following to say OF 1t:
What Is good life insurance company
Is Il a company whose ratio or net assets
TO risks in force stands almost at the
top of the list; which pays all claims
against IL with the utmost promptness'
whose funds are invested in the choicest
securities, whose business is growing IN
all desirable directions; whose policies are
free from all harsh restrictions and limi-
tations-is such company GOOD ana
safe life insurance company? NO one
we think, will hesitate in his answer.

Brooklyn Life, by the way, Is seldom
spoken Of without having added to its
name that complimentary phrase, "A

quite certain who first applied this name

heve, il came years ago from the New

SIZE MAY BE HERE.
Tho Girl Who Disappeared From Now
York MAY BE in Richmond.

YORK Way Be IN richmond.
A rumor was on the streets Of this city
yesterday 10 the effect that Sallie Moore.
the girl who recently disappeared so
mysteriously In New York, was In Rich
mOnd.
The sudden and altogether unaccounta-
bic DISAPPEARANCE of Miss Moore caused
considerable comment in the New York
newspapers, and all efforts by the police
to trace her were of no avail.
1t was stated by a travelling salesman
in Philadelphia that he had seen the girl
in Richmond, and that she was registered
at the Hotel Dodson. i called at the
Dodson yesterday morning and found
there a representative of one of the New
York dailies. He had traced the girl TO
Philadelphia, and had strong reasons to
believe that she had made her way to
Richmond. Her photograph was pro-
duced however, and the clerk at the
Dodson stated that so far as he knew
no such person had recently registered
there.
The newspaper man communicated,
through Major Poe, with a number OF
places public and private in this city,
but nothing could be learned in reference
TO her.
1t will be remembered thai Sallle Moore
was the daughter Of a once wealthy Ken
lucky clergyman, and a number Of
theories have been advanced In regard
to her strange disappearance. Several
black letters connected with the af-
fair have been published. but so far the
detectives have been bafiled In their at
tempts TO trace the missing woman.

IT MAKES TIE DEAF HEAR.
SUCCESS OF A NOVEL INsrRuMEsr
The Mysterious Restoration From Deafness
By IN Unseen Dsvice-Old Theories
Successfully Applied.

During the past few years there have
been many rumors Of the restoration. In
some mysterious way, of the hearing OF
those who were known 10 have been dear
for sny years. This led to an tnvesti-
cation by those interested, and IL has
been found that this happy change has
been made by the use of most simple, yet
Ingenious device, which was invented by
a gentlems in Bridgeport, Conn.,, named
II. s. Wales. This device is the same to
the ears as are glasses to the eyes. and
is simply a soft rubber disc, arranged on
a rubber spring. and so shaped that when
inserted In the ear IL will focus the waves
of sound on the natural drum, thus In
creasing the vibrations Of the latter.
The possibilities of q device OF this
nature have long been known, but the
many attempts to use this knowledge nave
been such utter failures that 1t was con-
sldered beyond our present knowledge
Of the ear to make a practical instru-
ment Of the kind Consequently when this
device was first invented, not much at
tentlon was given the same, as 1t was
thought to be merely an old enemy In a
new dress; but gradually this slight pre-
JUDGE was dispelled. until, at the present
time, most physicians and aurtsts look
kindly upon the instrument, and seem
pleased at the success it Is meeting.
At a recent interview, Mr.. Wales made
the remarkable statement that, to his
knowledge, the device which he calls
Sound Disc, had never failed where re-
lief was afterward obtained by any medi-
cal, surgical or mechanical means ex-
cepting a powerful ear trumpet. which he
says is more powerful than his device. 1t
would seem TO be an ideal device for the
deaf. as ii Is worn In the ear. out or
sight, for months at a time, and, as far
as we can learn, is pronounced safe and
comfortable for the patient. Many times
It has proven itself to be an advancement
in the science of acoustics by relieving
the most obstinate cases which had defied
medical treatment for years
What may be the ultimate result Of the
use OF this device-whether the results
thus far obtained will warrant its use In
such a variety of cases that 1t will stop
the progress of deafness In the future to
such an extent that it will avoid the use
Of ear trumpets we cannot say; but the
desirabilty of a device of this nature.
as regards It's safety, it's benefit, and gen.
eral comfort to the user, none will fall
TO admit

OSTRICH FARMING.

American Agriculturist.
Ostrich farming is one of the impor-
tant industries of South Africa, which,
as yet, furnishes the bulk of the ostrich
plumes for the markets of the world.
There are probably 100000 domesticated
ostriches i'll Cape Colony. Each bird is
supposed to net his owner $40 per an
mum. The Enclosures in which they are
kept are usually tuilt of stone, but
where stone is not abundant wire fences
have been employed with equal success.
The birds are commonly plucked once
every eight months, yielding one pound
weight of feathers each; but many
farmers only pluck sixty feathers at a
time, so as not to cause too much irri-
tuition and resulting Inflammation, which
is very Injurious to the health of the
birds ana lessons the next crop of
feathers. The birds in these large
fields find plenty of food, rarely having
to be fed with mealieS. beans, iucerne
or other cultivated food products.
The number OF eggs laid varies from
eighteen to twenty-four, the male bird
usually eXcavating the nest in some
sandy spot, but both birds assisting in
the incubation, taking turn about. But
it is during this period of incubation
that the plumeS are at their best, and
many of them are utterly spoiled for
CONNER cial purposes.
OF late years artificial incubating has
been resorted to. and with perfect sue
cess, for it has been found that fewer
eggs are spoiled by this method, and
that the young thus Matched are no less
vigorous than those brought up by the
birds themselves. The value of feath-
ers exported from Cape Colony during
tire past thirty years is estimated at
over S50,0OO,0O0, the total weight being
about 1000 tons.
