According to an old legend the baby's dimples mark the spots where angels fingers touched the child in bearing it from heaven to earth, but unromantic doctors have different explanation. They say that dimples probably result from defective development of a muscle. When the muscle is called into use, the defective portion fails to respond, and 6 hollow is left into which the flesh and skin. of the cheek, for example, fall, and thus Ihe dimple is formed.-New York Sun

decided to at once increase the rates in the con-
fagration district, to allow for confagration
hazard, an element for which no provision is at
present made in the rates. The advance will
be 81 per 800 worth of insurance-that is, a
firm paying 40 cents per hundred will pay 81. 40
and . firm paying IS per hundred will pay &C..
The increase Is made the basis Of f xed charge

cause the board believes that the construction

struction has very little effect in staying the
