The tenement districts, it is said, are apparently suffering very little from the ailment, while the more well-to-do districts are characterized by sneezing and shivering. Persons who are able to afford an abundance of the proper kind of clothing and to avoid the bad weather are bearing the brunt of the epidemic, while the poor ly clad thousands who have to rush around whether it rains or shines are enjoying fairly good health. A plan is now being discussed at Savannah which contemplates a com bination of the Savannah Volunteer Guards, whose record goes back nine y five years J the Chatham Artillery, the oldest artillery battery in the United Slates of continuous existence, being 112 years old, and the Georgia Hussars, or Troop A, of the First Georgia Cav alry, whose history goes back to colon I*l times. Thp Guards have, perhaps, the finest military armory in the south. The union-cl these three companies in one club would give the institution a membership of nearly six hundred. During late years consumption Las become a much greater scourge in Germany, says the Pall Mall Gazette, and at the Emperor’s suggestion hos pitals and homes for patients suffering from diseases of the lungs are to be founded in those parts of the country where the aisease is most prevalent. In Wiesbaden and the surrounding coun try the cases of whole families dying of this complaint are of frequent oc currence, and a hospital for consump tive patients is to be founded in the Taunus mountains, in the high, dry district, as soon as the necessary funds are collected. \ The Philadelphia Record says: "Corp!. Tanner, ex commissioner of pensions, has made the suggestion that crippled ex-Confederate be ad mitted to the Northern soldiers 1 homes. This ie a practical benevo lence, and aw improvement on the sentimental recommendation of Presi dent McKinley to pay honor to the Confederate dead. As the South helps to pay whatever money is expended bw the federal government in the sup port of soldiers'homes, the proposition bagjji justice as well as of mercTfffT willingness to help extin guish every remaining ember of the past sectionalism.” ""■■■ 1 " A MONOMANIACAL witness, : W Haw Hia Fkaae of I.unaer Waa Da volopeE Unriau a Trial. "That calls to mind a queer expert- i once of my own," raid a lawyer who had listened to a story. "Some yearn ago I defended a fellow for murder in a > little southern town, and the worst wlt nem wo had against us was an old Ger man who was a ataokbuilder by trade. A stack, by the way. Is merely another • name for a big cbitunoy. ! "The old fellow was perfectly bonesl and gave his evidence in such a clear, i straightforward manner that I felt my client was doomed unless I could think of some way to break him down. While I was cudgeling my brains a friend whispered to me to ask him bow high he could build a stack. 'What do you ' mean?’ 1 asked, in surprise. ‘Never i mind,’ said my friend. ‘Just slip in , that question and see. ’ "So at the tail end of the cross exam ination 1 paused, as if struck by an aft erthought, and said, ‘You are a stack builder,! believe?' ‘Yes, sir,' replied the witness. ‘Well, sir,’l continued, ! ‘about how high can you build’— I never got any further. A swift, inscru table change flashed over the German’s I face, and be rose excitedly from his chair. ‘As high as der sky I’ he roared. ‘So high dose angels come around it like birds I' ■ "In five seconds be was raving. You tee, the man was a monomaniac—sane ' on every subject but one, and my friend happened to know his weak spot. It Is i hardly necessary to say that his evi dence in regard to the homicide was promptly ruled out. by the judge, and aS there was no other witness of impor tance my man was cleared. The rascal should have been hanged and would have been but for the lucky reference to the stack."—New Orleans Times- Democrat. TWO OF THEM. Private O'Mara* Tert Retort to His I’aaecommoAatia* Coleael. Here is a story tbld of Patrick O’Mars, a private in the Ninth regulars: Not long ago ho went to the colonel, who was a severe disciplinarian, for a two weeks’ leave of absence. "Well," said the colonel, "what do you want a two weeks’ furlough for?” Patrick answered, "Me woife is very sick, and the children are not well, and if ye didn’t mind she would like to have me home for a few weeks to give her a bit of assistance.” The colonel eyed him for a few min utes and said: "Patrick) I might grant your request, but I got a letter from your wife this morning saying that she didn’t want you home; that you were a nuisance and raised the devil when ever you were there. She hopes I won’t let yon have any more furloughs.” "That settles it. I suppose I can’t get the furlough then?” said Pat. "No, I’m afraid not, Patrick. It wouldn’t be well for me to do so under the circumstances.” It was Patrick’s turn now to eye ths colonel as be started for the door. Stop ping suddenly, he said: "Colonel, can I say something to yez?” “Certainly, Patrick. What is it?" "You won’t get mad, colonel, if 1 say it?’! "Certainly not, Patrick. What is it?” "I want to say there are two splendid liars in this room, and I’m one of them. I was never married in me loife.’’— New York Tribune. She Studied French. Four young women were walking to gether on Charles street today and en gaged in animated conversation. " What do you think I done today, Clara?” said one. "I translated 40 pages of French exercise. Wasn’t that fine?” "Fine,” said the other, “I should say it was. I wish I bad done as good. I only translated 20.” Comment is unnecessary, but one feels like asking, Is this a sign of the times? Is what Mme. Butterfly called "United States American English” be ing neglected for the so called accom plishments? Ono can forgive the woman who, gazing at some renaissance lace, bland ly remarks, "Ah, that is the ‘Renny sant,’ ” but for the.girl who assiduous ly studier French and murders English meanwhile, as Macbeth murdered sleep, there seems no possible excuse.—Balti more News. What la a Signature? When Constable was requested to put his signature to one of his pictures, he answered, “Why, my dear sir, it is signed all over. ” Let the preacher pre serve his personality, and his sermon also will be "signed all over. ” A num ber of Thackeray’s pen and ink sketches were sold not long since in London, and, although they bore no monogram or signature, no one disputed their gen uineness. A true preacher also cannot be hid. That which John had seen and with his own bands handled of the word of life could never be to any other person just what it was to him. A preacher who puts himself into his sermon is as readily detected in his sermon as any where else. Even his apprehension of truth, his way of looking at it, his fash ion of delivering it, is all his own. Let us repeat it. His sermon will be "signed all over.” —Homiletic Review. Perish the Thought!

It tas 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 • •• 85,000 00 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 1 for his benefit. Here are the particulars: 1 Policy No. 1,288. Issued March 5,1845. Amount $5,000. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. , Life Plan. Original insurance in 1845, $5,000 Dividend additions paid in 1898, 12,028.00 Amount of death claim $17,828,00 54 Premiums paid by insured ■ 8,640.00 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 ,(24) per, cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from ss,ot© at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for tbe insurance. , . Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier joL the Greenwich- Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of hinetyyfour.' He appreciated the Eower of compound interest, and nie wisdom is exemplified by the result -o:' is method of investment —a result that has bya policy holder in any other company in the world.
