INSURANCE LOSSES.

1t is estimated by insurance COM
panies that in the United States last
year dwelling houses were burned at
the rate of one every hour, with ar.
average loss of 1896. Barns and
stables, fifty per week. Country
stores, three per day, with loss of
$4,000 per week. Ten hotels burn
weekly, with a loss per year of $4,-
100000. Every other day lumber
yard goes up in smoke, each repre-
senting $4,000. Forty-four cotton
factories, the loss in each case being
5000; forty-three wooden mills at
S25, 900 each, and forty-two chemical
works at $27 900 each, were destroy
ed by fire last year. Forty-two boot
and shoe factories were consumed,
the loss being $4,000 each. Thea
tres were Tapped up by the flames at
the rate of five per month, average

GLASS FLOORING.

The substitution of glass flooring
for boards continues to increase in
Paris, this being especially the case
in those business structures in which
the cellars are used as offices. At
the bank Of the Credit Lyonnias, the
whole of the ground in front is paved
with large squares of roughened
glass embedded in a strong iron
frame, and in the cellars beneath
there is sufficient light, even on dull
days, to enable clerks to work with
out gas. The large central hall at
the offices Of the Compton DIES
compile has also been provided with
this kind of flooring; and, although
its prime cost is considerably greater
than that of boards, glass is in the
long run far cheaper, owing to its al
most unlimited durability.

MEN DRESSED AS WOMEN.

Detective Desmond in Globe Democrat.
Women's clothes make the most
foolish disguise in the world for n
man to assume when he wants to
make success of concealing his iden-
tity, for there is not any man living
capable of counterfeiting a woman's
walk sufficiently we'll to deceive an
ordinary student of human nature.
There is swing and a peculiar step
to even the most masculine of women
that the wearer of pantaloons can not
duplicate. Just look at the female
impersonators on the stage; their
walk gives them away at once, despite
their high-heeled shoes and a certain
atroclous wiggle that they acquire in
learning their art. 1t was his walk
that betrayed express robber Page
last Tuesday, when he was passing
from the cars to meal station din
ing-room. | cannot exactly explain
the difference between a woman's
walk and mans but you will be
able to appreciate it when you hear
this story. A French detective was
after an important criminal, whom
he knew to be disguised as a female.
He followed his trail closely until he
located him in certain railway car.
That car was crowded with women.
and, after studying over some scheme
for finding his man, he took an apple
and tossed it to party in crinoline
whom he strongly suspected of being
the criminal. The ruse succeeded.
The party saw the apple coming and
put up his hands and brought his
legs together so as to have a double
chance of catching the fruit. That
settled him. The detective followed
the direction of the apple, and put
ting his hand on his shoulder said:
You're my prisoner" You see, if
1T had been woman, instead of bring
ing the knees together at such time,
as man always does, she would have
spread her knees apart so as to catch
the apple.

CURED BY CHANCE OF DIET.

The Tammany boss, John Kelly,
has been miraculously restored to
health. The doctors were killing
him on low diet, alleged to be good
for Bright's disease, dyspepsia and
general moral wreck which were sup
posed to be affecting him but slip
ping away from his nurses the other
day, he lunched on salt mackerel
and ginger ale, and began to improve
at once; mutton chops, mackerel and
ginger ale, with dumb bells and
round with gloves with his son, who
has taken the place of the doctor, are
said to be putting the sachem all right
again.

An exchange heads an article,
"What is SANDER 2" 1t is the offal
OF society on which the buzz
yards feed; it is the currency of the
corrupt, who desire to drag others
down to their level, and besmirch
the world with their foul breath; it
is the light foam that seethes up
from the depths of hell to blacken
reputation and destroy character.
Those who deal in it are worse than
thieves and meaner than murderers.
They are the Gains of society, who
slip up behind their bretheren and
murder them unawares.

The cost of making cotton is thus
given by Commissioner Henderson:
Cost Of land, fencing and planting,
cultivating and all other expenses
per acre, S14; less value of seed, So;
average yield per acre, $50 pounds.
To make the average planter whole
on expenses he should not get less
than 8 cents per pound. And yet
two thirds of the crop sells for less,
while the expense of supplies on the
advancing plan has added not less
than 50 per cent. to the above esti-
mate cash cost of production. Is it
any wonder that all who grow cotton
without making their own provisions,
fail.

Cotton is the money crop of the
South, and there is money to be made
in its culture when farm work is con-
Quoted on a cash basis but the farmer
who has to make it on a promise to
pay is laboring not for himself, but
for another-for the man who holds
the lien on which his supplies were
furnised.-Brmswick Appeal.
Well, if the farmer prefers to make
somebody else rich and not himself,
whose business is it?

That spiritual life which makes
beautiful the garden Of the heart is a
plant of slow growth. 1t begins in
littleness and weakness, and advances
step by step. Ones spiritual life
never attains full growth upon earth.
There is always something more to
learn, something further to do. There
is no limit to its progress. Further
growth and expansion are always
possible. This spiritual life is also
a journey, and he who makes it can
not be hurried. AS some writer has
expressed it: "He has combats to
wage, he has temptations to undergo,
and he has truths to be wrought into
his life, all of which require not only
time for their own progressions, but
maturity of growth, and the full de-
velopment of manhood's thought and
Affection for their accomplishment. :"

AN HONEST COLORED MAN.

Previous to the war colored man,
now living in Norfolk, and then a
slave, purchased his freedom from
his owner, agreeing to give 81, 300
for the chattel property. When
President Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation was issued the former
slave had paid $500 Of his indebted
ness, and since that time, by his dali
ly labor, he has accumulated, dollar
by dollar, and paid over to his form
er owner the remaining $500, and
now is freeman indeed. The sense
of honor was stronger in his mind
than the law of the United States by
which he was manumitted, and he
set an example followed by few. His
name, which deserves to be recorded
everywhere, is John Billups.

A HUMAN WOLF.

''Bill Ridley is a wolf" said old
Judge Bicknell.
'Why do you think so p some one
asked.
"Well, tell you. Some time ago,
a roughly dressed man with bushy
red whiskerS rode up to my house
and wanted to sell me horse, lean
animal, but one in which | saw many
fine points. The fellow said he was
in such need of money that he would
take twenty dollars for the animal.
l gave him the money and took the
horse. The animal fattened rapidly.
| found him equally serviceable in
shafts or under the saddle. One
day, shortly after the animal had de-
veloped into as fine horse as | had
ever seen, Bill Ridley came along and
claimed him. He brought forward
sufficient evidence to establish his
claim and of course | gave up the
horse, thereby losing my twenty dol
lars besides losing the time | had
spent in working with him."
81 don'tsee how you can blame Rid
ley"
"You don't then l will show you.
The scoundred wanted his horse tat
tened but was too stingy to spend
money for corn, so he disguised him
self, sold me his own horse, then,
after the horse was fat came back and
claimed him. Yes, Billy is a wolf.

The champion hog that was killed
in Rhinebeck the other day in the
presence of 5000 persons, for weeks
before his death had to be fed with
spoon. He was so fat that he could
not feed himself, and so small boy

boy had no sinecure, for the hog ate
half a barrel of swill daily, but the

matter of history that the veto was
most literally exercised towards
those measures, in the line of pro.
gressive and enlightened civilization,
introduced and advocated by inde-
pendent members. This was, of
course, calculated to impress upon
Independent members and their con-
stituents that 1.-THE King was the
larger part of the Legislature. The
Representative and Mobiles are sup
posed to originate and pass laws, but
in last session, the functions of
majority of the members were very
perceptihly restricted to the passage
oi laws OF rctrogradc character,
and which had not been enacted two
wears before because the people
formed too large part OF the Legis-
latHre, at that time.
The session OF 1886, in which
''Jhe King was the larger part of the
Legislature" has left n disgraceful
record for the future historian of
Hawaii Not only is this the case,
hut 1t cannot fail 10 invite contempt
and yidicule from abroad, an ahund-
ance OF which it has already secured
at home; the essential difference
being that persons abroad can enjoy
their cacchinationS at our expense.
while at home the laugh will be on
the wrong side of the face of the
taxpayers who have to foot up the
four and half millions.
\ diSlocated cabinet is but the
necessary complement of dislocated
laws. and the oliarchical tripod upon
which the presnt administration
stands is evidently kept in position
until the programme of misrule
opened 10y the Legislature is carried
out. A full cabinet with micro
scopic quantity of ability and integ-
rity might be expected to sit down
on some OF the most Objectionable
schemes on hand; but as the signs
| of the times have been pointing
there is little reason to hope that
even an all round change of Minis
ters and the instalment of 4 new and
complete cabinet will bring any
change for the better. The all i'm
portant fact to which the eyes of
the executive seem to be closed
is that laws are weapons which may
be welded both ways, and if the
laws relating to the Interior Depart
ment may be left to administer
themselves while the Minister is
playing the role of Attorney-Gene-
raj, and the Attorney-General's De-
partment is blank during the At
torney-General's incumbency of the
Interior Office, the taxpayers may
suddenly awake to the practicability
of sitting down on the one percent
taxation act. For it is reasonable
to assume that if the Kings Minis
ters occupy positions outside the
statute book, the Taxpayers are en-
titled TO claim for themselves the
like privileges and exemptions. The
constitution and laws form the only
, fence erected between the Executive
, and anarchy, and the Executive is
q using the utmost possible diligence
q in throwing it down.
