U. Harvey In Atlantic. 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.” Week ondera had a bed time In 1604. 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.

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.
