The Connecticut Mutual.

Attention IS called TO the magnificent state
ment of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company, published in another column. Col
Greene, President Of the Company. is an active
Grand Army man and well known throughout
the Union.
The figures shown by the Company are of
the most satisfactory kind. The assets show
gain Of nearly million over the figures of the
preceding year, reaching the great total Of
S53, go BY the Company's standard their
surplus reaches 1863, ,997 BY the New York
standard this would be more than 100000 in
addition. During the fiscal year the total in
come was S1G5l ,2l3: of which rs per cent, or
in round numbers 81, ,o2i ,5S4, was returned to
policy holders for death claims. endowmemts,
dividends and surrender values. The economi-
cal management OF the Company, feature TO
which prudent policy holders generally LOOK,
Is shown by tho fact that the ratio OF expenses
TO receipts was only 8 93 100 per cent. The total
of policies reaching 81, 995 now in force insures
the aggregate of $l5l ,30l, ,5S3.
IN looking at the figures shown by this an
nual exhibit we are impressed with the general
excellence of the management and the business
like way in which all the details Of the admin
istration have been handled. This is specially
SO in apalyzing those figures showing the real
estate transactions. Loans have only been
made on the soundest property, and there has
been an actual gain Of 5000, 900 realized on the
Company's investments. 1t is safe to say that
a Company managed in this prudent fashion
commepds itself most invitingly to those who
desire 10 insure the future Of their families

this characteristic is of those most likely be

that few generations hence adult Americans with
hair on their pates will be rare. The excessive

chief cause of this badness; but Il medical au-
thority advises against wearing the hat contnu-

time of an unventilated hat.

As To Washing Lace Curtains.

One thing that l always wanted when came
to have home of my own was lace curtains.
No one in our village had them except the
minister's wife, but she was one of the best
OF housekecpers, and the most attractive spot
in her house was the windows that were hung
with those curtains, which / admired quite as
much as ] did the parsons necktie. | told
John before we were married, that when he
was fitting up our house, ! wanted the cur
tains-real nice ones in the parlor and sitting
room, and cheaper ones up stairS-and he in
cluded them with other items. | also told
Aunt Rhoda, and she shook her head. "No,
no." she said sagely, don't have such things.
You never can wash them in the world" "Do
you know" she said, that they will be ruined
all TO pieces, and that to send them TO the
laundry twice a year will cost everything?"
But John bought them, and | enjoyed them.
However, as the Summer passed l began to
dread the washing, especially when the laun-
drymau showed me his prices, which were
enormous interest on first cost. ! took the
dilemma by the horns, and after careful think
ing, ! resolved that a lace curtain was no more
TO wash than lace collar. And it isn't. /

AFTER THE PRIZE MONEY.
The Veterans Who Fought Under Farrasut Decide
TO Press their Claim.

The survivors. of the Farragut fleet in
tend pushing their claim against the Gov
ernment for prize money for the capture of
New Orleans in 1869. Several installments
have been paid, leaving hlance yet to be paid
of S292, 1922 On April "a, 1862, tie two fleets
came together on the Mississippi, and after a
hot fight. which lasted four hours, the enemy
was repulsed, Notwithstanding that they had
16 ironclads.
To prove the superiority of the enemy in
ships and armament was what was needed on
which to base the claim and this Admiral Far
ragut did on March ), 1869. The claim was for
head money" which means that if the vessels
were destroyed and were superior in every re-
spect, the victors are entitled to 5000 for each
man on board the vessels destroyed. When
the ease was taken into court, Attorney General
Williams, who was serving under Grant. denied
the claim, and committee was appointed to
examine into the merits of the case. The report
embodied these points:
First. We find that the capture was not a
conioint operation of the Army and Navy Of
the United States.
Second. That 40 vessels, whose names are
given. participated in the capture.
Third. That % vessels were captured, and
five vessels of war in process of construction,
and 5000 tons of coal.
Fourth. That the value of these vessels, the
coal and the unfinished vessels aggregates
$3.50, l20.
Fifth. That all the property was lawful prize
Of war; and lawfully subject TO condemnation
as such.
Sixth. That in the engagement which re-
suited in the capture Of these ships the entire
force of the enemy was superior to the force of
the United States ships engaged. We, there
fore, allow the captors the value of the vessels
and $4,000 salvage due thereon, making a
total of 81 ,0l2120.
When this report was made on May o. 1873,
the counsel for the Government filed an appeal.
The first instalment paid was $500, ,520 and
the second $4,000, while the court expenses
amounted to $l42,il1. This amount for court
expenses the Government wants to deduct from
the balance now remaining. The veterans

A New Rifle,

The new repeating rifle with which the
Austro- Hungarian infantry is to be armed has,
the London Standards correspondent at Pesth
says, been tested during the past three months
by five battalions and found to be excellent in
every way, and altogether superior to the
French repeating rifle. The correspondent had
an opportunity of handling one of these weap-
Ons and he says the chief point seems to be the
wonderfully simple manner in which, by means
of spiral springs, the cartridges are pushed for
ward and the empty eases thrown out. One
pressure on the crank places five cartridges
ready for firing, and another turn elects five
empty cartridge cases. five fresh cartridges
being simultaneously placed in the magazine.
