if bu.siness men would only remem-
ber how deadly it is to take one's mid-
day meal alone they would always dine
Ise company. The solitary eater is al-
ways tempted to take too large mouth-
fuls and swallow them too quickly, and
either to( eat too ro,ueli or too little.
Thee who eat in company have to
devote a certain a.mount of time in
talking and attending to each other's
wants. This makes the period be-
tween the mouthfuls longer, and gives
caore time for digestion, Conversation

ionally goes to tha altar ungloved neu.st

gloves are "going out," as •the saying
is. For all occasions of ceremony
gloves are imperative as a part of Lull
dress, and for most mineremonious
socasions they are worn as a pxotec-
L pretty hand is quite' too pre-
cious a possession to be sacrificed, and
nothing ruins it so quickly as constant
exposure to wind and sun. For sum-
mer wear the English greatly affect
fabric gloves. Many ol these of fin-

EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORTs
alt will be seen from the above !fig-
ures that the progress of the company
goes on uninterruptedly. The new
polioless issued, and the amounts as-
sured. under them, exceed those of any
previous year.
The amount received. for the pur-
chase of annuities is also greater than
ever previously reported The sums
paid io death claims are 'considerably
in excess of the corresponding amounts
for the previous year, but the death
rates are still well within the expecta-
tions onowhich the several tables of
premiums are based.
Niotwitlaata.ading this greater outgo,
the total funds have largely inereased
darling the year, and now aggregate
considerably more than §44,500,00.
• W,hile. not neglecting the important
home connections, the consolidation of
the agencies outside the United King-
dom goes on steadily, and the COM,
pany are beginnIng to reap the fruits
. .
of the policy of careful extension which
they have been working out steadily
for many years past.
In viesv of the company's expa.nsion
and of the-la.rge amount of work—both
responsible and routine -- now con-
sequently falling upoia the members of
Lhe board at the hea.r1 office, the direc-
tors think it desirable to increase the
numbers on the board through the ad-
dition of another member.
The company have now already
passed the raiddle period towards an-

A detective says: "The way of the
transgressor is hard. to find."
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased. portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu•
tional remedies. Deafness is eauced by an in.
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Euetachian, Tube. VI hen this tube gete inflam-
ed you have a rumbling viand or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
ks the result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken ont and this tube restored to its nor-
mal condition, bearing will be destroyed for-
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca-
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One HGadred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by HaTaCatarrh Cure. Send for
