INSURANCE THAT INSURES

Accidents will happen, especially on
stock ranches where wild animals have
to be handled and sickness and death
will come to all.
This the universal rule, but modern
methods provide way to mitigate the
evil aud ease mans last moments by
the assurance that his wife and little
ones will not become objects of charity
as soon as he has creased over the free
ferry.
Life insurance gives the family ready
cash to live on, aud makes them inds-
pendent of the world.
The New York Life Insurance Co. is
one Of the strongest in the world. 1t

The British have resolved to devastate

PLEASANT PEOPLE.

Occasionally we meet people to
whom it seems to come natural to
be pleasant, writes Patrick Collins.
Such are as welcome wherever
they 60 as the flowers in May, and
the most charming thing about
them is that they help to make
other people pleasant, too.
The other morning we were in
the midst of three days rain.
The fire smoked, the dining-room
was chilly, and when we assembled
for breakfast, papa looked rather
grim, and mamma tired, for the
baby had been restless all night.
Polly was plsinly inclined to fret
fulness, and Bridget was undenia-
bly, cross, when Jack came in with
the breakfast rolls from the bak-
ers. He had taken off his rub
Der coat and boots in the entry,
and he came in rosy and smiling.
Here's the paper, sir" be said
to his father, with such cheerful
tone that his fathers brow re-
faxed, and he said, ''Ah, Jack,
thank you," quite pleasantly.
His mother looked up at him,
smiling, as he just touched her
cheek gently as he passed.
"Top of the morning to you,
Pollywog," he said to his little sis
ter, and delivered the rolls to
Bridget, with Here you are,
Bridget. Aren't you sorry you
didn't go yourself this beautiful
day?'
He gave the fire a poke and
opened q damper. The smoke
ceased and presently the Goals be-
gan to glow, and five minutes after
Jack came in we had gathered
around the table and were eating
our oatmeal as cheerily as possible.
This seems very simple in the tell
ing, aud Jack never knew he had
done anything at all, but he had in
fact changed the whole moral at
of the room, and had
started a gloomy day pleasantly
for FIVE people.
"He is always so, said his moth
er. when l spoke to her about it
Afterwards, Just SO sunny and
kind and ready all the time. L
guess there are more brilliant boys
In the world than mine, but none
with a kinder or sweeter temper.
| am sure of that"

BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

Boston, April 27.-rhe American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says:
Aside from the liberal purchases
Of fine Australian and Ohio De-
Iaine, made at the very beginning
of the week under review by a
well known mill, which practically
cleans up the supply of such stock
in the market, the usual trade has
ruled very dull and has presented
locally few features of interest.
The sales referred to consisted Of
something like 1900 bales of Aus
tralian. which were taken, it is re-.
ported, at prices ranging from 80
to "a cents, equivalent to clean
cost of 65M57 cents. The Delaine
woods amounted to about 10000
pounds, and the prices paid are
understood to have been 28@29
cents.
The sales reflect the tendency OF
the demand toward fine woods,
which are relatively Y much stronger
than medium low woods and they
indicate the confidence Of consum-
ers in this class of stock on which
prices are firmly held. Taking the
market as a whole, the purchasing
has been mostly of a pieclng-out
character. There is no disposition
to anticipate future requirements
to any great extent, and no specu-
lative tendency is noticeable.
While trading may be very dull,
the tone of the market as far as
prices are concerned is very
steady.
The sales for the week in Boston
to 1851, 900 pounds do
mestic and 100000 pounds foreign,
making total of 1921 900 pounds,
agsinst total of 4 ,256, 900 for tn
corresponding week last year. The
sales since January l amount t.
rs, 1913 900 pounds, against 52,l59,
200 pounds for the corresponding
time last year.

Omce-Seekers.

A pathetic but pessimistic picture of brilliant men who have met with re- verse of fortune, or have broken down under the strain of public life, Is pre- sented by Moses K. Armstrong among the sketches of Congressional life in "The Early Empire-Builders of the Great West"
 Many ex-Senators can be seen around Washington having apparently nothing to do, and but little to live upon. Some of them pick up small fees as claim agents or lawyers; others are anxious ly waiting for some job or fine open ing for business particularly adapted to their tastes.
 Some of them were prominent and able representatives of their respective States while In Congress, but their terms deprived them so long of their former business and so alienated them from the people that they could not again step back into the home pursuits which they had abandoned for office. They drift back to Washington where every profession is overcrowded.
 When once out of office, no one thinks or cares for them above the common level of mankind. No one stops to in- Quire whether another man has ever been Senator, Cabinet officer or Pres ident of the United States; neither does he care. If he has business he simply wants to know what the man is now.

GsIIand to Mouth" Livers.

One of the paradoXes of waste is that the persons most addicted to it are not men and women of independent means who can support themselves in spite of their eXtravagant expenditure, but the poorer classes. There is hardly an able bodied laborer who might not become financially independent if he would but carefully husband his receipts and guard against the little leaks of need less expense. But unfortunately this is the one thing which the wOrkingman finds it the hardest to do. There are a hundred labOrerS who are willing to work hard to every half dozen who are willing properly to husband their earn- ings. Instead of hoarding q small per centage of their receipts so as to pro- vide against sickness or want of em- ployment they eat and drink up their earnings as they go, and thus in the first financial crash, when mills and factories "Shut down" and capitalists lock up their cash instead of using it in great enterprises. they are ruined. Men who thus live from hand to mouth" never keeping more than a days march ahead of actual want, are little better off than slaves.-Success.
The St. Johns herald., 1901-12-14
The Act of Dying.

The popular idea that the act of dying is a painful process often causes fear of death. But death from even the most painful mortal diseases Is usually preceded by period of cessation from suffering and partial or complete insen- sibility resembling falling asleep or the pleasant gradual unconsciousness eaus- ed by an an9sthetic.
 The common phrase death agony" Is not warranted by what occurs in natu- ral death, which Is a complete relief from all pain. When death Is owing to heart failure or syncope. it Is sudden and painless-perhaps pleasant Death by hanging, there Is reason to believe. Is attended by a voluptuous spasm- Death by decapitation or electricity iS only momentary shock, hardly felt
 Death by poisoning varies in painful ness according to the poison employed Opium and other narcotics probably give a painless, perhaps a pleasant. dreamful death HemlOek, as we know from the account of the death of SO- crates, causes gradual insensibility from below upward. On the other hand, arsenic. stryehnine, carbOlic and mineral acids, corrosive sublimate, tar tar emetic and other metallic pOisOns infiict slow and torturing death Prus- sic acid and cyanide of potassium cause quick and painful death.-Humanita- rian.

full cargoes when she once sets out on her ocean-going career.
 Imagination fairly reels at the enor- nous quantity of provisions the Celtic will carry. The total amount of flour stored for bread and pastry will be 200 barrels, or 171a tons. Then there will be 50,OOO pounds of fresh beef and nut ton, and 12,OOO pounds of lamb, pork and veal, and poultry and game to the number of 5000. Besides 2,0O0 pounds of salt fish and fifty boxes of smoked fish, there will be 5000 pounds of fresh fish of various kinds and 300 pounds of Holsters, 5OO pounds of turtle, 3O,OOO oysters and 400 tins of sardines. It is estimated that at least 25,0O0 eggs will be consumed during each voyage. They will weigh a ton, and if rolled into one would make a colossal egg feet ? inches high.
 A ton and a half of oatmeal will be used for each voyage, besides two tons and a half of ham and bacon, that is, about fifty pigs will be sacrificed for each trip), two and a half tons of but ter Sufficient to cover 100000 square inches of bread), two and a half tons of jam, jellies and marmalade; ten tons of sugar, and ton and a quarter of coffee and three-quarters of a ton of tea, to say nothing of 800 gallons of milk, 100 gallons of cream and 100 gallons of condensed milk.
 Then the Celtic will carry fortysix tons of potatoes the product of about fourteen acres of average soiD, 5OO caulifowers, 1,200 cabbages, 800 pounds of tomatoes, one ton of carrots, two tons of turnips, 600 bundles of as- paragus.
 A veritable fleet of lifeboats will be carried on the Celtic's boat deck, each one large enough to be called sloop yacht.
 The monster liner, however, will only consume between POO and 300 tons of coal a day, as against 450 to 800 used by the Oceanic. This is because she Is an eight-day boat and not record breaker in the matter of time.

Dc>nA,a..n- "o"er or Locusts.

4 swarm of these insects stopped the advance of Russian army. They filed the air and blinded both officers and men. so that tllc former could give no orders. and even if they had done so the men could not have Obeyed them The horses would not face them, and they lay on the ground many inches thick. Every man and horse in the army was incruStPd with the insects. and their clothing was literally eaten off the men as they stood helpless and blinded. The railways were useless, as the locuSts covered the rails. and the oil which exuded from their bodies when crushed prevented the driving wheels from biting" After they had settled whole regiments were detached for the purpose of trampling them to death. Trenches were dug across their path ana filled with burning coals. but the crowding swarms actually smother ed the fire so vast were their numbers.
 Even in q little island like Cyprus in one year one-fifth of the entire revenue was spent in destroying the locuSts, and especially their eggs. When these eggs are laid. they are inclosed in a horny envelope called a ''pod," each pod containing 8 eggs. In seven months 1.330 tons of pods were de- stroyed Now. a single ton of pods contains 60OOO.O00 eggs. and yet, in spite of this almost incredible deStruc- tion. the locusts are still a dreadful plague and show little if any symptoms of diminutiOn in numbers

Chinese Village Names.

The villages of China rejoice in choice assortment of names, some of them very ludicrous. Indeed, the number of these communities seems to have been too much even for the ingenuity of the Chi neSe. Wang, for example, is so general name for a village that they are driven to speak of the Front Wang" the Rear Wang" the Wang Under the Bank, /" the Smaller Wang" and so on through every possible adjective or phrase to which Wang can be tackled. Among some of the names of villages may be se- lected such gems as Bitter Water Shop" "Liu With the Black Eye" Drop ped Tooth" Horse Words" "Duck's Nest' and, oldest of all, Where They Wear Pug Noses"
