STATEMENT.

The undersigned, a Commit
tee of Dire ctors of the Equita-
ole Life Assurance Society Of
the United States, appointed to
formulate the views ofthe Board
on the advantages offered by
the Society to the public rep ort
1st. The Society issues all
the approved forms of Assur-
ance, including Ordinary Life,
Endowment, and Tont ne poll
cies. 1t is immaterial to the
Directors which form Of policy
is taken by intending assurers.
I'd. The Life and Endowment
forms of policy provide for annu-
al cash dividends and a sur
render value; are indisputable
after three years, and payable
Immediately af .er proof of death.
sd. The premiums on a Ton
tine policy are the same as on
the Ordinary Life, but, while the
latter is only payable in the
event ofdeath, the holder of the
Tontine policy has the right to
draw the whole of the reserve
and the accumulated profits in
cash at the end of the stated
period; thus, during his own
life time, after his producing
years are past, he can without
any larger premium than on an
ordinary pol cy, secure these
GREAT Err advantages.
4th. Experience shows that the re-
turn paid in cash on m aturing Tontine
policies approximates to, or exceeds
the amount Of premiums paid by policy
holders, SO that the average cost OF the
assurance will be only about the inter-
est on the premiums.
5th Tontne Policies, like others,
are paid in full in the event OF death at
any time during the term Of the policy,
and are incontestable after three yea S,
and payable imme diately after due proof
Of death.
9th. Experience shows that the NOR
tally is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind Of assurance, viii h is a consider
able source of profit.
9TH. TOntine Policies will be
made no l-fOrfeitable under the
laws Ofthe State, if so d sired
at the time the assurance is eff
te cite 1.
Sth. The TOntine system is
fair and just; it's accounts are
accurately kept, separate from
all other business the funds
judiciOusly invested and i'm
proved, and the a 'cumulated
profits faithfully guarded and
properly appOrtiOned.
9th. The Society has since it's
org an cation tranSa ted II argt +
amount of new business than
any other company, while its
new business for the first half
ufthc present year is 81, $780,
900 larger tina that of the first
half of 1884. 1t has Assets Of
100000; over Sill, 900
90 of Surplus, and its ratio of
surplus to Liability is greater
than that of any other compa-
ny.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Celestial Motion.

The view of the cloudless and
moonless armament on a dark clear
night, when the whole vast black arch
seems tremuIous with the scintilIa-
tions OF 5000 stars, is always over
whelming to one who gazes steadily
at the sublime picture and yields
himself up to the train of reflection
which it suggests. But the mighty
scene grows doubly interesting when
it is known to be all in motion-not
only movement of the whole ex-
pansc, but an individual motion of
each separate point of light. Sup
pose the universe were stationary,
how would 1T appear? Let us see.
The motionless earth would forever
have one side turned toward the
blazing motionless sun and the other
in perpetual night. There would be
no rising and setting of the sun and
no rising and setting of the stars
The silent, mighty procession of the
skies would be ended and the heavens
would be dead. The condition would
be unendurable to human beings, if
there were any human beings to see
it. But there would be none. Life
would be equally impossible on that
side of the earth where there was
perpetual day withouta night and on
that side where there was perpetual
night without day.
Motion, then, is the essential and
everlasting condition of the universe
and everything in it. There is no
rest. And this motion is inconceiv-
ably complex. Our earth itself has
four motions that we know of-one
on its axis every day; one round the
sun every year; one swaying motion
on its axis, which causes the celestial
pole to describe a great circle in the
heavens every $4,000 years, and one
by which the solar system is carried
through space in the direction Of the
constellation Hercules. And there
are, probably, other movements which
we know nothing about.-Ezchauge.

that all the glory in this respect effui gated
upon a single road. Indeed thai one line
absorbing everything there wss i'll rail-

monopollstlc standpoint, the full jnstlh

charges generally anything but conducive

only dollars but nickles count. In ac-

more and Ohio long since established as

entire absence of eXacting extras upon

whatever made 1t tappear that there could
be good and sufficient grounds for only
