that the Equitable Life Assurance
Society Of NJ. Y, recently withheld
payment of a valid death claim until
threatened. with a law suit in fact
not until the claim had been placed
ihtO the hands Of MessBs. SHthon &
Wallis, Atsgs. Il wish 5S denounce
his statement as absolutely untrue
and totally dlb8: The facts aUe that
one of the bsnefgiRHiss under the
nOlicy inrquBsti0n was a minor and
while the Society waB willing and
sager to make payment al OuGe it
could not dose until a tutor aREBbeen
appointed by the court for the said
minor. As s0Ou az the legal require
ments had bseu, compiled WITH. the
claim was promptly paid iRrfulI. The
card below from MessFs: SbtBen &

of mine and it must be plain to my
friends and to the public that the

Evolution in Building,

Within few years great changes have taken place in the manner Of erecting buildings. Formerly it seem- ed necessary to use heavy timbers he VII by hand, and more timber was then used in building horse shed than is now nsed in building modern house. This wap in the days of wrought nails.
 Next came the ers of sawed timber in stead of hewn timber, and with it came the "balloon frame" and sawed lath in place of split board lath. and in fact about half as much timber as formerly in the frame of building. This was the days of cut rails.
 Nowadays climber" is seldom used in building. If g carpenter wishes to use a stick 6x8 or 10x12 he nails to gether three plank 2x8 or five plank 2x12 This is the era of wire nails. The old fashioned "raisings." where men came from miles around to assist in erecting the frame of 8 barn or dwell ing and also to assist in the hard cider drinking, have gone ont of fashion; and yet we occasionally meet veteran wht longs for ''the good old days" of barn raisings in fact longs for "old pod suger times"
 The modern Way of saving logs into two inch plank and then mailing the plank together to make timber seems wasteful and reminds one of the waste of time and labor in cutting up calico into small blocks and then sewing the blocks together and finally getting up D quilting bee" to make g bedquilt, whereas nice white bed spread or counterpane and pair of fanEel blankets could bs purchased for one quarter of what it actually cos! to piece 8 bedquilt. Our grandmothers bed quilts were about as large as barn door and were about as cold and heavy burden to sleep under as stone boat would be.
