THE NATIONAL LIFE.

The National Life Insurance Company of
Vermont has been making rapid progress of
late years, but that made in 1889 far out
the years business the gross assets amount
ed to $5,971 ,5O6, gain of over $500 600
for the year, and the surplus increased during
the same time to 1921 500 on a four per cent
basis. The total amount of new business
written during the year +, IA policies
insuring $40, 743, 9SS which was the largest
business written by this company in a
single year. On the 31st of December there
were 8, S24 policies in force, insuring $685.
767, 541, increase of 1874 policies and
Sc, 455, 23S insurance over the previous year
The income for premiums was ST 495,O69
and for interest and rents $3.50 COG a total
of 81, Isl ,675, and the total disbursements
amounted to $1,o75, S72, OF which 5000, &c
cation the National has received for interest
So, 155, 291, and has paid for death claims
and endowments So, 227 ,229 a fact which
speaks well for the character of its invest
ments. The total amount paid policy hold
since organization is $5,796,313.
And so this company continues to push to
the front each year and to become financially
stronger year by year. AT the time it
is Offering the insuring public one of the very
best contracts in existence. Broad and Hbe-

When the Hon. Amos ]. Cummings

anticipated. The settlement of
Molokai is in charge OF the sisters of

GET BACK IN DE RIBBER."

The prevailing high waters and the
danger of a sweeping flood recalls to
mind a humorous incident of the
great flood of 1882, which is good
enough to repeat. A certain boat
coming up the Mississippi lost her
way and bumped up against frame
house. She hadn't more than touch
ed it before an old darkey rammed
his head up through a hole i'll the
roof where the chimney once came
out and yelled at the captain on the
boat: "Whar de hell is yer gwine
wild dat boat? Can't you see muffin?
Fust thing yer knows yer gwine to
turn dis house ober, spill de old wom-
an an de chil'len out in the food an

WHAT A BOY SHOULD KNOW AT
EIGHTEEN.

Ayouth of eighteen, who is to have
the best chances, should know how
to study, and know how to do it
with enthusiasm also, because he has
learned the lesson at least five years
before.
Enthusiasm, guided and controlled
by knowledge as to the use of the
powers, is the true life of a living
man, alive with the spiritual forces.
Everything else is in sleep, or is dead.
make my starting point, and my
guiding thought, the thought that
he should learn how to study and
should gain enthusiasm at the begin
ming.
In the first place, as | think, the
study of language may be most hope
fully and successfully started in these
earliest years. The boy moves joy
and WEAKNESS. The children of our
households today may gain the same
thing that we gained at five and
twenty, and far more than we gain
ed at ten or twelve; and their pro-
gress is like the joyful song of their
childhood, when they are led along
the rational method. They grow up
into French or German, as it were,
as they grow up into English, and
talk and read and sing in these lam
guages, just as they do in their own.
Why should they not breathe in en-
thusiasm with every breath of their
learning? 1t was with a grea price,
indeed, that we obtained this free
Il IL
Let me say here that, in my judg-
ment, every boy who has the best
chances ought to have the mastery
of the French or German language
Il should say of BOTH before he is
eighteen years of age-a mastery
kindred to that which he has of Eng
Iish He should, also, have such a
knowledge of Greek and Latin as
will mean power in and over such
languages, and will enable him to
read them with ease and with salts
faction as he enters upon his college
course. The man who knows the
ancient languages as he ought to
know them will never contend
against their holding place in the
educat ton of all widely -educated and
roundly-educated men.
The boy who has the best chances
ought in the years between twelve
and eighteen to be set forward on
his course in history and the begin
nings, at least, of the literature of his
own language.
My feeling is that the boys who
have the best chances should know
something of music, and should, at
least, see the opening of the door to-
ward art studies. The opinion is
now well established, l suppose, that
all persons can be well instructed in
vocal music with a measure of sue
cess. | believe that the same thing
can be accomplished in the line of in
strumental music.
That the mathema teal studies
should be pursued energetically be-
fore the youth has reached the age
of which we are speaking, may add,
is admitted by all The men of the
former generations and the men of
our day agree on this point Presi-
dent Dwight in the April Forum.

EDITORIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Editorial responsibility is akin to
ministerial responsibility. Hispaper
is his pulpit. The days news is his
text. The editorials are his sermons
while merchant, farmer, lawyer, me-
chanic, housewife and housemaid,
the children around every hearth
stone are his auditors To have no
higher aim than to tickle their pal
ates is a guaranty of his unftness
for his position and his influence will
ultimately be expressed best by a
cipher minus its rim. The appetite
that Graves the bar room lewdness
and the drainage of the moral cess
pools of a community has no right
to be fed by the public press Lud-
low Tribune.

THE SUN
1890.

Some people agree with the Suns opinions
about men and things, and some people
don't; but everybody likes to get hold of the
newspaper which is dull and never
afraid to speak its mind.
Democrats know thai for twenty years The
Sun has fought in the front line for Demo
cratic principles, never wavering or weaken
ing in its loyalty to the true interests of the
party it serves with fearless intelligence and
disinterested vgor. AT times opinions have
differed to the best means of accomplish
ing the common purpose; it is not The Suns
fault if it has seen further into the milestone.
Eighteen hundred and ninety is the year
that will probably determine the result of the
Presidential election of 500, and perhaps the
fortunes of the Dem ocracy for the rest of the
century. Victory in 1892 is a duty, and the
beginning of 1890 is the best time to start
out in company with The Sun.

Nearly 100000 worth of fine tailor made
clothing to be sold out at 40 per cent less
than cost. This stock is from q wholesale
clothing manufacturer who has recently fail
ed, and it has been placed in hands with
positive instructions to turn the into
cash in the shortest possible time. Realizing
that it would be rather impossible to close
out the entire stock in a short time unless
great inducements are made, consequently we
have decided to make one great sweeping sac
rifice and will offer everything at retail at 40
per cent. less than cost Remember that this
stock is entirely complete. and composed of
new, stylish, fashionable, high grade clothing
great sacrifice is because it must be closed out
at once.
This great sale will enable the people of
st. Johnsbury and surrounding towns to
nice, stylish, durable and we'll made
clothing for almost nothing, the following
will prove.

Secretary Proctor is praised by the
army officers as one of the most en-
lightened and liberal chiefs which the
war department has had for many
years Heseems disposed to develop
the military establishment to the
highest efficiency both by extending
new privileges to the private soldiers
and by giving the officers every oppor-
tunity TO study foreign establish
ments, methods and armies. Several
officers are in Europe studying the
