They are money-making concerns, intended to benefit thotr originators, oficers, and manngers, While thelr real object ts dis- gused under various benevolent and mutual ald titles, ‘Their membership conststs of por- sons who have no community of interest, who are not aequalnted with one another, who ure not actunte? by benuvolent motives in jolning or paying assessments, but who are governed solely by self-interest. * The bond of union Js so weak that, should the socletles full to fulfill the large promises of thoir agents, should the mortality Inerense and the assessments manitiply niore rapidly than was anticlpated, and thé members find int it does nol pay to remain and there Is no Joss attending withdrawal, they will drop out in dargo numbers. ‘The indetiitencss of tho contract, tho misrepresentations and large pioaiies of agents, and the wneertalnty of wenullts in ease of death, depending: upin the voluntary contributions of an tneertatn num Der of members, are productive of dissathsfac- tion and disnppolntment., ‘There are not the benevolent considerations which exist in varlous orders, societies, ard brotherhoods to hold the members together, and these 8o- cleties do not have the obligations of n deit- nite mutual contract, as in regular life-in- surance companies, to compensate them for withdrawals, “The suecess of these societies cannot be predicated upon tha experience of afew years. Tho rate of mortality ohne from year to year, ‘The average nge of the members ad- yaices, aid cannot be offset by the necession’ of new members; and, fn consequence, the rate of mortality Is certaln to Increase, ‘The ussessinents for death losses soon become a burden which the members, disappointed In heir expectations of cheap insurance, will no longer bear. ‘Those who. are insurable will withdraw and geek Insurance elsewhere, ‘Those whose health has become tmpalred, and who are no Jonger Insurable, will he cuarpelleal to remaln or forego tha benefits of any ind of insurances, ‘The result Is, the In- solvency of the soclety, and Irreparable loss ta those who are most'in need, of Insurance.

A series of highly Interesting experiments with dogs has been lately made by Prof, Mott, and In the Scientific American of Feb, 7a detailed account is given. ‘The disclos- Ures are so unplensaut and startling, coming home, as they do, to every one, that we be- eve they should bo given the greatest pub- Helty. ‘Tho effort Dr. Matt is making to pu- tify our articles of kilehen use should re- celva the support of every thinking man aud woman.

If avery purveyor of domestic supplies will carefilly consider the result of Dr. Mott's experiments, as detailed in the Scientific American, one of the Hrentust, it aut the Breatest, of theso evils will be cor- rected, Dr, Mott says: “The introduction of alum In flour, for Vvarlons purposes, lias been o trick-of the baker for the past 100 yenrs.

In his paper the Doctor says: “1b was with dificulty I found asuituble place to conduct tho experiments sv that the animals would not disturb the nelghborhood; but, through the court- egy of the Commissioners of + tho Dock Departnrent, secured 9 shel on thelr premises, foot of Sixteenth street and East River. ‘This shed 1 had completely remodeled into a suitable house, having the dimenstons of about 16x14x13 feet.

The fibrine imperfectly digested, and the — oxperl- monts were Unportant, as show!ng that alum can check the digestion of so ensify di- gested 9 substance as fibrine. They indicate, therofare, how dangerous it is to Introduce these to salts Into our stomachs, If we do not wish to exeite Indigestion and dyspepsia, Furthor experiments showed that the digest- Iva power of the gustric julco fs endrely dle- atravedt by alum, so far as its power of dis- solving the more indigestible substances, Nko the boiled white of an egg, fs concerned. Dr, Mott thon dotermined to learn whether alumina could bo found in the various orguns of the body if a dog was fed with hydrate of alumina. Ie found a considerable quantity of the stuff in the blood, Ilver, kidneys, and heart, The Doctor goes on to deseribo the differ- ont symptoms exhibited by these dogs as they passed through almost every phase of animal Agony suntil hey were left in a complete state of physical prostration. To those especially interested In the dutalla of this subject the urticlo (nu tho Selentijic <tmerican supple- aront will pive niost complete information, and wo will spare the sympathetic reader the meeoane of tho sufferings of thesy dumb rites, Dr, Mott’s conclustona, after making theso experiments, are of vital interest to every one who elther mnkes or eats bread, and thorefore concern atl, “Thess experiments,” sali he, Fogently, while speaking before’ tha American Cheml-' eal Socloty, “clearly denoustrata that the salts loftin the bisenit when a cream of tartar baking-powder la used are perfeetly harmless, but when an alum baking-powder, js used are very dangerous, for In every casa where dogs were fed on biscuits made with: such powders the dogs were mace very sick, , causing them to vomit profusely, Jose all! energy, and show weakness In their Hinba.?
