The amount of money invested in life in
surance companies is SO great. and the inter-
ests they represent 80 sacred and vital that
readers of the public press look with much
interest to their annual reports. The last
statement of the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance companysnow before us, is worthy
of few words Of comment, as IL shows q
most gratifying exhibit Of strength, thrift
and sound business management. The
schedule of assets shows $51, ,5S1.32 net.
The surplus by the company's own standard
of per cent, amounts to 81, 026, 276.47, while
by the New York state standard it would
amount to over $7,000,000. This shows q
gain over last year of $3.50, 4l2.24. There was
O large increase in income and amount of
loans over the figures of the preceding year,
and n notable advance in the business done.
The addition to the net assets was $1,043,-
219.41. AS one straw indicating the direction
of the wind, we are told that the balances
due from agents were merely nominal, and
no premiums left in course of collection at
the end of the year. The thoroughness with
which the business was closed up seems to
have permeated every department.. The i'm
preston left by reading the report is very
satisfactory one, and shows that the men who
manage the company have utilized every
precaution dictated by sound theories of the
life insurance business, and united to it
economy in administration.

NEW YORK Feb. 1.-the market opened
lower than Mondays closing. Stocks were
dull and weak for tho first quarter of an
hour, when the heavy selling ceased, and
prices reacted. The business was principally
in Oregon Transcontinental and Union
Pacific, both at considerable advances above
Mondays closing, Oregon Transcontinental
going up IA and Union Pacific l per cent.
Northwestern, Rock Island, and Chicago,
Burlington, and Quincy were strong and
higher. Gould stocks were steady, the rest
of tho market dull and firm. Borrowing
demand fair. Bonds stronger, especially
West Shore. Tho market closed dull and
droopy.
Conservative brokers expect reaction
with lower prices, on the ground that the
market should have declined more than 10
did Monday under the large realizing going
on in 81. Paul, Union Pacific, Western Union,
and Missouri Pacific.
President Endicott, of the Oregon Trans
continental company, says there is no chan 20
in the condition Of Oregon Transcontinental
affairs. and nothing warranting decline in
the stock.
Councilman & Co.'s Chicago special ad-
vises buying wheat for q turn, and IL the
present warm weather continues, and causes
exposure to growing CROP they think buying
will be large Provisions look as II prices
could DO advanced easily.
There has been excellent outside buying
of the dividend-paying stocks this morning
and indications clearly showing the intention
of tho bull leaders not to allow the late re-
action to got beyond control.
Decker, Hamell g. Co. have been the prin-
cipal buyers to-day. They were in Northern
Pacific aud Oregon Transcontinontal and are
now in the Northwest crowd.
The outside buying in the market looks
tired, and trading is very dull. The nasty
weather prevents many large operators COM
ing down town to-day.

The Oldest specimen Of pure glass bearing
anything like date is little nodded lions
head, bearing the name of an Egyptian king
of the eleventh dynasty in the Slade collec-
ton Of the British museum. That is to say,
at period which may be moderately placed
as moro than 1000 years b. c. glass was not
only made, but made with o skill that shows
that the art was nothing new. The invention
of glazing pottery with with o film or var
nish Of glass Is 80 old that among the frag.
ments, which bear inscriptions of tho early
Egyptian monarchs arc beads possibly of the
first dynasty. OF later glass there are nu-
merous examples, such as tho bead found
at Thebes, which has the name
of Queen Hatasoo or Hashep of the
eighteenth dynasty. OF tho same period
are vases and goblets and many fragments
by Pliny, which assigns the credit of the in
vention to the Phenicians, is so far true that
these adventurous merchants brought speci-
mems TO other countries from Egypt. DIR.
Schlieman found disks Of glass in tho excava-
tions at MycenR, though Homer does not
mention it as % substance known to him.
That the modern art of tho glass blower was
known long before is certain, from repre-
sensations among the pictures on the walls of
q tomb at Benz Hassan Of the twelfth Egyptian
dynasty; but much older picture, which
probably represented tho same manufacture,
Is among the half-obliterated scenes in q
chamber of tomb of Thy, ut Shakkarat, and
dates from the time of the fifth dynasty, q
time so remote that 1t is not possible, in spite
of the assiduous researches of many Egyptol-
ogers, to give date in years

LUTHER: A SHORT BIOGRAPHY. BY JAMES
ANTHONY FRoUDE. New York; Charles Scrib-
ner's Sons. Washington william Ballantyne
e Son.
While the announcement that this book 10
short biography Of the great reformer is
sustained by brief sketch Of the prominent
incidents in tho career of Luther, the work
is really an essay upon the life and character
Of the man who created a revolution in tho
religious world, the effects whereof arc still
felt, and will exert an influence so long as the
Christian religion shall exist. The book Is
oharminRly written in Mr. Froude's incisive
and epigramatic style. and the reflections
interjected upon nearly every page furnish
good food for thought. Tho work
was written before the 400th birthday Of
Luther, which was generally celebrated in
Protestant Christondom, and the author seems
to think that something Of the same bitter
hostility between the Roman church and the
Protestsnts as existed at tho period Luther
proclaimed against the abuses of the papacy
obtains at the present time, and hence tho
need of a concise and stirring biography Of
the man who more than any other was re-
sponsible for the extended revolt against the
Romish hierarchy. This proposition may be
seriously doubted. The advance Of thought
has made the followers Of Luther
far moro liberal in their views and
the Catholic church is much more tolerant
than formerly, and though there are many
who think that sooner or later there will
come n conflict between the two religious
factions in this country, yot those who
calmly consult the growing tolerance Of both
r II
thought have no fears upon that point. Mr..
Froude's book is one which will be read with
deep interest by all who vonorate the sturdy
champion of simple truth, tho defender of the
Bible in its purity and simplicity, and the
courageous opponent of the papal sway which
makes man infallible and holds the con-
sciences of its believers at the dictum Of the
priesthood.

tano IL Co. Price, S1.25.
The author has selected the period when
tho Aztec empire was in the zenith of its
glory, and has given story of its conquest
by Cortes that is full of dramatic force, in
poem Of two cantos, which he has called
Montezuma." In this work he has given
evidence of great historical research and care
full handling Of the materials at his disposal
The poem is accompanied with copious notes
and vocabulary indicating the proper pro-
nunciation Of the Aztec names. Beside
Montezums," there is also lyric poem,
"Anteros," in which the story of coquette
who plights her love to one, but gives her
hand to another, and then after her marriage
brings the discarded lover again to her feet,
only to again cast him off after she tires of
his alteration, is told in sometimes pleasing
verse.

The country of which this book treats is
of decided interest to our people at the pres
emit time. Lying as 1t docs contiguous to
our own boundaries and rich in,mineral and
other products, it has attracted number of
capitalists Of the United States, who see rich
returns for their investment. The author
has made his work compendium Of general
information for the use of tourists as well as
settlers. That his work has been faithfully
done is attested by letter from Gen. Grant,
who says that the book supplies want now
for the first time being felt, and that it will
give the traveller the information he wants.
Information is wonderfully condensed in it,
and wonder at its completeness in so little
space" The book is abundantly filled with
illustrations and has also good map of
Mexico.
