Well, that is all right, there is a risk
that they may be burned, aud you
will do well to protect yourself, but
do you know that it is the very small.
est Of risks:
The statistics of a live stock insuT-
ance company. covering their bust

that in 700 losses, 5 were by FIRE, 6os
from other causes. The risk is IS

There is a3 times greater risk from

There is 3 times greater risk from
broken limbs than from FIRE.
There is S times greater risk from
lockjaw than from fire.
There is times greater risk from
Pneumonia than from FIRE.
There is 10 times greater risk from
unknown causes than fire.
Larger from heart disease and dis
temper.
There is 9 times greater risk from
inflammation of the bowels than from

The same risk from runaways and
only less from drowning, b ind stag

If there is necessity for fire insur-
ance land there is) how much greater
necessity for insurance against other
casualties to which live stock is liable.
Now, these are facts taken from ac-
tual statistics, and ''facts are stubborn

Two large audiences greeted Rev d.
H. Shields again last Sunday in the
First NJ F. Church. The new minis
ter is proceeding along his pulpit min
istrations with well-dehned ideas, and
thus far his sermons have been of a
purely Introductory type.
His theme in the morning was
Gods presence and blessing" TAX
ing for his text In all places where |
record My name. | will come unto thee
and will bless thee. I" Exod-2o: "a.
The speaker said i'll part, that it was
all-important to know whether this
promise, first given to Moses and the
Mosaic economy, could be appropria-
ted by the worshipers in Gods tenn
pies of to-day. Above the door of the
Tabernacle, and on the lintels OF the
Temple i'll Shiloh and on Zion, the
Jews might have engraved the sem
tence. Can modern Christian churches
do it9 The old system was peculiar
and adapted itself to the people of that
age, and God taught them through
types and emblems the lessons of re-
ligion and truth. Hence the affairs,
the sacrifices, and ceremonies being in
state of pupilage, the service was in
tensely ritualistic. To-day, Christi
anity being purely spiritual, has put
away childish things and relies entire
ly upon the promised help of the
Spirit of God.

Many persons are inquiring why
Prof Downs was left off the Board Of
Examiners. We understand it was
because of his poor health, the Board
of Education not wishing to impose
the arduous duties of the position
upon him, no compensation being al
lowed. But it does seem strange
that a solid Republican Board of Ed
ucation might have been able to make
the Board of Examiners two Repub.
leans to one Democrat, instead of
two Democrats to one Republican
The Democratic funk last election
was not because they hated Republi-
cans less, but feared defeat more
There are many persons who expect
changes to be made, but not in the
direction indicated by the action re.
ferred to above.

One Of the pleasing incidents Of our
Easter service was the presence of a
real live Editor of our city, at the
Children S service. 1t is noteworthy,
in that we do not remember the day, if
indeed there ever was day. when an
! Editor graced our church with his pres
| ence We really felt hattered, and
deem it but just to thank our kind
friend, Mr.. Smith, of the Herald, for
dropping in. Not able to account for
this strange happening. we set about
to sift the matter, and found the solu-
ton in this, that one of our good dea-
cons interested himself in SO far as to
give our neighbor very pressing in
vitation, which he graciously accept
ed. We trust that neither have vowed,
that they twill never do the like
again Church Visitor.
Brother Hoffheins is quite compli-
mentary. 1t may be, however, that he
will not have such good opinion of
the aforesaid editor when informed
that his chief motive in going was to
listen to the solo by Miss Elda Kilmer
but was SO unfortunate as to be too
late to enjoy that portion of the treat
We are free to say. however, that a
very pressing invitation will not be
necessary to induce us to repeat our
visit. A nod from our friend, the dea-
con, will be sufficient.

His Barber Has Wrought Change in the
Ex-President's Appearance.
An interesting scene occurred in the
United States circuit courtroom at Chi
cago the other day when ex-President
Benjamin Harrison raised his right
hand and took the oath of attorneys who
practice in the court. The oath was ad
ministered to Mr.. Harrison by Oliver
T. Morton, clerk of the court and son of
Indiana's famous war governor. On the
bench sat Judge William A. Woods of
indianapolis, who was appointed judge
of the Seventh circuit by the man who
was taking the oath. At Mr.. Harrison's
elbow stood his partner, W. H. II. Mil
Ter, who was attorney general of the
United States during the last admins
tration, and near him stood John NJ.
Butler, an attorney who is considered
the first lawyer of Indiana, and who was
