The Origin of Life Insurance.

An English insurance journal is re-
sponsble for the statement that "a game
of cards suggested the system Of life in
surance. More than two hundred years
ago Flemish nobeman attempted TO
equitable the money staked upon an
interrupted game of chance. lie was
assisted in the task by Jesuit priest,
one of the most accomplished mathe-
maticians of any age. Pascal solved the
problem, and in doing so enunciated the
doctrine Of probabilities, or law govern
ing insurance OF all kinds. The theory
is illustrated by the throwing OF dice.
When a single die is thrown the chance
of six, or one out of the total number Of
sides or faces. In a large number of
throws the chances are in the same pro-
portion. From this Pascal laid down
the proposition, that results which have
happened in any given number of OBJ
served cases will again happen under
similar circumstances, provided the num-
Der be sufficient for the proper working
OF the law of average. The life of sim
gle individual is one OF the greatest un.
certainties, but the duration, or rate of
mortality, of large number of individ-
uals may be depicted with great accu.
racy by comparison with the observed
results among a sufficiently large num-
Der OF similar ages and occupations, and
subject to similar climatic influences. -

The Tyrant on the Mantolpiece.
pan Mall Gazette }

IL is not exaggeraton 30 say that the
clock is gradually enslaving the whole
Of the civilized world. Not one OF us
but can call to mind among our acquain-
tances individuals who belong body and
soul to the clock-whose whole lives are
dominated by its chimes and intervals.
The attitude Of such persons is one Of
seryile Difference to the clock.
Every thing they do is with view Of
conforming to its wishes. They sleep
by the clock, dress by the clock, eat by
the clock, sit, walk, read, smoke, work
by the clock. Their heads are full Of
periods Of time-hours, minutes and sec
onds. They spend their lives counting
them. They can never enjoy themselves
or let themselves go without pulling
themselves up suddenly for fear they
should forget the clock. They will stop
doing something useful, interesting and
enjoyable, and force themselves to do
something dull aud uninteresting, sim
ply because the clock happened to strike.
And no matter how greatly they desire
to change an irksome occupation, they
will stick to it, because, forsooth, the
clock has not yet struck. They may be
enjoying the most delightful slumber OF
a morning, but will bound out OF bed
like skyrocket because the clock hap
pens to strike. And though they have
not the slightest inclination for sleep
they will put themselves forcibly to bed
because the finger Of the clock marks a
certain hour. Their whole lives are
spent in trying to force their natures in
to accordance with mere machine.
Such people are as much slaves to the
clock as the geni in the story Of Aladdin
were slaves to the lamp. They are per-
petually at its beck and call, and must
obey its voice as they would that Of the
veriest tyrant.
