During the past 24 years he has received his annual payments with regular ity and great equanimity of mind and, having already drawn $o,84o,. he has come to the conclusion that he has found the elixir of life in an Annuity,
 At age 70, $1,ooo deposited in The Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York will yield an annuity of SI34.77 for life.
 This great corporation is the most wealthy moneyed institution in the world and more than SIo, 900 in claims has been paid in this state through the under signed.

NEED FED.

Many women are 'diet controllers. " Some of them control skillfully and be- neficentlN Some do not. It is now proposed that women shall learn the business of diet control and obtain en- ployment as experts in that line at col leges, large boarding schools and insti- tutions of various kinds. The idea is that the woman dietary expert will see that the food is first-rate in point of quality and freshness, that it is prop erly cooked, and that it is appetizingly served. She will make special study of the food market in order to get the best things at the least prices in diff ferent seasons. She will introduce va riety into the diet in such way as to make it more attractive than what would be furnished by one of less skill from much more costly material In short, she will be a thoroughly scien- tific and therefore absolutely capable housewife. Most housewives have ideas on such subjects which are more or less elementary; the woman who makes such work her business will have posi- tive and exact knowledge instead of go- ing by guesswork.
 This is sensible idea, and it may therefore have difficulty in getting adopted and acted on as it ought to be. There is no doubt that diet controllers are much needed in many places.

4 PINCH IN PARIS.

Paris, like some other cities, is find- ing difficulty in paying the fiddler. The authorities are now collecting new tax of one-half per cent. on rentals to make up for the revenue lost by the remis-
 sion of the taxes on the so-called hy-
 gienic drinks, namely, wine, beer, and cider. That remission has enabled the working classes to get beverages at a lower price, but the better class of wines are no cheaper, and the consum- CTS of these receive no equivalent for the new tax. Indeed, they are doubly
 taxed, for Working-class dwellings are exempt from the new impost, the whole
 burden of which falls on the upper and middle classes. It takes the place, how
 ever, of a proposed tax on gardens, based on their estimated value as build
 ing land. This threatened to despoiI Paris of many oases which greatly
 beautify the city. While the deficit for the present year is thus provided for, further deficit of 5000, ,OOOf for next year, occasioned by an increase in ex-
 penditure on public works, has to be met The Prefect suggests surtaxes on coal, butter, game, and poultry, meat,
 cheese, fresh-water fish, dried fruits, oranges, and lemons. It is very doubt
 full, however, whether the government will agree to these imposts. The proba- bility is that recourse will be had either to an increase in the new tax on ren-
 tals or in the old house-tax. This will fall exclusively on the upper and middle classes, thus discouraging foreigners or Frenchmen from living in Paris, where the cost of existence already compares unfavorably with that in other capitals.

The members of the general staff of the French army were all present at the scene of the battle of Sedan re- gently for the purpose of receiving an object lesson in American organiza tion in moving, housing and feeding an army of people. The first of the four big trains of Barnum & Bailey's circus arrived at o'clock, and by 9 8 hot and elaborate breakfast for seven hun- dred was served at tables. Meanwhile every tent had been erected and every seat mounted. Costumes had been un- packed and hundreds of horses stabled. curried and fed. The staff declared that even the crack artillery regiments could not equal the performance, and the 18th field artillery regiment was or dered out from barracks to entrain and detrain. Various faults were pointed out by MT. Bailey and his superintend- ent. A stenographer took down the suggestions, which will later be em- bodied in a renort to the minister of war. The staff was served with SUD- per in the circus tent, and then the whole circus melted away toward the next town in three hours.

Travelling in Portuguese Africa is thus described by recent writer: As soon as one gets into the interior there is an absence of roads and a great paul city of government military stations or trading posts. The country is slightly policed. The consequence is that the negro bearer who carries his rubber has 7 a long, dangerous, difficult journey, and is robbed of a portion of his stock from time to time; and when he returns to his village if his chief be informed that there is smallpox on the coast he is likely to be summarily shot by his own people. They have simple but very ef- fective quarantine methods among the natives in Africa
