HARTFORD, OoNN., Jan. rs. Insurance
circles here are greatly excited over the
announcement made last night by Dol.
Jacob l.. Gresn, president OF the Con-
neoticut Mutual Life Insurance Company,
that Joseph A. Moore, the general agent
Of the company at indianapolis, was o
defaulter in the sum of 100000.
Moore has assigned to the officers OF
the Mutual Life all of his personal and
real property, which may reduce the loss
TO 100000. Colonel Green says the
standing Of the company will not be i'm
paired by the loss. .--
Moores crooked work has been going
on for long while. He not only appro-
priated money intrusted to him as the
agent OF the company for the payment Of
interest and principal on loans made, but
also the rents collected by him for the
company.
Moore Is prominent and we'll known In

Several Methods of Securing Good Air in
sleeping Rooms.
In ventilating- say bed-room-by
means OF the window, what you prin-
cipally want Is an upward blowing
current. Wen, there are several
methods Of securing this without
danger OF draught:
|. Holes may DO bored In the lower
part OF the upper sash Of the window,
admitting the outside air.
2. Right across the foot OF the lower
cash, but attached to the immovuble
frame Of the window. may be hang or
tackled n piece OF strong Willesden
paper prettily painted with flowers
and birds IL you please, The window
may then be raised TO the extent of the
breadth OF the paper, and tho air
PUSHES upward between the two
sashes.
s. The same effect is got from simply
having "A board six inches wide and tho
exact size OF the sash's breadth Uso
this to hold the window up
L. This same board may have two
bent or elbow tubes In IL, opening
upwards and into the room, SO
that tho air coming through
does not blow directly in. The
inside openings may be protected by
valves, and thus tho amount OF incom-
ing current can be regulated. We thus
get IA circulating movement OF the air,
rs, the window being raised, there is
an opening between the sashes.
3. In the summer frame half as
big rs the lower sash may be made OF
perforated zinc or wire gauze and
placed in go as to keep the window up
There is no draught; and il kept in
position all night, then. ms n rule, tho
inmate will enjoy refreshing sleep.
6. In addition to these plans. the
door OF every bed room should possess
nj ihe top thereof vontilating panel,
the simplest of all being that formed
OF wire gauze.
In conclusion. lot Inc again beg OF
you to value fresh air as you value life
and health itself; and. while taking
care not to sleep in an appreciable
draft. 10 abiure curtains all round the

Elihu Burritt, speaking OF the power
OF kindness, says: There is no power
Of love so hard to get and keep as II
kind voice. A kind hand is deaf and
dumb. 1t may be rough in flesh and
blood, yet do the work OF a soft heart
and do it with soft touch. But there
is no one thing that love so much
needs as a sweet voice TO tell what it
means and feels; and il is hard to get
and keep in the right tone. One must
start in youth, and be on the watch
night and day, at work and play, to
get and keep voice that shall speak
at all times the thoughts OF II kind
heart. 1t is often in youth that one
gets voice or tone that is sharp, and
1t sticks to him through life, and stirs
up ill-will and grief, and falls like a
drop of gall upon the sweet joys OF
home. Watch it day by day as pearl
of great price, forit will be worth more
to you in days to come that the best
pearl hid in the sea. A kind voice is
to the heart what light is to the eye.
1t is light that sings us well as
shines.

No general rule can be given on this
matter that will be applicable to all
parts OF the country and to all kinds
OF land. 1t is generally agreed that
the proper time to break prairie sod is
In the early part OF the summer. The
roots of wild grass can be cut the
easiest at that time and the sod rots
more quickly than II turned in the fall
or spring. Most farmers of long ex-
perience advocate fall breaking for
land that was seeded to timothy and
clover and has produced a crop OF hay
for several years. They hold that
many of the grass roots are dead and
that their decay will be FASTENED II

II the sod is tender, however. being
composed chiefly Of the roots OF clover
and timothy. IL will be best to defer
blowing till a few days before planting

rapidly and the clover and grass, which

During a recent journey in Canada
| met with n striking instance of rea-
son in dog. | was staying at the
Mohawk Indian Institution, Brantford,
Ontario. Rev. X. Ashton. superin.
tendent OF the school, is also incumbent
of the neighboring Mohawk Church
(the oldest Protestant church in Can

companies tho uinety-nine Indian
children to church on Sunday morn

lies down facing the congregation
When they rise to sing he rises. and
when they sit down he lies down. One
day shortly before my visit, stranger
clergyman was preaching, and the SER
mon was longer than usual The dog
grew tired and restless, and at last a
thought occurred to him, upon which
he at once acted. He had observed
that one of the elder Indian boys was
accustomed TO hand round the plate
for aims, after which the service at
once concluded. He evidently thought
that IL he could persuade this boy TO
take up the collection the sermon must
naturally end. He ran down to the
back seat occupied by the boy, seated
himself in the aisle, and gazed stead
lastly in the boys face. Finding that
no notice was taken, he sat up and
begged persistently for some time,
TO Mr.. Ashton's great amusement.
Finally, rs this also failed. the dog put
his nose under the lads knee and tried
with all his strength to force him out
of his place, continuing this at inter-
walls till the sermon was concluded,

great love for his mother remained ever
fresh to the end OF his long life; sis
there not something inexpressibly
touching in the following trait, almost
pathetic in its homely simplicity The
Emperor, who would allow only wax
candles in the White Hall, because they
set off tho beauty and dresses of women
better than gas, burned oil lamps in his
own apartments. He had been staying
on visit with his Marshal OF the Court,
Count Stolberg- Wernigerode, and on
his return to Berlin observed to his
Aide-de-C Camp II la suite, Count Lehn-
dorif, that certainly none OF his lamps
gave half as good light as other
peoples. He was told the reason OF it;
other people burned mineral oil and
he had always refused to do SO. Con-
vinced Mt last, the Emperor allowed all
his lamps to be fitted with new burners,
and when the system of kerosene was
inaugurated one winter day before din
ner he expressed himself vastly pleased
with the experiment. But his Joy was
short lived, for on returning TO his
usual sitting room after the meal he
found IL filed with thick, pestilential
smoke. Summoning his faithful old
valet, Engle, no demanded what it
meant The aide-de-camps knew per-
fectly, but feigncd ignorance. "Your
Majesty" said tho old man, always
turns down the lamp when he leaves

Good Use for Sparrows.

Would it be impossible for someone

to the agricultural cause to induce some
of the royal blood to try a dish of

nice and nearly always wonderfully
slump, as well they may be consider
ing that they have such liking for
the best of corn. If they became a
popular dish like some of the other
smaller birds, which are not half so
nice, then there is no doubt they would
soon become small by degrees and
beautifully less. The bird is, how
ever, too common to be so
well appreciated as it might
be, considering how meaty and
rich of flavor he 10. Sparrow pudding
is dish which has probably never yet
been placed before crowned heads. In
humbler dwellings, however, sparrow
pudding used to be u mo-e frequent
article of diet than it is in tho present
day. Work people are too well off to
trouble much about sparrows. One
chief objection is doubtless the trouble
which exists in getting them ready for
the table. But the process is simple
and easy enough. The skinring system
is the easiest. Let some who are
strangers to the flavor of the birds try
n dish, and | feel confident that the
verdict will be that they are richer in
