CHICAGO, Aug. 30-The second days.
session of the fire underwriters began this
morning. The constitution was amended
so as to have its annual meetings occur in
September on date to be fixed by the ex-
committee instead of the third week in
August. The committee to which the
subjecS of state boards was referred en-
dofsed the idea of paid commission, and
recommended that the old system of
commissions be abandoned. The reports
of state boards showed a marked increase
in the number of local boards during the
asst year. Prof. A. E. DoIber, of Tufts
college, Boston, read paper on electri-
city and in answer to queries propounded
by members as to the danger from electri-
cal lighting. He said the danger was very
great unless proper precautions were
taken, but the regulations already enforced
by insurance companies made lighting by
electricity altogether safer than By
kerosene.
JIG. Griffths, of Madison, Wis, read a
paper on recommendations for the future,
and argued that the adoption OF the con
tract system in connection with state
boards would result in positive remedies
for many existing evils.
Mr.. Z. Drew, of Evansville, Ind, argued
that great improvement might take place
in the settlement Of losses by the general
management of companies, but contended
that local agents were necessary, and the
speaker defended them against some criti
cisms passed on them as class.
The following officers were elected:

4 STUDENTS DRESS.

A students dress should be such as
will allow the body freedom of motion,
and secure it comfort, and thus leave
the mind free to devote itself to study.
The New York Tribune utters sundry
wise words as to what should and
should not be worn by scholars. $50
far as possible the student should put
on in the morning the clothes he is to
wear till he goes to bed again at night,
and not have occasion between times to
give them thought other than is be-
slowed by all careful and tidy people in
keeping their apparel neat and spot
less.
"This is as desirable for girls as for
boys, for young women as for young
men, and as possible. Two suits of
clothes, one for every day and one for
holidays, are ample for boy.
"For girl, two suits for every day
and one for holidays is desirable.
We have known students of both sexes
who had but one suit for all occasions
and always seemed well-dressed.
at is well for boys and young men to
have study-gown to wear in their
rooms and when taking recreation, and
girls should have large aprons to wear
when they are putting their rooms in
order
"For girls, dark wooden goods of
fine quality make the most serviceable
suits. Black shows dust and spots too
easily to be pleasant for everyday wear,
though it has the advantage of compel
ling perfect tidiness if one would seem
clean.
at is economy, if two suits are pro-
vided, to wear that of the best quality
every day, and that of inferior quality
only occasionally, then both will last
better and longer than by the reverse
method.
eff well-to-do parents will remember
the poorer students with whom their
children will be associated and avoid
ostentatious clothing, they will confer
equal benefit on both.
"The consciousness of being excep-
tional in appearance is no advantage to
the student, and is often disadvant-
age. Both extremes well-dressed,
too ll-dressed-should be avoided.
"Waterproofs, shawls, wraps, rub
bers, umbrellas, should not be omitted
in the outfit. When hard study brings
the blood to. the brain, the body is in
poor condition to resist changes of tenn
perature and moisture.
with due attention to diet, dress,
exercise and sleep, there is no reason
why the healthful student should not
retain his health during the usual course
of study marked out for college gradu-
ates and enter upon mature life actually
stronger, physically as well as mentally,
for the course he has gone through"

JOHN BUNKAN on KISSING.

John Bunyan was opposed to the kiss
ing of women. Il abhor it." he said 4;
"it is odious to me in whomsoever I see
it. When I have seen good men salute
those women that they have visited, or
that have visited them, I have made my
objections against it, and when they
have answered that it was but a piece
of civility, I have told them it was not
a comedy sight. Some, indeed, have ar
gued the holy kiss; but then I have
asked them why they made balks -?
Why they did salute the most hand
some and let the ill-favored go?" And
that last is conundrum they never yet
answered. The true answer is: "There
is not so much fun in it."-Detroit
Free Press.

SAYING GOLD.

In the manufacture of jewelry the
tiniest bits of the precious metals are
gathered with the greatest care. After
particles of gold have become i'm
perceptible to the naked eye, means are
adopted by which they are accumula ed,
remelted and worked over again. In
some Of the large factories, where god
is handled in large quantities, special
floors are made. The flooring is double
and made of the best material, and has
laid between the upper and lower sec
lions asphalt paper covered with tar.
Minute particles of gold ind their way
between the seams of the upper section
and Immediately adhere to the sticky
tar. It is calculated that when the
floor of jewelers. shop is removed the
gold accumulated in the crevices and
such places will more than pay the ex-
pense of new one. Every possible
particle Of filing, scraping, grinding,
polishing dust or engraving chips is
preserved for the assayer with as much
scrupulous care as the shipping Of the
goods from which they had been de-
tached. The wheels upon which gold
and silver have been polished, when
worn out, are burned and the fire re-
veals particles of the precious metals
which were hidden to all but the chem
list. Sweepings are quite valuable, and
would be material loss to the manu-
facturer if not saved, even after the
workman has picked up every bit of
metal that has fallen on the floor. This
dirt from the floor will sell for $40 q
barrel. A Jersey City firm deals in this
peculiar dirt almost exclusively. The
caps of the workmen are often hnrnnd

WoMAN'S RIGHTS IN SWITZERLAND

WO1fAN'S RIGHTS IN SWITZERLAND.
"Look there" said one of the tour
lists, pointing out of the car window as
we neared the village of Vernayaz,
Switzerland.
A woman was leading a little mich
COW, pulling her along. and encourag-
ing her. The little COW was drawing
loaded cart. A man sat upon the load
ed cart. He was most healthy look
ing man. He held the reins of the ma
chine in his hands, and drove the COW
and the woman in the way they should
go.
That is one Swiss woman's-rights in
cident. Here is another: At Vernayaz,
one afternoon, two of the lady tourists
assembled a mountain path. It was
long climb, SO steep and trying that
less than half dozen of the party cared
to try it. Up and up the ladies went,
taking their time. Now they paused
awhile to take breath, and sometimes
they used both feet and their hands,
and made canes of their umbrellas, to
give themselves lift. They thought
they had accomplished feat worth
while when, at last, they paused at the
top, and looked about them upon one of
the most glorious views they had seen
on the whole trip. At length, after
resting awhile, they started down, feel
ing slightly set up over what they had
done. But they felt very small a few
minutes later. They came suddenly to
one of the steepest turns in the path.
There they came face to face with
chufy little Swiss woman who was 60
ing up the mountain way. On her arm
she carried a good-sized basketful of
something. Upon her head was an
enormous bundle. It was balanced SO
as to keep its place. In her two hands
she held long stocking, and was knit
ting away for dear life. The woman
was actually carrying load heavy
enough for horse upon her head, the
basket mentioned upon her arm, and
was knitting, while she made an ascent
which two healthy American women
had been rather proud of accomplishing
without carrying anything, and with the
assistance of their hands and canes.
This was an illustration of woman in
the industries.-Cor. Cincinnati Cone-
mercial,

THE MINNESOTA PROCESS.

Minnesota millers no longer grind
wheat into -four, but "crack it." and
burr millstones are things of the past,
Hungarian steel rollers having taken
their place. 1t takes five sets of steel
rollers to finish the flour, and each set
runs closer together than the preced-
ing. This is portion of the new pro-
cess" and enables the miller to separate
the germ of the wheat from the other
parts, the germ being Objectionable on
account of the dark color it imparts to
-four.

COMETS.

Far be it from US to express great
distrust in the science of astronomy,
for it is one of the marvels of human
learning; but we must note the fac
that it has attached to it a department
of conjecture where the thought Of tic
man with a telescope is of no more
value than the thought of the man
with a gun or an ak or an oper:
glass. Comets come to remind us how
little is really known of the sun and Of
all that comes out of itsor falls into i.
When the annular eclipse occurred a
few years ago, observers saw great BIZ
lows of fame shoot up from the sun u
the height of 10000 miles. That OBJ
which to us seems so peaceful thus
showed that it is an awfully excited ball
of fire, and, instead of drawing in com
cts and aerolites, it may be throwing
them out at times into surrounding
space. A more common theory is that
the sun was once million times larger.
in bulk than it now is, and that it has
gradually contracted as it has gradually
cooled. At some far-off time it will
cease to throw off heat enough to warm
or light a planet so remote as earth,
and that earth will then cease TO be the
abode of man or any form of life. If
the sun was once as vast as the space
filled by our system, then the earth was
hot mass projected away from the
main body, and such was Venus, such
Jupiter. What we call comets may
also be the fragments of that oldest
and earliest conglomeration which now
gives US day and heat in uniform

proof that there was much doing once

THE TROUBLE WITH THE sTEW4RD.
where is the old steward ?" inquired
a traveller as he stepped aboard an out
going steamer, just previous to his de-
partUre.
ooh, he was discharged some time
ago." replied the Captain.
"Why, he seemed to be frst-class
fellow" rejoined the first speaker;
"why was he kicked out?"
"Well, to tell you the trath, he got
too big for his breeches, and we bounced
him." emphatically CALCULATED the Cap
tain.
This conversation occurred within
hearing of bright-eyed, intelligent lit
tie girl, the daughter of one of the tour
lists on that steamer. Subsequently an
other passenger arrived, and, after BE-
slowing casual glance around, said:
"I don't see the old steward; what has
become of him?"
Il think he was discharged, volun-
teered bystander.
do you know what for?"
mo, sir"
II do" piped small voice from the
cabin door.
Looking around, the inquirer Jaw the
smiling face Of little girl peeping out
at him.
well, my DEAR" said he, "why was
the steward discharged?"
ooh, I don't like to tell" she bash
fully replied.
"But I want to know" he persisted.
"Come, tell me, that's a good girl.
What did they discharge him for?'

"'cause his pants were too short! !

THIRSTY PEOPLE.
Norel Methods Aaopted by People to Get a
Drink.
From an Unknown Exchanged

O1G1lhs
from an Unknown Exchanged
People who suffer from thirst are Of
ten IL great agony. There appears to
be no limit to their efforts to quench
thirst while thus suffering. Others
have an appetite for drink, and to sat
isfy the appetite resort to all manner of
means. Soldiers on the march, under
broiling sun and over a dusty road,
suffer more, probably, than any other
class. In our own city, on gala days
during the heated term, how refreshing
is glass of lemonade to the sweltering
soldier or ordinary pedestrian? On the
march, in active service, we have seen
the soldier stop by the roadside and
moisten his parched lips and throat
from Shiny pool of water which was
almost unfit for beasts. We have seen
gallant lives sacrificed during the late
war in efforts to quench the thirst of
pickets. The springs were in range of
the rifles of the rebel sharpshooters,
and the soldier who escaped with his
well-flled canteen was most fortunate.
Not long since novel cane was in
use among attendants at places of pub
lie amusement, from the side of which
the holder could secure drink for him
self or friends at any time during the
performance.
On one occasion we remember of
party who was hemmed in in the gal
lery of the theater, and could not get out
for drink. He saw friend in the Or
chestra whom he begged to relieve his
thirst. The friend was willing, but was
at loss to know how to get it up.
The man in the gallery was not at loss
for means under such trying circum-
stances, and promptly met the emer
gency. He asked the crowd if any one
had a string in their pocket. A youth,
who had been out fishing during the
day, produced his line. The man in
the orchestra was notified, and soon
thereafter a bottle was seen whirlihg
around as it gracefully passed upward
in front of those in the family circle.
The man in the gallery had racket all
to himself during the balance of the
night.
But there are other methods even
more ingenious than this to crafty the
appetite and guard against thirst. The
most novel device we have yet seen is
the opera-glass whisky flask. In its
use no one would believe it else than an
opera-glass, yet it holds a good half
pint of whisky. For use in a crowded
audience it is very handy thing to
have, as the holders are not obliged to
90 outside for drink between the acts.
It can be used as an opera-glass with or
without taking a drink. If you want
to take drink there is a spring that
you touch with the finger, when a sill
yer tube drops into the mouth and
the whisky flows easily. 1t works
best when the glass is pointed up at
the gallery.

less than drop of 1-per-cent. alcoholic
solution of nitro-glycerine was given.
In two minutes the pulse fell from 40
to fifty, clammy sweat covered the

senseless. Stimulants to the nose, and
brandy, were quickly administered, and
in about three minutes more she began

entirely rational in her conversation
and composed as usual in her manner,
she could not dispossess herself Of the
