premiums ON this enormous sum
amount to $50. 900 annually, which of
itself would he pretty good line of in
surance for the ordinary mortal. A
great deal of Mr.. Wanamaker's insur-

the accumulation of dividend, and it
is altogether probable that when he
dies the companies will pay TO his heirs
something over $1,000, 900.
