Cheapest Place to Live.
“Tbe cheapest place In tbe world Is
Antioch," said a globe trotter. “I
once passed a winter there, and all It
cost me, tbough I leased a fine house
anil kept three servants, was $4 a
week. Antioch Is In Asia, on the Medi
terranean. Tbe climate is all right for
winter—ns good a winter climate as
Monte Carlo, Palm Beach or Los An
geles. For my bouse I paid $5 a
month rent. My servants I paid 60
cents a week. Mutton cost 8 cents a
pound. Eggs were 2 cents a dozen.
Chickens were 6 cents apiece. Fish
cost a fifth of a cent a pound. Tbe
finest of fresh fruits and vegetables—
fresh fruits and vegetables In Febru
ary—were so cheap that they were not
soid In quantity. Yon got all you
wanted for so much a week. All I
wanted for my household cost me a
quarter weekly. An American resi
dent of Antioch told me that he and
his family lived comfortably on $175 a
year.”—New York Press.
The Danee and Britain.
John Ackworth, an English dialect
novelist who made a special study of
tbe dlalectB of Lancashire, Yorkshire,
the east coasts and nlso of the Danes,
shows that the Danes by their early
landings and sojournings In England
have Influenced tbe language of the
east coasts of Britain to an extraor
dinary degree and that the Danes and
tbe British, In spite of apparent dif
ferences, are one practically in speech
and language as well as In the rela
tionship of blood. “So strong Is tbe
English of the cast coasts of England
Impregnated with Dnnlsb," John Ack-
wortli once said, "that I am sure that
If a fisherman from tbe east coasts of
England wore to be wrecked on the
shores of Denmark and he would only
apouk In his true native dialect that
fisherman would be able to make him
self understood."
The Chriatlan Bra.
The Christian era was suggested or
devised by Dionysius Exlguns, a Ro
man monk, who, In 527, began Its use
and proposed that all public and private
documents should be dated “in the year
of our Lord." It did not come Into gen
eral use In Frnuce until the eighth cen
tury nor In England until July, 810; In
Spain It was not adopted until the
eleventh century; In Portugal It was
made legal In 1415; In the empire of the
east Is was established by royal edict
In 1453, a few weeks before the fall of
Constantinople.
Where Circulation Is Foeble.t.
Those who lead a sedentary life find
the circulation feeblest about the nose,
lips and temples, and those parts of
the face should be energetically knead
ed several times a day. When the
pores become distended the find, Invis
ible dust In the air enters and clogs
and blackenB them. Mere ordinary
face washing, oven when warm water
and soup are used, Is not sufficient to
remove tho dirt In the pores, but the
vigorous acid of tho lemon will cleanse
and carry off all such unsightly blem
ishes.
Car. ot the Feet.
The feet should be bathed at night,
and this treatment Is an excellent
sleep producer. The water should be
salted. The feet should be scrubbed
nil over with u nailbrush, which will
often prevent the formation of corns,
while hard spots on the soles may be
reduced with a piece of fine emery pa
per or fine file before tbe feet ore
placed In water.
Nut B.eulr Hutched.
"Have you anything to say why sen
tence should not be pronounced’ upon
you?" nsked the Judge.
“Nothing, your honor, except that I
hope you will make allowance* for the
fact tlint the lawyer who convicted me
pad a louder voice than the one who
defended me.”—Milwaukee Sentinel
Flower..
The Instinctive and universal taste of
mankind selects flowers Tor the expres
sion of its finest sympathies, their beau
ty and their fleetingness serving to
make them tbe most fitting symbols of
those delicate sentiments for which
language Itself seems almost too
a medium.—Hillard.
A Study Ih Anatomy.
"Muinma, what part of the body is
tbe trombone?”
“No part of tile body, my dear.”
"Yes. It Is. because it says In the pa
per here that Inst night while returning
from the symphony concert Professor
Grldel fell and broke his trombone."
They say that money does not bring
happiness. This Is an experiment, how
ever, which every one wishes to try
for himself.
mm-Brnmeu-u-m
It Is costly to he a member of tbe
British parliament, but some ancient
expenses are spared tbe modern mem
ber. An order dated 1U4U runs thus,
“Those who go out or the house In a
confused manner to forfeit 10 ebtl-
llnge.” Others enact that “all the mem
bers that come after 8 (the house uiet
at 8 o’clock in tbe morning then) to pay
1 shilling, and those who do not come
the whole duy to pay 5 shillings, those
who do not come to prayers to pay 1.
shilling, such members as come after
9 o’clock to pay 1 shilling to the psor?”
etc. Still more expensive was It for
members to go eat of town without
permission. In 1#J4 a penalty of £10
was Imposed ppon, every knight and of
£5 upon every dtlson who should make
default in attending the honse, end *
penalty of £40 upon every member “as
aboil desert the service of tbe honse for
the specs of three days together (not
having had leave granted him by the;
house), and he shall be sent for In cus
tody and committed to the Tower.”

Why Fruits Turu Bed.
Fruits turn red when they ripen be
cause of a wise provision of Mother
Nature. It mokes the fruit conspicu
ous to birds and other animals, and
thus secures the dispersion of the seed.
If tbe fruit were of the same color as
tbe leaves It Blight easily be passed
over. When the fruit or seed Is Incon
spicuous, through either the want of
color or the small fixe, dispersal It ef
fected without tbe eld of animals, as
In the case of the dandelion, whose
seed Is canted about by the wind, or of.
the balsam, the seed of which Is eject
ed by a sort of spring. The colored
fruits, such as die grape end the cher
ry, are furnished with succulent coats,
Which provide food to birds, who In
their Impatience often swallow the
seeds or stones, which may pass
through the animal's body without
change. Seeds may thus be conveyed
not only for considerable distances on
land, but ales tram continents to ocean-
la islands, which, may In this way ac
quire a new vegetation.
Some Louden dull.. ; ■ \ .
London has many curious dubs, such
as the Utopians, whose motto is “Servs
God and be merry,” and the Froth
Blowers, whose members are said to
be bound to curse and swear eyery
time they enter the club. There, are
also many unregistered clubs which
have no headquarters and take out-no
licenses, and there are also many clubs
whose members ere manifestly drawn
together by some common bond of sym
pathy. Among these tbe London Dally
Express enumerates tbe following:
Tbe Boz club (admirers of Charles
Dickens). ,
Tlie '05 club (amicability and tbeiarts).
Tbe Royalists (guillotines anti dia
monds). ‘ • ;
Tito Castaways' club (resigned naval
oflieers).
The Lost Legion (for empire pio
neers).
The Ways or Madeira. ;
The people of Madeira are as harm
less as their country. The stronger
meets with no snakes and nyed not
tear mosquitoes; neither has: he to
take any precautions against being
molested in the most out of (lie way
parts. Everywhere civility, politeness
and pleasant faces will greet him.
The prices asked are grotesque, often
five times what will be finally accept
ed. Some Qnd the absence ,of fixed
prices abroad a great nuisance, but
tbe bargaining In Madeira Is; so good
humored and can be made so amusing
that tbe change of custom In this re
spect Is rather refreshing.
A Picturesque Woddinu.
An Interesting wedding recently took
place In England. The bridegroom was
a fireman, and accordingly /the: mem
bers of tbe local fire brigade attended
the wedding. They formed up outslde
tho church and, made an ;.nreh -with
their axes, under which the bride and
bridegroom walked. Then the firemen
drew the happy couple home In a car
riage, blowing their whistles as they
went through the streets.
German Silver.
One of the oddities of nomenclature
Is that the combination Of metals
knowu as German silver contains no
sliver In Its composition and Is of Chi
nese and not of German origin. It
was Introduced Into Europe by the
Germans, and for some time It was not
generally known that they had simply
borrowed It from the Chinese.
A tale of horror was told by marks
of human blood in the home of J. W.
Williams, a well-known merchant of
Bac, Ky. He writes: "Twenty years
ago I had severe hemorrhages of the
lungs, and was near death when I be
gan taking Dr. King’s New Discovery.
It completely cured me and I have re
mained well ever since.” It. cures
Hemorrhages, Chronic Coughs, Set
tled Colds and Bronchitis, and Is the
only known cure for Weak Lungs.

R ‘ ManT'Ttartfhlr compiles are saying that they will pay their San Francisco losses a„d continue
In business. We are glad that such is the case, and we do not seek to belittle the stiength or any of
our competitors.
. When it comes to the Continental, you should remember—
First—We can pay our San Francisco losses out of the margin we left in our secuilty values
when we made up our Statement on January 1st; that is, what we owned January 1st is inventoried in
our list of Assets for at least two million dollars less,than we could sell for. OD u ,
Secohd—Our Reserve for Unearned Premiums on policies in force (Reinsurance Reserve, as it is
sometimes called) is $6,157,738.2.1, being $160,000 more than the premiums writen during the year 1905
No other company can make such a showing, as you will see if you examine the Spectator or Standard
Chart.
Third—We operate under the New York State Safety Fund Law (explained in circular enclosed)
and, have, under that law, $600,000 on deposit with the Superintendent of Insurance in Albany for the
benefit of policyholders not involved in a conflagration. . ,
Fifth—Every ASSET Item In our Statement is undervalued, and every liability item is over-stated.
Sixth—As a matter of fact, the Continental could pay its San Francisco losses in full today and
still show a net surplus In excess of eight million dollars.
Seventh—When you write busines now you must, if you care to protect your customer, consider
the stability of the company. Another great fire may take place before some of the “hard hit com
panies are able to recuperate. The Continental stands strong beyond all Question, and you cannot
make a mistake by giving its policy to your customers.
Yours very truly,
HENRY EVANS,
President.
Enclosure. J
P. S.—On the day of the fire we had over two million dollars of cash in bank—so we sell nothing
to pay our losses.
For policies of this great company, which would be reliably even if three
more such as the San Francisco fire should come this year, apply to
