The color of the new American rose
Souvenir de Wootton is said to be nearly
that of the Jacq, with an exquisite odor.
1t is q perpetual bloomer. 1t is a Vigor-

six inches in diameter. Pity that any
American rose of value should carry q
French name.

Liberal Concessions

Alta meeting of the Board of Directors OF
the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company
held on the 26th of February, 1889, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted;
THAT all policies heretofore issued by thi.
company, upon which three full years
premiums have been paid, shall not be con
testable on the ground of self-destruction
and provision in the policy to the contrary
notwithstanding, provided the premium next
hereafter aecruing shalt be paid when due
That any policy issued before the first
day of April, A. d., 1887, which, by its
terms in wholly forfeited for non-payme
of premium when due, shall, upon payment
of premium next hereafter becoming due, be
entitled to the benefit of the Maine Non-for-
fixture Law, precisely as if the policy
so provided
From the foregoing it will be seen thai
concessions of very liberal character have
been made TO that large section of the Com
pany's policy holders, whose policies-issued
in the Majority of cases many years ago do
not contain those liberal and equitable pro
visions which are to be found in policies now
now issued.
1t would appear that in the matter of lib
crafty of insurance contracts the utmos
limit has been reached. and it is AS crafty
ing to the management of the Union Mutua
to be in position to accord their old patron
these features without extra charge, as i
will be to the policy holders to receive sucl
distinct advantages.
That the Maine law benefit is no chimer;
is to be seen by the fact that the Union Nut
ual Life Insurance Company has paid NOR,
than a quarter of million dollars upon pol
ices that have lapsed and which in the alb
sence of such Nom forfeiture Law woal,
have been of little and probably of no value

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is probable that
everyone, without exception, receives vast
numbers Of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throst and II allowed to continue their
rsvages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head, causing Ca
tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and If al
Logged to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset yya must act with promptn ess !;
allowing cold to so without attention is
dangerous and may lose you your life. As
soon as you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
bottle of Boschee's German Syrnp. 1t will
give you immediate relief.

The note given below from one ssof thu
regular correspondents of the Journal. en-
bodies the observations Of shrewd man Of
Affairs. resident Of Waldo county, Who hal
lately visited the Maine capital and looked
in upon both branches of the Legislature
while 10 session -
1t 10 frequently alleged that the two houses
composing the Maine legislature are inferior
bodies Of men, lacking in dignity and com.
handing less respect than similar bodies
elsewhere. As loyal resident Of the Pine
Tree State We feel this to be an sspersiou
upon the character and intelligence Of our
people Happening in the good city of Au-
gusta recently we rbetook our way to the
Capitol, there to settle in our own mind the
truth of the above charge.
In both branches we founi business being
rapidly pushed and more or less noise and
hustle consequent of the closing days of the
session OF course il was not q good
time to judge of the character
Of the ls2i Stature. In the House there we're
CON u stiveiy few ugly appearing men, many
good locking ones and all possessing the
stamp Of intelligence and character. There
are many fne speakers in this branch, notA-
bly, among them being Messrs- Stearns,
Looney and Maiigan. Judge Stearns is IN
doubtedly the most powerful speaker in this
body and is full of dramatic power. In the
Senate we were particularly imprs ssed with
the ease and facility exhibited by President
Lord in the discharge of his duties and the
general good order and dignihed bearing OF
the Senators, marred only by the want OF
legislative decorum on the part of single
Senator in permitting the lofty aspirations OF
his pedal extremities to make footstool OF
his desk during session hours.
We have watched legislative work in the
State Houses Of Albany and Boston, and
conclude that the Maine legislature compares
favorably with those Assemblies in every
particular save one, that Of dress. More
rich broadcloths and silk hats are seen in
those bodies than in ours. There are plenty
of good speakers in the Maine Senate and
numerous level headed veterans in whose
hands the affairs of State can safely rest"
