NEW YORK LITE INSUR- ANCE BONDS WITH QUAR-
 TIED INTEREST.

A combination of insurance and ln- vestment under which the insured bond holder
 1. Purchases bond by annual pay ments through period of 10, 10, or 70 years, interest to begin at the end ot a period of l5 or 20 years;
 2. Is guaranteed an amount equal to at least all the annual payments made, with compound interest in case of death prior to the time when the bonds be- come interest bearing.
 3. Is guaranteed an annual income based upon the cost of the bonds tat tabular annual rates during the re- mainder of life after l5 or 70 years, as agreed, the face vaIule of the bonds be- ing payable to his estate at death;
 1. Receives a dividend at the begin ming of the interest bearing period, which may be taken in cash or used to increase the annual income from the bonds;
 3. Has the privilege of taking the entire value of bond and dividend iu cash at the end of lj or 20 years, as agreed, or of usiug it to purchase an annuity for life,
 Life insurance IS pest II d u'du 10 'S die prematurely; an investment IS best if a man is to live long; but, as no man knows his fate, and as insurance and ln- vestmeut are both good in any event, a wise combination of the two Is deS'd- eratum for all.
 The terms upon which bonds of the United States, of cities and railroads must be purchased, put them beyond the reach of many would-be investors, because such securities must be paid for outright in cash. These bonds Of ;he New York Life can be paid for by installments running through a period of years, and provide for insurance as we'll as investment.

Turtles Tenacious of Life.

The way cats cling to their proverbial
nine lives is we'll known, but the aver
age turtle will make a tougher stand
than nine ordinary cats. Perhaps boil
ing will kill turtle at once, but any
other method seems hopeless.
The severed head of a swapping tur-
tie will bite for an hour after separa-
ton from the body. But more wonder
full is the Indifference Of the green tur-
tie Of the West Indies to mutilation.
A party of naturalists lately returned
give an account of an experience which
proves beyond doubt that the green
turtles Indifference does not lie in its
head.
A green turtle found on the beach
turned and made for the water. One
Of the party severed it's head with an
ak and turned the body around. The
headless turtle ran, then stopped and
turned toward the water again.

The Boston woman pleaded and said
petulantly: 81 am quite sure my guests
will be disappointed. Really you are
quite unkind" This Infatuated the
high spirited singer, and she answered.:
"My terms as a dinner entertainer are
$1,000. You may see my manager II
you want me to sing for your guests
Then Melba got her wraps and went

Weed Out the DrOnes.

In every flock Of hens there is GER
tain number Of drones, hens which are
healthy looking and which eat every
thing one will feed them. Even during
the natural season for laying these
hens give one but few eggs, but eat
as ravenously as possible. 1t is this
class of fowls that cut down the profit
from the poultry yard. 1t is estimated
that pullet, one hatched early, will
not pay for herself until she is eighteen
months old. If this is the case then 1t
naturally follows that she should be
carried through another winter in order
to make a profit for her owner. The
longer we are In the poultry work the
firmer is our belief that too much Inn
portance is given to the pullet and not
enough to the two-year-old hen. Az
Stunning that an April Matched pullet
will begin laying in November and lay
through until molting time the follow
ing August, it is plain that her next
period of laying will be at time when
eggs are high in price and the hen In
the best possible condition as to age to
produce them. Take good care of the
hen that is getting through her first
Noting season after she has begun to
lay, for she is the valuable hen Of the
flock.-Commercial Poultry.

Weird Music of Moro.

Moro music is strangely unrhythnic-
al to European ears, says writer in
Everybody's Magazine. 1t consists
mainly of a mOnOtonOus reiteratiOn OF
sound, even a supposed change Of air
being almost imperceptible to an ear
unaccustomed to the barbarous lack of
tone The Moro piano is a wooden
frame shaped like the runners of a
child's sled; on which small kettle
drums are balanced by means of cords
and sticks laid horizontally. These
rather resemble pots for the kitchen
range than musical instruments, but
each is roughly tuned, forming the
eight notes of the scale. Women crouch
ing on the ground before this instru-
ment beat out a wailing sound from it
with shaped sticks, while from larger
kettledrums, hung by ropes from a
wooden railing at one side, two men
accompanied the piano, and one old
woman in the background drummed
out an independent air of her own on
an empty tin pan.

ENGLISH Smugglers.

Smuggling was carried on with great
boldness in England century ago.
When Samuel Pellew was appointed
collector of customs at Falmouth early
last century he found corruption the
chief characteristic of the service. One
day he surprised a party of his own
men attempting to smuggle in cargo
Of wine in broad daylight. Pellew, who
was a conscientious man, so worried
the smugglers that they threatened his
life repeatedly and posted bills offering
q reward for his assassination. One
smuggler, who kept a public house,
erected battery of guns to defend his
Illicit goods, and when a slOOp of war
exhibited what he considered a too in
quisitive spirit actually fired on her.
The vessels guns were too low to re-
ply with effect, but her crew landed in
boats, attacked the house in the rear
and leveled it to the ground.

: COLLAR AND cRAVAT.
Ways In Which They Affect the APP
pearance of the Wearer.

pearance of the Wearer.
Men who do not want to look any
fatter in the face than they can help
have an easy means Of accomplishing
their purpose Not all of them are
aware of the effect that may be created
by the form of a collar or cravat.
1.-The stout man who wants to look as
thin as he can," said haberdasher's
clerk, ought to wear tie of the kind
known as a four-in-hand. Preferably
It should be dark in color and drawn
tight. That carries down the line OF
the face and lengthens it to degree
that tends to make the face look thin
ner.
Another aid to making man look
thin is in the height Of his collars.
Stout men who want to look thin
should wear high collars and closed
ones. Any collar that opens in front
makes one look stouter under nearly
every circumstance. Such collars are
becoming to the thin men. .
1.-The fat man should avoid the kind
of tie that has a horizontal effect. This
will add pounds to his appearance-in
his face at least.
"On the contrary, this cross effect
will make the thin man look stout.
The broad scarfs have little effect on q
mans looks one way or the other.
When he wears them it is the collar
that makes the difference.
Gle should therefore see that he
wears high one that does not open if
he wants to look as thin as possible,
whereas if he wants to seem stouter an
open collar will produce that effect for
him."

Didn't Know That Trick.

keeper Of an elephant.
Very" was the cool rejOinder.

''Surprisin'r' retorted the keeper
"We've learned him to put money in

with half a crown"
The cockney handed the elephant
half a crown, and, sure enough, he
took it in his trunk and placed it in a
box high up out of reach.
"Well, that is very hextraordinary-

one. opening his eyes. 'Now, let's see
him take it out and hand it back"
