I1IE PIEDMOET AND ARLINGTON
Judge Hughes, at Richmond, Va, on
Friday. in the United States Circuit
Court, delivered an opinion on the in
solvent Piedmont and Arlington Life
Insurance Company of that city, in the
matter OF appointing receiver, rs
prayed Tor by number of policy
holders. Upon the question whether
or not the court would allow the COM
pany to appoint it's own receiver,
Judge Hughes said: 81 think that the
mere fact of the failure of life insur-
ahcc company Is 2o1tma .fucie proof
that its operations have BEEN, conduct
ed i'll fraudulent manner, and if the
failure is not explained by some great
casualty, such as Il widespread pesti-
lcnce or sudden financial convuision,
or physical calamity, think it is per Sc
proof OF fraud. Twill not pretend to
say that 1t creates the presumption of
moral turpitudc in the managers of a
structlvc fraud-that is to say, of that
financial imbccility or recklessness. o.
extravagancc, or that gross negligence
which is equivalent in its conseuHcDco
to fraud, and which a court is bound
to regard as constructive fraud" The
Judge then announced tho appoint
mcnt Of a. l.. Bouiwarc, Of Richmond,
rs receiver of the company.

How TO TREAT A uORSE.-A horse
cannot be screamed at and cursed
without becoming less valuable in
every particular. TO reach the highest
degree ofvalue the animal should be
perfectly gentle and always reliable,
out II 1t expects every moment that it
is III the harness to be siawed' at and
struck, it will be in constant state of
nervousness, and in its excitement as
liable, through fear, to do something
which is not expected, as to go along
doing what you started it to do. 1t is
possible to train horse to be govern
Ell by tho word Of mouth almost as
completely as it is to train child, and
and in such training the horse reaches
its highest value. When horse is
soothcd by the gentle words Of his
driver-and we ehave. seen him calmed
down from great excitement by no
other means-itt may be fairly con-
ciudcd that he is,,a valuable animal for
all practical PURPOSES, and it may bo
certainly concluded that the man who
has such power oyer him is = humane
man and aisensibfc one. But all this
simply means that the man must Sc
curc the animals confidence. Only in
exceptional instances is horse stub
born or vicious. If he understands his
surroundings and what is required of
him, he gives no trouble.

RALGIA.-Scvcral evenings since was
attacked with severe dental neural

and hot applications, etc., without OBJ
tanning any relief, lay upon my bed,
trusting that sleep might come and
give me respite. Still the excruciat-
ing pain continued, and while I was
suffering the "tortures of the doubly
damned" undecided whether to
arouse some tired druggist for bottle

with decided preference, however,
for the chloroform,) l suddenly be-

and then forcibly blew ont all the air
that could. Immediately the pain
