TrgE Loss REDUCTION.
What the figures of Insurance Conn
missioners Show.

The annual report of Chauncey w.
Brownell and Henry f. Field, state
Insurance commissioners, contains the
following statements:
A summary of the fire loss for the
year shows reduction in the aggl g.
gate of some $40, 900 over the ngures
of the previous year. The total of
losses incurred by AZ OF the Al COM
panies reporting to this department
were 1913, 1888, and the total paid
by the same companies was 1924, 228.-
90 in settlement of those and prior
claims. The amount paid by single
company was $l12, 964.09, represent
ing the settlements Of our own Ver-
mont Mutual, and the smallest sum
was that paid by tho Greenwich of
New York, which was only 81 20.
In Vermont a summary of the
figures for the past year shows trans
actions as follows in comparison with
those of the two preceding years, viz:
Risks written, s52Sisoas ssa'sass4s
Premiums reed, 1901 7si,ess 7s5,5si
Losses Es::s: , psis sss ssss : s:
The favorable fire experience of the
past two years has had the effect Of
modifying rates 10 some extent, es-
pecially in localities where the fire
protection is adequate ana UP to date.
Stock companies, however, are fight
ing shy of risks ON unprotected prop
erty in farming districts and away
from centres, where there are no APP
pliances for extinguishing fires and
protecting property, which is
simply good business policy and
cannot be criticised nor complained
of.
The payments for life premiums in
both level premiums and assessment
companies for the year 1897 were
over sl,ls5,00O. The
Of new policies issued during
the year, including industrial
policies, was 1904.
The subject of co-insurancc is excit-
ing some attention and discussion,
and it is intimated that bill may be
presented at the next session of legis-
lature whose provisions will prohibit
the insertion of this conditi IN in the
policies Of fire companies doing bust

The Forest Worms.

Here is Vermont experiment sta
ton bulletin in which Entomologist
Perkins gives some information about
the worm which is now doing so
much mischief in maple trees.
1t is one of the two common va
rieties of the ''tent caterpillar" vary
ing little from the other which at
tacks apple trees. The worms make
the tent-like nests, but they are less
conspicuous than those of the apple
tree worm and less used for shelter.
The eggs are laid in glutinous mass
on small twigs, as previously de-
scribed in the Herald. The eggs de-
velop during the summer and through
the winter live as fully developed en-
bryos. These embryos leave the shells
very early in the spring in the form
OF minute black caterpillars, which
creep about in companies, generally
running path of silk as they go
They often hatch two or three weeks
before the leaves appear TO give them
food, and are compelled to live fast
ing, and that sometimes in very cold
weather. But when the leaves start
they begin to eat, grow and shed
their skin for the spotted one we are
all familiar with, and during the first
week in June come to maturity,
about two inches long. They then
go crawling about on trees and every
where else, seeking places to wind up
in the chrysalis. When a place is
found the worm winds himself up in
a yellowish web, where it stays about
three weeks, when the yellowish moth
comes out. This moth lays the eggs
for the next years crop of pests, and
so the process goes on.
The bulletin says that prevention
is better than cure as TO the pests, and
that the prevention consists in de-
the eggs before they hatch.
But spraying the trees with paris
green or other arsenite may be effec-
tive as cure, and so with any meth
cd of actually killing them.
There are several beetles which de-
your the Larvae, and the caterpilars

GUS Complexion Specialists, of rs Fifth
avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason SO many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle Balms,

effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
a most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what a vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves. kind of
