LIFE INSURANCE

Working

Life Insurance.

(from the Evening Mail.)

The revolution that has taxen place in the btsiness of Life Insurance during the past dozen years or so is strikingly suggestive. In 1873, only ten years ago, the amount of Life Insurance business done in Canada amounted to $21,053,000 —that is, policies of insurance were eifected on the lives of Canadians to that amount. Of that large business, Canadian companies only secured $4,608,000, while American companies secured $14,740,000, over three times as much. Since then, however, a very great change has been brought about, and to-day not only are Canadian companies ahead of all competitors, but they have practically driven competition out of the field. In 1881 of $17,618,000 new business, the Ca- nadian companies secured $11,158,000. And now the returns for 1882 have been published, in which the supremacy of the Canadian Life Insurance companies is still further established. There are at present “nine Canadian, eleven British and six American companies undertaking new busi- ‘ness in Canada, of which the Canada Life | ranks first in the extent of its operations. The business last year was as follows :—

CANADIAN COMPANIES, 1881. 1882. | Tee cs. $ 1,291,026 $ 1,562,085 | New policies........ 11,158,479 $12,198,045 Number of policies ia Sb rienn canuan 29,859 34,119 Net amount in force $46,041,591 $53,901,577 Claims paid........ $413,164 $431,662 BRITISH COMPANIES, 1881. 1882. i eer Pe $613,595 $674,362 | New policies........ $2,536,120 $2,833,250 | Number of policies in EE 10,242 10,584 Net amount in force $20,983,092 $22,328,872 Claims paid......... 339,710 $373,088 AMERICAN COMPANIES.

1881, 1882, oy oe $1,190,068 $1,307,158 New policies.,...... $3,923,412 $5,423, 960 Number of policies in

CaeO: Ei «sii ls and 0 22,756 24,055 Net amount in force $36,256,249 $48,857,629 Claims paid........ $636,327 $472,925

The relative positions of these various companies at the close of 1882 may be ascertained by the following table: British,

Canadian, American,

Preminms for year $1,562,085 $674,362 $1,308,158 Amt new policies 12,198,045 2,833,250 5,423,960 Policies in force 34,119 10,884 24,045

Amount in force 53,901,577 22,328,872 38,857,629

‘lt thus appears that in respect to new business, the Canadian companies are far in the van, having obtained 7,542 policies for $12,198,045 in 1882, while the American companies secured 2,665 new polices for $5,423,960, and the British companies 1,254 new polices for $2,833,250. As regards death claims, the Canadian com- panies present the most favorable exhibit, havingon a net insurance of $23,900,000 sustained claims for only $435,336, while the British companies on an insurance of $22,325,000 had claims for $462,712, and the American companies on an insurance of $38,857,000 claims for $536 ,959.”

Poultry on the Large Scale.

We find the following sound advices in the Poultry Monthly :—‘‘There are many persons of moderate means who have had perhaps some little experience with breed- ing poultry, and who get to wondering if it will pay to breed poultry on a large scale— whether it will pay to embark in the breed- ing of poultry for market purposes as a business, and if it is good policy to give up a fair paying clerkship or small business to engage in it. Such questions are very difli- cult to determine to the satisfaction of all persons concerned, for much more really depends on the person than on the business in nearly every department of human in- dustry, and where one person may make a success of any undertaking another one may fail, though having started with equal- ly as good chances of success. Poultry, to be successful on a large scale, must be kept in small colonies of about fifty birds each, for many more than that number in a single ;house is apt to cause sickness and dis- ease, ere long, among them. Small flocks like that can be given greater attention, than larger ones, and the first approach of disorder can be seen readily and promptly checked, while there is less danger of great loss when thus kept in small flocks as the trouble can usually be eonfined to the flock in which it started by proper and prompt sanitary measures. When the breeder is not too far away from large retail markets, and especially where the breeder can market them himself, thus saving commission, poultry for the eggs they produce, as eggs known to be strictly fresh are always in good demand at quite an increase in price over that received for the ordinary ‘store’ eggs. Such breeds as the white and brown, the Leghorns, and birds bred from them, either pure bred, or cross-bred or grade, as a basis, are first-class egg produccrs, while a game cock is also valuable to breed to good common hens, pro- ducing, as a rule, vigorous, active, pullets which are invariably good layers Those who wish to raise poultry principally or the flesh should raise the light Brahmas, Plymouth Rocks, dark Brahmas or some of the Cochin breeds, the first two named however, being general favorites in this re- spect, and also combining with good laying qualities under favorable circumstances. |Those who cannot or will not give the | poultry regular or constant attention, shel- |ter them properly, supply proper food in | liberal quantities and at frequent and re- ‘gular intervals, and pay a strict attention to cleanliness and thoroughness in all the | details of the management, need not expect [even to succeed, not to even consider the question of loss or profits, for success anc | profit here means work, work, work.”

Proper Education for Girls.

Give your daughters a thorough educa- tion. Teach them to cook and prepere the food of the household. Teach them to wash, to iron, to darn stockings, to sew on buttons, to make dresses. Teach them to make bread, and that a good kitchen les- sens the doctor's account. Teach them that he only lays up money whose expenses are less than his income, and all grow poor whe have to spend more than they receive. Teach them that a calico dress paid for fits better than a silken one unpaid for. Teach them that a healthy face displays greater lustre than fifty consumptive beauties. Teach them to purchase and to see that the account corresponds with the purchase. Teach them good common sense, self-trust, self-help and industry. Teach them that an honest mechanic in his working dregs i a better object of esteem ‘than ar haughty, finely dressed idlers. ‘Teach gardening and the pleasures of |; Teach them, if yon can attord it, 9m painting, etc., but consider them as second. ary Objects only. Teach them that a walk is more salutary than a ride in a cartiage. Teach them to reject with disdain all ap- pearances, and to use only ‘‘ yes” or ‘* no” in good earnest. Teach them that happi- ness of matrimony depends neither on ex- ternal appearances nor on wealth, but on the man’s character.

The Negro’s Future.

OSM as Waa aa Tags

The New York Globe, the organ of the colored race in America, has the following on the future of the Negro :—The Negro is pre-eminently an Americrn ; proud of his citizenship and of his country, in spite of the hard treatment he has endured in it. His feeling and sentiments are all American, and he asks for nothing more than the common rights of an eyual citizenship. He does not attempt to shirk any of the duties of acitizen, and takes a lively interest in all matters relating to the welfare of the country.” ’

The right to watch while others sleep, The right o’er other’s woes to weep, The right to succour in distress, The right when others curse to bless, The right to love when others scorn, The right to comfort all who mourn, The right to shed newjey on earth, The right to feel the soul’s high worth, The right to lead the soul to God Along the path her Saviour trod ; Such woman's rights God will bless And crown her champion with svecess. —Jennie Wood

The New York @ribune's London special of the 2nd, says the meeting of the Liberal members at the Foreign Oflice and Glad- stone’s address on Tuesday mark a new de- parture in the history of the Liberal party and perhaps of Parliamentary government. Gladstone's speech hinted at rather than avowed a decision that really had been taken by the Cabinet in reference to ob- struction and the prospects of the session, That decision amounts to nothing less than a resolution to persevere with every import- ant governinent measure, the London Municipality bill excepted, until the House either excepted or rejected them. The radical members of the Cabinet, Chamber- lain and Dilke, strenuously opposed drop- ping the London Municipality bi!l,but final- ly acquieseed on the condition above stated. |No dissension whatever exists on this | point. Gladstone and his moderate and radical colleagues all agree that the time has arrived when it is absolutely necessary to deterinine whether Parliament will or will | not perform the duties intrasted to it by jthe people. The question in their views is not whether this or that bill can be passed. Nothing yet said in public fully expresses \the views entertained by the Cabinet re- | Specting obstruction, as now practiced, and ‘nothing will be said ; because as Mr. Glad. stone has said, it is impossible to use language involving a menace to the House, but the determination to pass all bills this session until a decisive vote is taken on each, involves a determination to prolong the session if necessary, into or throagh the autumnand winter, The Liberal party is fully prepared to support the ministry in this course.

Horace, in his description of the game of | hide-and-go seek, tells us that the flying | Lalage left the impress of her teeth upon the finger of her pursuer. This classical example appears to be a mode! for Missouri ladies. Ata party at St. Joseph the other night a young gentleman *‘ noted for his brilliant conversational powers” and a beautiful young lady ‘‘from one of the upper counties ’ engaged in a struggle for a trinket, when ‘‘tue young lady sank her ivory teeth into the fleshy part of the young man’s arm.” The young man returned home, and on removing his garments’ blood was found trickling from the wound, and next morning the laverated arm was swollen to twice its natural size. At Cape Girar- deau a young man died from a playful bite on his thumb inflicted by a young lady, and the paper remarks that ‘‘it frequently happeus that the bite of a woman is poison- ous.” If the ladies of Missouri develop this biting propensity it is quite clear that for the safety of society they will have to be muzzled.
