The Maine Non-Forfeiture Law.

There can be no reasonable doubt, but
that one of the chief contributing factors
in the Union MutuaPs acquisition of
New Business is the fact that the Bene-
fits of the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
are daily becoming better understood by
intending insurers-and with this clearer
understanding they naturally secure
Policies containing its benefits, it being
equally well understood that the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company. of
Portland, Maine. is the only cOnlpa-
my issuing Policies under this law.
During the twenty-six weeks CONSTITUTE
ing the first half of 1898, no fewer than
thirteen notices OF Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Polfcy-hol-
dershad through some cause or causes al
lowed their Policies to lapse, and upon
which, without any action whatever on
their part, their insurance was continued
by the benefcent operation of the Maine
Non-Forfeiture Law. These Policies ag-
gregated in amount more than 1872, 900.
One of these cases will suffice to show
the far-reaching scope and liberal char
acter of this law:

Is silence Always Goldene

We do not advocate a loquacity that
mistakes itself for the virtue on which
it descants. There is, undoubtedly, a
great deal of talking that means but lit
tie and ends in nothing Not consciously
insincere, it yet poorly represents the true
feelings; it merely dilutes the will and
weakens the purpose Doubtless there is
cause for the small respect that is paid
to words when not fortified OF upheld by
deeds Yet, if speech is not always honor
able. neither is silence. Mr.. E. FL. Jack

FLOOD TIDE.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

All winter long it ebbcd and ebbed, and left the
cold earth bare,
No pulse of growth the bare boughs stirred, no
hope the frozen air.
No twitters cheered the Snow-heaped nests, no
songs the vines and trees,
AS outward, outward swept the tide, and lett
the world to freeze.
Then came subtle change. time when for q
moments space,
Life seemed to stay its dying feet, and cease its
outward race,
And, poised as waves pOise, turn it's face
toward the deserted shore,
And with pitying rush, come back to visit it
once more.
We saw the freshening force rise in every yell
lowing stem,
In budding oak and tasseled larch and scarlet
maple gem.
Inch after inch, wave following wave, it rose on
every side;
And now the tide is at its flood. the blessed
summer tide.
For every ebb there comes flow; brave hearts
can smile at both.
The waters me- the waters go; we watch
them nothing loath.
Led by a hand invisible. their bright waves
seem to sing;
"The Lord who rules the winter is the Lord
that sends the spring!"

.THE FLY AND HIS TONGUE.
1t is Sometimes Like Pump, and Some
times File.
New york Recorder.)

L q RS
In the first place the common fy-or
house-fy-that gets into the milk and
butter and has to be kept from the table
by fans has wonderful machine that is
carried about to make life possible. The
mouth of the little black scamp is cur
ious continuance to get food out of impos-
sible places.
This mouth is moth ing more or less
than a tongue, which runs in and out
of the head like the tongue OF snake.
When the lowering insect sees a good
spot to light on, where there is promise
of a meal, he settles down, shakes a leg
or two, and then rHnS his mouth out
ready for business
This piece of machinery seems to come
out of the head, and it will always look
that way if you don't take a good peep at
the fly through glass some day when he
is busy on a lump of sugar. Then you
will see that the tiny black thread just
unfolds from beneath the head, where
there is a little socket prepared for it.
When the tongue comes out it spreads
and the end divides into two broad, fiat
leaves that are planted fiat down on the
food that is to be stolen. This is like
nothing SO much as a pump with ter
ribly strong draw" that sucks up all
the sweet syrup there may be on the
lump of sugar.
But if the food should be hard and the
fly can not get good hold of it, he
touches a little muscle spring and the
smooth surface of his tongue roughens
up like a file Back and forth these edges
work until the hard surface is torn and
scraped, and the particles that the fly likes
are sucked up into the stomach.
Then the fly balances on four OF his
six legs and uses the front pair as nap
kin, wiping off his tongue. Then he gives
a sudden flip of his wings, making them
go SO fast that you can not see them, and
he is off. Maybe he has been chewing the
cover of book, for there are wonderful
fly dainties concealed in the coloring
matter of'the cloth binding, and then
when he sKps off he leaves little spot OF
white where he has scraped up the color
and eaten it. May be he has been stand
ing on the back of your hand slipping the
perspiration, of which he is very fond,
and then he leaves a faint red mark and
a slight stinging feeling.
Don't be alarmed, though, for the
house fly has nothing of poisonous sort
in him, and can not hurt you: Some OF
his cousins have way Of biting and
leaving sore place, especially those that
drink blood, but the house-fy is not a
cannibal. He is very well civilized.

A WAR ROMANCE.
A Confederate's Life Saved by Union
Soldier as He was About to be MUIR
dered and Robbed ON the Battlefield.

Portsmouth, o., July 30.-This section
has been given war romance, in which,
after quarter of a century, brief &C
quaintance under peculiar circumstances,
is renewed by Captain Greed Milstead, of
this city, finding the confederate soldier
whose life he saved. The famous battle
of Lynchburg began on the afternoon of
June II, 1864, and lasted two days, at
the end of which the federal forces, I'M
der Hunter, were forced to retreat after a
stubb orn stand before the forces of the
confederates, under General Early. Hun
ter. after the battle of Port Royal, where
he defeated the confederates, moved his
troops up the Shenandoah Valley, and
at Staunton, Va, he was joined by the
First Brigade, Second Division of the
Eighth Army Coprs, with General George
Crook as division commander, and Gen
eral r. B. Hayes as brigade commander.
In this brigade was the Fifth West Vir-
ginia Infantry, General W. Il. Enoch's old
company, and in this company was FL
waite Greed Milstead.
After the fight of the first day, June
II. the federal forces had been steadily
advancing under heavy fire, and with
q sharp and bloody contest for every
inch of ground. All about were the dead
and dying-federal and confederate, " in
one red burial blent." The Union forces
were bivouaced on the field. About the
scene of carnage moved the medical corps
to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded
and dying. Also over the field moved the
dark and stealthy forms of those jackals
which only put on their hideous forms
in times like this. Many a groan was
stified by hands which sought to rob
when resistance was impossible. Through
the darkness Private Milstead observed a
form of one of these fiends in the attire
of the Union soldier, bending over the
prostrate body of a wounded confederate,
in the act of snu fling out the last faint
spark of life which remained. Milstead
bounded after the hell-hound, who
quickly disappeared in the darkness.
He found the wounded confederate
suffering intensely from gunshot
wound. He was conscious, however, and
recognizing his deliverer, thanked him.
Milstead watched over him through the
night and turned him over to the sur
geons the next day. Since that time Mil
stead has never seen the man he rescued.
In fact, a correspondence carried on since
the war his failed to locate him until to-
day, when letter from the party him
self came from his home in Texas. The
confederate in question is Hon. r. H.
Phelps a prominent and influential at
torney of La Grange. At the reunion of
the. Blue and the Gray to be held at
Birmingham, Ala, soon, Captain Mil
stead and Mr.. Phelps will meet face to
face and share the blessings of a common
country with each other Phelps served
in the cause of the gray as second SER
geant, Company Z, Thirty-seventh Bat
TALON of Virginia Cavalry. He was a
brave and gallant soldier.
