clear idea of. the modern devil. He says: Were I to make picture of Satan, should make the face and form of an imperiously gracious, magnetic, fascinating, winning gentlemen; of commanding intellect, of courtly presence, of rare attractions. should have nothing repulsive save that indescrib- able seal which hatred of God and good and truth leaves always on the face, not always seen and recognized, and that generally es- oapes the unwary and inexperienced.
 The Sugar trust is soen to be attacked in Massachusetts. Some time ago member of the Massachusetts legislature introduced resolution providing that action should be taken by the attorney general of that State, and now the Committee on Mercantile Affairs has decided that this officer should be in- structed to bring suits against the several corporations. It is probable, therefore, that the courts of Massachusetts will soon be re- quired to pass upon the questions raised in the case of the North River Refining compa- ny. Four of the thirteen corporations that signed the original agreement of the Sugar trust were doing business in Boston, these being the Standard, Boston, Bay State and Revere sugar refining companies.
 Chess is looking up in Japan. The game never enjoyed in any other country the off cial recognition which 1t had in Japan until about a quarter of a century ago. During the rule of the Shoguns once every year the masters of the game met in Ysddo for a tourney within the precincts of the palace. Judges, umpires, strict rules, and all things necessary to the combat were provided, and after the fight was over the ranks of the various com batants were officially fixed. The number of ranks was seven in all, the seventh being the highest. Scarcely anyone ever reached the seventh rank, but there were generally one or two in the sixth. Certain families took the lead for several generations. The revolution of 1867 put stop to all this, but nov the game promises to resume it's impor- tance. In October last grand meeting of all the principal chess players in Japan was organized in Tokio. Over 200 players assem- bled, rating from the first up to the sixth rank. Count Todo, the former Daimio of Tsu, who has the honor of belonging to the sixth rank, is among tho chief promoters of the revival. Another meeting took place on the 18th of January. when a ceremonial in honor of the revival of chess was performed. There is considerable chess literature in Japan; one work contains problems the solution of which are said to make the player worthy to be placed in the sixth rank.

LET US HAVE PEACE.

Two nice little weapons for use in war have just beeh brought to the notice of the peaceful public. One Is the new gun with which the German infantry soldiers are to be armed with. It is stated that even the stoutsst trees will give those who stand op- pssite these guns little proteetion, for the balls will simply pass right through the trunks. Six men in a column, each seven paces from the man before him, may be shot through with one bullet, provided that it comes in contact with no metallic substance on the persons of any of them. The advan- tage that tho bullet of the new gun leaves only small hole behind 1t is comparatively insignificant. Moreover, should an enemy, as has often happened, defend himself be- hind village or courtyard walls, he will be protected only in case the wall ia remarka- bly, stout, for balls from the new guns have repeatedly penetrated with ease walls Q brick and half thick. The piece is said to be sure shot at @ knseling man 1 100 feet distant; or at two kneeling men side by side 1, 600 feet away; while earth breastworks less than 215 feet thick are no defense. Finally, this gun is very light, imposing comparatively little burden upon the soldier, and above all it is constructed for the use of tho new smokeless powder.
 If this cheerful little instrument doesn't kill enough, warriors can turn to the Brown segmental tube wire gun. This weapon is about i've inches in diameter at the breech and about forty inches long, somewhat re- ssmbling howit1er in size. The projectile 1t sends is . hard steel, conical headed bolt three inches long and weighing scarcely more than pound, and the explosive force is quick rife powder. It has dsmonstra- ted its wonderful capacity as an armo, pisresr and bids fair to be . most useful arm. At trial recently made the targets were composed of the best American wrought iron in plates one inch thick, three of them being placed together and bolted to each other. The first shot pierced a clean hole in the first plate; the second plate was also pierced, and in addition was split apart. making rift about an inch wide besides the holes. and the third plate had hole halt way through and was cracked on the further side. The projeotile was wholly uninjured. A new target was then set up and the second shot went through all three plates. They were perforated nearly as clsanly as if the hole had been made by power punch.
 Let us have peace.

AssRssMENT INSURANCE.

ASSESSMENT INSURANCE.
 It is frequently asserted by the advocates of assessment insurance in this country that their plan is similar to that of the friendly societies of England, some of which have been in continued existence for nearly two centuries. One who is acquainted with the insurance system of both countries says that the friendly societies of England, valuable and successful as they are, are in no sense life insurance associations, either in prin- ciple, theory or practice. The most that any pay funeral expenses. The limitations upon membership are very strictly enforced; even the average membership of those societies which are over 150 years old is 6e members; in those between 125 and 150 years old the average is 119 members, or leaving out of this computation one company which has a membership largely in excess of any other that has ever been established, the average membership of the remainder is 63; in those between 100 and 125 years old, the average is 12O. It is absurd to pretend that societies of this small nature repre- sent in any measure the principle of the in- surance; for the first principle of that insti- tution is that in securing large number of exposed lives, all the various chances of life and death to which the single life is exposed may be summed up in unit, and the cer- tainty that while tho individual may die, society always lives, may be substituted for the uncertainty of individual existence. There can be no averages of life and death sustained in societies so small as these, nor do they, in the application of their benevo- lent principle, base the return they make upon the amount they receive from the policyholder; they simply aim, as has been stated, to furnish at death small amount for immediate present needs. They do not pretend to collect and distribute large fund by way of investment for the amount paid; they are merely neighborhood or family benevolent associations, and in no particular do they partake in the least of the nature of life insurance organizations.
 It has been evident for some time that assessment insurance ss it has been con- ducted in this country is unsound. Many assessment insurance companies have died and moro will die.

evident that the demand for live stock
will, this year, be far ahead Of any
thing experienced in that line for
years past. This will, of course, cause
much higher prices to be paid than
heretofore. But it will not he an un.
