STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
l. rectors of the Equitable Life As
surance Society of the United States
appointed to formulate the views of tt
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
lst-The Society issues all the appro,.
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine pu.
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN.
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
Of policy provide for annual cash diyi.
dends and a surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-The premiums on 1ontine DO
licy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only nav.
able in the event OF death, the holder Of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits IN cash at the end of .
stated period; thus, during his own life.
time, after his producing years are past.
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine DO.
licies approximates to or exceeds the
amount Of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof Of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR
tality is lower among T0ntine policy.
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind Of assurances, which is consider.
able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-fOrfeitable under the laws of the
State, if SO desired at the time tho as.
svrance is effected.
Sth-The Tontine system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business; the
funds judiciously invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly apportioned.
9th-The Society has since Its organi.
cation transacted larger amount Of
/, new business than any other company,
| while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,750,OO0 larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $50, 900, 900; over "a. Co.,
600 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that Of any
other company.

John Bun and His InsuIarity.

Insularity is in some respects happy
condition, but 1t fosters a strange blind
ness toward some very important political
truths. ] not now speak merely of its
narrowing influence. We must all be
more or less aware of this. We must be
aware that we live in kind Of seclusion,
in kind of half ignorance that other ma
lions really exist, that other languages
are spoken. When nation thus secluded
arrives at great wealth and power this
narrowness blends with self-satisfaction
and the compound which results is that
peculiar character which foreign politi-
clans know by the name of John Bull.
They think him very cQnceited very self
satisfied and they are astonished at his
ignorance Of all the affairs which seem TO
them most important
at Is prodigious," said Prince Kaunitz
century ago, "what these Englishmen do
not know" If with all this ignorance the
English prosper and grow rich, and keep
an inviolate soil, when almost every coun-
try is trodden at times by foreign armies,
these foreigners can not help respecting 80
much success; but yet they do not admit
the explanation of it which commends it.
self to us; they do not think we are pros
porous simply because we are wise and
virtuous, for they hold to their opinion
that we are ignorant, but they think that
our insularity, the cause of our ignorance,
Is also the principal cause Of our pros
perity, since 1t keeps off enemies and di-
minishes the difficulties of foreign policy.

A Touch Of Superstition.

A curious story was recently told me
respecting the queen regent of Spain,
which goes to prove that even that intelli-
gent lady is not free from the touch of
superstition to which 1t seems that all
feminine minds, even of the strongest, are
liable. On the day that the offer of King
Alfonso's hand to the Archduchess Chris
tina was officially made known to that
young lady, she had, by some mischanoe,
on rising put on garters of different col
ors. AS the great good fortune of her life
had come to her on that day, she never
henceforward would consent to wear a
pair of carriers to match One might be
pale blue and the other rose color, or one
was white and the other scarlet. etc.
Thus it became habit with the keeper of
the royal wardrobe to order at time sew
eral pairs of these silken articles always
of different tints.
But one day, while King Alfonso was
very ILL., 1t was discovered by the lady in
waiting on the queen that by some mis-
chance there remained on hand only three
or four pairs, and they were all of one
color-pale blue, il remember rightly. In
the hurry of Donna Christmas toilet, for
she was in haste to return to her husbands
bedside, this change in the small detail Of
her attire passed unnoticed. That day the
king died, and when the young-widow,
woe-worn and heartbroken was about to
retire to rest she suddenly became aware
of the lapse from the small superstition
of her. happy years ut was an omenl"
she exclaimed, and she wept bitterly

A Boston girl of 20 or thereabouts, one

tightly clasped by one arm Just below the

garden the girl and dog were met by an
other girl walking more leisurely and
without canine incumbrance. There
was kiss and few words of chat that
were soon ended by the exclamation from
the girl who carried the pet: well, good
