STATEMENT.

FVNHE undersigned, Committee of Di-
II 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, rcport:-
1st-The Society issues all the approx.
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontinc po-
licics. 1t is immatcrial 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-The premiums on n Tontinc po-
icy are the same as on the Ordinary
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.
INFLATED profits IN cash at the end of II
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-Expcrience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontin6 pc.
lcies approximate 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-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontcstable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
Gth-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-Tontinc 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.

the BENEFITS OF FRUIT.

Among the most admirable of the
characteristics of an advancing civil
lization seems to be a tendency to
demand fruit in ever-increasing
quantities. This is shown by the
speed with which the enormous sup
plies now poured into the market are
disposed of. In the United States
ingenious physicians have adopted a
plan of curing inebriety, which de-
ponds largely upon the adoption of
a fruit diet. The grape-cure
has, of course, long been known in
Europe as pleasant and efiicacious
way of treating certain ailments
and the salts and other chemical in
gradients contained in fruit are
found to act as substitute for al
coholic liquor, and, also, it is said,
as a remedy for the drink craving.
However that may be, it is an I'M
doubted fact that an increasing num-
Der of individuals, not being drunk
ards, do in this country, as every
summer comes round, adopt of their
own free choice the fruit-cure for
thirst. In every age and in every
country the natural love for fruits
which has been implanted in the hui
man breast has been strikinsly ex-
emplified in the imagery of the celes-
tial regions. AS a refresher and q
blood-purifier fruit stands unrivalled,
and the only precaution which need
be inculcated is to beware of that
which is unsound. Barring misad-
venture, however, fruit harvest is
generally sure to be q profitable
speculation; and, as it enriches the
growers, so, or in even greater meas
ure, it is certain to benefit the con-
sumers.-Lon0on Ielegr phi.

Last Wednesday while Sheriff Miller
was at the depot waiting for the East

ness that failed to appear at court, he
noticed a suspicious looking character
on the platform and overheard him adj
dressed as Wolf. He remembered re-
ceiving a postal card over year ago
from Osborne county, this State, asking
for the arrest of a man by that name,
charged with stealing a horse. The
mans uneasy actions and from the de-
scription of the card he at once arrested
him and telegraphed to the Sheriff at
Osborne. The man made quick spring
for liberty few minutes after being in
the Sheriff. office, but was caught be-
fore reaching the door. On the follow
ing cay an officer from Osborne county
came down and recognized the prisoner
as the man they wanted and took him
back on the next train.
