The UNION MUTUAL LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY has
achieved during the first three
quarters Of this year very
large measure Of success.
The causes that have operated
to secure same are not difficult
to determine.
Summed up, they are as fol-
lows:
Increasing public confidence
in the smaller and more cOnser-
yative of the Life Insurance
Companies.
The desire to obtain the best
Insurance Contract in the mar.
ket.
The knowledge that the poll
cies of the UNION MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
alone contain the benefits Of
the Maine On.FOrfeiture Law.
Which, combined with the
fact that the Company's man

ness, makes everything subser-

Rev. e. w. Parker,
for thirty-three years missionary in
India, told of the work in North India.
He went there just after the Sepoy re-
bellion, to labor in Rohilcund andaa
neighboring province. There were
about twenty million people in the
charge. DIR. Parker began by teaching
inquiring natives, and setting them over
small schools. These schools for in
quirers prospered greatly, and today
there are about six hundred of them. In
these schools begins the religious work.
The children are taken in before they
knew much of heather religion. and SO
educated to the point where they are
ready to receive Christianity. These
schools are for boys only.
In Northern India there are also fifteen
boarding schools for girls, with HOO
pupils. When the work began there was
not q native woman in northern India
who couldread or write. There was
great opposition to the education of the
girls ON the part of the natives. A family
that would allow one of its girls to be
educated would be boycotted. 1t was
useless to try to get the girls into the vii
lage schools, SO Mrs. Parker established
boarding schools. But she found that
she could get no pupils. IL was with the
greatest difficulty that the first girl was
brought in Finally Mrs. "Whor found
a man who was supporting MS brothers
daughter She was burden to him and
he gave her over to Mrs. Parker. This
was the beginning of the boarding schools.
When the missionaries first went to
India no one was admitted to the homes

There is nothing that conduces to
successful meeting of emergencies bet
ter than a cool head, with feeling of
perfect confidence that everything is
going TO come out all right. Whether
things are coming out all right" or
not, at least the feeling Of quiet self
control makes one better able to work
toward the good result. To mother
this self possession is invaluable In a
large family small events calculated to
upset the domestic machinery are con-
stantly occurring. It seems to be a law
of nature that children should continu-
ally have hairbreadth escapes and come
within an inch of losing their lives.
But 1t is equally law of nature that
they should escape. And whenever the
critical moment arrives in her own life
or in the life Of another, it is important
for a woman to remember that the very
worst thing she can do at that moment
is to lose her head.
To do that means to be helpless in
stead of helpful, to be a drag instead Of
an assistance. In an emergency one
should rather seem heartless than in
efficient There are always ten people
ready to cry or faint or shed tears over
the sufferer where there is one who
stands coolly by and sees the way to
help him. Affection and sympathy are
often best proved by ignoring them,
particularly when the moment arrives
that calls for action and not tears

The other day a young lady visiting
friends in sewickley decided TO prolong
her stay-a usual decision with those
visiting Sewickley She wished to no
tify her father of her plans. She neither
wrote nor tolegraphed, but simply went
TO the sewickley telephone station and
talked to her father who was at his
office in a town in the eastern end Of the
itate, over 200 miles away. The miracle
Of the talking wire is one which seems
more miraculous as the long distance
telephone reaches points hitherto at
tanned only by the telegraph or the
slower process Of the mails.-Pittsburg
