Heavy Life Insurance.

Mr.. Hamilton Disston, the million
aire manufacturer and president of the
Florida Land and Improvement COM
pany, is carrying a heavier line of life
insurance than probably any 9th
or man in the United States. He has
S400, 900 in force upon his life in the
regular companies, while he is good for
several thousand additional in many
mutual concerns. The only man who
is regarded as his rival in this is en-
State Senator George X. Anderson. of
Titusvillc, this state. who is report
ed to have about 100000 upon his
life.
In explaining how this was done Mr..
Disston said to 4 Record man yesterday !:
sOne day an insurance agent said to
me that he would like to have the dis
tinction of being able TO say that he
had placed the largest individual life
insurance of any agent in the United
States, and proved to me that il would
be profitable business operation, and
so told him to 90 ahead
The bulk of the assurances have been
placed within the last few years and
are scattered among thirteen compan-
les of unIucstionabte responsibility. In
order to maintain this enormous insur-
ance Mr.. DisstOn pays to the various
companies who are carrying him $50
600 in premiums per annum.
An agent of IN insurance company
said "This insurance of Mr.. DiSstOn
may look TO be enormous, but really il
is not. Ii is impossible for some men
IL insure To an amount that would be-
gin TO compensate their estates
for their death. Now Mr.. Diss-
ton is worth 100000 n year TO his
estate, and this insurance of 100000
would be but n slight comparison to his
worth rs u money-makcr."
Another heavily insured Philadel-
phian is John b. Stctson, the hat man
ufacturer, who has $500. 900 upon his
life.
The reporter was shown n list of
prominent people who are insured to
the amount of $4,000, there being
among them Cyrus w. Field, the cap
italist and ocean cable owner; Charles
A. Dana, editor OF the New York SIM;
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sd; j. B. Brcws-
ter, the New York carriage builder;
John Gill, of Baltimore; Charles Par
IRISH, the coal operator of Wilkesbarre;
p. II. Glatfelter. the paper manufact-
urer of Spring Forge, and j. L. Hol-
lenback. of Luzerne county, Pennsyl-
vania. Phildde'5D}ttG Record.

The Wonderful Secret.

Once on a time there was king who
had little boy whom he loved very
much. So he took great deal of pains
to make him happy.
He gave him beautiful rooms to live
in, and pictures and toys and books
without number. He gave him grace
full, gentle pony, that he might ride on
when he pleased, and row-boat on a
lovely lake, and servants to wait upon
him wherever he went. He also pro-
v,ded teachers who were to give him
the knowledge of things that would
make him good and great.
But for all this the young prince
was not happy. He wore frown
wherever he went, and was always
Wishing for something that he did not
have.
At length, one day magician came
to the court. He saw the scowl on
the boys face, and he said to the
king:
II can make your son happy, and
turn his frown's into smiles. But you
must pay me a great price for telling
him the secret"
"All right" said the king, ''what-
ever you ask will give"
So the price was agreed upon and
paid, and then the magician took the
BOY into private room. He wrote
something with white substance upon
u piece OF white paper. Next he gave
the boy o candle, and told him to light
it and hold it under the paper, and
then see what he could read. Then he
went away.
The boy did as he had been told.
and the white letters on the paper
turned into beautiful blue.
They formed these words:
"Do kindness to some one every
day"
The prince made use of the secret,
and he became the happiest boy in the
realm.

Boarding ut Home.

Farmers may secure farm help much
above the common average by building
houses on their farms to be rented or
sold to those desiring small homes.
The advantage of building such houses
is lost if they are always to be rented.
The most rickety and uncomfortable
house will usually find tenant, but
the character of the occupant will be
largely determined by the kind OF
house in which he is expected to
live. The best class of farm laborers
| will not remain in n poor house, nor in
one in which they can have no hope in
the future of making permanent
home. They should not only be allow
ed but also encouraged to cherish the
ambition of buying few acres as a
homestead for themselves and their
children. This ambition is at least as
laudable as that of the extensive farmer
in adding acre by acre and farm by
farm to increase possessions already
greater than can be proitabiy worked.
The farmer owning 80, 100, 200 or more
acres should calculate TO sell off small
pieces as they are wanted by desirable
men for permanent homes. If the far
mer builds house with the purpose of
ultimately selling il and q few adjoin-
ing acres he will almost certainly build
better than il he intends only to rent il
% employees. He will usually plant
out fruit trees. berries and shrubs to
make a pleasant home, for these things
all help to render the premises more
yalable and more valuable from the
money-making standpoint. The build
ing of such desirable little homes for
farm laborers may seem to involve too
much trouble and expense, yet it is an
investment that will pay in more ways
than one. Much of the work may be
done at odd jobs and without direct
money outlay. Many years ago good
farmer built three such tenement hous-
es on his farm of $50 acres. He set
fruit trees around each, and these lat
ter soon became so productive that the
places were salable at u price far be-
yond the cost of fitting up. In fact,
they were thought too valuable to be
sold, and the farmer. now an old man,
has the satisfaction of seeing his chill
dren settled around him and living
where they can cheer his declining
days. Had he built poor tenant houses
after the usual pattern, every year they
would have grown less valuable, and
occupied by poor class of tenants, not
half paying the interest on the invest
ment, would finally have become almost
valueless.-American Cutti0ator.

You Heah Me, Sab.

Col. Visscher, of Denver, who is de-
livering his lecture, Sixty Minutes
in the War;" tells a good story on him
self of an episode or something of that
nature, which occurred in the days
when he was the amanuensis of Geo.
ID. Prentice.
Visscher, in those days, was a fair
haired young man, with pale blue eyes,
and destitute of that wealth of brow
and superficial area of polished dome
which he now exhibits on the rostrum.
He was learning the lesson of life then
and every now and then he would
bump up. against an octagonal mass of
cold pressed truth of the neyer-dying
variety that seemed to kind of stun and
concuss him.
One day Visscher wandered into a
prominent hotel in Louisville, and, OBJ
serving that "boiled lobster" was one
of the delicacics on the bill of fare, he
ordered one.
He had never seen lobster and a
rare treat seemed to be in store for
him. He breathed in what atmosphere
there was in the dining room and wait
ed for his bird. At last it was brought
in. Mr.. Visscher took one look at the
great scarlet mass of voluptuous limbs
and oceanic nippers, and sighed. The
lobster was as large as u door mat and
had very angry and iilHamed appear
ance. Visscher ordered in large
cocktail to give him courage, and then
he tried to carve off some of the breast.
The lobster is honera yyen in death.
He is eccentric &nd Sftligg. Those
who know him pest Stel tie first TO
evade him and shun him. Visscher
had failed to straddle the wishbone
properly with his fork. and the talented
bird of the decp-rOlling sea slipped out
of the platter, waved itself across the
horizon twice, and buried itself in the
bosom of the eminent and talented
young man. The eminent and talented
young man took it in his napkin, put it
carefully on the table and weht away.
AS he passed out, the head waiter
said:
"Mr. Visscher, was there anything
the matter with your lObster?"
Visscher is a full blooded Kcntuckian,
and answered in the courteous Dialect
of the bluegrass region.
"Anything the matter with my lob
ster, sab? No, sab. The lobster is
very vigorous, sab. If you had: asked
me how was, should have answered
you very differently, sab. am not at
all well, sab. Ii was as well and as
ruddy and as active rs that lobster, sab,
would live forever, sab. You hear

reptile should get up on his hind feet

love me, sab; but, when they are dead.
sab. and undertake to kearve them,
