GOING OOURTING.

Most people enjoy courtship. It is like q free. for.al circus ring. with animals but asses. and lots of clowns.
 As rule it is simply matter of like or dislike. Sometimes beauty is the consideration. Sometimes money. Sometimes love. Common sense, Never.
 At least, not often. If John is fond of Mary fonder than he is of Susie-that settles it. They spoon and blink and hug and make egregious asses of themselves for some weeks, months or years. and then get married.
 They never stop to think whether they are of compatible temperaments, or whether physically fit to marry. They Ego it blind.'' They SOW the wind and after reap the whirlwind.
 John Smith, whose ancestors have been consump- tive for generations, marries Sadie Pink, whose cestors have died of Paralysis, Brain Fever. have had Epilepsy St. Vitus' Dance, etc., for years out of mind. The taint is in both systems.
 Will their children be healthyf Will they have lung troubles and brain and nerve diseases? Can they help it? No! And yet these people are sur prised that their children sickly or die early.
 Before you begin to think of marriage think of your health. Be sure you are it for it. Use Ma ture's great restorative, Scotch Oats Essence and get yourself well, strong and vigorous. Scotch Oats Essence will heal brain and nerve and lung and give vigor, strength and extra vitality to both man and maid.

MASONIC INSURANCE.

Large Returns for Small Investments.
 The late Mrs. Sarah J. Smith, wife of Gen. Stephen R. Smith, had been a member of the Masonic Protective society for the past eight years at cost of only twenty-six dollars. The amount of money to be paid her bene- fciary will be S341.
 Three hundred and forty dollars has just been paid the beneficiary of the late Mrs. Ernest Klenke, who was @ member of the same society. The claim was cashed immedi- ately on presentation and some two months before it was due. This society has always been very prompt in settlement of all death claims, and, quite unlike some other benefit associations, never drops 8 member from it's rolls until it is known for certainty that the member wishes of his or her own accord to cease payment and thereby withdraw from the society. Thus it is of rare occurrence that members name is stricken from the roll except by death cause

 The Cheshire Academy Alunmi Associ. attOn Reunion ana Dinner at New
 York.
 The Alumni association of the Episcopal academy of Connecticut at Cheshire cele- brated it's tenth anniversary most successful ly Wednesday evening by dinner at Morrel- lis in New York. The association has held annual reunions since it's organization, but the dinner of Wednesday night was on q much more elaborate scale than anything it has before attempted. A distinct element of success was the bringing together of gradu- ates from all parts of the country. About seventy-fve were present in all, and among them were the Rev. J. F. Sexton, Professor A. w. Phillips of Yale, formerly head mas ter of the academy; De Lancey Niooll, C.. M. Goddard, Dr. N. O. Cornwall, the Joseph B. Beach, the Rev.. s. J. Horton, for twenty y-seven years principal of the academy; George A. Tomlinson, John H. Hall, of Portland, Conn.,; the Rev. B. l.. Sanford, of Northport; the Rev. R. s. Car lin, Dr. W. K. Simpson, James Rogers, E. Treat Payne, Rowland A. Robbins, F. J. Cogswell, E. Fl. Bogardus, Arthur B. Cook,
 
 professor in Trinity college; the Rev. B. s. Lines, A. B. Abernethy, R. o. Faber and Dr. J. w. Lyman. 0. La Rue Munson presided and called for order soon after 10 o'clock. He said that every one in the room could be glad that he was graduate of the academy.
 Professor Phillips gave few "reminiscences of the years when he was head master of the academy, which seemed to appeal strongly to the memories of his old pupils who were pre- sent. The Rev. E. Lines spoke and then Dr. Horton. The latter congratulated himself that the outburst of enthusiasm for the old academy expressed by this gathering had come in his tims. The course of instruction in the school had been much improved, he said, in the twenty-sevep years that he had been principal, and it's object was to raise up men faithful to church and loyal to the State. There were also speeches by W. F. Booth, c. N. Goddard, William F. Reynolds and De Lancey Nicoll.
 Among those present from New Haven were GeorgeT T. Doolittle, M. D., John J. Os- borne, Wilbur F. Booth of Yale Law rehool, 0. M Hemingway and w. M Hale.

 An order has been posted at Winchestsr's armory which reads that on and after Mon. day next all the employees will be required to go to work at o'clock in the morning and not quit until in the evening, making twelve hours work instead of ten.
