LIFE INSURANCE.
The Holders Of Policies safe From Cred
itors' Claims.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has rendered an opinion Of unusual
interest to holders Of life insurance pol
icies. Thomas L Hume, of the District
Of Columbia, died in 1881 totally insolv-
ent, but leaving $35, 600 life Insurance
policies, payable either to his
widow or children. The admins
traitors and creditors of Hume's
estate sought to force application Of the
proceeds of the policies to the payment
of the delts due to the creditors, on the
ground that the premiums paid by Hume
were fraudulent transfer of an insol-
vents estate and void as against credi.
tors, and that consequently the proceeds
Of the policies should inure to the benefit
of the Hume estate and not to
the benehciaries named in the
policies. The Supreme Court holds
that the beneiciaries are en-
titled to the proceeds of al the policies
without any deduction whatever on ac-
count OF premiums paid, holding that a
husband and father has full right TO I'M
sure his life in the interest Of his wife
and children, and that where such poll
cies are effected ia the name Of the bene-
iiciaries they are no part of the estate Of
a deceased insolvent and therefore can.

Though Americans have no court and

A fruit-grower in Maine was in the
habit of having his boy climb the apple
trees to destroy the tent caterpillars as
soon as they had appeared, but for some
time he failed to secure them all. A little
investigation showed him that they fed in
the middle of the forenoon and the middle
Of the afternoon. By gathering the nests
early in the morning and late in the even.
ing efYectual work was done.
Three years after the landing of the
English colonists At jamestown, Va, the
first importation of cattle occurred. They
were a bull and four cows.
A New Yorker sold last year $3.50 worth
Of wool and lambs from lis sheep.
The melon crop in Georgia has been
greater than the facilities for transporting
to market, on which account many melons
have persisted in the fields.
The best two-year-old trotting record in
Iowa was made at Keokuk recently by

Considerable of the work Of pruning

the trees and rubbing of all the shoots and

they are not wanted. This ought to be

Farms always sell most readily, and at
the highest prices, where roads are kept IN
