The Philadelphia Record says: •‘Major General Wheeler’s preference for an army life to the life of a mem ber of congress seems likely to result in the lose to the country of his ser vice as a representative in tbe federal legislature' 1 Men of "Fighting Joe’s" stamp are needed in the house, and he could serve his country better in stick ing to civil life than in the inglorious activity of military routine duty in time of peace. He was not cutout for a mere ornamental, epuletted appen dage of a temporarily inflated military establishment.” The Pittsburg Dispatch *aya : "Gen. Shafter’s opinion of th® Cubans in re lation to self government is probably based sipon the theory of Col Robt G. Ingerioll, that "if a colony of New England preachers and Yankee school ma’ams were established in the West lodes, tbo third generation would be seen riding horseback on Bunday to th,®bock fights” But there is nothing to Indicate that either Gen. Shafter’s or Col. Ingersoll’s opinion are infalli ble. At least, Gen. Wood is succeed ceeding much better with the Cubans than Gen. Shafter did.” Th* more we know of Dewey, the larger he looms up. It was be, after all, who mad*, the plan for turning back Camara’s fleet after it bad started lor the Philippines. 'lf the coast of Spain were threatened,” he cabled the department at Washington, "tbe squadron of tbe enemy would have to return.” Then the flying squadron under Watson was formed, and Cama ra sailed back home again. Command* er Mori of tbe Japanese navy said of Dewey recently that he was in tbe claw with Lord Nelson, and added: “But b* is not only a great naval offi cer; be is also a great statesman’* And it seems that Commander Mori is about right.—Savannah News.

This result he has reached after 14 months of laborous experiment ing. He la now carrying on experiments, which he believes will be successful, for the similar production of emeralds and ruble*. Mr. Schoen! assert* that tbe only differ ence between hi* products and those of na ture is one of hardness, his sapphire* hav ing about two-thirds the natural resisting power. However, a* color and brilliancy are the important requisites of such pre cious stones, used for ornament, tbe in ventor believes that bls products wUI find a ready sale at good prices. Mr. Schoen! is not rich and has been enabled to carry on his experiments by money earned through the invention some years ago of new processes of manufactur ing some of the colors employed in the celebrated Geneva enamel work at one fifth or one-sixth their former cost. Sev eral Geneves* gentlemen interested in his work have also lent him kindly aid. He is now anxious to establish a laboratory foe the practical manufacture of his gem*, but find* that Geneva capitalists demand too large a share offthe prospective profits.

A gentlemap who was sailing up and down the coast last summer in his yacht told me that one day he put into Glouces ter and had no sooner come to anchor than he noticed that all the flags in the town were flying at half mast. He had had no opportunity to hear the news for two or three days and was inclined by the half masting of the flags to suppose that some public man had died in the interval. Per haps some general had fallen in the war, he fancied. He lost no time in going ashore and making Inquiry. Then he learned that all those signs of mourning were for a private soldier belonging in ( Gloucester who had died in the service of the country and -whose body had been brought home for burial. The yachtsman was much impressed by this incident. As a man who had traveled abroad he felt sure that in no other country would the flags of a whole city be half masted a* a token of mourning at the death of a com mon soldier, and he was proud of the pub lic sentiment, at once intensely patriotic and sincerely and unconsciously demo cratic, which prompted such an honor.— Boston Transcript.

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 of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: Mr. Banks was insured for 15’222'22 The dividends amounted to ..12,028.00 Paid to the estate • • • $17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-tour 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. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan. Original insurance in 1845, $5»000- Dividend additions paid in 1898, : Amount of death claim I Z’??2’22 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.00 Realized to estate over premiums paid SB.BBB 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 from $5,000 at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premium* 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 nis 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.
