the drawing room? In how many draw
ing rooms is some such remark as this
being made every day of every year:

A Very sensitiva Sick Man.

supersensitiveness is a quality which
often subjects those possessing it-per-
haps the phrase "a victim to it, better
expresses the idea--to great deal of
sufering-suffering endured simply be-
cause peculiar sensitiveness in some
one direction prevents the utilizing of
means directly at hand to prevent that
suffering. A resident of Lansdowne,
who may properly be said to be super
sensitive, when taken sick recently, for
"a long time refused to have a physician
sent for. When pressed for reason, he
at length explained by saying, "Well,

and look of distress cone over her

Here he was, plunging into science

but she nerved herself to the effort.

Of leaving you here alone. You must

Not word if you please, Mr.. Smith,
You will really annoy me if you refuse.
She thought to herself that he little
knew how more than annoyed she was
at the thought of his possible questions.
As he followed James, Mr.. Smith re-
marked to himself that before this ex-
perience he would have vowed that she
was too pretty to be eccentric. He had
no wish to bathe, but fearing to vex her
meekly proceeded to perform his ablu-
tions.
She was go elated that she went to
the piano and sang for half an hour.
She was startled by hearing some one
come rushing into tho room behind her.
She wheeled on the stool and encoun-
tered the gaze of MIR. Smith, who stood
before her, looking decidedly uneasy

Mrs. Botzine," he said, ''but I wished
to thank you for your kindness and to

he waved his hand apologetically and
continued:

Professor Botkine, but perhaps / can

to catch the 5 O'Clock train. "
For moment she felt stunned. Then
a flood Of questions poured through her
mind. Was the man insane, or what
had she done to offend him? What was
there in science to turn an apparently
mice" young man into such distrait
savage? The rest of the day seemed end

She welcomed her guest cordially,
but the minute she was alone with her
husband she seized him by the lapels
"What joke have you been playing

"Why, my dear, there is no joke

Our former Agen left rs about the last
CT December. We were then carrying a
q little over $4,000 insurance, now we
have about $50 members and $4,000 in
surance, which will make assessment very
much smaller in the future and prove more
satisfactory, as large assessments have a
tendency to cause Withdrawals.
There can be no doubt about il b=ing the
best and cheapest insurance that has ever
been made, when properly understood. If
insurance is wanted at all this plan will be
acceptable. There is one danger-the
Agent for the good of his pocket taking in
rascals at full valuation-and when the
torch is applied for the money, suspicion
are aroused and all honest people feel like
abandoning the whole thing. [ have used
all my power to guard this point, by ad-
vice to the agent In reference to Deprecated
values. ETC., as we'll as selecting suitable
persons for directors. The law is that no
building and property shall be policied
over three -fourths Of real value. The val
uation of every policy must be passed upon
by the director of the townsphip before it
is valid. All losses must be reported to
the director inside Of ten days.
If any one wants insurance that is sure
they must not loose faith and become dis
couraged too soon. A company operating
upon the same plan as ours for the last
seventeen years in Kentucky has an aver
age cost of 20 cents on the hundred in
sured Said company bad loss of 80
cents per hundred one year, and has gone
four years without loss; such things eau

learned that the labor troubles are
not confined to this country alone,
but to almost every civilized country

The labor troubles are becoming

with which governments will have
to solve to the satisfaction of the

do justice to the manufacturing in
