however, there is no record. The prop

In the Circuit Court before Judge, Put
nam yesterday morning there was an in
teresting hearing in the case of w. L.
Bowers, administrator, vs.. New sYork
Life Insurance Company, on COM

answer. The exceptions were overruled.
The hearing was on the claim Of COM

policy for $4,000, and before the change
was made the insured died. The COM

amount of paid up policy, but the heirs
demanded the payment Of the $4,000, as
venif application had been made for a
paid up policy, the insured had died be-
fore any bargain had been contaminated,
and they claim that as the original policy
he took out in the company had endorsed
on it thirty days grace allowed in pay
ment Of premiums" this should be also
endorsed on the back of the SIC, 900 policy
held by insured at his death.
Mr.. Edward Woodman appeared for

insurance company.

In the German army every soldier Is
taught to act intelligently on outpost
service and in scouting operations, and
this is not too much to require in coun-
try where every soldier reads and writes
and can readily understand map and
compass. In Russia, however, where
nine-tenths of the people cannot read or
write and have lost the faculty of think
ing consecutively, the army cannot teach
the soldier much more than to move as
with machine. In order to havea force
of good men for picket work and adj
vance skirmishing they have adopted
this plan:
Each company sends four of its most
intelligent men to select body called
the scouting corps, and AS the Russian
regiment has four battalions, with four
companies each, that gives reglmental
scout force of 81. This service Is very
popular, for it is full of variety, and
though the hardship is great the food Is
good for hunting and fishing are in the
programme. The men are practiced IN
every kind OF woodcraft and are expect
ed to devel . as much ingenuity and
self reliance AS an Indian scout in our
service. They must sail, row, swim,
climb, find their way lay map and com
pass, slip through the enemy's lines,
procure every variety of information
and escape capture at all hazards

For the Reporter.
The Grange, and Tax Reform

Since the election last fall the RErOR-
TER has occasionally published cores
pondence and editorials in relation to
this great question of taxation now be-
fore the people of Maine, and the con-
spcuous position the Grange has taken
in pushing the question to the front and
urging satisfactory settlement of the
same.
The Grange is composed largely of
farmers. There are not enough men,
beers of other occupations within the
Order to give the least influence, even if
they so desire in any other direction
than that relating TO the farmer and the
great industrial interests he represents.
1t would be but natural then that the
Grange should seek the welfare of its
members aud endeavor by all honorable
means TO right whatever wrongs exists
of Which the farmers of our state are
mostly victims. 1t is certainly the alb
solute business of the Grange to do this
Its M mbcrs know that there are mlllons
of property in the state that does not
pay anywhere near its Just proportion
of taxes, which of course. prevents an
equalization of the burdens of taxation
and places the burdens more upon the
farmers than upon any other class. The
Grange as an organized body of farmers
has boldly taken this question of taxi
ton in hand and will never let it rest until
everybody in the state owning taxable
property shall be compelled to pay an
equal tax on property owned.
1t WAS through the efforts of the
Grange that the listing bill came before
the Legislature. 1t was considered to
be the best method that could at present
be adopted to reach the desired result.
How the bill has been warped aud twist
ed and finally defeated to answer the
wishes and intentions of those whose
object is to constantly evade the paying
of Il just tax, the people very well know
And it is also known who is responsible
for the defeat of that bill. The Somer-
set Pomona Grange has the names of
those who worked against, not only the

Valuable Insects,

Perhaps there are few substances con
tributed by animals to the materia med
lea of greater value or more extensively
beneficial than certain species of insects.
OF these there are none more highly es-
teemed for medical purposes than those
beautiful, shining, green colored insects
known as blistering beetles, or cantha-
rides. Their corrosive action is SO great
that they frequently infame and excori-
ate the hands of those who collect them,
and on this property their chief medici-
nal virtue depends.
They are generally used in the form of
plasters or ointment, and in cases of VIC
lent visceral Inflammation their cxter-
nal use can scarcely be supplied by any
other medicine Tons of these insects
are yearly imported, principally from
southern Europe. -London Tit-Bits.
