A pleasant feature was bountiful and delicious dinner, prepared and served in the pavilion about noon, after which the picnickers dispersed in search of different amuse- ments.

PAID ALL LOSSES IN FULL !

The last year was an exceptionally disas- trous year to tobacco crops, and the losses were many and great, but they have all been promptly paid.
 This only shows the importance of insuring against these losses Many thought last year they would not insure. and would thus save the small premium, bat one day the hail came and beat upon the crop and they lost ten times the amount ofthe premium.
 At the last annual meeting it was voted to substitute for the premium notes cash pre- mium of five per cent, the officers and mem bers of the company being satisfied that that will meet all contingencies. Anyone insuring therefore for the current year, will only be required to pay cash premium of five per cent on the amount of the insurance, which will cover all liability,-there can be

Some one has made the shrewd re-
mark that, if the growing season ap-
pears too sh 1T to allow crops to ully
n ature ON your farm, it will pay you to
remember that you can really lengthen
it several days by having your land
thoroughly underdrained. This will
not only place your soil in condition
to work earlier, but will also make it
warmer so that plants will grow more
rapidly.
The .4naertcan CUlticdt0r says: GA
few xes in the house, in the windows,
are very useful for starting bedding
plants for those who have not hot
house. Such plants as cabbage, lettuce,
celery and tomotCes should be ready to
put in the open ground as soon as it is
fit and ready for them, and where only
a few each are wanted it is quite as easy
to start them in window boxes as in
hotbeds.n -
Keep plaster always on hand. 1t
is special fertilizer for clover, beans,
peas and potato S. 1t will promote tie
growth of nearly all plants. affords
partial protection against drought, and
will furnish soluble lime to plants that
need it. OF all the fertilizers known
plaster is the cheapest, and, for lis cost,
is the most remunei ative. Two bushels
only are needed for a good application.

The Beggars' Ball.

One o. the curiO-s sights of Paris is
the "Beggars' Ball" This interes inc
event takes place regularly in the some
trict situated between the closed arches
o. the Vincennos Railway viad ct and
the gray walls of the Ma as Prison
There, several times week, the
Partisan beggars meet to have a
dance and forget for moment
their hardships in the joys OF
the dan e. They live in an ad DIN
ing str ct or alley, almost entirely
peopl d by those wh) SUI sist by aims
Ut is their stronghold, their lair, their
place of ABODE. From it they eme ge
in the morning, and to it they return in
the evening. There Ives in Paris sew
eral classes of beggars: Fl st. those
who are allowed to stand in the rect
at a given time and place. These the
passers by have known and seen for
years. Second, thns who creep and
crawl intermittently along the boule-
vards and highways of the fr, nch capi-
tai. Third. those who take up their
station under tn, doorwars, and sell,
as pretext, penci or writ NO
paper. Fourth, those who shun
the crowded pathway for the quiet
courtyard. where they sing, or speak,
or play to the occupants Of the sur
rounding windows. Ibis is the class
of beggars who disport themselves upon
the eight fant:stic toe" Tn Sc
particular beggars have ce tain pre-
tensions to the fine arts. They wish to
tie understood to cultivate music, sing
ing and eloquence They ask aims in
the names of the Muses.. Others-those
who frequ MT the doors Of the G., urches
speak of the Virgin Mary; but these
invoke Erato, Euterpe, and the divine
Polymnia. Some of them attain GER
tain degree of proficiency, and reap a
rich harvest thereby. Their voice has
a tragic ring, their gestu e are moving.
Their ballads enchant seamstresses, ser
want maids and children at the open
windows, and down come the co opers
on the pavement of the court telpw.
Cther beg .ars of this class attempt in
strumental- recitals, songs or spoken
appeals, only to frightsn their hearer
and levy blackmail on UNIV ling audi
ences. Their plan is to excite to re-
bellion, and their harvest. too is rich
one; richer of course than that of their
fellows, who give at least something in
return.
When the professional day is finished
the small army of beggars regain their
quarters for the night. From all parts
or points of the '.br.ck and mortar"
horizon they may be seen vending
their way iomewara, their pockets
we'll filed with gros sous. Their fare
at dinner. or rather. su, per. is coarse
but plentiful, save in certa cs IS
where the begga thinks himself y
gourmet, and, as such, INDUCES in deli
cacses.

Tte;r hall ia tri-week,v. II take.

TIER ball is tri-weeklv. It takes
place at one of the wine shops near the
crossing of the two bouleyards, Diderot
and Dunmesnil. This last name is ap-
propriate, for the brave and gallant
General who bore it had like the first
Marquis of Anglesea, lost chalf his
understanding in The wars of the first
Napoleon, and said he would surrender
the fortress of Vincennes 10 the enemy
when they had given him back his leg.
We say appropriate, for this particular
class of beggars are mostly MANNED.
Manchots, or one-armed men, are in the
ma ority; but there are also lame fid-
dlers and blind singers, together with
the partially paralyzed, who appeal to
the public pity for living. This med
lev of cripples is completed and sea-
ned. as il were, by the beggars' at
tendants-those who hire themselves by
the day to take oat and BRING in such OF
the fraternity OF guild as are unable to
go by themselves. A ball given by such
people is. to say the least, highly inter-
est rg. The ball is well attended.
There is no lax of fun and gay
ETY.. At certain moments there is
something like crush in the
salon and at the shining zinc refresh
ment bar, although at this last neither
greediness nor gluttony is manifested.
The choreographic part of the entertain
ment is not the least amusing. To'see
blind singer waltz, or one armed ac
co-deon player 'chahuter' with a lane
fiddler's wife. is a sight worth seeing.
The orchestra is, of course, easily found
and is fairly proficient. Among the re-
freshments '.nele casSis" and ''sGlafier'
are great favorites. This last is the
beggar's ''bowl of sack" Strange to
say. these good things and many others
are dealt out by the former butler at one
of the most aristocratic houses in Paris.
There is the richest silver plate, diplo-
matists, Ministers of State, Dukes and
Counts and their fair ladies' were served
by him, who now, on his own premises,
is saving money by both purveying and
serving the Beggars' Ball. The lamest
beggers usually dance the most vigor-
ously, and the mo sepulchral are the
merrie2t The particularly remarkable
part of the entertainment, however, as
viewed by the surreptitious stranger. is
the unexpected moderation in eating and
temperance in drinking shown by those
to whom abstinence is generally sup
posed 70 belong only upon compulsion.

had been driven to the family carriage
for number of years and the coach
dog cut to his plantation to be kept un-
til the roads d i up. Shortly after
that he bought pair of horses, which
he drove occasionally, but which were
intended for the farm. One day the
dog visited the family residence and saw
the horses hitched to the carriage, which
evidently caused grave suspicious to
rise in its mind. Without remaining as
long as usual it hastened back to the
farm, and the next morn ng returned
with the ponies. The driver firmly be-
lieves that the dog told the ponies that
they were about to lose their places
