TRUSTING IN Tue LORD.
A Couple Destroy PaId-up Insurance
Policy.
LouisriUe Cour;er-Joarnal.

LOuisciHe COurieT-J6apadl.
The peculiar effects of the recent ''faith
cure" revival in this city appear In va
riOus ways. A few days ago a very
strange outcome Of the belief in the new
doctrine came to light in the office of a
life insurance company in this city. MIR.
Francis Lloyd and wife entered the Office
and presented 10 the cashier the frag-
meuts of an insurance policy which Mr..
Lloyd had taken out several years ago.
The policy was for $1,000 aud was paid
up, and the family were drawing small
dividend from it yearly. Mrs. Lloyd
seemed to do most of the talking. She
handed the mutilated paper to the cash
Ter with the remark that they would have
nothing more to do with it, but would
hencefOrth ''trust in the Lord"
The cashier was very much surprised
and undertook to reason with them, but
it was impossible. The policy had been
made payable to Mrs. Lloyd, with re-
version to her children, and the cashier
assured her that although she had torn
the policy TO pieces that did not alter the
contract, and that the company would
give her a certificate OF its destruction
which would answer every purpose of the
original policy. The couple replied that
they would have no certificate; they were
done with the policy and the premiums,
and would never again touch cent OF
the money. They were again assured
that should Mrs. Lloyd, the beneficiary,
refuse to accept the money on the death
of her husband it would be paid to her
children, and that n guardian would be
provided for the purpose; that the money
did not belong to the company, and would
be in some manner paid to the proper
parties.
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd are apparently 40 and
IS years Ofage respectively, and are people
of average intelligence, Mrs. Lloyd being
particularly n bright and interesting
talker. They live in Portland and are in
moderate circumstances financially, Mr..
Lloyd being a laborer. Since the advent
OF the evangelist, Bulkley, they have
broOdcd over their insurance policy day
and night, and, being unable to under
stand the Insurance business by any rules
of arithmetic, they consequently place it
in the domain of superstition, and, I'M
der the influence of the faith cure craze,
they decided to end it. Among the frag-
ments of the destroyed policy were other
bits Of paper showing that the parties had
treated in similar manner another pol
icy. The amount Of the second policy
was unknown.

COLLEGE EXPENSES.
How schools are Classified ! according to
Costs.

Although the difference in the amount
of money which students at different col
leges spend is very great, says the Har-
yard Crimson, there is not such dispari-
ty in the necessary expenses as many
people suppose. At the city colleges,
such as Harvard, Yale and Columbia.
the necessary annual expense may be
about 500 more than at Amherst. Dart
mouth, or Williams; but this slight in
crease is more than counter balanced BY the
aid which the larger colleges offer to indi-
gent students. Harvard has at her DIS
posal 122 scholarships, varying in amount
from $75 TO $3.50, averaging about 1925. In
the freshman year there are two assign
ments made, and it is possible for a stu
dent to receive 5000 in scholarships during
his first yCar-a sum more than sufficient
to pay all his expenses. Here aid is
given TO students who are needy and who
stand high in their classes; but in almost
all other colleges those who intend to
study for the university are the favored
ones, and at some colleges 1t is inIpOssi
BILE for any others TO receive the slightest
assistance.
Room rent, board and tuition are the
principal items in the necessary eX-
pCnses; and OF these room rent varies the
lhOSJ. Al Amherst student pays from
$40 10 $l2j tor single room; at Williams.
$50 10 500; at Yale, $50 to $40; while at
Harvard the rent varies all the way from
$44 to $500, with very few desirable
rooms for less than $50. OF course, If
two students room together the expense
is reduced one-half. The difference in the
second item, board, Is not nearly so great,
the large numbers at the city colleges
rendering cooperation much easier, ana
enabling the stuGents TO procure better
board at a less cost. 1t is possible to get
as good board for 81 a week here at Me
mortal Hall as could be got at Amhest or
any other college for So or $6. Tuition
ranges all the way from S12 per year at
Oberlin, Ono, to 5000 at Columbia; at
Brown, BowdOin, Princeton and Will
lIams, it is SO; at Amherst 500, at Yale
$40, ana at Harvard $3.50. BY adding to
these main items of expense other neces-
sary items, such as clothing, fuel, wash
ing. books, etc, we can arrive at what
may be called the minimum expense at
the various colleges. Statistics have been
carefully prepared at this point, and the
following may be said to be the very
least annual expenditure which Will carry
a student through the several colleges:
Harvard, $47J; Yale, $425; Amherst, VIII
liams and other colleges of the same
stamp. abOlt 1915.

ProfessIonaI Route to alatrlmonx.

PrOfes stOnai Route to NatrimOny.
Boston Correspondence Cincinnati C0nllaercia1
Sixty years ago, and even later, the
shortest path to fame and wealthy wife
in Boston was course dn the Harvard
College Divinity School. A previous
graduation from the college itself was
great, but not an indispensable, help. Its
best substitute was the attainment of a
Harvard prOfessOrship. In this case the
min starIal programme might be omitted.
Still, the rich merchants OF Boston, WHO
objected to the sons of their wealthy
uelZhb0rs as eXtravagant and dissipated,
and who were equally averse to making
sons-in-law of their impecunious, II
promising, clerks, regarded young Unita-
rian divines as both respectable and safe.
Edward Everett found it easy TO WOO and
win the daughter of the millionaire Peter
Z. Brooks; Jared Sparks espOused the
wealthy Miss Sils6ee, Of Salem; George
Bancroft, who was then a preacher, also
married money, and second
Miss Brooks smiled on the offers
of the Rev. n. L. rockingham,
father Of the noted Radical of our
day, the Rev. 0ctaYius Brooks Fr0thing-
ham. The Rev. Andrews Norton, father
OF Charles Eliot Norton, married a second
Miss Eliot. and lived to become one of the
ablest of Unitarian p0lemics, assaiing
with equal energy Old-fashiOned OrthO-
doxy and EmersOnian characterization

Of ic6delity." ] might extend the list of
fortune-winning clergymen, hut the above
named specimens are sufficient. The
professional route to matrimony has often
proved a very successful one, though, Of
course, there never have been as many
empty college chairs as pulpits to tempt
the ambitious scholar. Neither George
TicknOr nor Henry w. LOngfellow was a
graduate of Harvard. The poet received
his bachelors degree at Bowdoin College,
Maine, and afterwerd Became a Professor
there. He married his first wife in his
native State, and was wIdOWer when he
met abroad the pleasing and wealthy Miss
Appleton, of Boston. His first Overtures
were unsuccessful, but as all readers of
"Outre Mer'' and Hyperion" know, his
devotion and growing reputation tri-
umFhed at last, and a Harvard Professor
ship and a fortunate union were secured
at nearly the same time.

to the place of angels and God.
She was blessed with an active mind and a
very clear Judgment. She would have succeed

four years she had been a true helpmeet to her

was of long duration and involved most eXcruci-
ating pain for many long months, yet, all was
borne with patience which deserves tho great

reached by the slow and steady march of an in

in his patients welfare were of such a character
as to win the deepest place in the affections of

The New York Appointments.

President Cleveland gave the New York
politicians real surprise, last Saturday, by
the appointment of Edward L. Hedden as
Collector of that port Hans S. Beatte as
Surveyor and Silas W. Burt as Naval Officer.
No one seems to have thought of Mr.. Redden
as Collector, but his appointment is recog-
nized as thoroughly good one. He is an
earnest Democrat and a merchant of high
standing. Mr.. Beattie is also lifelong
Democrat, and both belong to the County
Democracy. Col Burt was formerly Re-
publican, but voted for Cleveland and is now
Democrat. His appointment ought to be
acceptable to the mugwumps, as he is strong
advocate of civil-service reform, and has be-
fore filled with great credit the office to which
he has again been appointed.

WILMA FARMERS CLUB.

The wilma Farmers Club met on Wednesday,
June gath, at the residence of Mr.. Wakeman
Bevard. The meeting was one of the most pleas
ant held since the organization of the club. Mr..
Bevard has very fine farm of about $50 acres ly-
Ing four miles south of Bel Air, in the fertile
winters Run Valley" Members of the club
familiar with the property noticed that there had
been much done in the way of improvements in
the past few years. The house and barn are sup
piled with an abundance of pure spring water,
brought by natural flow from spring about six
hundred yards distant, and carried to the top of
the house. The committee appointed to inspect
the premises made the following report
Wheat looking unusually well for the season,
tomatoes and corn well worked and growing
finely; the farm buildings well adapted to their
uses and in good order.
The question for discussion. Permanent pas
lures and how to maintain them" WAS pretty
freely talked oyer. Only few of the members
mad had any experience in the management of
permanent pastures. Most OF them were In the
habit of changing their pasture fields every year
or two.
The prevailing opinion of the Club seemed to
be that land moderately pastured year after year
would not go back any In point of fertility bat
would show some improvement without top
dressing, but that it would pay to make the land
rich and top-dress with stable manure or bone
which was the only way to establish a set Of
green" or natural grass. When you had reach
ed this point your pasture field was perfect and
could be maintained for an indefinite period by
an occasional top dressing of stable manure or
some other good fertilizer.
The merits of the different grasses were dis
cussed. Some of the members thought that orch

allowed to mature. Upon one point, however,
the club was unanimous. and that was that
green grass" was the best of all, and that it
positively would not grow on poor land.
