The Maine NOn-FOrfeIture Law.

There can be no reasonable doubt, but
in the Union Mutual's 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 we'll understood that the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
Portland, Maine, is the only cOHnpa-
my issuing Policies under this law.
During the twenty-six weeks constitut-
ing the first half of 1898, no fewer than
thirteen notices of Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Policy-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 Polici es ag
gregated in am cunt more than 1872, 900.
One of these cases will suffice to show
the far-rsaching scope and liberal char
actcr of this law

A woNpERFUL MACHINE.

There is no doubtthat man is fine mechan-
ism, but like every other machine he wears out
by friction It is said that he is born again
ev 'ry two OF three years. His body is virtually
re-made from food To retard this making
over is radically wrong as man loses so much
vitality in the delayed process that 1t takes a
long time to recuperate.l The process Of making
anew is so accelerated by purging with BRAN
DRETH's PILLS that new man, as it were
may be made in two or three months, and the
change in the mechanism is such that the
worn out part is replaced by the new without
the usual running down of the entire machine

Remedy Against Plum Knot.

The Rural New Yorker states that
correspondent paints portions Of his plum
trees on which the plum knot appears
with coal oil and that this eventually
stops the growth of the swelling known
as ''the knot" By taking it in time he
says that the disease does not spread and
that the knots eventually pcel of, leav-
ing only scar to mark the spot. Nee
han, commenting on the foregoing, says:
As this disease is caused by a minute
fungus, there can be no doubt Of the ac-
curacy of this observation. Oils of all
kinds are well known to be fatal to all
fungous organisms. 1t is more than
likely that if the plum trees were to get
a painting of pure linseed oil or any
other vegetable oil once a year they
would continue at all times healthy.

A romantic story in which o young
lady who has been living near Blacklick,

ter comes from Curwensville, Cleartield
county. In the spring of 1870 Isaiah
Mcdonald of Champion Hills, Clearfeld
county, married a young lady from
Michigan. After few short months of
welded life the young man got into
trouble. A separation followed, and the
young wife returned to her western
home.
A snsrt time afterward q daughter
was born. The mothers death followed
swiftly on this event, and the child was
taken in charge by its grandparents. 1t
was years before the father knew he had
a daughter. After discovering 1t he
spent . great deal of money in fruitless
endeavor to locate her.
About the beginning of last March the
daughter, now young lady of 90 years,
learned of her fathers residence. She
wrote to him, giving her address al

was overwhelmed with JOY and wrote
giving undeniable proofs of his relation

Arrangements were made for meet

In the senate.


WASHINGTON, Sept 10. In the senate

was brought up by the presentation OF
q renonstrance from the Methodist
Episcopal church of Oregon and by q
bill presented by the Mr.. Rev. Green, q
missionary from China. Mr.. Dolph.
who presented the remonstrance, said
that the statements made in it showed
the ignorance of the conference as to
the requirements OF the Geary act
And Mr.. Hoar, who introduced Mr..
Green's bill, said that he did not con-
cur in its provisions because it gave
approval to the Geary, act. The bill
was referred to the committee on for
eign relatious.
A resolution was offered by Mr..
Stewart for special committee to in
quire into whether any senator is a
stockholder in National banks. or di-
rectly or indirectly interested in them.
The resolution was earnestly opposed
by Mr.. Hill of New York, as uncalled
for, unnecessary, and reflection on the
senate.
0Aks StCWaEt was dUOub W w
Mr.. Hill when objection to the resolu-
ton was made by Mr. Hawley and the
bill went over, Mr.. Stewart telling Mr..
Hawley that he would then discuss it.
The repeal bill was then taken up
and Mr.. Pugh OF Alabama addressed
the senate in opposition to 1t.
House.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l2.-There were
less than 100 members present when
