Life Insurance Textimony.
The Scepter Life Association, of
London, England, which has been in
existence for a quarter of a century,
ha kept two records of the persons
insured, total abstainers being classed
in one section, and all other risks in
another, the so-called general section.
Even from the last named category
heavy drinkers and persons engaged
in the liquor traffic are excluded. The
data, therefore, collected by the com
pany arc intended to afford the means
of comparison between total absti
nence and moderate indulgence in
alcoholic beverages as regards the
effect upon longevity.
The results of the company’s expe
rience during the five years ending
December, 1888, have just been pub
lished. In the general section during
that period six thousand seven hun
dred lives were insured; in the absti
nence section, four thousand five
hundred and twenty-seven, In the
general seetton the actual deaths con
stituted only seventy-six per cent of
the deaths expected, according to the
British actuaries'tables. On the other
hand, in the abstinence section the
actual deaf s were only fifty-seven
per cent of the deaths expected. The
evidence supplied by these statistics
must be admitted to be cogent, if not
absolutely conclusive. It indicates
that even a moderate drinker is much
less likely than a total abstainer to
live to an advanced age.
Another interesting fact is brought
out by the medical examiner of this
life insurance company. He says
that in the examination of many
thousands of applicants he has found
that total abstainers, as a rule, ex
hibit a much cleaner condition of the
tongue, resembling indeed, that of a
young child.
Wo idly Conformity.
The scripture plainly forbids con
formity to the world, and yet many
professed followcres of Christ, in obe
dience to the behests of society, make
conformity to the world a matter of
most punetdious observance- It is,
nevertheless, true that some of the
practices of what is called the '‘best
, society” are positively immoral. No
stretch of charity will enablo us to
believe that all church members who
engage in these practices regard them
as innocent. Many of them do see
their immoral and corrupting charac
ter very plainly, buUiavc determined
where there is a clash between the
authority of Christ and Mrs. Grundy
to obey Mrs. Grundy. Of course it
is useless to admonish such mem
bers, as many a preacher knows by
experience. When the social itch
has gone thus far the ease is always
hopeless. But there are multitudes
of young people who do not see the
true character and tendencies of these
fasnionable follies, and faithful teacli
ing and admonition by pastors and
parents would save many of them.
By pastors and parents. But, alas!
there are so many parents who sadly
neutralize the efforts of the pastor to
counteract such evil influences. —

The Sweep of Victory.
The anxiety of the women about
the grca\ stone at the sepulcher of our
Lord is a good instance of borrowed
trouble. They were crossing the
stream before they got to it; they
were realizing difficulties they were
never to meet. In this the women
are so like ourselves 1 Our troubles
are largely borrowed; we bring them
out of to-morrow and undertake to
shoulder them with to-day's strength
and without any consideration of the
divine help to be accorded in the
hour of need. Strength comes in
the moment of duty; we often have
no consciousness of it until the mo
raent strikes. When the lion came,
Sampson's arm was nerved to meet
him; and when Goliath appeared, to
defy the armies of Israel, David’s
hand was ready' with the sling. In
the exigencies of cervice, the weak
ness of man is multiplied into the re
sources of God; and he who was a
stripling outside the place of duty
becomes a giant in the work to which
God calls him. He is borne on, often
mysteriously to himself, into the high
places of triumph.
The rolling away of the stone was
part of a larger and grander victory.
The thoughts of the women went ito
farther than to the removal of the ob
stacles in the way of their ministry' of
affection; the Lord htrd larger plans,
which would take up and bear
on these minor ones to a grander cou
sumation. The rising from the
dead, which went beyond the con
ception of even his disciples, took in
the rolling away of the stone. So is
it often in the order of Providence.
Hisgreat, onward movements swallow
up our liitte troubles. So it will be
in the great rising, when death itself
shall be swept away in the grand tri
umph, and so wo be ever with the
Lord. Tears, sickness, disappoint
ment, loss of iriends, will be no more!

WHO BUY THE FINE COMBS.
■
What a< Inquiry ut tli Ue.-wlliijj Store*
Bewalid to a Bepurter.
“Arc fine combs as much bought as
evor P’ was the rather startling question
addressed to tlio head of one of the
best known dry goods stores in the
city. The questioned one looked seri
ous, then a broad smile of amusement
spread over his ample countenance and
he answered slowly:
“Well, th"v are not falling into dis
use by any moans. We sell as man? as
a hundred a ’ reek.”
“I suppose the trade is confined to a
certain class of people, is it not?” vent
ured the scribe.
“No, Indeed, that’s where people
make a mistake; all school girl outfits
contain a fine comb, and it is the same
with boys when they are stmt to board
ing schools. So wo have quite a trade
with mothers who pack up this ‘un
mcntionablo’ with jams and cakes of
every description. One would bo as
tonished to see an elegant looking
woman in velvet- and furs walk up to
this counter, buy four or five bottles of
the most expensive perfume, and finish
by adding to her purchases an ivory
fine tooth comb; but such is the case.
Don’t look down on that article of
toilet. Some of our very best custom
ers buy them, as well as the frowsy gen
try who come Saturday nights for Sun
day dress up effects, such ns ribbons
and cravats and clean collars."
“Well,” began the head and propri
etor of an up town store where more
business is done in half a day than
some more pretentious stores do in a
week of Mondays, “we keep on selling
our tine combs at a pretty brisk rate.
We sell a good many to some of our
nicest customers. Some people think
combing the hair with a stiff, fine comb
gives life to the hair and invigorates
the scalp. Thaf is most likely why the
sale in that line does not decrease. But
it ia a mistake. Pine combs create
dandruff. Lot people wash their heads
well and there wil! be no uso for thorn
at all."
Notwithstanding this, some of the
fine combs are quite high priced ar
ticles, some being real tortoise shell,
and some of the daintiest and most ex
pensive toilet sets contain a thin little
tine comb, with as many sharp teeth as
Argus had eyes. The best are of ivory,
and cost from $1 to $1.75. The tor
toise shell combs cannot be cut in such
fine teeth without breaking, so, neces
sarily, they are coarser and less desir
able.
But there is one thing good to re
member, the most com plot o toilet sets
have them.—New York World.
A Movable Hitching Post.
Many curious tilings have been done
by absent minded or thoughtless per
sons since the world began, but it was
only recently that a man bitched his
horse to a train of freight cars which
had stopped momentarily during tho
process known as “making up trains.”
The ; hor of this new idea of hitching
tiad gone to Bast Buffalo to draw a
load of tow. Arrived, lie looked for a
hitching post or a stationary object of
some kind which would answer the pur
pose, but seeing none noticed the mo
tionless freight oars near by, and with
out further ado tied his rig thereto.
He had gone but a short distance
when the cars started up and took the
rig along with them. Their speed was
not great, however, and after a little
stroll with the train the horse was loos
ened and taken back to its driver.—

Progressive Conversation (Limited).
The first conversazione of the season
was given at the Normal school by the
girls of the senior class. The pro
gramme concluded with a promenade,
when the young men made engage
ments with ttie young ladies to talk
about the weather, art, physical cult
ure and other subjects for tho rest of
the evening. Five minutes was the
time allowed for conversation with one
young lady, and forty minutes to ful
fill all engagements made during the
promenade. The conversationalists
were notified when their time had ex
pired by the tapping of Professor Pret
