THE UNION cENTRAL,s BEST MA,

Mr.. Carey j. Hunter, Superintend-
ent Union Central Life Insurance Com
pany for Virginia and North Carolina,
has just returned form Cincinnati,
Ohio, where he attended the annual
meeting Of the General Agents Of the
company.
The Union Central has grown III
favor with the people until there are
only four or five life companies in the
United States that wrote as much
business as it did last year.
We are glad to learn that only one
General Agent of the company secured
more Of this business than did Mr..
Hunter.
That shows the Union Central to be
very popular in North Carolina and
Virginia.
This company gives the insured a
splendid policy-contract, and is highly
worthy of the large share of patronage
it enjoys.

lin thousand pound of law find not

la blind man killed the parsons cow in

"Let no man halo he is safe till he is

The King and the Farmer.

King Frederick of Prussia when
ne was out riding one day, saw an
old farmer, who was blowing a field
and singing cheerfully over his
work.
'You must be well off, old man, \"
cried the king. "Does this acre
belonge to you on which you so
industriously labor?"
"No, sir replied the old man,
who of course, had no idea he was
speaking to the king; 81 am not SO
rich as that. [ pillow for wages" -
"How much do you earn day.,
asked the king.
Eight groschen," returned the
man. That would be about twenty
cents of our money.
'That is very little" said the
King. "Can you get along with it?'
'"Get along! yes, indeed, and have
something left"
"However, do you manage"
"Well,' said the farmer, smiling,
Il will tell you. Two groschen
are for myself and my wife; with
two | pay my old debts, two l lend,

and two I give away for the Lords
sake"
"This is mystry which L cannot
solve" said the king.
"Then l must solve it for you,"
replied the farmer. CT have two old
parents at home. who kept me and
cared for me when L was young and
needed care. Now that they are
old and weak, [ am glad to keep
and care for them. That is my
debt, and it costs me two groschen
a day to pay it. Two more spend
on my children's schooling. If
they are living when their mother
and [ are old, they will keep us
and pay back what L lend. Then
with my last two groschen I sup
port my two sick sisters, who cam
not work for themselves. Of
course [ am not compelled to give
them the money; but l do it for
the Lords aske."
"Well done, old man." cried the
king, as he finished. "Now, [ am
going to give you something to
guess. Have you ever seen me
before? In less than five minutes
you shall see me fifty times, and
carry in your pocket fifty of my
likenesSes."
''This is indeed riddle which [
cannot guess said the farmer.
"Then I will solve it for YOU"
returned the king; and with that
he put his hand into his pocket,
and pulling out fifty gold pieces,
placed them in the hand of the
farmer.
"The coin is genuine said the
king" for it also comes from our
Lo1d God, and [ am His paymast-
or. I bid you good-by."
And then he rode off, leaving
the good old man overwhelmed
with surprise and delight.

P@Paw@.

S. G. Corbett, Of the West Vir-
ginia Experiment Station, furnish
es an interesting article to Garden
and Forest on the Papaw. This
fruit is so little known to horticul-
tural writer's that they generally
overlook or ignore it. Prof. Cor
bett says it is mistake to suppose
that the Papaw will grow only in
the South, as it is found as far
north as Canada. The most
remarkable tree Of this kind under
cultivation is found in the grounds
of Thomas Meehan & Sons, OF
Philadelphia. AS rule the Papaw
is in appearance shrub-like, al
though tree in every sense OF the
word.
The fruit ranges in size from
two to six inches in length and
from one to two and half inches
in diameter. The flesh is soft and
pulpy, much resembling an over
ripe banana. The pulp is rich
and sweet, rather too sweet on first
acquaintance, though not more so
than some bananas. 1t contains
a number Of date-like seeds. 1t is
said to be difficult to transplant the
Papaw, although it can be done,
especially when the trees are yong
and small. At present the only
method Of propagating it is by
planting seeds, or by layering and
the latter method is unsatisfactory.
The Papaw is recommended as
an ornamental tree. Its peculiar
and attractively colored flower clus-
tiers are a pleasing novelty, and it's
large leaves, often a foot in length
and four to six inches in width,
an effect of tropical luxuriance.-

DR.. G. A. Robinson the worker
with whom [ am associated this
week tells a nice little incident in
this. line. BY the way, the Doctor
is farmer now, but having been
a Doctor once the title clings to him.
One day friend Robinson was talk
ing with dealer, when farmer
came up with a drove Of hogs to
be weighed. The dealer said to
Robinson: 81 don't know why it is,
but that man always has the best
hogs that come in of the same age.
He always beats every one else. :"
Friend Robinson stood by and saw
the hogs driven into the pen on the
scales. There was one hog that
they did not want; an old SOW.
After they were all IN the pen the
owner went quietly in among them
without creating the least distur-
bance to get the SOW out. The hogs
would not move to getout of his way.
He had to push his feet around
among them. They were no more
afraid Of him then of each other.
He got hold Of the SOW and pushed
her along, putting his hand on the
side of her head to steer her, and
worked her to the corner and out of
the pen without the slightest
disturbance. After they were gone
friend Robinson said to the dealer
81 can tell you the secret of that
mans success. He loves tie pigs.
Didn't you notice how kind and
quiet he was with them. Liking
them as he does, he naturally takes
good care of them, and they have
every chance to thrive" Is not
this entirely true, friends? 1 heard
man say at an Institute that he
never had any luck with sheep.
Some one asked if he liked them
and he said he did not, that he would
go out of his way to kick one any
time. He never will meet with
success. You notice now and see
if you do not find that the very sue
cessful men in any stock line are
those who have a special liking for
the animals they work over.
[ visited stock fran lately where
the animals although of good blood
were sadly neglected. l felt sorry
enough for them. 1t is of no use
to tell me that the owners make any
money out of them, or If they dc
they might make good deal more
if they thoroughly liked the ami
mails and gave the close personal
attention that our friend does who
always has tho best hogs. 1t is
very good advice that one offer
hears at Institutes: "Get the kino
of stock you like best" l cam
bear hog myself, but had rather
curry a nice fat Short horn steer
then sit by the fire, and [ could al
most love a little Jersey cow

IN THE SANTA FEES WAY
Proceedings Which May Hinder the Re
organization of that Road.

Chicago. Feb. A cross bill was
filed in the United States circuit court
today that may delay the completion
Of the reorganization of the Santa F'e
railroad. The bill raises a question of
the ownership of the line of railroad
from Chicago to Kansas City, denying
the claim of the bonds now held by
the Union Turst company. and under
which foreclosure proceedings are now
pending, in pursuance to the general
plan of reorganization. The complain
ants are William Church Osborn, Fred
erick Sturges, Edward Sturges, Thorn
as RerkeIbork, Edward Sturges, Hen
~ c. Sturges and William II. Osborn,
all eastern men, who claim TO own CPS
bonds of the denomination of 81 coo of
the issue of January I, 1877, and as
Bert that they are the only outstand-
ing bonds of that issue. on the other
hand the reorganization or new COM
pany which recently purchased the
road at sale, claims 10 be the owner Of
1A.721 of bonds of the same issue, and
which were pledged as security to the
Union Trust company for the general
mortgage OF October u. 1889
Incidental 10 the issue Of the bonds
in question, the complainants charge
that the old corporation had concealed
considerable property Of its property to
eVade paying creditors. and allege that
among such concealed property was
stock in various sub-corporacions con-
trOlled by the road, the C2~rilles Coal
and Iron company, the COrrilles Coal
and Railway company and the Union
Belt railway Of Chic3gO-all Of which
stock the compliments charge was not
covered by the blanket mortgage. but
which included amonE the effects sold
under that blanket mortgage. To the
bondd issue which il directly concerns.
the bill asserts that there never was a
default and the court IS asked 10 re-
fuse 10 grant the decree Of sale prayed
for by the Boston Safe and Deposit
company, the trustee under the original
mortgage.
Robert Dunlap. counsel for the Santa

not wish the foreclosure. They claim
10 have a prior lien on the railroad. and
that our bonds deposited as security
