies all Over the country to the
importance of taking the necessary steps
to stamp out the evil. 1t should be
dealt with promptly and effectively, as
its growth is not only a fraud on every
community where it gains a foothold,
but a serious injury e the business Of
legitimate insurance companies all over
the country.

THE MICHIGAN FIRE

One Of the most terrible scourges
which has beiailen snv section of this
country recently, is that which has
swept over the eastern counties OF Mich
iyan during the past week. The details
of the devastation have been read from
day To day with s~ickening horror. Hun
,lrcds OF I uman lives, how many no one
rsr tel, havr been sacrificed to the
flAmes-men, women and children alike
have Eeen roasted in the tiendish flames.
Whole settlements were surrounded by
fire, and houses, barns, orchards, fences,
everything, We're turned TO ashes. Dead
bodies and bleaching bones are found
everywhere; and women and children
naked and Starving are without food
and shelter. Thirty fge villages-rang
ing in population IRON 30 to l~,5O0-were
either totally or partly destroyed; and
nearly $50 persons are known to have
lost their lives.
The cry ior help has gone out, and
tie responses ought TO be prompt and
liberal.

an experiment was made with a num-
Der of horses in Paris IN l776. The fol-
lowing results were obtained: /, 1t was
proved beyond all doubt that a horse
can hold out twenty-five days without
any solid nourfshment, provided 1t is
supplied with sufficient and good drink
Ing water. Q. A horse can barely hold
out for five days without water. 3. If
y horse is we'll fed for ten days, but in
sufficiently provided with water during
the same period, it will not outlive the
eleventh. day. One horse, from which
water had been entirely withheld for
three days, drank on the fourth day
sixty litres Of water within three MIN
utes. 81 horse whioh received no solid
nourishment for twelve days was,
nevertheless, IN condition on the
twelfth day to draw a heavy load.

The Importance of pure water cannot
be oyer estimated. Every act of lite
consists In the oxidation OF the mater
ial of which our body1s composed; this
oxidized material must be dissolved, /,
hoated off, and thrown out Of the sys-

fresh unoHidized material must be
tloated into the body to replace what is
thrown out. Thus the agency OF this
process-the water we drink-should
be pure. The effete material In the
