§4 Agent, Insure Thyself. An insurance agent whose buccinator iraselesbad been developed during a ^ ong and highly successful business ca­ rreer to a most astonishing degree of - hardness, and whose fertility of imag­ ination was equaled only by his fluency of expression, while professionally en- , igaged in the impenetrable forests of (' Bouth America, fell in one day with a h&ji ntige boa constrictor. ' "Tell me, my saurian friend," asked he, " have you as yet effected an insnr- ee upon your very valuable life ?" The boa constrictor merely wiggled its fail slightly and winked nervously with left eye. The insurance agent, how- . ever, regarded these actions as implying « a negation, and briskly continued: " The act of insuring one's life in an entirely reliable company -- such as the Great , Chizzlum, which I have the honor to represent--is a duty that every individ­ ual owes to his family or friends. You, my dear serpent, lead a life of constant danger, and, although the character of the risk will compel me to charge you somewhat more than the usual , rates, think, think, my good sir, what a sense of acquiescent reliance in the decrees of Providence will accrue to you when yon know that, come what your large and interesting wife >. Und family always will be comfortably : { provided for. Pray permit me to con­ sider the matter as settled and forthwith to make out an application in your name for a policy." Having listened patiently to this long discourse, at ite conclusion the boa constrictor turned its regards calmly npon the insurance agent, and in a gen­ tle voice observed : "You, I presume, long since have effected an insurance ' upon your own life, and now feel the calm pleasures that you hold out to me." " N-no," replied the insurance agent, somewhat disconcerted by the turn given to the convert-Jon; 41 N-no, I regret to state that I have not. The fact is-- "The fact is," said the boa constric­ tor, taking up his unfinished sentence, "that you have committed a capital er­ ror. My lite, I trust, will be prolonged for yet a considerable period; but yours, I opine, is worth but a few moments' purchase." Having said this, the boa constrictor crushed the insurance agent to a jelly, licked him all over, and swallowed him whole. Moral.--A map does well to adjust his own affairs before meddling with the affairs of others.--Philadelphia Bulle­ tin. lire Insurance and Incendiarism. The Chronicle, an insurance journal published in New York, states that dur­ ing the past nine months over $79,000,- 000 worth of property has been de- Utroyed by fire in the United States and Canada. In the United States the losses - were $52,336,900, and in Canada $27,- : ' 858,400. During the corresponding pe­ riod last year the losses in the United States amounted to $47,466,200, while the losses in Canada were only $7,587,- *900. The increase of losses in Canada, it will be observed, was altogether out of proportion to the increase in this country, which is accounted for by the fact that the St. John fire occurred dur­ ing the latter period. It is not easy to account for the great increase of losses 'during the present year upon the C assumption that all fires have been ac­ cidental. It is highly probable that tliere has been a good deal of incendiar­ ism. The increased pressure of the hard times has supplied additional mo­ tives to incendiarism to persons whose property has been liberally insured, and who are not overstocked with conscien­ tiousness. The Chronicle says that lat­ terly many insurance companies, in their business rivalry, have disregarded the moral character of their risks, "and taken risks which hitherto could not at , any rate whatsoever have been placed up­ on their books." May it not be, too, that they have often insured property at its full value, or even for more than it was worth? The Chronicle does not say that such has been the case, but it is likely to have been the case at a time " when the companies were making ex­ traordinary efforts to acquire new busi- s. ness.--Chicago Times. the women cannot recover, and the other two have an even chance of living or dy- Tnnneling the British Channel. Operations connected with the subma­ rine tunnel have already been com­ menced on the other side of the channel, several pits having been sunk to the depth of about 110 yards. At the same time the French and English committees have definitely drawn up the conditions of working for the route. The property of the tunnel is to be divided in half by the length--that is to say, each company Will possess half of the line, reckoning the distance from coast to coast at low tide. Each company will cover the ex­ pense of its portion. The general work of excavation will be done on the one hand by the Great Northern of France, and on the other by the Chatam and Southeastern companies, the two latter having each a direct route from London to Dover. All the materials of the French and English lines will pass through the tunnel in order to prevent any unnecessary expenses and delay of transhipment, as in England and France, railway companies use each other's lines, and goods can pass from one line to another without changing vans. It is understood that an arrangement will be established for a similar exchange of lines between all the English and Continental railway companies when the tunnel is completed. The tunnel will belong to its founders. At the expira­ tion of thirty years the two Governments will be able to take possession of the tunnel upon certain conditions.--Lon­ don News. Three Sisters Poison Themselves. Fear of great disgrace led three sis­ ters--Lydia, Carolina and Lina Fonda-- residing at Gloversville, in New York, to seek death. Thev had been arrested din a charge of stealing articles belong­ ing to a tenant who occupied part of their house, and they had given bail to appear for trial. A friend, upon enter­ ing the house, found the three women apparently defd; one lying insensible upon a bed, another upon a lounge and a third upon the floor. A physician Was instantly summoned, who, upon coming, declared the women had taken poison. Antidotes were given them, Which restored all to consciousness, but, in the opinion of the physician, one of Stoatland's Pigeon-Boost.' The most timid and harmless animals become formidable and even terrible when congregated in great numbers. They take no notice whatever of man, and in their congregated capacity become his foe. A herd of buffaloes on the plains is a terror in its march; a drove of rats in Northern Europe attacks all liv­ ing things that come in its way, and even a flock of pigeons, if big enough, be­ comes a great nuisance if not a danger. A pigeon-roost is a big thing, and they have a big pigeon-roost on the Auglaize river, near Dodson's camp-ground, Cam­ den county, Mo. It is an annual roost, and disturbs the quiet of the people of the section. The newspaper man finds it difficult to edit and print his paper in a pigeon-roost. Millions of pigeons cover the trees, and sometimes break them. down. There is a frightful con­ fusion of noises in this pigeon pande­ monium--the crashing of limbs, the roaring of multitudinous pigeons, and the cracking of shot-guns sweeping the birds down by hundreds and thousands all night long. Nobody can sleep in such an uproar any more than they could amid the thunders of a raging battle. Besides this, there is a darkening of the air by the birds in their flight, which makes continual cloudy weather. But fche people of this pigeon-roost are mak­ ing the best of the situation. The pigeon has become a leading article of commerce in the country. Last year over 100,000 pounds of pigeons were shipped from Stoutland, and the pigeon yield* this year promises to be as good. But everything else stops in the pigeon-roosting season except the newspaper.--St. Louis He- publican. Feeding the World. * The shipments of groin to Europa, on Saturday, by steamers alone, approached half a million bushels, and sailing ves­ sels during the week took much more. Contracts have been so heavy of late that several lines have sent for extra steam­ ers. Thus far this season the shipments have exceeded those of last year nearly 40 per cent. The croo being by 25,000,- 000 bushels greater than in any previous year in the history of the country, the demands of Europe can be readily sup­ plied. The increased facilities for send­ ing fresh meat to Europe has caused the shipments of beef this year thus far to reach a value of $8,082,036, against only $1,755,101 for the same period last year, and of mutton $113,500, against none in 1876. The live sheep sent in 1877 are valued at $61,110; in 1876 at nothing. Live cattle this year at $2,060,950; in 1876 an insignificantly small quantity. The bulk of these have been sent from New York, although Boston, Portland and Philadelphia have mode contribu­ tions. The total shipments of butter from Jan. 1 last to Sept, 29 consisted of 12,250,690 pounds, agaiust only 5,919,- 073 last year, and of cheese 89,650,350 against 53,706,530.--Neioark Adver­ tiser. To Cure Dyspepsia or Nervous Debility. Change your diet and manner of liv­ ing; drink neither tea nor coffee; never drink at meal-times; after every meal, or during the meal, dissolve half a tea- spoonful or more of cayenne pepper in half a glassful of milk and drink it; eat plain food; never taste pastry of any kind. If you are troubled with sleepless nights, do not try to promote sleep by taking stimulants or opiates; they do more harm than good; take a sponge- bath just before retiring, and, if you are unable to do it yourself, get some one to rub you well with a coarse towel; if you wake in the night and cannot get to sleep again, get up at once, not lie until you "get nervous thinking about it;" take a foot-bath; rub your limbs well to get up circulation; drink a glass of cold water. Do not expect to cure yourself in one week's time; have patience, and try one month. In bathing use your hands to apply the water, it is much better than a sponge; soften the water with borax, it is more invigorating than salt water.-- New York Tribune. A Sew Historical Incident. "What ho, there !" said Queen Eliza­ beth to the yeoman of the guard. "What ho, without." "There is no hoe there, your Majesty," observed Sir Walter Raleigh, bowing with exquisite courtly grace. "Beshrew thine inso­ lence, saucy knave," responded the Vir­ gin Queen, "and yet I do bethink me thou said'st truly. No hoe, indeed, but a sad rake, I fear me." And she gra­ ciously extended her royal hand to the knight, in token that she had not taken his jest amiss. This little circumstance is not mentioned in some of the histories. --Boston Traveller. Practically Out of the World. Some half-dozen Scotchmen through here this week on their way from McKenzie's river, which is 1,300 miles to the northwest from Duluth, and which runs into the Arctic ocean. They went to that barren country some ten years ago from the islands to the north of Scotland, by ship, direct to Hudson's bay, and until they got to Fisher's land­ ing, on the St. Paul and Pacific railroad, on their return, they had never seen a railroad. They knew nothing about the Franco-Prussian war; in fact, they had been practically out^of the world. ---Du­ luth Minnesotian. ______ THE New York Sun claims that 90 per cent, of the meat slaughtered at the abattoirs of the city is unfit to be eaten, because the cattle have no chance to rest and recover flesh after their journey from the West.
