85 AND STILLfAT IT.
WHAT New ENGLAND GRIT DID FOR
‘ ONE BOY. ‘
Charles L. Tiffany Was but a Country Lad
15 Years Old When He Began Business
in a. Village Store—Now He is at the
Head of the Jewelery Trade of tllieWorld
On the 15th of February, in the his-
toric year of 1812, in Danielsonville,
Windham County, Conn, was born
Charles Lewis Tiffany. founder of the
house of Tiffany & Co. Mr. Tiffany. is
now 85 years old. '
The first fifteen years of this remark-
able man's life werespent much as the
average country boy’s, in working
from time to time on the farm, and
during the Winter months attending
the little red schoolhouse. \Vhen Mr.
Tiffany was only fifteen years of age,
his father, Comfort Tiffany, opened a
little country store in Daniel-
sonville, giving his son Charles com-
plete charge, and it was in this humble
and modest way that the great jeweler
made his start in life. In the capacity
of village storekeeper Mr. Tiffany
spent the following ten years of his
life, making frequent trips to New
York City to buy merchandise for his
store, and where he formed many val-
uable business acquaintances. In
1837 he decided to move to New York
and establish a business there for him-
self.
CHARLES L. TIFFANY.
Borrowing $1,000 from his father, he
entered into partnership with John D.
Young, a former neighbor and school-
mate, who had come to New York
some six months previously.
By 1841 the business had grown to
such proportions that it was decided to
send .0. member of the firm abroad to
purchase stock from the foreign mar-
kets. To-d-ay this would seem a step
of little or no importance, but at that
time it was analmost unheard-of thing
for an American to ,send a buyer
abroad, and it was considered a bold
and hazardous busineSs venture. But
this idea, whichrgwas Mr.-I}Tiffany.‘“s,
like all other of his ideas, proved to be
full of wisdom and success. . .
In 1850 the Paris branch of the
house was established. rAs‘ in the case
of the New York house, the Paris
branch rapidly developed, .and soon be-
came one of the largest jewelry eStab-
lishments of France.
Mr. Tiffany can look back with sat-
isfaction at the results he has accom-
plished not only in the mercantile"
world, but in the mental as well, forit
is largely due to his, efforts that the
minds of the general public have be-
come as well educated in the fine arts
as they have—New York Times,
4,000 DUELS A YEAR IN GERMANY.
1,000 a Year in France and 2,759 Duels in
' the Last Ten Years in Italy.
More duels are fought in. Germany
than in any other country. Most of.
them, however, are student duels,
which culminate in nothing more seri-
ous than slashed checks or torn scalps.
Of all German university towns little
Jena and Goettingen are most devoted
to the code. In Gocttingen the num-
ber of duels averages one a day, year
in and year out. On one day several
years ago twelve duels were fought in
Goettingen in twenty-four hours. In
Jena the record for one day in recent
times is twenty-one. Fully 4,000 stu-
dent duels are fought every year in
the German Empire. In addition to
these there are the more serious duels
between officers and civilians. Among
Germans of mature years the annual
number of duels is about one hundred.
Next to Germany, France is most
given to the duelling habit. Of the
serious duels, France can boast fully
1,000 from New Year's to New Year’s.
The majority of those are among army
officers. More than half of these re-
sult in wounds; nearly 20 per cent in
serious wounds.
Italy has had 2,759 duels in the last
' ten years. and has lost fifty citizens
by death on the field of honor.-——New

“Things seldom turn out as we ex?

fully. “W'hen I first went to "the city
I made up my mind that I would live
in a suburb and lead a double life.”
“Sir!” exclaimed the lady to whom
he was talking. ,
”l merely meant I would have two
suits of clothes. I would be a swell
in the city and a farmer in the vil-
lage." _
“And didn’t this plan work?”
“Not the way I expected it to. It
wasn’t six weeks before I acquired the
firm impression that I was a farmer in
the city and a swell in the country.—

Stock and Mutual Management
, om pared. ’
IETNA LIFE all CONNECTICUT MUTUAL. . "
HE comparative merits of the so-called “purely mutual” system of manage-
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 Connecé
ticut Mutual, and compare it, with the ZETNA 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, nr$42.911.31 more than its 0 tire 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 PETNA 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 amounts
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 $42.9ll.3l.
These unfavorable investments affect the dividends of that company. (Had
the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favorable results, in the above particular,
as the ZETN A LIFE, it would have gained in'the year 1896, over its present ex-
perience, $469,138,25.): ‘ .. '
