PINEApPLEs IN FLORIDA.

Governor Gleason predicts that
the pineapple crop. of Florida will
soon be more important than the
orange. One of the best things, he
says, about the pineapple crop is
that the common scrub and palmetto
lands of South Florida seem just
suited to it. Hummock land is not
adapted to the growth, as it pro-
duces too much plant and inferior
fruit, while the scrub land produces
just the reverse. Plants set out last
October were recently seen bearing
small fruit, and it has been generally
considered that plant would not
bear fruit under eighteen months
from the time 1t was first planted.
All engaged in the growing of pine
apples in Brevard and Dade coun-
ties, he says, are much pleased with
this years yield and hopeful of the
future. ---New York San.

STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
l. rectors of the Equitable Life As
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Ell dowment and Tontine 20.
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by in.
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash diyi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-Thc premiums on Tontine pO-
licy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits IN cash at the end of
stated period; thus, during his own life.
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine pc.
licies 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 interest
on the premiums
dth-Tontine 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 years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-EXperience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is consider.
able source of profit
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-forfcitable under the laws of the
State, ii so desired at the time the as
surance is effected.
8th-The Tontine system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business, the
funds judiciously invested and improv-
ed and the accumulated profits faith
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi-
cation transacted a larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the irst half
of the present year is $1,750,000 larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $60,0o0,O0O; over SD. 00O,-
