A COLORED MAN’S SUCCESS.
9 Has Proved Himself a Capable and
Thrifty Farmer. ‘
Barton F‘. Powell, of Albany, Ga., a
negro thirty-two years old, is one of
the most successful farmers in the
state. Twelve years ago‘he had saved
up $2,000, with which he bought 500
acres of land. He went to work on it
and cleared $2,500 the first year. He
has continued to add to his landed
possessions, paying spot cash for every
farm purchased, and is now the owner
of 2,100 acres of land, from which he
markets .400 bales of cotton annually.
Besides his success on the farm he has
developed‘ the country supply-store
idea, and thus rakes in thousands of
dollars a year. He also owns a COln-.
fortable residence in Bainbridge. His
profits last year were over $7,000. He
says that'the question of social recog—
nition doesn’t trouble him so long as
he can get financial recognition at the
bank—New York Tribune.
. l'loyvers as an Antiseptié.
It is said that the odors of flowers
are antiseptic and that during epideml
ics the workmen~in perfume factories
are exempt from disease. .
Some essences, are good for the
nerves. Ambergris, it is said, has the
power to clear the brain and induce
thought. Musk used in infinitesimal
quantities acts as a tonic. Citron and
clues are soothing to the nerves. Strong
perfumes, as a rule, are stimulating,
while strange, subtle odors incline to
drowsiness.
A chemist believes that each scent
can be symbolized by a musical note,
and a French romanticist says, on in-
haling the fragrance of flowers on
shore and the strains of music borne
on the air from the deck. of a vessel,
“1 could not tell whether I breathed
music or heard flowers.”-—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Knives Wit-h- Nuni'erdrus— Blades.
The most exquisie and valuable spe-
cimens of this article of cutlery are
in the possession of the principal cut-
lers at Sheffield.
Scraps, in describing these knives,
says that there is one, not larger than
a thumb-nail, having twenty blades.
Another, only an inch long when
closed, with seventy blades, all made
in a beautiful manner, illustrates near-
ly all the shapes ever given to knife-
hlades. -
One specimen has two hundred and
twenty blades, all of which are ex-
quisitely etched on the steel with por-
traits, landscapes, and other subjects;
while another has one thousand eight
hundred and forty blades, all provided
.with hinges and springs, and all clos-
ing into one handle—Harper’s Round-
Table.

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 quietly speak for themselves
And simply say, well done.

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 ETN A 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
source, hence it appears from the sworn statement of that company that no il-
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 ETNA 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 earninganything 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 [ETN A LIFE, it would have gained in the year 1896, over its present ex-
perience, $469,138,25.): ‘
