The decision of the Supreme Court
of New York in the celebrated Dwight
case atiirmalively answers the question,
"Does insurance insure?" Dwight WAS
a wealthy citizen Of Binghampton, who
carried a large amount of life insurance
in several companies, and indnlged IN
heavy speculations. He died suddenly
under peculiar circumstances, and all
the companies but ore resisted payment
on the ground that he had committed
suicide with intent to endow his heirs
with the insurance. The companies
failed to prove this and the heirs were
unable to disproye it. The Court decid

The Fallen Judge.

Twenty five years ago young lawyer,

New York. AS business came in slowly,
he drilted into politics. and his pleasant
manners, aided by his fluent tongue,
made him popular with "the boys" who

In order to make new friends and re.
tain old ones, he visited saloons and bar.
rooms, and made himself "hail fellow,
we'll met" with the local politicians.
The little money he earned during the
day was spent at night in treating" the
men he wished to use as stepping stones.
Occasionally an old friend met him,
and seeing his surroundings and tell.tale
looks, dropped word of caution. eyes,

The "boys" elected him judge of the
Marine Court. When he took his seat,
at high salary, his old fashioned
friends again cautioned him.

as a judge and good citizen. But he
had formed the habit of drinking, and
that he did not eradicate. Instead of
visiting saloons, he became member of
fashionable club, and drank champagne
instead of whisky. The club men were
more genteel than the ward politicians,
but not more helpful 10 man who had
promised himself 10 break away from

When the judges term of Office had

sufficient for the purpose we had in view,
which is to show that ruin follows by an

Learning Easy Things.

There are some boys who do not like
to learn anything that is hard. They
like easy lessons and easy work; but
they forget that things which are learned
easily are comparatively little value
when they are learned. A man who
confines himself to easy things must do
hard work for small pay. For example,
boy can learn to cav wood in FIVE
minutes; any boy can learn to saw it in
the same time; any ignorant person can
learn it just as easily; and the result is
the boy who has only learned to saw
wood, if he gets work to do, must do it in
competition with the most ignorant class,
and accept the wages for which they are
willing to work.
Now, it is very we'll for boy to know
how to saw wood. But suppose he knew
how to build q steam engine? This
would be much harder to learn than
saving wood; but when he had learned
it, he would know something which other
people did not know, and when he got
work to do, other people could not come
and get it away from him. He would
havea prospect of steady work and good
wages he would have good trade, and
so be independent. Boys should think
of this. and spend their early days in
learning the things they need to know in
after years. Some boys are very anxious
to earn; but this is not always best. 1t is
often more important that boys should
learn. When they are young they can
earn but little, but they can learn much,
and if they learn things thoroughly
when young, they will earn when they
are older much more than enough to
make up for the time and labor which
i, they spent in learning what to do aud

"What You Might Call Nerve"

II saw an exhibition what you might
call nerve the o,hefSay up jn Delaware
County," said Deacon Charles N. Bean,
of the public stores. 81 was up there on
business last week, near Harpersfeld,
and all acquaintance took me out to fish
for pickerel through the ice. On our
way to the pond. we came to couple of
men chopping in the woods. My friend
knew one of the men, and stopped to
talk with him. The other man kept Oh
chopping. He had made but two or
three strokes with his axe when it flew
off the handle. The sharp blade whizzed
through the air, passed close to- my
friends head, aud striking the other
chopper, whose name was Hagar, cut his
nose off close to his face as clean as il it
had been done with razor. The man
who had lost it put his hand up to his
face in startled sort of way, and looked
down at the severed nose as if he could
hardly believe his eyes. When the full
force of the situation struck him he
looked at his fellow chopper with an
expression of surprise and deep injury
on bis face, and said.
well, Jack, you're d-n nice fellow,
aint ye?'
"Hagar then stopped and picked up
his nose and. pressing his handkerchief
to his bleeding face astouDded both my
friend and myself by resuming the sub.
ject upon which they had been talking
which was the making of a contract for
some chopping-as if nothing of conse.
quence had occurred to interrupt it. My
friend, however, started the other chap
to the village after doctor, and wanted
to take Hagar home at once on his buck,
board. Hagar wouldn't hear to this, and
said he would cut across to his cabin
through the woods and wait for the doc.
tor, aud be started of, without any ap.
parent hurry, carrying his nose in his
hand.
"When we returned that night we
went out of our way two miles to inquire
after Hagar. We found him chopping
up fire wood in front of the cabin.
There was bandage around his face.
When we asked him if the doctor had
seen him he said:
Yes, he's been here. He stuck the
nose on its old place and bound it there,
and said he believed it would grow fast
again, as he had known of such things
happening Say, L came blame near
getting mad at Jack when that axe flew
off to day. He's always cutting some
dido or 0ther.'
"Then we drove back to Harpersfeld

He had just come from a visit to Hagar
He says the man is getting along, and
that the nose will grow fast again, sure

AS TO THE EXPOSITION.

"HOW about the exposition {!
"The universal comment of people
who have visited New Orleans and seen
the exposition, is that the exhibit is
magnificent, but the management could
not be worse. The people of New
Orleans seem to take very little interest
in the exposition except to abuse the
management which they claim has mis-
appropriated much of the funds. The
exposition has spent over two million six
hundred thousand dollars, and the thing
is three hundred thousand dollars in debt
and not paying running expenses. A
number of prominent and wealthy men
say the money could be raised in fifteen
minutes to lift the exposition out of debt,
but the people of New Orleans will not
contribute anything more to the present
management. They say if the exhibitors
could select the managers the money
could be raised and the exposition res.
cued. An effort is now being made to
get another loan from the government,
but there is no hope of the money being
obtained. If the exposition was attend.
ed by 10000 people day from now
until its close the money already loaned
by the government could not be paid
back. The exhibitors are expecting
some sort of a change very soon and
maybe it is best for people who want tc
see the exposition to rush along down and
see it as soon as possible. 1t is worth
twenty trips to New Orleans to see it,
