In bia address to the Harvard stu dents the other day, the Rev. Di. Edward Everett Hale laid down three rules which he said bad been the greatest help to him io life. They were: Be in the open air all you can, rub against the rank and file dally, and every day bold intimate conversa tion with a auperior. Brig. Gen.

Mrs. Fridenberg, president of the Wednesday Club, has been deserted by her bnsband, whose olfactory nerves were too sensitive to stood the odor of t>e "fruit.” Onions proved stronger than love. Mrs. Frid onberg preferred total separation from her husband to an absolute divorce from her favorite and fragrant bulbs- The court! have refused her alimony. Onions Must now assume a place for the first time in the long list of legal and thoroughly justifiable causes for a severance of the marital ties. The Now Orleans Times Democrat tolls a story of a woman who bad no idea of money. It happened one day that her eyes fell upon a magnificent ring and ehe coveted it. It cost 11,000. But what was 11,000 to her in catnpaf loon with the ring? Os course her husband consented to the pa rebase. What else could a dutiful, affectionate husband do! But be tried this method of educating his wile concerning the great price of the ring. He instructed his banker to send her the SI,OOO in small pieces—pennies, dimes, quarters. Io came the money, bagful after bag* ful. She never had such an idea of SI,OOO before When the money was piled before her it alarmed her; the price of the ring went up a hundred fold and was considered at once an ex* travaganoo which she of her own op tion abandoned.

They had been visiting and while wway had been given such delicious homemade biscuit that the memory at them still lingered in the mind. Why shouldn't they have such things them selves! The mistress of the house de dded that they should, if ehe had to make them herself. What good wife would not bo willing to take a little trouble to please her husband! Soin this virtuous terne of mind she repair ed to the kitchen, and there she stirred up her biscuit in the most approved fashion, shaped them daintily and put them in the pan. But she was not ac customed to this work, and it was not strange that she should forget some of the ingredients. It was the baking pow der, a small but somewhat important i item in the construction of light bis cult She did not once think of it until the biscuit had been in the oven a few momenta. Then, as she stood gazing admiringly at the outside of the range, which contained this precious proof of her culinary skill, she suddenly ex claimed: "There, I forgot all about the* baking powder." That would have been a heartbreak ing thought to moat housewives, but not to this one. She was a woman of expedients. “Never mind,” she said as she hur riedly thought over various ways of mending matters; “those biscuit have only been in a short time, and I will just sprinkle the baking powder over the top, and it can melt and soak in. ” And she did, but the baking powder did net The housewife herself tells this story of her cooking now with great glee, while her husband, being a patient wan, never says a word about his part of it in the eating.—New York Times HAVE JUST RECEIVED AT The Old Reliable Furniture House of L.

HTCATALOGUE FRKB BY MENTIONING THIS PAPER. The Greatest Ever Known. THE —- MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE GO. OF NEW YORK. Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars olwffch are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: agnoooo Mr. Banks was insured for *"”’*“*”12’02800 The dividends amounted to ' Paid to the estate - .417> 0a8 °0 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-four years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. ’°° o, Age 40. Annual premium, |l6O. Life 16 000 Original insurance in 1845, Dividend additions paid in 1898, Amount of death claim 41T,826,00 54 Premiums paid by insured * p,ow * Realized to estate over premiums paid $8,388.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2|) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually irorn >o,u v at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. • * Tlie dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety*four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
