WHY you should insure in the
“OLD RELIABLE”
MANHATTAN LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY
of New York.
HENRY B. STOKES, President.
First —It Is An Old Company.
Other things being equal, an old compapp is to be pre
ferred, as it has had a chance to prove itself and make a record
by which it can be judged. “The Old Manhattan” has made
its record, to which todav it points with pride.
Second —It Is A Clean Company.
In the fifty years of its existence, no breach of scandal has
been directed towards it; no questionable practices have been
entered into by its management, and no examination of its
books or accounts has shown cause for criticism.
'Third—lt Is A Just Company.
We judge a company as we do a man. What are its morals?
When other companies deserted the Southern Policy-holder,
and used both the money he had contributed towards their
success, and their influence to destroy him, the Manhattan
stayed firm as a rock —“Justice” was their motto.
See what a distinguished statesman of Georgia says:
* STATE OF GEORGIA,
Treasury Department. Atlanta Ga., May 12, 1891.
Why Mr. Hardeman had a policy in the Manhattan Life.
Maj. Jos. H. Morgan, Special Agent, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: As agent of the Manhattan Life Insrance Company of
New York, it affords me pleasure to say to you that my father was in
sured iu your company, and by reason of the late war, he was unable!
to reach your com; any and pay his premiums as they fell due; and
that after the cessation of hostilities, my father having died during
tf* war, your company has paid to my mother the amount of his
policy less the amount of premium unpaid.
* Yours trulv,
(Signed) R- L’- Hardeman, State Treasurer.

THE NEWS-HERALD.
Most persons reverse this natu
ral order when they plant their
grounds. They first ask about the
kinds of roses, the soil for snow
balls, how tar apart hollyhocks
shall be planted. It is as if the
artist first asked about the color
of the eyes and the fashion of the
necktie; or as if the architect first
chose the color of paint and then
planned his building. The result
of this type of planting is that
there is no plan, and the yard
means nothing when it is done.
Begin with the plan, not with
the plants.
The place should meau some
thing. The home ground should
be homelike, retired and cozy.
The school ground should be set
off from the bare fields, and should
be open enough to allow of play
grounds. It should be hollow—
well panted on the sides, open in
the interior. The side next the
highway should contain little
planting. The place should be a
picture, not a mere collection of
trees and bushes.
EDUCATIONAL.
Hints on Rural, School Grounds.
PROF. BAILEY, CORNELL UNIVERSITY.
HOW TO BEGIN A REFORM .
We will assume that there is one
person in each rural school district
who desires to renovate and im
prove the school premises. There
may be two. If this person is the
school commissioner or teacher, so
much the better.
Let this person call a meeting
of the patrons at the schoolhouse.
Lay before the people the necessity
of improving the premises. The
co-operation of the most influen
tial men of the district should he
secured before the meeting iB call
ed .
Propose a “bee” for improving
the school grounds John Smith
will agree to repair the fence, or
will plow and harrow the ground,
if plowiug is necessary. Brown will
sow the grass seed. Black and
Green and White will go about the
neigborhood with their teams for
trees and bushes. Some of these
may be got in the edges of
the woods, but many of the bushes
can be picked up in front yards.
Others will donate their labor to
ward grading, plauting and clean
ing up the place. The whole thing
can be done in one day. Perhaps
Arbor day can be chosen.
THE PLAN OF THE PLACE.
This is the most important part
of the entire undertaking—the
right kind of a plan for the im
provement of the grounds. The
person who calls the meeting
should have a definite plan iu
mind, and this plan may be dis
cussed and adoptod.
Begin with the Fundamentals,
not with the details. If an artist
is to make a portrait, he first
draws a few bold Btrokes, repre
senting the general outline. He
“blocks out” the picture. With
the general plan well in mind, he
gradually works in the incident
als and the details —the nose, eyes,
beard.
Keep the centre of the place
open. Do not scatter the trees
over the place. They will bo in
the way. The boys will break
them down. Moreover, they do
not look well when scattered over
the whole area. When an artist
makes a picture with many people
in it, he does not place the per
sons one by one all over his can-
vass; he masses them. Thereby
he secures a stronger effect. He
focuses attention, rather than dis
tributes it.
The same trees and shrubs can
be used to make either a nursery
or a picture. But it is more diffi
cult to make the nursery, and to
keep it in order, because the trees
grow one at a place in the sod,aud
they are exposed to accidents.
Go to the black-board. With
four lines represent the borders of
the school ground. Indicate the
school house and the outbuildings.
Existing trees may bo located by
1 small circles. Now you have the

facts, or toe fixed points.
Now put in the walks. The first
fixed point in the frontdoor. The
other fixed point is the place or
places at which the children enter
the grounds Join these points
by the most direct and simplest
curves possible. That is all there
is of it. Iu many, or perhaps most
places, the house is so near the
highway that only a straight walk
is possible or advisable.
Next comes the planting. Let
it be irregular and natural, and
represent it by a wavy line. First
of all, cover up the outhouse.
Then plant heavily ou the side, or
in the direction of the prevailing
wind. Leave openings in your
plan wherever there are views to
be had of fine old trees, attractive
farm homes, a biook, or a beauti
ful hill or field. Throw a hand
ful of shrubs into the corners by
the steps and about the bare cor
ners of the building.
You now have a plan to work to.
It has been the work of five min
utes at the blackboard.
Perhaps some persons object to
so much shrubbery. They look
upon it as mere brush. Very well,
then use trees alone. But do not
scatter them hit-or-misß over the
place. Throw them in at the side.
Give room for the children to
play, and make the place a pic
ture at the same time. Three or
four trees may be planted near the
building to shade it, but the heav
iest pianting should be on the
sides.
In many cases the school yard
is already level or well graded and
has a good sod, and it is not nec
essary to plow it and re-seed it. Iu
the bare or thin places, scratch up
the ground with an iron-toothed
rake, apply a little fertilizer, and
sow more seed. Weedy lawns are
those in which the sod is poor. It
may be necessary to pull out the
weeds; but after they are out the
land should be quickly covered
with sod, or they will come in
again. Annual weeds, as pigweed,
ragweed, can usually be crowded
out by merely securing a heavier
sod. A little clover seed will of
ten be a good addition, for it sup
plies nitrogen, and has an excel
lent mechanical effect on the soil.
The ideal time to prepare the
land is in the fall, before the
heavy rains come. Then sow in
the fall, and again in early spring
on a late snow. However, the
work may be done in spring, but
the danger is that it will be put off
so long that the young grass will
not become established before the
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED
by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseaed portion
of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed yon have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal con
dition hearing will he destroyed

caused by catarrh .which is nothing

drv, hot weather comes.
We now come to the particular
kinds of plants t<> use. One great
principle will simplify the matter:
the main planting should be for
foliage effects. That is, think
first of giving the place u heavy
border mass. Flowers are mere
decorations.
Select those trees and shrubs
which are the commonest, because
they are cheapest, hardiest and
most likely to grow There is no
district so poor and bare that
enough plants cannot be secured
without money for the schoolyard.
You will find them iu the woods,
iu old yards, along the fences. It
is little matter if no one knows
their names. What is handsomer
than a tangled fence row ?
Scatter in a few trees along the
fence and about the buildings. Ma
ples, basswood, elms, ashes, but
tonwood, pepperidge, oaks, beech
es, birches, hickories, poplars, a
few trees of pine or spruce or hem
lock—any of these are excellent.
Vines can be used to excellent
purpose on the outbuildings or on
the schoolhouse itself. The com
mon wild Virginia creeper is the
most serviceable.
It is impossible to grow many
flowers in the school ground under
present conditions, for what is
everybody’s business is nobody’s
business; and then, the place is
neglected all through the sum
mer. .

Is Father on Deck?
A number of years ago Captain
D. commanded a sailing vessel
from Liverpool to New York, and
on one voyage he had all his
family on board the ship Cne
night, when all were quietly asleep,
there arose a sudden squall of
wind which came sweeping over
the waters until it struck the ves
sel and instantly threw her on her
side, tumbling and crashing every
thing that movable, and awaking
the passengers to a consciousness
that they were iu imminent peril.
Every one on borad was alarmed
and uneasy; and some sprang from
their berths and began to dress
that they might be ready for the
worst. Captain D. had a little
girl on board, just eight year old,
who, of course, awoke with the
rest.
“What’s the matter?” said the
frightened child.
They told her that a squall had
struck the ship.
“Is father mi deck?” said she.
“Yes, father’s an deck.”
The little f hing dropped herself
on her pillow again without a fear,
and in a few inrnnonts was sleeping
sweetly again iu spite of winds or
waves. It was enough for her to
know that her father was in
charge.—The Watchman.
DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results ot throat and lung
troubles. What shall you do? Go
to a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible. If not
possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that
has been introduced in all civilized
countries with success in severe
throat and lung troubles, “Bos
chee’s German Syrup.” It not
only heals and stimulates the tis
sues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays inflamation, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s
rest, and cures the patient. Try
one bottle. Recommended many
years by all druggists in the world.

The Republican Banking Trust.
Here are some questions upon
which the laboring man will do
well to ponder before voting for a
continuation of the present ad
ministration.
It is a woll-kni wu fact that the
power iu private or corporate
hands to control the money for a
people is the power practically to
enslave them.
This power has been given by
the Republican party into the
hands of the banks. Moreover,
the Republican party, represented
by the administration, has practi
cally formed a gigantic bank trust
that possesses power to issue two
thirds of all thb paper money of
this country.
You are not to get your money
from your government, but from
the millionaires and the private
bankers as they may see fit to is
sue it to you.
These millionaires forming the
banking trust can contract and
expand the currency at will. They
can give you as much or as little
as they may desire. You are not
under a government by the many,
but under a government by the
few. The Republican government,
represented by Mr. Hannah, Mr.
Rockefeller and Mr. McKinley,
thus delegates its power for rqle
and ruin to private parties.
