Mark Twain’s Last.
A banquet was given in ITa tford
the o.lier evi ning liv the insurance
men in honor of Mr. Cornelius Wai
f-mi, of England. Mark Twain was
called on for a speech and lesponded
is follows;
I aid glad indeed to assist in wi 1
comii g the distinguished finest ot
this occasion to a city tvhose fame as
uti insurance centre has exten le* 1 to
ail lands and given ns the name of
lieing a quadruple hand of brothers
wolfing sweetly hand in hand, the
Colt's arms company making the de
struction of our race easy and conve
nient, our life insuruce cjt zens paying
for the victims when they pass away,
Mr. Battersmi perpetuating then
memory with his shitily monuments,
and our fire insurance comrades tak
ing care of their hereafter.
lam glad to assist in welcoming
our guest—first, because he is an
Englishman, and I owe a heavy debt
of hospitality to certain of his fellow
countrymen; and secondly, because
he is in sympathy with insurance and
•ms been the means of making many
other men cast their sympathies in
the same drection. Certainly there
is no nobler field for human effort
than the insurance line of business —
e.-p anally accident insurance. Ever
since I have been a director in the
accident insurance company I 1 ave
felt that I am a better man. Life
hasseemed more precious. Accidents
have assumed a kindlier upeet. Dis
tressing special providences have lost
half their terror. I iook upon a crip
ple, now with affectionate interest
as an advertisement. Ido not stem
to care for poetry any more. Ido
not. care for jn 1 ties; even agriculture
does not excite me. But. to me, now,
there is i charm about, a railway cot
iision that is u ispenk ible. There is
nothing more beneficent tlqm acci
dent insurance. 1 have sei nan en
tire family lifted out of poverty aim
into affluence hv the simple bool, of a
broken leg. I Imve had people Come
io me on crutches, with tears in then
‘•yes, to bless this ! em fi'-ent i.ist te
flon. In ali my experience of life I
have seen nothing so seraphic as the
'lie look that comes into a Ire-lily mu
tilated man’s face when lie leels in his
vest pocket wi'li Ins r< maiiuug 1 a i *
uid finds his accident ticket all right.
And I have seen nothing so sad as the
look that came mt > allot her splin'ered
ilstemer’s face, when he found he
couldn't colli ct on a wooden leg.
I will remark here, by way of an
advertisement, that that noble charity
which wm have named the Hartford
A cidint 1 .snrauce company is iu>
institution which is peciiliuily to lie
depended upon. A man is bound to
prosj er who gives it his custom. No
man can take out ji po icy in it ami
not get crippled before the year is
out. Nov, ihere was one indigent
man who ha l been disappointed so
often with other companies that lie
had gfowu disheartened, his appetite
left him, he ceased to smile—said lire
was tint a weariness. Three weeks ago
I got lorn to insure with ns, and now
lie is the brightest, happiest, spirit in
thislnid—has a good steady incoim
mid a stylish suit of new ba-dages
every day. ad travels around on a
•dmiter. I will say in conclusion that
my share of the welcome to oilr guest
is none the h ss hearty because 1 talk
so much m>!i<-eiise and I know that I
can say the same for the rest of the
speakers.

False Hair-
If you know of anybody who wears
false hair, it may be judicious to men
tion t> them that Professor Linde
mati announces that he lias discovered
in the l air soi l at the stores ‘‘little
nodosities collected in colonies of
• bout fifty pxorosperms which are
sometimes spherical and sometimes
llattened into discoidg, When heat
Is applied they are transformed into
pxendo-naviceUai or fusiform corpus
cles.” Other people may do as they
please, but as for myself I would ratbr
< r pass onward down the vista of the
years, beyond the purple boundaries
of youth and in the serene placidity
of a passionless old age as bald as a
watermelon than to frisk about with
noiiosites and fusiform corpuscles in
my hair. This information will bo
valuable for the purpose of detecting
persona who wear purchased tresses.
When I go to church u>w and see
discoid psorosperrns playing their lit
tle prunas upon the heads of the wo
men in the pew in front of me, I will
know that, her coiffure is a base capil
lary fraud, and when I see a spheri
cd nodosite parading around the rim
of a man's hat, I will have sufficient
evidence that the man wears a delu
sive wig. The indians ought to know
about this, for then, when one dashes
up to a woman with a tomahawk in
his hand, a knife in his teeth, death in
his < ye, and a yearning for scalps in
his heart, a glimpse of a pseudo-navi
ce’lae balancing itself on its hind legs
on that woman’s waterfall, will induce
him to put up his artillery and go
home in'disgust. What the aborigi
nal American needs is scientific infor
mation.—Max Adder.

Tne latest Western train story
comes from Terre Haute. As the
cars were moving away from that
station the other day a pretty young
woman came from the ladies’ car, and
rushing into the smoking car, franti
cally appealed to everybody to 6top
tlie train. Catching sight of the con -
I net or, she txelaioed piteously, “Mr.
Conductor, do please stop the train;
I’ve left my baby.” The train was
stopped and the baby recovered,
amidst the hearty cheers of the
people on the platform and the
pus-engers, and while the young
mot,her laughed and cried and hugged
her little one, she tried to explain how
the baby was such anew one, that. 6be
hadn’t got used to it.
