Bluff yesterday afternoon, and enjoyed
their usual whist games. There were
seven tables in use. Mrs. James Gol—

noon had been ,pleasa‘ntly spent, Mrs.’

John H. Ferris brought the ladies up
in the Eva L.

Samuel Bennett was fined $5 in the
police court this morning, for going to
sleep on the Stamford pike with a can
of kerosene on One side of him and a
can of beer on the other. He was
brought to the station house in a car-
riage.

A good story is going the rounds of a
young society Miss of this city who at-
tended the recent exercises at Mrs.
Mead’s school. The csachman was to
have called for her but fell asleep and
did not awake until after 2 a. 111. After
waiting in vain until 1 o’clock the
young Miss started to walk to this city,
expecttng every minute to meet her
carriage. She was dressed in the
latest fashion and wore white kid shoes
with unusually high heels. When the
Congregational church was reached
and no carriage appearing she was al-
most ready to give up, the slippers hav-
ing made life a burden, but with the
assistance of her escort she managed to
reach her home on West street. The
sleeping coachman was awakened and
was most profuse in his apologies. The
young Miss declares that another time
she will wait all night before trying to
walk two miles in tight shoes.

THE CAMEL’S HUMP.

The Latest Scientific Explanation of Its
Origin and Purpose.
Where did the camel get its hump?
Be it known that camels did not
originally have humps on their backs.
So says Professor Cattaneo, of the Ital-
ian Institute of Science. The proof
that they did not and the explanation

'of why they have them now is given

by this savant in a. recently published
monograph, which is the result of sci-
entific study of the subject.

The llama is known to have been
used as a beast of burden centuries be-
fore the discovery of the western
hemisphere, but it is asserted that
thousands of years before the first
llama carried a load upon its back the
camel had been domesticated and was
used for the transportation of burdens.

It is upon this point that the Italian
savaut rests his theory as to the forma—
tion of that animal’s hump. In the be-
ginning, he says, the camel, like the
llama, was straight of back, but a hun-
dred centuries, perhaps, of making a
pack animal of the camel have brought
about the change. At first the skin
grew loose upon the camel’s back. Then
there and upon its knees the skin grew
thick and callous. Soon nature began
to pad this burdened putt with fat and
muscle: then for
tions heredity did its work; little by
little the hump grew, until it finally
acquired its present size.

The use of the camel in the desert

places of the world also played its part .,

in the formation of this portion of its
anatomy. For, being forced to go with-
out food for days ”at a time, nature
came to the rescue of the camel and
providently stored these humps with
fat which should nourish the beast
through its periods of ps'ivation.—1\'ew
York Journal. -

A BICYCLE UNDER WATER.

Used by a Diver \Vhen Searching the Bot-
tom of the Sea.

Another use has been found for the
bicycle. Having conquered the land,
the all—pervading wheel has invaded
the water and has proved that it can
be of use to a diver while searching
the bottom of the sea. In diving opera-
tions of the future a part of the outfit
of the man who dons a diving suit and
explores the bottom of the sea in
search of lost treasure, parted cables,

anchors or wrecks frequently will be .

a bicycle. ,
David M. Tulloch, a practical diver
of a dozen years’ experience, who has
been employed by the United States
Government in many operations along

the Atlantic coast and who has also,

worked in South American waters, was
the first man to use a bicycle in sub-
marine work.—New York World.

She Raised the Boys.

Nine men sat in an unbraken row on
one side of an Alley “L” car the other
morning. Near the door sat one lone
woman. Five women were standing.
swinging on to straps, as the train
pulled out of Congress street terminus:

At 12th street two more woman
came in, standing before a row or men
who couldn’t see over their newspa-
pers. ,

There was a mischievous twinkle in
the eyes of the solitary young woman
sitting near the door.

At 18th street the train slowed up
with a squeaking and grinding of
wheels. The gates rattled, and with a
swing a young man in a fawn-colored
coat, with a bunch of carnations in
his buttonhole, stepped into the car.
He was just reaching for a strap, whom
the young woman at the door touched
him on the arm.

He looked around inquiringly.

The young woman was standing,
vith a perfectly serious look in her
face.

“Won’t you have this seat?” she
asked in a beautifully modulated voice.

With his mouth open, the young man
in his astonishment sat down.

But it was only for a moment. In
the roar of laughter which followed
every woman in the group found a
seat—Chicago Record.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETBI’!‘

The “Orient ” and “Saracen ’
Are THE wheels of to-day.

At Saunders,’ N0. 12 North Main
Is where they hold full sway.

He carries every part in stock
And treats you all alike,

No trouble if of him you buy
Your Ninety-Seven Bike.

At coasting or at racing
They’ve always stood the peer,

The reason is, they’re fitted with
The famous “Pitch line gear.”

The crack-a-jacks all ride them,
You know the reason why,

They’re just the class of riders
Who know what wheel to buy.

Prize winners are these wheels:
And ahead they’ll always be,

Just watch them in the races,
And for yourself you’ll see.

And when the victory’s over,
When time prize has been won,

They’ll quiet-1y speak for themselves
And simply say, well done.

Yours Until Death,

Stock and Mutual Management

j Compared.
lETNA LIFE all CONNECTICUT MUTUAL.

HE comparative merits of the so—called “purely mutual” system ofananagel-
ment for life insurance companies and of stock management are
clearly shown by the following comparisons. We have selected the
largest proxy-mutual company in the New England States (the Connec-
ticut Mutual, and compare it, with the jETNA LIFE, the largest com-

pany with stock management.

The Connecticut Mutual, by its annual statement filed with the Insurance
Commissioner of this State, January 1, 1897, shows that it has $525,093.79 more
than its entire surplus, invested in real estate. (It increased its holdings of real
estate in 1896, $1,108,702.75). Its taxes repairs and expenses on real estate in
1896 amounted to $298,675.90, or 842911.31 more than its Entire income from that
source, hence it appears from the sworn statement of that company that no in-
come was realized from its surplus, nor from the $525,093.79 (the excess of real
estate over surplus), but, on the contrary it was behind from that source, as
shown above. $42,911.31. .

Of the ZETNA LIFE’S surplus ($6,711,502.25), it had on the first of January
last, as shown by its statement filed with the Commissioner, real estate amount-
ing to $486,348.25, leaving of its surplus to be otherwise invested $6,225,154.00.
Its net income from real estate amounted to $8,150.82. Its surplus not invested
in real estate earned in 1896 5 1-10 per cent, or $317,482.85, to Which add its in-
come from real estate as above, makes $325,633.67 earned upon its surplus alone.
The Connecticut Mutual, on the other hand, instead of earning anything on this
part of its assets, shows a loss, as above stated, of $42.9II.3I.

These unfavorable investments affect the dividends of that company. (Had
the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favorable results, in the above particular,
as the ETN A LIFE, it would have gained in the year 1896, over its present ex-
perience, $469,138,25. ):
