While most men never get beyond the need for in

they take endowment policies for such periods as

essential objections: First-That in point of fact
they usually need the Insurance after the of the
policy has expired but have then become uninsurable
or can only get now insurance at much higher pre-

premiums for endowments so much higher than
for life policies that cannot usually afford by

surplus credited upon the policy may be left with the
company to accumulate at such rate of interest as
may be determined by the Directors to be paid with
the policy at Its maturity to the person entitled
thereto.
AT the end of each period of 10, 15, co. 25 80, 35

interest may surrender the for cash value, as
therein agreed together with the amount of the sur
plus previously credited and so accumulated.
Or pald-up insurance may then be taken for such
amount the cash value and surplus previously
credited will buy Il single premium
Should the policy lapse at any intervening year of
the above periods, and after three premiums have
been paid, paid.up insurance Will be given on sur
render of the policy according to Its terms for such
amount as the and surplus previously cred
ited less small surrender charge will buy as sim
gle premium.
Each policy will have attached n table
OF cash values growing out Of tlie reserve,
and the accumulation OF surplus Will bo
stated each year.
The accumulated surplus may be used in case Of
necessity to pay current premiums.
This gives the greatest amount of Insurance tho
premiums can buy while insurance is needed, and
also gives their entire effect as endowment II In
surance becomes unnecessary. The longer the policy
runs the greater lite value both insurance and
! an endowment, aud tIne higher reserve re-
quIred by the assumption of per cent
Interest makes the policy just so much the
more valuable as an endowment.
We believe It, intend 1t to be, the safest most
valuable, and most liberal contract ever written.

Houston, TEXAS, Jan. 7, 1881.
nv DEAR FLOY:
Yon are worry naughty girl not to have
sent me limo for 10! these months, and
don't deserve that l should ever notice
you again. However, shall exercise
the gentle Office of clomoncy and forbear-
ance towards the undeserving, and con-
descend to arouse you from your lethargy
by missile in the shape Of modest
missivo!
want to tell you about the holiday
season in Houston, which was very
charming and gay. You know tho old
proyerb says that those who work with =
ready heart and will, always enjoy play
time the most keenly. Those Houston
ians must be the most earnest workers
one could conceive Of then, if wo may
Judge by their illimitable capacity for
pleasure and recreation. I shall never
again darkly hint of tho volatility of the
New Orleanians, for have discovered
quito as much appreciation of the merely
superficial and frivolous in this queen
city of the Lone Star State, as ever beset
our dear OLD Crescent City, Even the
mail-carriers, servants and omploy6s
generally seemed to have caught the in-
fection, and suspended the accustomed
duties. Servants here have very good
time, and "give unto themselves the airs
Of the great" 80 that housekeeping must
really be reduced to science in order to
have well-ordercd homo. don't think
/ could ever be INDUCED to keep house
here, my dear Floy, because of the at
tendant evils and disadvantages. A lady
i from the North had q servant sent out to
her, and though she had been very valu-
able there, evil communications here
soon corrupted good manners, and she
sank to the level of Houston domestics.
shall not review the past SO far As to
give yop detailed account of Christmas
week, but shall confne myself strictly
to recital of the events of 1882, and
| will tell you Of New Years Day. As the
first of the year happened to be Sunday,
! the New Year reception was held Oh the
following day, Monday, and it was Sc

Tho Austrian Society Of Enginsers has
had its attention called to a new appli,
cation Of electricity IN tho form of an
underground railway for the transmits
sion Of mails. The locomotive and train
can be constructed of any convenient
email size, and will perform the same
service for any distance which the pnen-
matte tube will perform for short dis
tances. The locomotive will require no
accompanying attendant, as, the battery
or motive power not being on the looo-
motive, it can be guided and controlled
from stationary point.
Some experiments were lately made iu
Russian town With fre-extinguisll-
ing powder. Upon contact with the
flames, the powder produces heavy
fumes in such overwhelming quantities
as to completely stifle the fire. A few
boxes were thrown into q burning
naphtha and petroleum store, aud the
doors and shutters were securely closed.
In two hours the building was opened
and found to he filled with the dense
fumes from tho powder, but entirely free
from fire. The powder il expensive, but,
as is wisely remarked, not 20 expensive
as confagration. iii

Lubbock, "and in many cases the entire
