InFraooe tbestate has a monopoly
for tbe sale of matches and tobacco.
Nearly 35,000.000 matches were man*
ufaetored in France daring 1897, and
about 50,000,000 were brought from
other countries. About 900 matebee

sumption of matches in France. The
profit upon these was nearly 84,000,*

Tbe disbanding of tbe Union army
began on June 1, 1865, and in 150

why mustering out is now conducted
so slowly Is that tbe war with Spain

Emperor William’s journey has
called out the usual who
find bis trip to Jerusalem forecast in
tbe Bible, naturally in Revelation,
which has been the favorite book of
the seers and mystics ol all times.
Tbe particular verae that i< supposed
to fit Emperor William’s venture is
the second of Chapter xi of Revelation,
and reads: “But tbe court which is
without tbe temple leave out and
measure it not, for it is given unto tbe
Qentle; and the Holy City shall they
tread under foot forty and two
mouths”
Dr. P. W. Alexander of Tifton has
pa lien ted a device for lighting railroad
trains with electricity generated by
tbe movement of the car wheels. It
is so constructed that, while the
wheels are in motion, a quantity ot
electricity is stored for lighting the
train when the wheels cease to turn.
Dr. Alexander is confident that his
invention will prove a success, and
has bad many assurances from rail*
road men that they believe it will suc
cessfully light trains. Tbe doctor has
secured patents on bis invention in
this country, England and France.
**le Naw York going to prove Isles,

Roosevelt yesterday. It is an appeal
that is keyed upon a falsehood, and it
can hardly prove a winner when the
votes are counted. Tbe war was not a
Republican war, nor ao administration
war; it was supported by all citisens,
irrespective of party, and its achieve
ments belong to the whole people. A

Tbe amount of coal consumed by a
vessel daring a voyage depends very
largely upon the speed, for tbe cop*
sumption ol coal increases almost in a
geometrical ratio to the speed. There
are many ships which born from 100
to 300 tone ot coal per day, ths lowest
consumption being when the wesel is
going at a moderate rats. Our men of
war do not consume so much io pro
portion as swWt passenger steamships
which ply between Europe and Amer
ica, for, unless io an emergency, they
are not driven at tbe highest attainable
speed. The ocean passenger steam
ships oftenburu from 2,500 to 3,000
tons during a passage lasting six to
seven days.

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 uSJ a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars
SfXhtoeWen here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: <5 000 00
The dividends amounted to. ■ • • • • ‘ * * *•
How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the prenuums in cadi, and
he did this for fifty-iour 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:
Polio, No. toed March 6 IMS.
Agfe4o. Annual premium, $l6O. 1410 *ss 000

cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,009
ffividend 7 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 01
hi* method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy
holder in any other company in the world.
