How to Get . silver Cradle.

Talking of customs reminds me of a
curious old practice which still prevails
In some of the provincial towns of Eng
land, of presenting the wife of the mayor
with q silver cradle should she give birth
to child during her husbands term Of
Office. The old custom is still kept up
in the town of Worcester, England,
where the mayors wife, having had a
child born unto her, was few weeks
ago presented by the corporation with
the traditional silver cradle. 1t was in the
form OF dish for fruit or flowers. On
each side were cut glass dishes, between
which the cradle, which was of wicker
work pattern. swung from the hands
OF a pair of silver cupids. Jewellers

A Million on a Life.

The greatest achievement in the his
tory of life insurance has beenAmade by
Mr.. John Wanamaker, who is now pay
ing premiums on 100000 to twenty
nine different companies. The last
policy issued on his life was received by
him the other day, and so far as is known
there is no other man in the world whose
life is insured for such an enormous
amount. There are number Of men in
this city who have been trying for years
to achieve the point just gained by Mr..
Wanamaker, but they have SO far failed,
although John B. Stetson, the hat manu-
facturer, has succeeded in getting poll
cies on his life amounting to $750,000.
He is DESTROYS Of putting the amount up
to round million.
The risks on Mr.. Wanamaker's life are
divided equally into life and fifteen year
endowments, and he pays over $1,000
annually in premiums to the different
companies in which his risks are placed.
In the matter of paying premiums he is
outdone by Mr.. Stetson, who pays $685.
900 in the same length Of time, but the
difference is accounted for by the fact
that besides paying the premiums on the
risks on his own life, he also pays those
on the lives Of his business manager and
his son-in-law, both of whom he has in
sured for $780, 900 each, besides holding
policies for large amounts ON other peo-
pies lives. Should Mr.. Wanamaker al
low the annual dividends to go uncol-
lected until the risks on his life expire he
will be entitled to about 81, 400, 900.
There are three companies which carry
premiums of 100000 each on his life.
But Mr.. Wanamaker is not the only man
in this city upon whose life big risks are
issued. George w. Childs is insured for
100000, and SO is Wharton Barker.
Hamilton Disston is insured for about
$150,000. j. G. Darlington is insured
for one-tenth of million, and his part
ner, William M. Runk, for twice that
amount. Philadelphia Record.

that George R. Garfield, son of Mr..

victim of the dreaded typhoid fever.
We know that we voice the feelings of

splendid type of our Vermont young

was home boy, entering with all his
heart into the home interests, trusted
by his father with the management of
the farm affairs, and constant source
of strength and inspiration to the sad
ly stricken mother. Words cannot ex-

That it's common grief
Bringeth but slight relief;
Ours is the bitterest loss,
Ours is the heaviest cross;
And forever the cry will be
Would God had died for thee
o AbsalOm, my son."
Funeral services to-day (Friday) at
