Proud Savages of Patagonia.

The Patagonian Indians are a high
grade Of savages, have more intelligence
than the natives of the tropical ATTITUDES,
are more honorable and less cruel. 1t is
said that the Patagonian will never
keep an agreement with Spaniard, for
the Spaniard has never kept faith with
him. But he can be relied upon by every
other nationality. A German trader who
has had much to do with them during
several years experience at Puenta
Arenas, told me that when Tehuelches
chief agreed to bring him skins and feath-
ers, he brought them if they were to be
found in the country. If the same chief
agreed to bring the same things to a
Chill trader across the way he was GER
tain not to do it. If the Chill trader
called him to account he would answer,
"Manana" tomorrow, the word the
Spaniard always uses to excuse himself
from carrying out a bargain. This prac-
tice is so universal that the Spaniards
have been driven out of the trading bust
ness. The Indians would not sell to them
till all the other traders were supplied,
even when they offered higher prices

INSURING THE SICK. !
WHAT HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY
BY VITAL STATISTICS.
Can Profit Be Made in Insuring Un-
healthy Lives-A Table of Comparative
ProbabiIities-Theoret Expectations
of the Diseased.

The practice of the life insurance COM
panies in insuring only the best lives has
often been the subject of a grim kind of
humor. 1.-THE people they insure" it is
said, ''are those who appear from medi-
cal examination to stand in no need of in
surance, while those who really do need
it cannot get it." This is not altogether
true, of course. A good many of the
people who can successfully pass the medi-
cal examiners of the insurance companies
stand quite as much in need of insurance
as those who cannot pass, but it is GER
tainly unfortunate that the latter, who
certainly do stand in need of insurance,
are unable to get it. 1t is not only I'M
fortunate, but seems to be triie unjust;
and the question is often seriously asked
why, when the insurance risks are based
on general mortality and not on the NOR
tally among selected lives, the insurance
companies should decline risks upon any
lives but the selected?
The answer is, probably, that the in
surance companies are not doing business
on philanthrOpic principles-though their
solicitors would fain persuade US to the
contrary-but to make money But even
when the answer has been given the ques-
ton may still be asked whether there is
not a profit to be made in insuring i'm
paired lives.
THE UNHEALTHY LIFE.
An article in The American Exchange
and Review indicates the possibility that
this question may yet be answered in the
affirmative. 1t points out that while the
unhealthy life is, as a rule, in greater
peril of death than the healthy one, the
risk in the case of the former can, in all
probability, be determined with as much
accuracy and safety as it can in the case
of the latter. This is certainly a reason
able view. The number of years upon
which a healthy man of 20, or 30 or 40,
or any other age, can reasonably expect
to live, has been ascertained by careful
compilation of vital statistics. What is
to prevent the ascertainment. by a like
careful compilation, of the age to which
an unhealthy or unsound man of 90, 80
or 40, or any other age, may expect to
live?
To a certain small extent, according to
the article referred to, this has been done
by the Institute of Actuaries in London,
England, in constructing a table Of com
parative probabilities in the cases of
healthy and diseased lives. The figures
