Insurance

The Austrian government, it appears,
has made concessions which will enable
the New York Life to resume it's business
which was interrupted there last fall. The
restrictions imposed by the department
having control and supervision of insurance
interests in the empire had for effect to
levy on the reserve of the business pre-
viously done. This action the company,
naturally, resisted, but their protests and
arguments were without effect, in fact
were scarcely needed The Prussian gov-
ernment had practically driven the Amer
lean companies out of that empire, and the
New York Life decided to withdraw from
Austria, as its course seemed to tend in
that direction also. Mr.. Perkins, third
vice-presdent of the company, however,
on his recent visit to Vienna found that
the Austrian department was much more
favorably inclined than was supposed, and
he obtained concessions which, as stated
above, viii allow the New York Life to re-
sumo at once. 1t appears that all along the
Austrian government was disposed to meet
the New York Life on favorable TERMS

We have the phrase as "tender heart
ed as child" but in reality nothing
is so hard and cruel as youth. It's
judgments are memorable. Itconfounds
the sinner and the sin. It is impatient
and implacable. Only after one has
lived and suffered and has known the
temptations and trials of life does one
learn to deal gently with the weak
nesses and faults of his brother man
and to throw about the world the tender
aud enveloping mantle of charity and
sympathy.
Surely this broader comprehension
and sympathy is some compensation
for growing old. To it may be added
the fact not always appreciated that as
one grows Older one enioyes with a
cultivated sense many things Of which
youth is profoundly ignorant
The young devour all pleasure with
the indiscriminating appetite of the
farm labOrer, The older person chooses
warily, as an epiCure selects among the
dishes of feast. Perhaps the panorams
of life is not less beautiful to the old
than the young.

Camphor For Ills wiz.

There was a farmer who used to have
his occasional spree. Everyone knew
his failing, and neither of the drug
gists in town would sell him drop.
One day he brought quart bottle into
one of the apothecary shops, with two
or three big Jumps of camphor in the
bottom. He told the druggist that his
wife wanted her camphor bottle filed
with alcohol. The druggist filled it
without suspecting anything. In a
week the old man came again, and in
. little while the third time. Finally
the druggist discovered that the "gum
champion was milky quartz, picked
up in the fields, and that the farmar
had pourd camphor over the outside of
the bottle until enough had crystalized
there to look natural and smell right.
The quartz didn't hurt the alcohol for
drinking purposes.
