Life insurance certainly yields
something besides expectations on
the one side and promises on the
other. Thirty-five standard life
companies have reported to the
New York State Insurance Depart
ment their business for 1895. They
show total cash payments in death
losses and endowment claims of
$84,791,622. This was money act
ually paid to policy-holders or their
beneficiaries exclusive of what was
disbursed in dividends and for sur
rendered policies. These two latter
items bring the total payments to
policy-holders up to the remarkable
figure of $122,978,718.

scarcely received mention in the
convention, and the delegation is
at liberty to vote as it pleases for

las county convention mixes mat
ters up considerably and it is diffi
cult to predict the outcome of the
state convention.
speaking of the business situa
tion, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
of Saturday says: The political
conditions which affect business
continue to be "mixed." Nobody
doubts that the republican national
convention will make a square dec
laration m favor of the gold stand
ard, but there is some chance that
the democratic convention will be
carried by the silver men. Of course
the democrats can not win in any
event, and a silver platform will
make their defeat overwhelming
and lasting-. Still, a surrender t
silver by them will have a bad effeci
on the country's credit abroad,
where their impotency is notas well
known as it is here. However, in
this country the effect of a silver
declaration at Chicago will not be
perceptible on the.exchanges or in
general business.

free-traders were denouncing- the
McKinley law, with its reciprocity
clause, "a Chinese wall" that shu
us out of "the markets of the

country reached its high-water
mark; the total value of exports
being- $1,030,270,148. This, was
greater than that of any preceding
year by $luu,UUUtUUU, and mnnitely
greater than that of any succeeding-
year. TJie year iobo was one o

of domestic tariff tinkering-. Bu
the reciprocity agreements, though
threatened, were hot yet repealed
accordingly the only increase of our
foreign trade was in our dealings
with those countries between which

were in force. Our increase of trade
with them was $3,500,000 over the
total of 1892, and $16,440,721 over
1891, which was the year prior to
the signing- ot agreements.
SHOULD WOMAN PROPOSE?
Mrs.Gllxnoor's Witty and Timely Answer to
the Question In the Now York Herald.
The New York Herald has been hav
ing a letter contest on the subject, "How
Far May a Woman Go to Encourage
Man to Propose?"
Mrs. James Gilmour of Brooklyn
wrote the -winning letter, and . as the
subject is one that will interest all
women, and as lier letter is especially
witty, here are Mrs. Gilmour's ideas as
she gavo iUem to Tho Herald:
Solomon, tne wisest man tuat ever
lived, says of a good woman, "Her price
is far above rubies. ' ' Certainly, from his
extraordinary and extensive experience
with tho sex, I should consider him
competent to pass judgment.

Dress becomingly for him, but never

Above all else, provo yourself a good

more chance to study his character, for

mouth speaketh. " I guarantee that you
will get in your thirds in the sweet by

I should scarcely advise your treating
him to specimens of your cookery. His

time enable you to judge whether or

and to act accordingly. "Be ye -wise as

Should there spring up between you
a mutual regard, treat him to some of
those dainty feminine touches -which are
indescribable, not because they are
womanly or wrong, but because their
language is mute and sacred to the two
persons most concerned.
Do not always agree with him. It is
sometimes wiser to agree to disagree.

ture, you ought by this time to have
made yourself so necessary to his exist

Though all progresses well, draw the
line at promiscuous osculation. Never
permit him to kiss you. That is the
privilege of the engaged. But since the
apostle says, "Greet ye one another
with an holy kiss, " you might vouch
safe him just one some night at part
ing, perhaps. But if he attempts to re
turn it do not permit it. Tell him, "It
is more blessed to give than to receive. "
Finally, yon might inform him that
you can put him in the way of finding
a "good thing," and refer him to the
nineteenth chapter of Proverbs, the
twenty-second verse. If he be a manly
sort of fellow, and cares anything for
you, he will doubtless follow the ex
hortation of the prophet and thus find
favor with you and the Lord.
Should your innate modesty rebel
somewhat at this suggestion, you may
console yourself by remembering that it
is indeed your leap year privilege.
If you are the dear, womanly, nes

have proposed long ago. If he has not,
discard him, for either he is not worthy

CHAPTER VIL
Let us now look for a moment into
the reigns of Harold I and Hardicanute,
a pair of unpopular reigns, which, al
though brief, "were yet long enough.
Queen Emma, of course, desired the
coronation of Hardicanute ; but, though
supported by Earl Godwin, a man of
great inuflciico and educated to a high
degree for his tune able indeed, it is
said, at a moment's notice, to add up
things and reduce things to a common
denominator it could not be.
Harold, tho compromise candidate,
reigned from 1037 to 1040. He gained
Godwin to his side, and together they
lured the sons of Emma by Ethelred
viz, Alfred and Edward to town, and,
as a sort of royal practical joke, put out
Alfred's eyes, causing his death.
Harold was a swift sprinter and was
called "Harefoot" by those -who were
intimate enough to exchange calls and
coarse anecdotes with him.
He died in 1040 A. D., and nobody
ever had a moro general approval for
doing so than Harold.
Hardicanute now came forth from his
apartments and "was received as king
with every demonstration of joy, and
for some -weeks he and dyspepsia had it
all their own way on Piccadilly. (Re
port says that he drank! Several times
while under the influence of liquor he
abdicated the throne with a dull thud,
but was reinstated by the polica )
Em-aged by the death of Alfred, the
king had the remains of Harold e.xhum-
ed and thrown into a fen. This a-fen
sivo act showed what a great big, broad
nature Hardicanute had : also the kind
of timber used in making a king
those days.
in
Godwin, however, seems to have been
a good political aero oat and was on
more sdies of more questions than any
body else of those times. Though con
nected with the white cap affair by
which Alfred lost his eyesight and his
life, he proved an alibi, or spasdomdic
paresis, or something, and, having stood
"KING HAROLD IS DEAD, SIRE."
a compurgation and "ordeal" trial, was
released. The historian very truly but
inelegantly says, if memory serves the
writer accurately, that Godwin was such
political straddle bug that ho early
abandoned the use of pantaloons and
returned to the toga, which was the
only garment able to stand the strain of
his political cuttings up.
The shire mote, or county court of
those days, was composed of a dozen
thanes or cheap nobles, who had to
swear that they had not read tho --apers
and had not formed or exprcss-xl an
opinion and that their minds were in a
state of complete vacancy. It was a sort
of primary jury, and each could point
with pride to the vast collection he had
made of things he did not know and
had not formed or expressed an opinion
about.
If one did not like the verdict of this
court, he could appeal to the king on a
certiorari or some such thine: as that.
Tho accused could clear himself by his
own oath and that of others, but with
out these he had to stand what was call
ed the "ordeal," which consisted in
walking on hot plowshares without ex
pressing derogatory opinion regarding
the plowshares or showing contempt of
court. Sometimes the accused had to
run his arm into boiling water. If after
three days the injury had disappeared,
the defendant was discharged and costs
taxed against the king.
Hardicanute only reigned two years, j
and in 1042 A. D. died at a nuptial
banquet and cast a gloom over tho
whole thing. In those times it was a
common thing for the king or some of
the nobility to die between the roast pig
and the pork pie. It was not unusual
to see each noble with a Toast pig tete-a-tete,
each confronting the other, the
living and the dead.
At this time it is said by the old set
tlers that hog cholera thinned out the
nobility a good deal, whether directly
or indirectly they do not say.
The English had now wearied of the
Danish yoke. "Why wear the Danish
yoke," they asked, "and be ruled with
a rod of iron?"
Edward, half brother of Edmund
Ironside, was therefore nominated and
chosen kinsr. Godwin, who seemed to
as a versatile ctin
" turned up as his
political adviser.
Edward, afterward called "tho Con
fessor, " at once stripped Queen Emma
of ail her means, f cr he had no love left
for her, as she had failed repeatedly to
assist hizz vhen ho was an. outcast, and
afterward the new king placed her in
jail (or gaol, rather) at Winchester.
This should teach mothera' to be more
obedient or they will surely come to
some bad end.
Edward was educated in ITormandy
and so was quite partial to the Nor
mans. He appointed many of them to
important positions in both church and
state. Even the see of Canterbury was
given to a Norman. The see saw how it
was going, no doubt, and accepted the
position. But let us pass on rapidly tc
something else, for thereby variety may
be given to these pages, and, as one fact
seems to call for another, truth, which
for the time being may be apparently
crushed to earth, may rise again.
Godwin disliked the introduction oi
the Norman tongue and Norman cus
toms in England, and when Eustace,
count of Boulogne and author of the
sausage which bears his name, commit

ted an act of violence against the people
of Dover, they arose as one man drove
out the foreigners and fumigated the
town as well as the ferry running to
Calais.
This caused trouble between Edward
and Godwin, which led to the deposi
tion of tho latter, who, with his sons,
was compelled to flee. But later he re
turned, and his popularity in England
among the home people compelled the
king to re-establish him.
Soon afterward Godwin died, and
Harold, his son, succeeded him success
fully. Godwin was an able man and got
several earldoms for his wife and rela
tives at a time when that was just what
they needed. An earldom then was not
a mere empty title, with nothing in it but
a blue sash and a scorbutic tempera
ment, but it gave almost absolute au
thority over one or more shires and was
also a good piece of property. These his
torical facts took place in or about the
year 1054 A. D.
Edv ard having no children, together
with a sort of misgiving about ever hav
ing any to speak of, called home Ed
ward the Outlaw, son of Edmund Iron
side, to succeed to the throne, but scarce
ly had he reached the shores of England
when he died, leaving a son, Edgar.
William of Normandy, a cousin of
the king, now appears on the scene. He
claimed to be entitled to the first crack
at the throne, and that the king had
promised to bequeath it to him. He even
lured Harold, the heir apparently, to
Normandy, and while under the influ
ence of stimulants compelled Harold to
swear that he would sustain William's
claim to the throne. The wily William
also inserted some holy relics of great
potency under the altar used for swear-
g purposes, but Harold recovered
when he got out again into the fresh air
and snapped his fingers at William and
his relics.
Jan. o, 106G, Edward died, and was
buried in Westminster abbey, which
had just been inclosed and the roof put
on.
Harold, who had- practiced a little
while as earl, and so felt that he could
reign easily by beginning moderately
and only reigning forenoons, ascended
the throne.
Edward tho Confessor was a good,
durable monarch, but not brilliant. Ho
was the first to let people touch him on
Tuesdays and Fridays for scrofula or
nng'seviL" He also made a set of
laws that were an improvement on some
of the old ones. He was canonized about
a century after his death by the pope,
but as to whether it "took" or not the
historian seems strangely dumb.
He was the last of the royal Saxon
line, but ether self made Saxons reigned
after him in torrents.
Edgar Atheling, son of Edward the
Ontlaw, was the only surviving male
of the royal line, but he was not old
enough to succeed to tho throne, and
Harold H accepted the portfolio. He
was crowned at Westminster ou the day
of King Edward's burial. This infuriat
ed William of Normandy, who remind
ed Harold of his first degree oath and
his pledge that he would keep it "or
have his salary cut from year to year. "
Oh, how irritated William was! He
got down his gun and bade the ether
Normans who desired an outing to do
the same.
Trouble also arose with Tcstig, the
king's brother, aud his Norwegian ally,
Hardrada, but the king defeated the al-

lied forces at Stamford bridge, near
York, where both of these misguided
leaders bit the dust. Previous to the
battle there was a brief parley, and the
king told Tostig the best he could do
with him. "And what can you give my
ally, Hardrada?" queried the astute
Tostig. "Seven feet of English ground,"
answered the king roguishly, "or possi
bly more, as Hardrada is rather taller
than the average," or words to that
effect. "Then let the fight go on!" an
swered Tostig, taking a couple of hard
boiled eggs from his pocket and crack
ing them on the pommel of his saddle,
for he had not eaten anything but a
broiled shote since breakfast.
That night both he and Hardrada oc

M. Bochefort's recent advocacy of
temperance las directed attention to the
consumption of absinth in Prance, and
somo startling statements in connection
therewith are being made. Men as a
rule take tho absinth diluted in water,
sipping it slowly. But the women to
tho nnnsfprnation of the doctors, insist,
as a rule, on drinking it "neat," with
most terrible results to their constitu
tions. The number of brilliant men

of the opalescent but poisonous fluid,
from the great poet Alfred de Musset,
who used to bo picked up drunk and
half dead every night in the streets, down,
to the celebrated artist and caricaturist,
Andre Gill, is simply appalling. An
idea of the extent of the evil may be

A Vigorous Old Xady.
One of these aged Maine people, Mr3.
Sally Pratt of Norway, who is 98 years
old, is getting newspaper attention as
an investor, managing her property
without assistance, and, it is said, so as
to make money by every venture. Mrs.
Pratt, whose maiden name was Sally
Gardener, was the daughter of John
Gardener, a fisherman and small farm
er at Poland, and when 23 years old she
married Jacob Brown, the young couple
settling on a small farm in Poland. By
industry and frugality they acquired
considerable property, including real es
tate and two country stores. Mr. Brown
died in 1850, and his widow managed
the business for ten years, at the end of
which time she married Zebedee Pratt,
a pensioner of the war of 1812. Soon
after she sold her stores and part of he!
real estate, investing the proceeds in
bank stock, etc. As an instance of Mrs.
Pratt's industry in her younger days, ii
is told that one winter, during her hus
band's absence in Aroostook, she took
care of 20 cattle and horses, did the
housework for six boarders and ran a
country store that did business enough
to employ two clerks. Lewiston Jour

This is the time when furs are being

well known that the hot sun is more
disastrous to a seal sack or cape than
a whole winter's wear, and it is tho
wise woman who does not expose her
handsome fur garment to its ardent
beams. An excellent plan to keep furs

or stiff pasteboard may be laid over the
top, merely to protect the paper cover.
If the barrel can stand where nothing
will be likely to fall upon it, the extra
cover is not needed. New York Times.

For athletic purposes, such as golfing,
tennis and cycling, the jersey is quite
the proper thing. They arc of any con

striped and woven in lozenge and other

worn with substantial leather belts and
are becoming, comfortable and econom

Miss Lena Saunders, who recently
died in New Orleans, went to that city.
17 years ago from Connecticut and de

to work among the negroes, under, the
auspices of the Congregational Mission

of the Chinese appealed to her more
strongly, and her self denying labors
among them earned for her the admira
