PARIS. Last Friday David Woodbury.
brought 10 the village several bouquets OF
the famous gladiolus blossoms, one OF
which he offered up at the editorial shrine.
We spoke of these flowers, at some length,
in our report OF the County Fair; but the
blossoms now brought forward, az this
late season, seem even more perfect anu
beautiful than those then exhibited. Mr..
Woodbury. has succeeded in producing a
double blossom on this plant, and there
was specimen of that rarity in the bou-
quet he left with us. All his bulbs were
originated by himself, and we doubt IL u
finer collection can re found in the State.
He has 1000 bulbs now growing.
S. L. Hawkes. has on exhibition aud for
sale new design of lantern. 1t is not
only handy about lighting, but 1t has a
wire attachment for fastening it to the
dasher Of wagon while driving on dark
nights.

it can be readily cleaned, and it sells at

OF one of these machines.

From il We Gu, the following
The mendacious chatter Of the co-Ope-
ratiyes about the insecurity OF Insurance
ia regular companies, has brought out the
fact that from the beginning OF life insur-
ance in this country. the total loss 10 pol
lev holders has not been over one per cent.
against nearly twelve hundred millions
paid iu premiums. No other business on
earth has been so safely managed. With
assessment companies. the percentage
would be lust about reyerSed-oue receiv-
cd and niuety-uiue lost Theory shows
that these concerns must fail; facts show
that they always ID fail.
Insurance men are very careful Of their
statis.icS-they have to be, for rival
company always stands ready to pick up
any errors. So we believe this estimate
OF losses by insurers IN regular cOmpan-
les Is correct. Few branches Of business
could make so good a showing; and the
failure Of several large life insurance
companies. a few years ago. proves no.
thing against the security of life insur-
ance. We believe that it is the duty of
every young man who has others depend
en-; upon him, 10 keep his life well in
sured, until he has accumulated enough
10 provide for them in case Of his sudden
taking of. Good policies will pay
fair rate Of interest on the investment,as
well as provide fund for the family at
his decease. Endowment policies are
good investments, but it takes more cash
20 keep them in force than is called for
by the regular life policies.

There is fish in the sea whichis very
numerous, rs much so as the cod or
herring, yet which is rarely or never
seen. If it could be got it would be a
me food fish. and add greatly to the
market supplies on the Eastern coast
IL Is known rs the tile fish, and il
abounds along the western edge of the
Gulf stream. in seventy-five fathom
water, OF temperature between forty
and fifty degrees. Attention has re-
Gently been attracted TO this fish by the
tact that something has occurred in the
oceans depths to kill great numbers OF
them. Along the coast. from Sandy
Hook to Nantucket, myriads of tile fish
were found dead during March last. 1t
Is mystery what caused their destruc-
ton. The scientists are puzzled. This
Is not an unusual phenomenon. In
1889. Sir John Sinclair sailed through
leagues and leagues of sea covered with
dead haddock. This was on the coast
OF Norway and Sweden. and for three
years haddork, before abundant in
these regions. was very scarce. Is ii
not provoking to think that this tie
fish. which could be made so useful as
food Tor man, cannot be cau~ht2 At
least it has not been caught so far. and
Is barely known TO piscicultursts. If
ever man should obtain rs complete
knowledge of the bottom of the sea rs
he has of the surface of the land. il
would doubtless be found that there are
tens OF thousands of varieties of fishes
and submarine animals that might serve
Tor human food. No doubt there are
Sea serpents and other monsters of the
