Assurance Society

Assurance Society
Because Of its Safety.

because Of its Safety.
Its surplus is larger than that of any
other assurance company.
ll.-Beoause Of its Promptness.
OF l,043 death claims paid in 1885,
nearly one-half were paid the zeyy doy
proofs were received; while of the re-
maindcr, the majority were paid within
the following three days. No other
company can show such record
lll.-Because Of its LiberaIity and
Reforms.
All policies are INCoNTEsTABLE after
three years. All incontestabie policies
are payable Immediately upon receipt
OF proofs of death. The Society's
policy contract Is clear and simple, and
liberal In its conditions. Its MONITOR
feiting Tontine Cor Semi-Tontine) policy
affords all the ultimate benefits of the
full Tontine, and has during its earlier
years the surrender value and other
material advantages of ordinary life
policies.
W.-Profit.
NO other company is paying on its
policies, as large profits as are shown
under the Equilable's matured Tontine
pollcles with fifteen-year periods. Per-
SONS desiring assurance may obtain
estimates OF the probable results of
similar policies, and of policies with
twenty-year terms, which are expected
to show even larger profits.

THE FESTIVE OYSTER.

Some of Their Strangely Interesting and
Wonderful Peculiarities.s
Now that oysters are off-that is,
away on q vacation-some instances Of
the peculiarities of the insects may be
proper to relate.
It is fact that they are lazy and
shell-fish. They make their beds
where the pure waters will lave them,
and never leave these till fOrcibly
assisted therefrom.
As they are apt to grow more she'll
fish while DOING in their beds, so they
become quite grabbed, and acquire q
crusty nature.
When taken from their seaside
resorts, among associations of refined
gentlemen and delicate ladies they
exhibit propensity to get into broils
and stews, which causes these persons
to run them down severely.
The shuckers are foes to the peace
of the oysters. After tussle with
these the bivalves frequently find
themselves in pickle. 1t is war to
the knife between them. Individual
and family ties are ruthlessly sundered.

INTELLIGENT ELEPHANTS.
A Sismess Kings Amusing Story Abou
One Of HIS Pets.


The Siamese, says Forbin, obtain
considerable service from their ele-
plants. They use them almost as do
mestics, and especially for taking care
of children. They take them up with
their trunks and put them to bed and
rock them to sleep, and when mamma
wants them she has only to order the
elephant to go and bring them to her.
Numerous instances which testify to
their intelligence and docility are well
known. Can anyone believe this, which
Siamese King reported of one on
which he was mounted? asks Victor
Meunier in his thrilling ''Great Hunts. !"
ssThis elephant had not long since q
groom who half famished him by de-
priving him of portion of the food al
totted to him. The animal had no other
means of complaining but by his cries.
and made such horrible noise that he
could be heard all through the palace.
Not being able to divine the cause of
his crying so loudly, but suspecting
the real fact, gave him another
groom, who being more faithful and
having given him, without wrong, his
full measure of rice, the elephant
divided it into two parts with his trunk,
and when he had eaten one-half he set
up his cry again, indicating thereby to
all who ran to see what was the matter
the infidelity of the first groom, who ac-
