Now, right on the heels Of the cleo

that has now seized upon the Prussian
mlnd is that of the rectiication OF the
frontiers. This idea is not prompted by
any last of territory such as has been the
cause of Gallo aspirations for glory. 1t
is no mere wish to re-annex Alsace and
Lorraine, not even to get back Strasburg,
of which Germany was robbed, two cen
turtles ago, 10 a time of peace, by an act
of political burglary with violence. But
it is truly felt that imperial France need
never fear any un%provoked aggression +;
that she is only suffering now, by a sort
ofpoetic justice, the invasion which she
sought to infict. The belt of fortresses
on her western frontier was never truly
necessary for her protection, but was al
ways an iron threat to Rhineland. So
to rearrange the frontier that these fort
resses may cease to be engines of terror
and unrest, and form fortreSSes in the
Vosges to command the wide eastern
plains of France, will be, we may reason
ably expect, the great strategical feature
Of the future peace. That probably will
be the final good service which Won Mott
Ike will render to the Fatherland.-Oct.

WEST INDIAN IN LONDON.

When we hear of central factories in
he French colonies paying NJ less a d.
vidend than IS per cent, to their share
holders, and when we consider the great
facilities they afford TO proprietOrs of
small estates, it seem wonderful that no
effort in this direction should have been
made in the British Sugar Possessions.
1t is now clearly seen, however, hat the
recent changes in the sugar duties, by re-
duciDg the distance between the different
grades, has had an injurious influence
upon the lower qualities, and the COM
monest instincts Of prudence dictate that
some practical. steps must be taken to
send West Indian sugar to the market in
All improved condition. To those pro-
p|1ietors who, from want Of means or any
other cause, have been unable to comply
with the requirements of this altered
state of things, the establishment of cen
jral factories has become a simple neces-
9.5y. There is no necessary connection
between the cultivation of the cane and
she manufacture of the sugar. They can
30 divided into two separate industries.
The small planter in trying to work up

tbs machinery, whereas if he devotes the
whole Of his attention to the growth of
his canes, and leave the manufacturing
Dar1 Of his business to those who can
command the requisite capital and the
most skiIful appliances, he relieves him
self of an anxious and wearing responsible
lity. The cultivators of beet root on the
Continent have generally acted upon this
principle, and the result is seen in the
extraordinary success which has attended
all the departments Of that industry.
The former in England grows the corn
and leaves it to other people to make 1t
into bread, and sugar is almost as neces-
sary an article of popular consumption as
the staff of life itself. In the French CO.

BARBADOS Mutual Life Assurance Society

BARBADOS Mutual Life Assurance Society
ESTABLISHED IN 1910.
INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL ACT 1851.
CHIEF OFFICE:
No. 20, HIGH STREET, B~RIDGETOWN, BARBADOS
ETaHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, %labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that OF
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
cient 10 create large surpluses, out of
which ReverSionary Bonuses, averaging
q per cent per annum upon the amour
assured have been distributed among Il 9
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 80 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part Of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows

or the whole term, upon a single lite:--

always encouraged an increase Ofthe cul-
t%ivation, but this may, perhaps, he &C
counted for, at least to a great extent, by
the small percentage which it has hlther-
to been the habit TO allow the grower.
This is but a detail in management, how
ever, which can be easily altered In favour
of a more liberal system. If an allow
ance of six per cent, of sugar upon the
weight of the canes delivered at the uslne
is made, instead of five per cent, which
has hitherto been the figure, a larger
amount of profit is allowed to the grower,
and sometimes this additional one per
cent. will make all the difference to him
between profitable and Improbable Gull
tivation. The proposed factories in the
British colonies should not, therefore,
bind the planter down to starvation prices,
but afford him every induCement to extend
and improve his cultivation. According
to the present tariff, the planter can pro-
badly obtain, on the average, better prices
for his produce if he is able to manufac-
ture it himself; but the prospect of a small
Ter profit, which is certain, is likely to be
preferred to q larger one involving all
lax LAOhO VI lubOuAC ~ ClAbJ7lAS
markets. In the French colonies the
amount Of capital invested in usiness is
very large, and the means employed for
the manufacture of the sugar very elabo-
rate and complete. They obtain, on the
average, between nine and ten per cent.
of sugar on the weight of canes. The
actual yield of juice will vary in the diff
ferent colonies, and the French figures can
scarcely be taken as a thoroughly relia-
BILE basis of operations. Under the pre-
sent system of manufacture in Trinidad,
for instance, only about six per cent. of
sugar is obtained, but this of course
could be considerably improved by the
central factories to a yield more nearly
approaching that achieved by the French
usines. One very important point to be
considered is tie existence Of proper roads
and cheap and rapid means Of transport
ting the material. In connection with
this, the wire tramWay system, of which
a full description was given IN these CO.
lumns some time ago, deserves attention.
Carriage is cumbersome, and expensive
In proportion as it is slow, and tramWays,
either On the ground or in the air, would
be much more economical. The capital
for constructing and the means of work
ing them-in short, all that relates to
transit-might be provided by an agency
distinct and separate from the two great
departments Of agriculture and manufac-
ture. A large and dependable supply Of
water will also be necessary, and provis-
ion will have to be made by irri cation
against the risk of drought. Ali these
things require careful estimate and much
