STATEMENT.

TINE undersigned, Committee of Di-
l. rectors of the Equitable Life As.
surancc 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, 81 dowment and Tontine DO.
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-The premiums on Tontine po-
icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only nav.
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 a
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 DO.
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.
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 incontestable after three years, and
III la i'm, tot oft L.,
| death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.
| tally is lower among Tontine policy.
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is q 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 appoltioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,75O,OOO larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $60,0OO,OoO; over $14 ,OOO,-
900 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

HOrsef1esh as Food.

A writer in the New York Sun saws: It
will probably be news to many Americans
who have lived in Paris that they have I'M
knowingly often eaten horsefesh at some
of the minor restaurants. In 1888 over
$4,000 horses, mules and donkeys were
slaughtered for food there and sold for
about the price of beef. This accounts
fer the modest prices prevailing in the
cheap builons. 1t is claimed that the Gus
tom tends to the improvement of the
horse. One point may certainly be grant
ed. that worn out jade is now got in con-
dition for the meat market and is put TO
death in a much less cruel fashion than
formerly. In former years the govern
ment made many efforts to stop the sale
of horseflesh, and immense quantities of
it were seized at different times, but it is
now viewed as having become a reces-
sity. In any case, there are so duly H.
censed horse butchers in Paris at the pres
ent moment. The first efforts to put q
stop to the practice of eating horselesh
can be traced as far back As 1889. Dur

One Way to Make Coffee.

Some one writes to the New York Times
that this is the best way to make coffee
Buy the best coffee and grind it to the con-
sistencv of ordinary corn meal. Into a
French teapot put an ounce of coffee for
every person. One pound of coffee will
make l6 cups. and no more. Have every
thing clean, and as soon as the water in
the tea-kettle begins to boil. moisted the
coffee gently, and leave it to soak and
swell for three minutes; then add a little
more water; don't be in hurry; continue
to add water until you have obtained not
more than a large coffee cupful of the ex-
tract If carefully done, the entire virtue
of the coffee will be in the cupful of
liquor at the end of five minutes. For
four persons use quart of pure milk. and
have ii piping hot; heat the large cups by
pouring into them hot water; now divide
the coffee into the four cups, each of which
will be one-quarter full; filfwith the boil
ing milk.

Table Manners.

A part of table manners should be the
conversation. BY mutual consent every
one should bring only the best that is in
him to the table. There should be the
greatest care taken in the family circle to
talk OF only agreeable topics at meals
The mutual forbearance which prompts
the neat dress, the respectful bearing, the
delicate habit of eating, the attention to
table etiquette, should also make the mind
put on its best dress. and the effort Of any
one at meal should be to make himself
or herself as agreeable as possible No
one should show any haste in being helped,
any displeasure at being left until the last.
1t is always proper at an informal meal to
ask Tor a second cut, to say that rare or
underdone beef is more to your taste than
the more cooked portions. But one never
asks twice for soup or fish; one is rarely
helped twice at dessert These dishes.
also salad. are supposed to admit of but
enc helping.

ing the revolution. however. almost the
whole of Paris lived on horseflesh, while
during the last Franco -Prussian war.
horseflesh was considered delicacy. The
writer remembers having eaten once at
the Quarter Latin a students dinner en-
tirely composed of horsetlesh. The STU
dents tried it as an experiment, which
thanks to good seasoning and good appe
tite. proved great success. 1t is no ex-
aggeration to say that in almost all the
cheaper restaurants horsef1esh enters con-
stantly into the preparation of soups and
stews, and that in MANY of them roast
horse. OF course you cannot easily find
out what you are eating in the potages
and ragouts. But the horse roast beef al
WAYS betrays itself as horseflesh when
roasted. shows no fiber. and looks more
like liver than like beef, and often has
those little round holes which everybody
knows who has ever eaten coarsely baked
and tough beet liver.

Small FlOcks.

An idea which is fast gaining ground
with practical sheep men is that small
flocks-comparativel small ones-are the
most profitable. The popular notion. in
the range countries at least, used to be
that the larger the flock, the greater the
profits. This idea is fast being dissipated
and the days of handling sheep by the
tens of thousands is numbered, even on
the plains Of Texas. Certain kinds OF
sheep do better than others in flocks OF
several thousands. but it is a fact which
experience has demonstrated that there is
no kind of sheep which Will thrive as
well in large flock as in "A small one. In
these huge bands of sheep vast number
die, and vast number are left, and none
receive the attention which common econ
omv demands. 1t may pay in one sense
to have one man attend sheep two men
could not properly see to, bat it pays in
no other way and it must be remembered
that the item Of expense involved in the
wages of the man who attends the flock s
is one which is either the largest or small
est in the business, for the profit or loss
of the flock depends more on him than
upon the man who furnishes the money
and attends to the financial management.
In a general way it may be set down as
tact that to attempt economy in the pay
OF the man or men who look after the
sheep every day. is to turn what should
be profit into loss. for men of experience
know that the sheep herder who pretends
TO work tor the least pay is generally the
most expensive individual that could be
engaged.
The sheep raiser of the present time
seems to think he is beset with an unusual
number of hardships. and so he has a
great deal to contend with in order to
make his business Success, but
the hardships are simply incident to the
competition and close figuring of the times.
With careful attention and an applica-
ton of judicious business management,
sheep and wool growing can be made to
pay as well and better than in the good
old times" about which men are prone to
talk Sheep Breeder and Wool Grower.

Wives as Companions.

1t has become the fashion to talk of
girls, as at present brought up, as more
ornamental than useful. Old bachelors
occasionally indulge in TRADES against
women's ignorance of housekeeping. If
these lay sermons are correct, the only
mission of wife is to bake and sweep
and sew. Now we do not understand the
of such requirements. A girl
has no right to marry poor man if she is
entirely ignorant of household matters,
and most Young men in this country are
comparatively poor. and have their own
fortune to make for themselves. But to
be ignorant OF household affairs is one
thing-to be drudge, or upper servant, is
another We have too often seen lively.
pretty girl, after few years of marriage,
sink into a listless, careworn matron. A
wife should be something above a mere
mental. She ought to be a ''helpmate.
and no wife can be that, in the higher
sense of the term, unless she is CON-
panion. MANY an otherwise excellent
woman. perfect in the ordering of her
| household, and capable. when necessary,
OF working heartily herself, drives heI
| husband to the company of pothouse
companions because she is no com
panion for him. We do not say that a
Doctors wife should study medicine, or a
lawyers wife study law, or mechanic:
wife should learn his trade. in order TO be-
come companion to her husband. This
/ is not what we mean. But every man
even the most illiterate, has his peculiar
tastes and sympathies; and it should be
the business Of wife to discover them, to
! interest herself in them, and to be able tc
talk approximately about them.
The poorer a couple are, unless in the
case OF actual day -laborers, the more they
are thrown together. and the more neec
there is of this companionship. With the
very rich, society occupies much of the
time OF the wife, if not of the husband
and there is, perhaps, less absolute neec
of this companionship. But even with
the very rich, capacity for companion
ship would add greatly to the mutual hap
piness of husband and wife, and often pre-
vent sad family tragedies. Wives. neg
lect not your household duties, but bt
something more than mere housekeeper
