PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Every sin makes its own hell.
Walking is learned by falling.
Jdleness invites all the miseries into
ones life.
The amplest way to get good is to
give good.
Owls have their orgies while doves
are asleep.
There is nc music for the old, like
an old tune.
More owe success in life to struggle
than to help
The practice of using opportunities
multiples them.
Conscience word that once had a
definition
Those who know when to speak,
know when to be silent.
Don't cover your neglected duties
with the cloak of excuse.
Fidelity in little things is one of the
surest tests of character.
In the end we will be thought to
have done as well as we have.
Whenever we can give anybody 'de
impression that we know more Ian we
.,ill tell we feel that We nave accom-
plished something.
A sense OF our own superiority and
hope that it will ultimately be rec
ocnized are about the only things that
make life worth living.
Shun the inquisitive, for you will
be sure to find him leaky. Open ears
do not keep conscientiously what has
been intrusted to them, and word
once spoken flies, never to be recalled.
The loftiest souls are those who are
conscious of the universal symphony,
and who give their full and willing
CO. Elaboration to this vast and compli
eated concert which we call civilization.
Like alone acts upon like. There
fore do not amend by reasoning, but
by example. Approach feeling by
feeling do not hope to excite love ex-
cept by love. Do what you wish
others to become. Let yourself, and
not your words preach.

INSURANCE AGAINST ILLNESS.
People Now Able to Prepare fer Attacks
of Contagious Disease.

People Now Able to Prepare fer Attacks
of Contagious Disease,
The newest thing in personal insur
ance, so far as this country is concerned,
is insurance against sickness. Such
insurance has been furnished in Eng
land and on the continent for some
time, and in Germany, where the
blessings of a paternal government
are enioyed to the fullest extent, it
was recently announced that all heads
of families engaged in wage-earning
would be compelled to take out insur-
ance against illness.
Insurance of this kind has been fur
nished in this country for some time
on a small scale by mutual organiza-,
tions, but it was not until last sum-
mer that it was taken up by any we'll
established company.
There are said to be only two COM
pauies at present prepared to write
policies of insurance against illness.
This is included with regular accident
insurance, and there is combination
policy offered by which for small ad-
ditional payment the insurance against
illness is secured.
A person SC insured may receive
S25 week if he suffers from ''typhus
fever, typhoid fever, scarlet fever,
smallpox, varicloid, diphtheria, mea-
sl6s, or Asiatic cholera, and such ILL
ness shall, Independently of all other
causes, continuously and wholly dis
able and prevent the insured from per-
forming any and every kind of duty
pertaining to his occupation. " The
limit of indemnity is fixed at twenty
six weeks. All the diseases mentioned
are.rf s~eQntagious character, and no
attempt has fSaaa. made as yet to in
sure against any oflsss.s.
Insurance men who are interested
in this subject are watching with in
terest to see how the new idea takes, :"
and some of them say it is probable
that the list of diseases which per-
son can become insured against will
soon be heightened.
1t will be noted that one important
contagious disease, yellow fever is not
named in the list, but the chances of
being attacked with yellow fever in
this part of the country are so small
that its omission is not matter of
great Importance to New Workers. =

Raacher,s Bon Mot.

When Henry. Ward Beecher was IN
indianapolis there was store where
the different ministers used to drop IN
to hear the news and to try each
others mettle with joke.
On one occasion Mr.. Beecher, while
riding to one of the stations of his
mission. was thrown over his horses
head in crossing a river, and was
thoroughly soaked. The incident, of
course. furnished talk for the habitues
of the store, and, when he made his
appearance the next day he was
greeted by his good friend, the Bap-
fist minister. 'Oh, no, Beecher, glad
to see you. I thought you'd have to
come into our ways at last. You've
been immersed, l hear; you are as
good as any of Us now" A general
laugh followed this sally. "Poh, poh!"
was the ready response, 'my INNER.
sion was a different thing from that of
YOUR converts; you see, | was i'm
mersed by horse, not by an asst" A
chorus proclaimed that Beecher had
got the best of the joke after ALL

in The Monitor, newspaper published at
Meaford, Ontario. Doubts were raised as
to its truthfalnsss. consequently closo
watch was kept on the case for two years
and the original statement has now been

Great Commander.
''Oh, it was an intensely interesting
study-my study of Grant at close
range in the Wildernessr'
The speaker was the Rev. Theodore
Gerrish, Maine veteran Of the civil
war.
s'Ah! can never forget that terrible
day in 1864, when was fought the>tirst
of the two days bloody battles of the
Wilderness, continued Mr.. Gerrlsh.
81 at the time lay wounded under
tree, close to Grants headquarters in
the field, and hour after hour watched
Grant. >
"While serving as private IN my
regiment, I was severely, though not
dangerously wounded, and, like
great number of others, was taken to
the rear. / was placed under small
tree, and, as it happened, within q
few rods of the spot where the leader
of that mighty host of Union warriors
was conducting the battle. In fact, l
was so near to Grant that I could see
every motion he made, and critically
STUD study him in the momentous, ,fearfnlly
responsible role he was playing.
''And such study!
"Why, it is not hyperbole to state
that it was worth all thepain and dis
ability I endured then and thereafter
from the effects of my wounds.
''There stood the silent man of
destiny in front of his little tent;
man plain and unpretentious, holding
in his hands not only the fate of his
vast army, but the life of our nation
as 'one and inseparable, yet as cool
and self-possessed as if he were merely
reviewing a brigade of militia on train
ing day. All about him was wild ex-
element and seeming chaos. In
front of him, and for miles in extent,
the unceasing roar ofartillery mingling
and alternating with the rattle of
musketry, the bugle calls, the shouts
of the contending troops, now nearer
and more terrible, now seeming farther
away; anon the crashing of a shell III

porary scare in the vicinity of its fall.
Everybody was agitated except
him who had most cause for travail.
",Staff officers would gallop up every
few minutes, to each of whom he
would give brief written order for

the fate of thousands of brave men.

look; and yet, through these long and
terrible hours Grant never once lost
his head, but kept constantly IN his
mind's-eye all the details and intrica-
cies of that stupendous plan which
devolyed on him alone to carry out
the solution of that mighty problem,
the key to which lay in his right
hand, which held the fateful pencil.

he was about, and he knew, moreover,
that a cool head and well balanced
