The BuryinE BeetIe.

This curious beetle derives it's name
from les habit of burying any small
dead animal left on the surface of the
ground. With such rapidity does it
work that two beetles have been known
to cover up a sparrow within a few
hours; and so unwearied are they that
if several burying-beetles are placed
in vessel filed with earth and kept
constantly supplied with dead frogs,
mice, etc, they viii continue to bury
them as long as the supply is kept up.
The object of this remarkable instinct,
so beneficial in its effects, is to furnish
food for the young who are Matched
from eggs laidi in the body of the animal
during its burial. In this way innumer-
able carcasses, which would pollute the
atmosphere. are removed and made
beneficial to the soil.-Detroit Free
Press.

Enforcing the Valued Policy Law.

TOPEKA. Kan, April i7.-The Con-
necticut Fire Insurance company is
the latest company to receive atteu ton
from Insurance Commissioner MeNall
for violation of the valued policy law.
In 1895 building insured by the COM
pany for 81. 500 was destroyed by fire,
and in making a settlement the COM
pany paid but 81, $50. this amount be-
ing decided on by appraisement. Com
missioner McNall wrote the company,
stating that an appraisement was Of
no effect, as the owner was entitled to
the face of his policy or nothing at all.
He ordered the company to pay the re-
manning $3.50.

Unwho1esome Desserts.

The practice of serving fruit, pud-
dings, nuts, confectionery and tidbits
of various kinds as a dessert is a per
nicious one. In the first place, it is
an inducement to overeating, since it is
quite probable that enough has been
eaten before the dessert is served If the
articles offered are wholesome. they
should be served and eaten with tbs
meal, as a part of it, and not at its
close, in addition to the meal. But il
is generally the case that most of the
articles served at dessert are wholly
unfit to be eaten at any time. and sc
should be discarded. Dessert is really
an ingenious device to lead people to
make dyspeptics of themselves by eat
ing more than they need. A safer and
more sensible method would be to be
gin the meal instead of ending it with
the dessert.-Good Health.

THE AMERICAN BOOK COM
PANY INDICATED.

The suit for libel brought by the
American Book company against the
Kingdom Publishing company in the
United States court at Minneapo-
his, Mimi. for the publication of a
pamphlet entitled "a Foe to Amer
lean Schools" by George A. Gates,
president of Iowa college, Grin
nell, Ia, in which the American
Book company was charged with
bribery and corruption in securing the
use of its school book publications by
teachers and school officers throughout
the country resulted in verdict of
libel against the Kingdom Publishing
company, and the jury awarded the
American Book company substantial
damages.
The teachers and school officers
throughout the whole country are in
terested in this vindication of the
American Book company, because the
pamphlet intimated that many of them
accepted brides from the agents of this
company, and as its publications are
used in very large majority of the
public schools, it is surely gratifying
70 the army of educators using them
to be thus relieved from the suspicion
OI corruption Oh WHICH Il6y are OlTeCtIy
accused by the author of the pamphlet.
A striking feature of the evidence
presented at the trial was the apparent
connection of rival publishers with the
:charges made by President Gates in the
.pamphlet. These rivals or their agents
evidently fabricated some of the stories
ssOut of whole cloth. During the trial
st was disclosed in the testimony of
H. w. Gleason, business manager for
the defendant, that 1000 copies of the
first edition of the said pamphlet were
furnished to the office of CHM & Co.,
Chicago, H., by order of President
Gates, the author. This and other like
facts impaired to the case a strong in
dication of conspiracy to injure the
character and business of the American
Book company for the benefit of com
petitor.
1t is understood that the American
Book company has already instituted,
or proposes to institute, similar legal
proceedings against other parties in
strumental in the preparation and cir.
culation of this pamphlet.
