FIRE INSURANCE.

The tremendous fire loss of this country is having it's natural effect on foreign in- surance companies which do business here And no wonder. The fire Joss of the United States is nearly ten times as great as the fire loss of the whole of Europe, ex- cluding Russia. At the annual meeting of the London and Lancashire Insurance company at London Wednesday it was declared that the business of foreign com panies in the United States has been worse than in all the rest of the world put to- gether. No foreign company has made money during the past year in it's Ameri- can business, while very many have lost heavily. These English insurance men are at loss to account for the fact that, though there have been no serious con- fagrations in this country during the year, yet the losses in 1891 surpassed those of all other years since 1871. Steps were then taken toward raising insurance rates on risks taken in America, which, it will be perceived, is simply following the ex- ample of insurance companies here.
 Of course everybody who has property to insure in this country is interested in this state of affairs. If it leads to better building it will do good. If laws and the threats of laws have not compelled our property-owners to follow the rules of safest and most nearly fire-proof construc- tion, perhaps the advanced and still ad- vancing rates of insurance will. At all events we may look on the present de- mands of both home and foreign insurance companies as containing rather large ele- ment of promise for the better observance of the principles of safe building hereafter among our people. Insurance companies must make charges that will enable them to live. The only way to keep them down is to build buildings that will not burn al the slightest provocation.

SINGLE COPIES THREE CENTS.
CITY GOVRRNMENT.

C1Ix GOVEHNmENT.
 What can be done has just been shown
 In the city of St. Paul, where the citizens
 rose in ther wrath and voted for honest
 municipal government regardless of
 party. The result was an overwhelming and deserved defeat for the local Demo cratic machine which has ruled St. Paul for years.
 This and the Jersey City rebellion are very encouraging affairs. All that is needed ip any city that is misgoverned is unity of purpose and unity of action on the part of those citizens who have real interest in good government. The Demo- cratic and the Republican and the Con- posite rings are successful only be- cause they are not fought in the right way. They cannot be annihilated by grumbling. And they can not be annihilated by blind adherence to party politics in municipal affairs. What there ought to be in every city, and what there must be if good government is to be maintained, is citizens party, the mem- bers of which are willing to study local affairs enough to understand them, and who will then go to the polls and vote as they ought to without any regard to politics. The public business of city need not have any connection with politics, and it is wasteful and dangerous to allow it to have any. What is needed is to educate enough people in every city up to the point of sec ing this. And to do this it is not neces- sary that they should be sent to London, part their hair in the middle and wear pointed shoes. They need not even join "the better clement" But it is for the interest of every property holder, large or small, to perceive that it will be money in his pocket if he can get his public busi- ness done in business way instead of in political, or ring way.

Robert J. Burdette in Ladies' Home Journal This is the state of man; to day he puts forth The tender roots of habit; to- morrow blossoms Of the same and keeps on bios >oming And taking deeper root, until at last
 It takes more work to move him from his corner Than it does to stir a housedog from the rug Before the fire.
 Then-when he thinks, good, easy man, His ways settled for all time
 Some busy woman comes along and says: Please move about six inches till run The sweeper o'er the place your chair has been.' An To! he splits the air with lamentations Loud, and deep, and shrill;
 He cries, there is no rest this side of paradise For poor man, weary and worn with moving Out of the way of sweepers,
 And wishes he were dead.
 o, how wretched is that poor man who cannot sit In last years dust and grime until this year Shall be two years ago last year! And when he dies. his hope and comfort is, He will be laid in dirt, never to move again.

atmospheric phenomena, etc. It is hoped
 that they will assist in preventing famine
 in Russia in future by giving timely warn
 ing when the danger of such state of
 affairs is apparent to the authorities and
 the farming population, which will thus
 enable them to take measures of precau- I tion accordingly and provide against a
 dearth of provisions. Among the thousand and one recently
 invented dental and surgical appliances is an ingenious device of French origin for producing local paralysis of the nerves in
 order that minor dental and surgical oper-
 ations may be painless. It consists of
 glass tube filled with highly volatile
 liquid. One end of the tube terminates in
 closed nozzle an inch in length. This
 may be broken off and the break leaves an
 orifce opening into the tube. Meanwhile
 the heat of the hand volatilizes the liquid
 and the stream of vapor may be directed
 against the parts to be deadened of feeling.
 The parts are in effect frozen, and the con- dition continues long enough for the com pletion of the operation. It is asserted that the tissues are uninjured by the &C., ton of the vspor.
 Olive-growine is in danger of being overione in California. In the neighbor- hood of Pomona, for instance, more than 300, ,000 trees have already been planted. It must be admitted that the Californians are prone to excesses in the matter of fruit culture. During the past thirty-ive years there has been at different times craze to cultivate the grape, apricot. Bart lett pear, and other popular fruits, as if it overshadowed everything else in impor- tance. The last fashionable horticultural l fad is the olive. A writer on the subject l points out that Pomona being the head | quarters for the sale of olive cuttings, the l conclusion that elsewhere in California the I olive is as largely cultivated is unwar- | ranted. He thinks that the distribution | of cuttings may go on for years without | danger of overstocking the market. Pure | he says. is hard to find in the United States, and in supplying it will con- sist the large profits of the growers. The imported article is in most cases adulter- ated, and the admission is made that the Californian product is sometimes not as pure as it might be, the high price of the oil tempting the dealer to fraud. Were the State law against the adulteration of olive-oil strictly enforced, he says. almost every grocer would be fined or imprison- sd. Of the thirteen samples of California pill recently examined by the board of hor- ticulture, only two were found to be pure. The oil of sunfowers and cotton seed en- ;ers largely into the adulteration.

But not for me their merry songs, Or blooming of the trees The sound of carpet-beating comes Borne in on every breeze; And must brush the cobwebS down, And ply the busy broom, And strew, against the lurking moth, With benzine all the room! This jubilee of earth and air, The sweet springs fragrant prime, Why is it that it brings to me, Alas! house-cleaning time?
