Cooleyis Weekly never lies, but "aR old hnnter," upon whom it fathers the follow ing, may never have seen hatchet or a cherry tree: "A hound, you know, never sees anything but the ground beneath his nose. He just scoots along. nose down. One remarkably clever trick fox may play when it gets chance is to take to g railroad track, especially if a train IS com ing. He runs along the track ahead of an approaching train, but not as fast as he can. He tries to let the dog overtake him. As in other cases the dog sees nothing. When the fox has come within few rods of the train, he sits down and lets the dog come up. Just as they are about to be struck down, the fox jumps to one side and the dog gets killed"

An insurance deal of questionable char acter is reported by the Hartford Courant the rumored sale of majority of the Phoe- nix mutual life insurance company of that city to Philadelphia parties for the enorm- ous price of $1 ,0OO for each $10O of stock. The president of the company, A. 0. Good man, holds $50, 100 of the total of $100, 900, or bare majority, and it is stated that he has sold this holding and the controlling interest, without the knowledge of any other director or policy-holder, for $501, ,- GOO. The concern has assets of over 3D. 1000, and better still for the alleged purchasers, cash in bank to the amount of over $625, ,OOO. A controlling interest could lay its hands upon this sum and make good to themselves the cost of the deal and the minority might whistle over the declining values of their holdings and gutted treasury. The Courant says :-
 The Phoenix mutual, while nominally a mutual company, is controlled by a capital stock of $1OO, ,OO0, and so it's $10, ,6O0, ,00O of assets are really subject to the action of the owner of $50, 100 of the stock. It has paid annual dividends of "A per cent, which, if regularly maintained, might justify valua- ton of about 400, though it is taxable stock and would not yield per cent. at that price. HOW lt can pc WOltn l,VOV to purcuaSers WAo propose conducting the insurance business it is difficult to determine.
 Tie stock never sold above 300, and stands Ion the tax-Ests at 220; purchase at ,0OC therefore looks doubtful. In case the re. port proves true, the policy holders or mi nority stockholders will be obliged to re. sort to the courts or the legislature to de termine whether they have any rights ir the matter or protection from the one-mar

the most important points, but in the minds of naval officers, and a large DOT tion of the people, little dependence for defense was to be placed upon these. As to the ability of the war syndicate to prevent invasion or attack by means of Its threats to lombard the blockaded Canadian port, very few believed in it. Even if the syndicate could do any more damage in that quarter, which was inn probable, what was to prevent the British navy from playing the same game, and entering an American seaport, threaten to lombard the place if the syndicate did not immediately run all their queer yes sells high and dry on some convenient beach?
 Afeeling of indignation against the sym dicate had existed in the navy from the time that the war contract had been made, and this feeling increased daily. That the officers and men of the United States navy should be penned up in harbors, ports and sounds, while British ships and the hulking mine springers and rudder pinchers of the syndicate were allowed to roam the ocean at will, was very uAKu 1O1 ooAAOAo " OSeAA' Sometimes the resentments against this state of affairs rose almost to revolt.
 The great naval preparations of Eng land were not yet complete, but single British men-of-war were now frequently seen off the Atlantic coast of the United States. No American vessels had been captured by these since the message of the syndicate to the Dominion of Canada and the British government. But one good reason for this was the fact that it was very difficult now to find upon the Atlantic ocean vessel sailing under the American flag. As far as possible these had taken refuge in their own ports or in those of neutral countries.
 At the mouth of Delaware bay, behind the great Breakwater, was now collected a number of coastwise sailing vessels and steamers of various classes and sizes; and for the protection of these maritime refugees two vessels of the United States navy were stationed at this point. These were the Lenox and Stockbridge, two of the finest cruisers in the service, and commanded by two of the most restless and bravest officers of the American navy.

The importance of the office of dairy commissioner to the farmers and butter consumers of this state is considerable enough to warrant the manner in which this years report is published. Two years ago MT. Tatem had to print it on single sheet because of insufficient appropriation or lack of interest, or both. Now it comes to the farmers in the fine shape it ought to come, incorporating the statement, as il does, that the oleo law put last year into their pockets $4OO, 900 of additional money. The office hasn't been burden to the state, the prosecutions of MT. Tatem hav- ing secured to the treasury in fines $26 above the amount required to cover all ex. penses, including compensation for his own services.

But he has so far recovered as to be able to walk. He has smoked too much, the doctors say fifteen cigars or more per day.

Even pure coffee can be spoiled in the making. You must have often realized that you got better cup of coffee for five cents in beanery than for three times the price at more aristocratic resort. The crowning sin of coffee makers is the use of a tin pot. The tannin of the coffee acts on the tin, and the result is that the coffee has 8 bluish tinge. Nothing but earthenware should be used in brewing coffee. When made this way it is said to keep good for six weeks.

Boston Advertiser It is true that no Boston negro has asyet been elected presi- dent of Harvard university, chosen repre- sentative to congress, or is minister in any famous pulpit, but as class the negroes of Boston are persons of industry and in- telligence. They compare quite favorably with the whites who are of their own sta tion in life, and from our observation of them, we are certain that under favorable conditions they are capable of worthily performing all the duties of citizenship. It is not question of our, or of any one's opinion. It is fact that locally they do not discredit the hopes of those who be- lieve the best from the future of the negro

Hartford Courant The extent to which money will buy comfort in these days is shown in the excursion on which Wander bilt's son-in-law, W. Seward Webb, start ed Saturday with his family. They have a special train of four cars, equivalent to a four-story house, laid on all level. There are bed rooms, dining room, pariors, etc.
 They are going to travel 10000 miles, and the trip will cost Dr. Webb the little mat ter of $10O, ,0O0. That lies over the Van- derbilt upholstery order of $95,OOO, by $5, 900, and, though it doesn't last so long, there's deal more of fun in it. The trip is to Southern California, and to Alaska, the water journey in a specially chartered swift steamer. But it is to be observed that 95-cents- -a-day switch tender can turn this merry picnic into funeral pro- cession, if he happents to have twenty-five cents worth of alcoholic irresponsibility about his person when the train is due.
