On Thursday Mrs. 'll'yatt found them motionless in the bowl. floating and ap- parently dead. She tried to rcyivc them before the fire, and, failing. slc threw them in the ash barrel. There the drug store boy found them, and deter- , n-incd to preserve the bodies by filling them with alcohol and mount them he- f re his h‘r’rooni window. He had squirted alcohol down the throat of one or his subjects until there was no room for more, and had half filled the other one when the alligator he had first treat- .e'l began to Show some signs of life. The boy at once placed it close to the store, and it. presently showed it was still worth two dead alligators. Its companion then encouraged the boy by opening one eye and puttingr its tongue out. More alcohol was forced into it,and it was soon “fighting drunk " and my much alive. It wanted to pick a quar- roi with its fellow-prisoner, but that reptile was too tipsy to respond. Then they both fell asleep, and yesterday they were swimming around the bowl as usual. -. The King of Dahomey. The King of Dahomey continues to butcher his prisoners and his subjects in royal fashion. M. Lurtiunc, the French traveller, gives a fearful description of the king's festivals. In front. of hir palace at Abomcy he I‘ll: two great tanks to recolvc the blood of his victims. Iluman sacrifices occur all the year round, but when the memory of Kim: lint-m is to be celebrated tho slaughter .i~' dreadful. On the 3rd of August last, according to M. Lani-inc, the number n: killed was over 700. The 5th ol August was the great festival, and his Majesty himself took a hand in the kill- ing. He came to the place of butchery let a carriage drawn by four fine horses and driven by four ooachmcn. These coachmen were ordered to advance to the centre of the place. They under stood what this meant. They walked slowly. Tears were rolling down their clicuks. The king arose, walked over to them, sabre in hand. and decapitated them, one after the other. The bloody work was continued until the 29th of August. Some of the blood of the vic- tims was carried in buckets and thrown upon the grave of the departed monarch. ‘ Women were also sacrificed. and the king was finally satisfied. He is resting: now, but he will soon begin operations again. ‘ A Strange Event. __ BERLIN, Feb. 12.â€"-A very strange and startling: event took place near Free- port, a small village below here, on Tues- , Mr. John (hump and wife, of Frecport, attended the revival meetings on Tuesday night in the old .‘l-rnnonitc church, nc‘ir Preston. Dur- in: their trip to Preston the moon was t-llll-lll! beautifully and clear. but on their leaving for home was obscured by lit-icy, dark clouds which threw every- thing into darkness. Their horse was ‘ a healthy bay. 12 years of age. They ' iwi got about. halfway home, when and 'dt-nly, without the slightest warning, ilz': clouds burst and immediately every- thing was thrown into dazzling bright- iwsu. era moment the horse stood ' still as it paralyzed with fear, and then with n shudder fell over and was stone «loud in an instant. The neighbdrs hu-lpml the astonished couple home, and tho next morning the horse was buried.

The Royal Canadian offers the following advantages over the London Mutual: 1. Ha building worth $l200 is insured for say $1000, the Royal Canadian isoblig- ed to pay $1000, ifa loss occurs. In such a. case the London Mutual is obliged to pay only two thirds of the cash value, or $800. 2. Ifa. horse worth $00 is killed in the fields by lightning, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay $90. The London Mutual pays only $60. , 3. For a cow worth $30 killed by light- nin;r the Royal Canadian pays $30. The London Mutual pays only $20. For other animals the Royal Canadian pays the full value. The London Mutual pays not more than $5, no matter how valuable the animal may be. 4. In the Royal Canadian animals are insured against lightning while at pasture anywhere. In the London Mutual they are insured while posturing on the premises of the insured only. 5. When articles are insured specificallyE such as musical instruments, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay the full amount insured up to the cash value of the article. The London Mutual pays only two third of the cash value, no matter what the in- surance may be. ' 6. When “ordinary contents" of out buildings are insured by the RoynlCnnndian ALL implements are included. In the Lon- don Mutual only one reaper and one mower are included, no matter how good others may be. 7. When the outbuildings are not joined to each other the Royal Canadian insures under one sum the “ ordinary contents” of all building not cut 00‘ bya distance great- er than 40 tt., the some as if the contents were all under one roof. The London Mu- tual requires a separate sum on the con- tents ot‘ each building, if the distance is more than 12 ft. This is a very important difference in many cases. 8. In the Royal Canadian it is a. part of the contract that standard srmu rnnasnnns may be used without a special permit and without any restriction as to the distance from stocks or buildings, caretakers, pails of water, kind of fuel or direction of the wind. Many of the policy holders in the London Mutual were obliged to run their own risk while threshing last season, beâ€" cause it was found to be impossible to com- ply with the couditions of their permit. When a. farmer pays for insurance he should secure a policy which will hold him safe when it is most required. 9. The Royal Canadian is obliged to pay its losses within sixty days and usually takes much less. The London Mutual need not. pay for ninety days, and since it has become so hard up as to be obliged to bor- row money largely, it usually takes about the full time allowed. 10. The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the statutory conditions only. It has none of the numerous variations against the policy-holder printed in red ink on the back of the London Mutual policy. ll. As to security, the in=pcctor of insu- rance reports that the Royal Canadian has $202,758, the amount he estimates to be. necessary to enable the company to carry out all its engagements with its policy holders. Besides this he reports that it has to the good the $100,000 capital paid in cash by the shareholders, and a net surplus $117,607 making in all a total cash surplus of $5l7,607 to protect its policy-holders against. unexpected contingencies. In ad- dition to these. cash items it has u. subscrib- ed cupitnl of $100,000 not called up. ‘Re- garding the security of the London Mutual the inspector reports that the amount. bf unearned premium it. should have on hand is $290,309. To make up this amountin cash a second call would have to be made on the premium notes for a larg’e amount. lenvinga surplus of only $74,2I8, even if there were no bad debts,nnd this surplus is made up wholly of the unpaid balance of premium notes already heavily assessed. The company reports the losses adjusted but unpaid at the close of the year at $36,- 387, but the Inspector of Insurance finds that the liability for unpaid losses at the end of the year was $20,286. ‘The cash on hand to pay these losses only amounted to $3,911. In view of the foregoing facts farmers will have no difficulty in deciding as to the company in which they should be insured. For insurance apply to S. CORNEIL, Agent, Lindsay.
