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.

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.

Alum baking powders are the greatest menacers to health of the present day. 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.

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. .

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?

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.

If elected, he says he will call congress together in an extraordinary session and reccom mend, first, that we establish a stable government in the Philip pines, like that we are now doing in Cuba; second, give them inde pendence; and third, protect them from outside interference so that they can work out their own des tiny.

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. How do you like the prospect ? —Chicago American. OFF THE TRACK. This means disaster and death when applied to a fast express train.
