NY Is limited by its charter to risks not more
hazardous than private residences than farm
property. 1t was organized In 1893, by farm
ers and owners Of dwellings, to obtain for
themselves and others the security offered by
a company doing n home Insurance business.
During these thirty-seyen years, their wisd-
ON in treating this class of property, for i'm
suTance purposes, as different from all other
kinds, has been proved by the popularity of
the company, by its steady and rapid growth
in assetts and in the confidence of the citizens
of every state in which its policies are issued.

.y one.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
There is a well-groun ded popular be-
lief that our tortoise lives to vast age,
and numerous cases of turtles bearing
dates over a century old have been
cited. There was, until 1856. in the
neighborhood of the writer's home in
New Jersey, an old tortoise which had
been marked by Cyrus Durand, the in
ventor of the geometric lathe. 1t bore
the inscription &c. D., 1885," clearly
cut with graver on its under shell. AS
the tortoise had been observed from
year to year since the time of it's mark
ing by the most trustworthy witnesses,
there can be no doubt that the date was
genuine. This tortoise has not been
seen since 1886, SO it has probably died.
Another, which has been observed for
the past nine years, was marked with
the Inscription &C. B., 1879" AS the
letters and dates were SO much worn as
to be but family discernible, they were
doubtless reliable. This old animal was
found for the last time, dead, in the
summer of 1889. Another, bearing the
date 1881 is still alive. Assuming that
the tortoises were full-grown. or about
twenty years old when marked, we are
safe in stating the period of their lives
as from sixty to seventy years. No doubt
some individuals may reach a century
or over. Unfortunately for science. It
is common sport for the country ur-
chin to engrave tortoises with dates va
rylng from forty to fifty years before the
artists birth. This, however. can al
most always be detected, for the inscrip-
ton becomes very faint after thirty
years or rubbing over the ground.
