STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
Il 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, E dowment and Tontine po-
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 divi-
dends and surrender value; are indis-
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-Thc premiums on a Tontine po-
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event of death, the holder of
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 Tontinc pc.
licies approXimatcs 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.
5th-Tontinc 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-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if SO desired at the time the as.
surance is effected.
Sth-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 appoltioncd.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted larger amount of
new business than any olher company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,750,000 larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $60,000,000; over $14 OOO,-
900 of Surplus, and It's ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

HOW HOUSEHOLD REFUSE IS REMOVED
IN EDINBURGH,

One or two wooden "backets"
form part of the furniture of every
Edinburgh household. They are
shaped like truncated cones--the
smaller base forming the bottom
so as to give relatively wide open
top, rendering the bucket easy to
fill and easy to empty when laid
hold of by the wooden ears
which serve for handles. These
'ashbackets'' stand in some conven-
lent corner and receive the days
sweepings-the ashes after being
thriftily sifted-and such debris as
legitimately finds its way into our
own dustbin. The daily vegetable
refuse is promptly burned as soon
as it becomes waste matter--or 1t
NAV be dried under the stove at
highland what is fit to burn is
burned in the kitchen fire in the
morning. At six o clock each morn
ing in Edinburgh old town, and at
seven O'Clock in the new town, these
buckets are carried to the curb by
the house-servant and wait the pub
lie dust-cart. The two men who
accompany the cart lift the bucket
by its handles, and overturn its con-
tents into the cart so easily that
little delay occurs upon the journey
so that, with sufficient plant of
carts and men, Edinburgh may be
looked upon as town swept and
garnished every morning but Sun
day. This is no real exception, for
the Saturday night cleaning is the
great institution of the week, and
then the clever managing servant
carries her "backet" to the street
Just as the cart is about to pass, and
has it ''couped' and returned to her
with the least possible loss of time.
No "tip" is rendered or expected
for this service, which is duly paid
for on business footing in the as
sessments. In London, where the
dustman comes out of his way, with
use of broom and spade, at varying
expenditure of time, in cleansing
receptacles of varying degrees of
foulness, the custom of clipping
for such personal service is of facile
growth, and once established becomes
difficult or impossible to eradicate. -

MATRIMONIAL FASHIONS IN JAPAN.

There is sometimes very matter
of-fact element about matrimonial
fashions in Japan. A vernacular
newspaper describes the case of a
lady whose story illustrates our
statement. She was dancing girl
of Nihon-bashi, and, whether by
industry or Inheritance, her means
were considerably better than those
of the majority of her class. Five
years ago she made the acquaintance
of young gentleman whose man
ners were very engaging and who
represented himself as the heir
apparent to fortune of some four
teen or fifteen thousand dollars. 1t
was not necessary that, like ordinary
heirs, he should wait to step into
some dead mans shoes. A time
had already been fixed for the
allotment of his property. In 1885
he could be quite sure of coming
into possession. Under these cir
cumstances he proposed for the
dancing girl, and obtained her
consent, contingent, however, upon
satisfactory proofs of his heirship.
These were duly forthcoming, and
the country youth became muho in
the geisha'S house, that is to say,
he was received as its lord and
master. His hobby was medicine.
Every day he attended the classes
at the Toxic Medical College, and
in order that his industrious pro-
pensities might not be banked, his
wife paid the fees and other educa-
cational expenses, amounting, on
the average, to ten yen per mensem.
When 1885 came, it found the
happy couple plus son, but minus
about two thousand yen which re-
presented nearly the whole of the
geisha' worldly belongings. But what
matter! The medical student S
dollars were always there. They
weren't, however. The scholastic
youth had not a sen of his own,
either in esse or in posse, which cir
cumstance being discovered, his
wife-did what, think you gentle
reader? Quietly turned him out,
keeping the child herself, and began
to dance again for a livelihood. We
trust she will succeed. - JCpun

j. a. DOW Err,
Ship Carpenter and Boat Builder.

HAS on hand and for sale various
Ill sized surf boats, constructed on
an improved principle of my own in
vention, each frame being of one piece
across the keel. The frames are closer
together, and the boats are therefore
lighter and less liable to bilge in, than
boats of any other build. Each side
plank and gunwale is in one piece from
stem to stern, and is consequently not
liable to strain, there being no midship
butts. The material and workmanship
are warranted to be of the best quality.
Mr.. Robert Levers, of Levers &

boats, and dispose of them at San Fran

How to Split a Sheet of Paper.

1t Is one ofthe most remarkable pro-
perties of that wonderful product, paper,
that it can be split into two or even
three parts, however thin the sheet.
We have seen leaf of the Illustrated
News thus divided in three parts, or
three thin leaves. One consisted of
the surface on which the engravings
are printed; another was the side con-
tanning the letter-press. and a perfectly
blank piece on each side was the paper
that lay between. Many people who
have not seen this done might think it
impossible; yet it is not only possible,
but extremely easy, as we shall show.
Get piece of plate-glass and place on
it "a sheet of paper; then let the letter
be thoroughly soaked. With care and
a little dexterity the sheet can be split
by the top surface being removed. But
the best plan is to paste piece of cloth
or strong paper to each side Of the sheet
to be split. When dry, violently and
without hesitation pull the two pieces
asunder, when part of the sheet will be
found to have adhered to one and part
to the other. Soften the paste in water
and the pieces can easily be removed
from the cloth. The process is general
ly demonstrated as matter of curiosi-
ty, yet it can be utilized In various
ways. IL we want to paste in q scrap
book o newspaper article printed on
both sides of the paper, and possess
only one copy, 1t is very convenient to
know how to detach the one side from
the other. The paper when split, as
may be imagined, is more transparent
than Is it was before being subjected to
the operation, and the printing ink
somewhat duller; otherwise the two
pieces present the appearance Of the
original if again brought together.
Some time ago the information of how
to do this splitting was advertised to be
sold for a considerable sum. We now
impart it to all our readers gratuitous-
ly.-Pnper Trade Journal.

Mysterious but True.

We often hear of the great West be-
ing the land of plenty, the granary of
the world and all that sort of thing, and
when one reads statistics of the enor-
nous surplus of grain and meats which
the West sends to the East it is easy to
believe that the half has not been told.
Yet 1t is a fact that the Western con-
sumner often pays more than his Eastern
relations for some things of which he
supplies the raw meterial. For in
stance, the Leavenworth tKansas)
Times says:
Il isa curious fact that IN this part
of the country the prices at the butcher
shops of pork, beef and poultry always
remain about the same, while the cost
ofraising stock and the price received
by farmers fiuctuate greatly. Just now
farmers are receiving from So 75 to SO
per hundred weight for hogs. Before
this time next year many Of these same
men, if we can judge the future by the
past, will be paying from twelve to
fifteen cents per pound for this kind Of
meat.
Such revelations enable people to
understand why Western fairmerssonc-
times complain ofhard times. N. y.

Gen. Walthall, who succeeds Secretary La

up In knowledge of Democratic precedent
and principles for what many of the other
new senators lack. Senator Harris, Of Ten
nessee, who received the complimentary
nomination by the Democrats for the presi-
dency of the senate, is the authority on ques-
tons of rules and parliamentary precedents
He was first elected to congress thirty-six
years ago, so has undoubtedly had time enough
to learn it all He does not care to mention
his age, though he must be about 20. He is
not at all selfish in keeping the knowledge he
has gained in those years 1t has become his
hobby, SO that whenever he rises to speak
the senators well know they are about to re-
ceive lesson in parliamentary precedent or
etiquette

the senate Though 62 years of age. Senator
