the productive years of life, when insurance
is mostly needed. II provides for old age.
Above the age of 40 the rates are less than

below 40 they are but little in excess of or

writer OF rem rkable stories for young PEG.
Pile, and her work has received general CON-
menda ion, led by the weil-deserved praise OF
Mr.. Ruskin In some respects Phyllis Browne
is the most brilliant story that she has yet
written. The little heroine is frank and
strong English girl, and her cousin, the young
Count Ladislas, is an exquisite sketch of a
Polish boy. These two characters are contrast
ed IN the most natural and charming fashion
Lutte Lad slas has half-rememhered dreams OF
his father and mother, dead for love of Pc
land; and his sympathies are with the discon-
tent of some poor people of the English village
where he lives with his uncle's family. LII
bis passionate attempts to help these people
some dangerous, some only unhappy, he goes
ihrongh MIST thrilling adventures, in all Of
Which Ply Ills appear, save him by her Com

breathess exc ement; and the nobility and
poetry OF Mrs. shaw's manner render her work
quite beyond praise. PHYLLIS Browne is story
of absolute aid rare genius.
