PRACTICAL INSIHANCE. ,
The Novel Scheme or Co .Operation In
vented by a 15 oh ton Geniaa.
A form of practical insurance against
want is under advisement in this city,
in which a largo portion of the laboring
people should be deeply interested, says
the Boston Herald. A working-man is
often thrown out of employment and re
duced to great distress because he has
little or no money laid by, and is un
able to provide for his board and lodg
ing while out of employment. It has
been suggested that a people's mercan
tile company might be formed among
themselves which would undertake to
provide board and lodging with land
lords at the rate of - S4, $5 or SO a week,
on such terms that, after one month ol
regular payments, one week's board at
half pay might be placed to the credil
of "the interested party, so that if he
were out of work or sick, or otherwise
disabled, he might not be brought "tc
discomfort because he could not pay hi.c
board. : At this rate in six months a
man would be entitled to one and a half
months' credit for board, and in one year
to three months' credit for board, which,
at half rates, would only cost him the
price of one and a half months' board
anywhere. -
This plan, if it could be carried out.
would be a great relief to hundreds oi
working people who are suddenly disa
bled or compelled to be idle. . It would
be impossible for anybody to fall rapidly
in debt to such a company, and only
in cases of extreme misfortune
would persons . be willing to sur
render their certain insurance o'
food and lodging, which would gro"
larger as the years rolled by. A com
pany of this kind would need tr
have a responsible backing in order In
secure public confidence, but though i'
has never been attempted, it could
easily be conducted on the basis which
is common to similar ' undertakings.
Payments would be made to landlords
the same as now, and the company,
after collecting a twenty per cent, dis
count every week for a month, could af
ford to give one week's credit and d'
business on that basis. The credit.'
would not be transferable except by
consent of the company - of directors
and would be dealt with by them in the
same manner as if they were a life in
surance policy. When such a company
was established its range of restaurant;
or lodging and boarding-houses - would
be such as to meet the wants of all
classes of people. This is a system of
co-operative effort, but it would be
company that could accumulate capital
and increase its resources in propor
tion to its membership. It would thu
be a safe investment for individual"
without involving them in' any persona1
responsibility beyond what their regulai
payments would demand, r
. This organization is not yet in exis
ence, but it is one of the first practicr'
suggestions for self-help which liaf
sprung out of the movement for Chris
tian socialism in Boston,' and when it i'
properly developed and brought' intc
shape it looks as if it might meet a pres
ent and pressing need among peopl'
who are not forehanded and are' not ao
customed to making investments fo
themselves. . . iKJ
JUPITER'S RED SPOT.
it can Be Easily Seen Through a Small
Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.
All owners of telescopes, and their
number has become very large within
the past few years, will be glad to hear
that the strange red spot on Jupiter,
which was so much obscured last sum
mer as, at times, to be invisible even
with the huge Lick telescope, is slowly
brightening again. The appearance,
says the Youth's Companion, is as if a
veil of clouds AvMcti had been drawn
ver it was being' rraclu:i.lly removed. "
This is by no means the only time
that this sirsgnlar pot on the friant
planet has behaved in a similar way
since it first, made its appearance in
1878. Just what the spot is, and what
the changes in its aspect mean, astrono
mers do not yet know. But that it is a
tremendous phenomenon' upon the sur
face of the great world of Jupiter is ev
ident when a few figures concerning its
dimensions are recalled. '
The spot is not less than thirty thou-'
sand miles long and at least seven thou
sand miles wide. In other words, it cov
ers an area more than -equal to the
whole surface of the earth. .
The fiery hue which it sometimes
presents for months together seems
very suggestive in view of the proba
bility that Jupiter is a planet yet in an
intensely heated condition, whose con
tinents and oceans, if it is ever to pos
sess any, have not yet been formed.
When at its brightest the red spot can
be well seen with- a telescope of only
three or four inches' aperture, so that it
then forms a suitable object for obser
vation by amateurs. .
This year Jupiter is particularly in
teresting on account of the distinctness
of its great system of belts, .lying par
allel with its equator. Small tele
scopes show the principal belts easily,
and it is very interesting to watch the
changes that take place in them from
time to time, particularly when it is re
memliered tha t. what one is looking atis
probably vast masses of swirling clouds
in the heated atmosphere of a world
that may be said to be in the process of
creation.

IMPORTANCE OF THE NERVES.
The Complex System Which Connects the
, Brain trltn All Kxtremltles. . (
There are very few persons who have
even a slight conception of nerves as
they exist and of the part which they
have to play in the affairs of life. The
nerves are tbb 'wheel of fortune," and
any little interference with their cogs
means a deflection from the normal.
The nervous system begins with the
brain and ends at every extremity. Lit
tle end3 of systems of complex composi
tions aie the telegraphic and the trans
fer agents of every impression trans
mitted to the central station. Nerves
are simply the exponents of impres
sions, and. are not responsible for what
they transmit, serves start - from the
spinal cord, and incidentally the brain,
and, according to the Baltimore Herald,
arc simply age nts of more i miortant
matters than the various senses which
they subserve. The nerves are subject
to external influences which . are not
regulated on a monetary scale. They
are masters in every sense of the word.
They mi'.y maictr.in their energy for
years, or they may serve their time of
duly and degenerate. AVbile they hold
their sway they regulate life; when they
get tired they are useless. The life
of the nerve is a matter of idiosyncrasy.
One may preserve an ideal for many
years and another for a.i iuany months.
It is the temperament and the indirid
ual which act as a balanee wheel.
Xerves are subjected to ;very iniluenx.-e
of wind and weather, to sensat iunr, f
sight, hearingr. tartis, foe!ia; and
smelling; they have, to atten.l to every
function of the body and . tq regulate
the affairs of life. If one could bear in
mind that impressions li:ira to bo re
ceived and reported it v.viulil ant require
much reasoning to be co;i vi-v.c:l that the
lines of delicate tissue which attend to
this work require a little re;t, as
well as do the other parts of the body,
and thi?y are human as well as ener
getic in the performance of duty. The
nerves of the eye. of the ear, of the
hands and feet, of the no.se an i m uth,
are sensitive lxdies, and convey simply
sensitory impressions which have to be
recorded by the brain. . These impres
sions are photographed and deposited
in recollection and form the basis of
dreams. The nerves of the body, which
have nothing to do with sensation, con
trol the muscles, both voluntary and involuntary,-
and preserve the secondary
part of existence. They make you walk,
move your arms and in general keep
you going. Other nerves, not connected
with the muscles or muscular exertions,
waste their exertions, wastes their en
ergy on the various functions of life.
BUILT A RAILROAD ON FAITH.
The Plucky Trvia Wh.r ;:i:llt the Arkansas
1. :tl liid ;.it,;l L'iimitcierlng.
From South Texas itaufe a man who
built six hundred miles of railroad with
a live-dollar bill and faith, and the bill
.was a borrowed one. He moved up from
Ccrpus-Chri-jti to San Antonio with all
of his pofisessons heaped on a two
wheeled cart, according to the St. Louis
Glebe-Democrat. , -lie got a charter to
build a railroad from San Antonio to
Ark;msas Pass. He graded a mile of it,
throwing a great deal more than one
shovel" of dirt with his own hands. The
receiver of another road loaned this in
defatigable builder enough old rails
for a mile of track. In a distant part of
the' state was purchased an old engine
which had been condemned six years
before and sent to the . shops to be
wrecked for scrap iron. Two old cars
were picked up somewhere else at a
bargain. And that old engine, drawing
those old cars, steamed into" San An
tonio. On engine and cars in bold let
ters were painted in lamp-black: "S. A.
and A. P." 'With one mile of old rail
track and with the equipment of the
old engine and two old cars Uriah Lott
started the Ai-kansas Pass system. There
has been some tall financiering in the
history of railroad building in this coun
try, but there isn't anything which for
dazzling pluck quite approaches the
story of the building of this six hun
dred miles of road in South -Texas. To
the one mile of track three were added
three miles by a dicker for some second-hand
rails which a street car com
pany had bought from a narrow guage
company. ' On this basis a credit was
made with a Pennsylvania rolling mill
for ten miles of rails. . When they ar
rived there wasn't money enough in the
treasury to pay the freight. . But it was
got somehow. Ten miles of track gave
foundation for bonds which built forty
miles more, arid so the system grew into
its present proportions. This man who
built the Arkansas Pass system rode from
San Antonio td Chicago at one critical
period in his enterprise without a cent
in his pocket He had transportation,
but he hadn't anything to buy food, and
he went through hungry.
AN ALARM-CLOCK ROOSTER.
3e Goes Oft More Reliably Than Any
Store Clock. . . .
The Huntsville (Mo.) Herald says
that Bob Murphy, who lives with his
father, Mr. P. C. Murphy, four or five
miles northeast of Huntsville, is an en
thusiastic chicken fancier, and regards
the rooster as superior to all mechanic
al inventions as a time indicator. - One
day recently Bob and his brother Ernest
made up their minds to go with the
Moberly Sunday-school excursion to
Columbia. To do this they had to get
up about lliree o'clock in the morning,
so as to catch the early southbound
train at Cairo for Moberly.
Fearing they might not " awaken in
time, and not' having much confidence
in the alarm clock, Bob went to the
chicken house,' caught his favorite
gamecock, took him to the house,
placed the cock on the head of the bed
stead and retired, sleeping as soundly
and sweetly as an infant child with' a
full stomach. The cock, as if antici
pating perfectly what was required of
him, remained quiet until three o'clock
sharp, when it commenced crowing
lustily, arousing the sleepers and en
abling them to reach Cairo and Mober
y on time. This is no fiction, but a
act, vouched for by a thoroughly relia
ble person.

LEGENDS ABOUT THE POTATO.
i
Queer Stories About Its Introduction
- ; Xnto Knssia and Kngland,.
"When potatoes were first introduced
into Russia by a Mr. Rowland, the ex
act date of the introduction of the
tuber into that benighted country being
a. subject of controversy, but usually
set down at 1791) the people would
neither plant nor touch them. They
declared them to be the devil's fruit,
and that they were given to his Satanic
majesty on his complaint to God that
he had no fruit Hod told Him. to
"search the earth for food." Where-;
upon the poor devil fell to digging in
the earth and found potatoes growing
therein. ' .
A similar legend seems to have .ob
tained credit among the staid British
ers in Berwickshire England. In that
shire the introduction of potatoes is
popularly attributed to Sir Michael
Scott, one known all over' Europe as
"The Wizard of the North." According
to ' the storr Micliael . and the devil
formed a copartnership and took the
lease of a farm on the Mertown estates,
called the ''Whitehouse." Michael was
to manage the farm; the devil the cap-:
ital; the produce was to be divided in
the following maimer:
The first year Miclmel was to have all
that grew above the ground, and the
devil all that grew beneath the surface;
the second . year shares were to be.
divided in jiist the opposite way.; His
Satanic majesty,' filran;:o t . say, was
badly beaten by the .wily. Michael, for
that personage, with tree :.'r,t,i.-:h fore
sight, sowed all the la-id t wheat the
first year and planted it all in potatoes
the second -So the poor devil got
nothing but wheat stubble and potato
tops. How these al snrd le;endn orig
inated no one' seems to know, but the
fact remains that the poa:Aiiry of-both
Russia and England even to this day
frequently allude to potut-jes as "devil's
fruit." f
