Rock Work and Plnut. in A~euar.um..

In the best modern aquarium practice the
rock work in the tanks is simple in construction
and limited to n minimum in bulk. Elaborate
rock work is more difficult TO keep clean. and IL
bulky it displaces. OF course. just SO much
water. and SO lessons the sustaining power
Of the tank. But rock work. in som form.
or vegetation: is desirable for the comfort of
the fishes. There are fishes that like TO
loaf around rocks, or. perhaps. to creep under
them. In nature they find food in such places,
and 1t may be shelter from their enemies; and
there are fishes equally accustomed to plants
Of one sort and another. and almost all fishes at
times like seclusion. or places where they can
go by themselves. In an a. uarium il is a COM
mon thing to see a fish motionless behind some
slender plant which does not conceal it, but docs
serve as q place of retreat.

II Paws TO Advertise.

We want our readers to look over our
advertising columns and remember 1t Is to
those merchants that the public can thank
for newspaper being published IN their
community. The subscription list, of
course helps, but the main dependence OF
4 newspaper comes from merchants who
have enterprise enough to cater to the pub
lie for the cash trade. Any man with goods
on his shelves can sell them on credit
and can command such prices as justiti"s
the risks he takes. but the merchant who
endeavors to sell goods for the cash must
meet competition fairly and square!y. 1t
is therefore safe to conclude that the ad-
ver,ising merchant has bought his goods to
sell for the cash and there is the place to
buy and save money. Some merchants Will
try to convince the buyer that instead of
giving the paper pay for advertising, the
customer gets it in the decreased price Of
the goods, but that old yarn has become
hackneyed and the people have learned
better They find the more public spirited
a merchant is, the more he caters for trade
and the more anxious Is he to outstrip his
competitors: Just look in the stores that
advertise their wares and those that don't
aud see the difference in the stocks of
goods and the number OF customers.

REPORT OF THE MUTUAL LIFE.


The continuous magnificent growth Of
the Mutual Life Insurance Company, OF
New York has for many decades been
source Of pride to its many policy holders
and Of wonder to those interested N social
economics throughout the civilized world.
Iu many respects the Mutual Life stands
alone as to its position. There IS nothing
like it. Its annual report of business for
the year ending December 81, 1896, the full
details of which are now in the hands OF
the New York State Insurance Department,
shows that the company possesses net
assets aggregating 1924, IA, 1882. The
books of the company indicate according
to its own standard of policy valuation, &
much larger sum than that, but this year
the report is made III conformity with the
requirements Of the State Department,
which excludes assets that are not realized
upon, but which are proper to regard as
ultimately good and available. The llab:l-
tiles on the risks in force amount 10 S2Oo,-
Ol0, ,s33.72, leaving surplus fund of So
733, ,5l4.70. This shows an increase IN a0-
mitted assets during 1896, according to the
New York State standard, OF Slo O4OOO -
and an increase in surplus OF s., So3, ,46f U6
The total income Of the company for the
wear was $40, 702, ,695 27. The amount paid
to policy holders aggregated S25, 437, 80.
Since the date Of its organization, in lS43,
the Mutual Life Insurance Company has
paid to living members S25S, ,959. i5l, 1913,
and to the beneticiaries of deceased mem
bers SITS, S,045, 1876, making total OF
S437 ,005 1929. The company has insur-
ance IL force amounting to over $751;

Mr.. SHUTS of KingStree Robbed.

4 daring AMI mysterious robbery oc-
Cured in kinsstree last Friday night. Mr..
r. L. Suits, the dispenser at that place,
was robbed between the hours OF II o'clock
midnight and daylight Of Sl95 IN cash, and
q check for so on an Atlanta bank. Also
his donble-b.rrel shot gun, watch and
chain, his hat, five cigars and two l-cent
pieces. ~
Mr.. Suits attended meeting of the Ma
sonic lodge Friday night and got home a
little before midnight. He is positive that
he had the money when he went to bed,
and he is equally positive that lie put his
vest under his pillow just before retiring;
and here comes the mysterious part-how
the burglar succeeded 10 opening the win
dow and entering the room without
awakening the occupants, consisting OF
Mr.. Suits, his wife and two children; Ny.
Newman, a mail contractor, sleeping IN an
adjoining room. Mr.. Suits thinks he and
his wife must have been chlorotormec, as
thev both slept late the next morning ana
felt queer and somewhat stupetleo upon
being reused from their sIumberS. 1here
was a lamp burning where Mr.. Suits and
family were sleeping when the robbery
took place. Mr.. Suits has no special rea-
son for suspectinS any one and II can
scarcely be said that any clue exists to the
robbery.
This robbery of Mr. Suits is all the more
unfortunate, as the greater part of the
money stolen from him belonged to, the
State Dispensary and it will be very hard
on Mr.. Suits to have it to pay back. The
Dispensary at Kingstree seems to be IN
fortunate, as about two years ago Mr.. Nc
Donald lost his position as dispenser ny
sending money through H. Q. Snow, whose
checks proved not TO be worth the paper
they we're written on.
Mr.. Suits is looked upon as straight
forward and honest man, and has given
verv good satisfaction in his capacity a:
dispenser, and friends generally Will reere
to hear Of his misfortune in having the
money stolen from him.
This is the second robbery that has oc
cured in Kingstree recently. The doc
to the safe in the express Office was blowr
of some weeks since, but fortunately th'
robbers were frightened away.
