I J A Romantic Career. Shane Yao, Governor of the Province of Shanglung, in China, who died a few weeks ago, wa~ one of the highest and mightiest t-iiicers in the Flowery King- d-nnc. His career was adventurous in tln- extreme, and recalls the tales of the " Um: Thousand and One-Sights." He was born in the lowest grade of society, filial was obliged to flee from his native it'tl'n, winn little more than a boy, on account of the murder of an old man. llc lll'CfllllU a brigand, and mm snon leader of the “ free knights," who made the Province of llauan dangerous for 1m :1 of family and means. During one of the revoultions in China, according to foreign papers, the rebels were about to capture Kruszc, the capital of the province. The Governor, obliged to adopt drastic measures to save hi~ city and life. issued a proclamation offering the hand of his daughter to the man Mm would rescue them. Chang did so, Mllll the prize, and eventually he became tn..nd;:rin and then Governor of‘ the city in which he had been a robbery 0-0â€"â€" A Close Secret. Probably the only secret process which has been kept inviclatc, and has for ages openly defied the world of science, is the iron trade of Russia. The secret oi making Russian sheet. iron is owned 1);. the Government, and when a work- man enters the service he bids a last l'aretvcll to his family and friends, and whether he lives or dies, all trace of him is forever lost. There have been sev- ('l'tll desperate attempts made to steal or betray the secret, but in every instance it has resulted in the death of the would-be traitor. In one case a letter attached to a kite, which was allowed to escape, was picked up by some peas- ants, and, despite their protestations that they were unable to read, they were at once put to death by the guards to whom they delivered the letter. It was afterwards decreed that the guards themselves should pass the remainder of their lives within the works, and to this day the secret remains as hidden .as .hc philosopher‘s stone. 0-9 NotAll Dead Yet. The mathematical smart Alecks are always proposing some new and puzzling question with which to confound those whose bump of calculation is not well developed, but the most exasperatng effort in this direction was sprung on a small company the other evening when one of these human calculating machines inquired: “ If five cats catch live rats in five days, how many cats will it take to catch 100 rats in 100 days ? ” Every answer was given, from 100 cats to 100,- 000 cats, until it happened to occur to some one that if five cats caught a rat a day there wasnothing to prevent their euzninuin; to do so till the end of time if their patience and the rats held out. lint before this conclusion was reached over 810 had chaung hands in bets on the subject, and three quarrels were ‘s'arted which have not. yet been settled. Unfortunately, however, none of them involved the t rieinator ol‘ the problem, who escaped before matters had gone =5o l'ar.â€"'â€"St. Louis Globe-Democrat. -0 A Tragedy of the Long Ago. ~ Nuwnono. Dnt., Nov. 23,â€"Mr. John 'Flt‘ltls while out hunting in the woods tilting the Nn-th Shore on Friday met with a startling incident. l‘Iavin;r found a brood el' partridge in one of the largest and tallest pines, he was about to fire among them when he heard the clanking.r 'of chains. His curiosity being aroused he proceeded to investigate. Looking.r carefully around he found claw marks in the sand that was scooped out be- 'neath the tree, and on climbing it a most unusual sight was seen; there, bound to the tree, were the bones of '~what. proved to be a human skeleton. The chain was nearly eaten through with rust. This unfortunate relic was -a subject of much conjecture to all. The question is whether in some mo- nn-nt of delirium or rctnorsc he had committed suicide in this extraordinary manner. or had been the victim of some marauding party of Indians. ._....-_-â€"o¢9 Mad Otto of Bavaria. *M.W .

The Royal Canadian offers the following , advantages over the London Mutual: l. Ifn building worth $1200 is insured for'say 81000, the Royal Canadian is oblig- ed to pay $1000, if a loss occurs. In such a case the London Mutual is obliged to pay only two thirds ofthe cash value, or $800. 2. lfa horse worth $00 is killed in the fields by lightning, the [loyal Canadian is obliged to pay $90. The London Mutual pays only $60. 3. Fora. cow worth $30 killed by lightâ€" ning the Royal Canadian pnys $30. The London Mutual pays only $20. For other animals the Royal Canadian pays the full value. The London Mutual pays not more than $5, no matter how valuable the animal may be. . 4. In the Royal Canadian animals are insured against lightning while at posture anywhere. In the London Mutual they are “"‘i‘e WWW “‘e Wis“ °f French and English Snitings and Over-Coatings. Scotch the insured only. 5. When articles are insured specifically such as musical instruments, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay the full amount insured up to the cash value of the article. The London Mutual pays only two-third of the cash value, no matter what the in- surance may be. 6. When “ordinary contents ” of out buildings are insured by the Royal Canadian ALL implements are included. In the Lon- don Mutual only one reaper and one mower are included, no matter how good others may be. - 7. When the outbuildings are not joined to each other the Royal Canadian insures under one sum the “ordinary contents ” of all building not cut off bya distance great- er than 40 it., the same as if the contents were all under one roof. The London Mu- tual requires a. Separate sum on the con- tents ot‘ eat-.11 building, if the distance is more than 12.ft. This is a very important difference in many cases. 8. In the Royal Canadian it is a part of the contract that standard srnnu TIlltESilEl‘tS may be used without a special permit and without any restriction as to the distance from stacks or buildings, caretakers, pails of water, kind of fuel or direction of the wind. Many of the policy holders in the London Mutual were obliged to run their own risk while threshing last season, be- cause it was found to be impossible to com- ply with the conditions of their permit. When a. farmer pays forinsurnncc he should secure a policy which will hold him safe when it is most required. 9. The Royal Canadian is obliged to pay its losses within sixty days and usually takes much less. The London Mutual need not pny for nim-ty days, and since it has become so hard up as to be obliged to bor- row money largely, it usually takes about the full time allowed. 10. The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the statutory conditions only. It has none of the numerous variations against the policy-holder printed in red ink on the back of the London Mutual policy. ll. As to Security, the inspector of insu- rance reports that the Royal Canadian has $202,758, the amount he estimates to be necessary to enable the company to carry out all its engagements with its policy holders. Besides this he reports that it has to the good the $100,000 capitol paid in cash by the shareholders, and a net surplus $17,607 making in all a total cash surplus of $517,607 to protect its policy-holders against unexpected contingencies. In ad- dition to these cash items it has a subscribâ€" ed capital of $100,000 not Called up. Re- garding the security of the London Mutual the inspector reports that the amount of unearned premium it should have on hand is $290,300. To make up this amount in cash a second call would have to be made on the premium notes for a large amount, leaving a. surplus of only $74,2l8, even if there were no bad debts, and this surplus is made up wholly of the unpaid balance of premium notes already heavily assessed. The company reports the losses adjusted but unpaid at the close of the your at $6,- 387, but the Inspector of Insurance finds that the liability for unpaid losses at the end of the year was $20,286. The cash on hand to pay these losses only amounted to $13,911. In view of the foregoing facts farmers will have no difficulty in deciding as to the company in which they should be insured.
