The auditor's report of the llfo compa nies transacting business in Nebrasha for 1887 shows the Mutual Reserve 1ms nt the close of its third yonr in the statoovor $1,000,000.00 more business in force than any Old Line company ; nnd , after deducting the amount repre sented by four of thcso companies , the Mutual Reserve carries moro than the combined business of the other twenty companies as represented nt the close of from ton to twenty years' business by them. The report further showsthat'tho cost per $1,000 in the Mutual Rete'rvo hns been loss than ono-hhlf that of any of said companies. This no doubt accounts for the howl and light by the agents of the opposition companies ns made upon the Mutual Reserve. The business men who mnko up the policy holders of this popular company nro not mis led or influenced by unauthenticated statements and anonymous literature peddled usually by the agents of little companies shut out of the race and dis tanced nol only by the Mutual Reserve but by the larger companies represent ing the olll line system of life insurance.

Talk with an engineer in the Mem phis Appeal : "A headlight ain't of so much use as people think it is. Why , on a moonlight night I would just as soon not have ono at all. " "Why ? " "Well , it's a curious thing , and I don't know the philosophy of it , but tno moonlight being the greater light de stroys the clToct of the headlight almost entirely , and if it wasn't for its being reflected from some station platform o.- car'on a side track you wouldn't know -t was lighted at all. Why , many a lima I have gone out on the running bonrci. there on the hide of the engine around to the front to see if my headlight was still burning , " Tmipposo then that running on n moonlight night is easier on you than dark nights , because you have a better light and can bee further ? " said the re porter innocently. "Well , it might bo if I was running onaprairio , but in this part of the country wo are all the time running through woods or strips of woods where the shadows of trees are thrown across tlio track , and these fehndows are so strong and black that they can't bo dis- bipated by the brightest kind of head light. You can't tell the difference bc- Uveon a shadow nnd an object to save your lifo hardly ; you have either struck it or passed it before you could tell which it was. " "Well , that's a now one on me , " eaid the reporter. " 1 always felt much safer when I was traveling on a moon light night. " "Any engineer will tell you that that is true , " was the reply. "What's that ? " asked another en gineer , who had just brought in a heavy freight train and was on his way homo. Engineer No. 1 explained. . "That's so , " assented the newcomer. "A moonlight night is the hardest of all nights on an engineer's nerves and the most dangerous to run on. I would rather run on any other kind of anight. A man can bo decoivod'so easily. I don t suppose there is an engineer yet that has not been scared by taking the moon for an engineer's headlight , when it was either rising or setting and low on the horizon , about tho'hlght nn engineer's headlight would bo , and that's a thing that happens to the oldest engineers , too. They como around a curve sud denly , and there isanothor engine right close onto thorn at least , that's what they think and it startles them , bo- caugo they nin't looking out for it. When a horse is on the track in front of you nnd running nwnyfrom you ho looks exnctlv Hko n man you can't ' toll that ho isn't until ho turns his side to you. "Speaking of being deceived , " con tinued engineer No. U , " 1 had about as singular nn experience once while I was crawling around Lookout mountain on ono of the divisions of the Nashville , Chattanooga & St. Louis , pulling a pns- songor train into Chattanooga , as anyone ono over hnd in that line , but that wasn't a moonlight , but a dark , clear night Hko this. It's a pretty crawly place there ; the road at ono place is cut out of the solid rock of the mountain's side for some distance , nnd they kept since they hnd that bad accident thero-a watchman to see that no rocks or tress foil down from above. Wo hnd alwavs to slow up at that point , and 1 had put on air brakes and was sliding along easily , when all of a sudden 1 saw a lamp swung rapidly across the track ahead flagging mo down , you under stand. There was a ravine back of us , which wo had just passed , and nt the point wo then wore It was u tumble of several hucdred fcot only before wo would fall Into the river , if wo did fall. It didn't take mo long to stop , you can hot. Then the flagman ran closer up still , Hugging mo down until ho got within a few fcot of the engine , when ho jumped to ono side nnd disappeared down the side of the mountain. " "What did ho do that for ? " asked the reporter , half expecting a "soil" of some bort. "Well , it wasn't a flngmnn nt all ; it wasn't anything but a large fox , and it was the reflection of the headlight in the animal's eyes. You know how a cat's eyes shine when you bring a can dle un to 'em in the dark , and ns this fox came up to the engine ho dodged from side to side like an animal will do , and it looked to mo just like a lamp swung ncross the truck , nnd then , too , I kinder expected to bo flagged there at any time , you know. " The Story ofn Hustle. "Talking about bustles , " said the father of a family , suddenly arousing himself from deep meditation and slap ping the Star man on the knee. They hnd been speaking for the past twenty minutes , nnd the last thing mentioned before that was something about a grinding monopoly. Hero's nn advertisement I had pro- for the Star : ANTED A servant without a btistlo or other artificial enlargement of the nn- nknny ; no objection to carrying cold victuals homo in a basket ; nn bustlu need apply. "My wife wanted to know if I was dropping back into barbarism , nnd de clared that the tyranny of man would stop at nothing. Why would I attempt to abridge the civil rights of servant girls by depriving them of their consti tutional privilege to wear bustles ? Her woman's sense of justice was shocked , and she declared that I would not dare suggest such a thing if women had votes ; and when I suggcrtcd the election frauds that might bo practiced by women with bustles full of ballots , she began to cry , and said my cruelty was inspired by envy , because she had just that day bought a new extra size ! )9-ccnt ) bustle , that made her dress stand out just lovely. I might have it if I wanted , and pho would continue wearing the old ono that was twisted all on ono sideband made her look like a chicken going across the wind. She enlarged upon the subject by declaring that I bought to deprive poor servants of their principal source of comfort the rudder that kept them upon their coun-o. I surely would not deprive a poor girl of her bustle. "And I listened to all this and moro. Then I led bur gently into the kitchen and-unhooked the bustle Honesty had left hanging behind the door. Honesty is the name of our servant girl that was. There was something prophetic in the choice on her christening day. I quietly unhooked Honesty's bustle from the door and emptied from it a half pound of tea , six of the babies' most useful articles of clothing , one towel , two pounds of sugar , three sil ver spoons , a bottle cf pickles , a beef steak , a uox of tinted cosmetic and a pair of stocidngs. My wife fainted dead away after she had hecured the rouge and hid it from my sight in the black folds of her own dress. Now she weeps when I como homo to dinner , nnd de clares that we'll never get a servant who is willing to dispense with a bustle for the consideration of $16 per month , unless Mr. Goodmakor , the missionary , can got us ono , way off there where they eat folks and don't wear any clothes at all. Then she covers her face with her hands and says it would never do for a borvnnt to answer the door bell dressed that way. Meanwhile , by n laborious mathematical process , I have been calculating the capacity of Honcstv'u bu&tlo , and lind it to hold just three half pecks and a pint , which is ample storage room , if used only for transportation and not permanent stor age , for half my regular family supply of groceries and provisions , not to men tion dry goods and notions.
