a prominent insurance man the other
day. "This country has not been. In
Danger of war in a long time. and it
has been customary to accept army
officers at the usual rates, though
double the regular premium was de-
manded where they went on dangerous
expeditions, as in Indian campaigns.
As for enlisted men. they have not
been considered desirable risks by the
companies. The danger of death is
greater in the case of privates, and
they neither live SO well nor have
such good care, when hurt. as their Of
fcers. In the navy it is considerably
different. Naval officers have not
been insured very heavily by the COM
panies, and the latter are glad OF it
at the present time, when it looks as if
the struggle with Spain would be de-
cided on the deep. Among other unde-
sirable risks are Alaskan prospectors
They are not liked at all by the in
surance people. The dangers on the
trails and in the camps from exposure
and accident are very great. A few
companies will take robust men at n
heavy rate, but not many will know
ingly insure a man who is going to

The Rev. D. F. E. Clark OF Boston,
the president of the Worlds Christian
Endeavor Union, has been attending
the seventh British national Christian
Endeavor convention, recently il ses-
sion in Glasgow, Scotland. In his
opening address he spoke Of the Chris
tan Endeavor society as an important
factor in the promotion of a better I'M
derstanding between the two coun-
tries. He predicted that when, in the
year 1900, a great exodus of 10000
young Americans should be made to
the shores of Great Britain to attend
the international Christian Endeavor
convention in London, this unwritten
treaty would be ratified and sealed, and
that the alliance thus formed of myri-
ads of young hearts on both sides of
the Atlantic would do much not only
to hasten the overthrow OF the tyranny
and oppression of "the dying nations. =
but to establish the universal reign of
Jesus Christ in peace and righteous
ness.
Professor James E. Keller, who has
been chosen by the regents of the state
university of California to succeed e.
s. Holden as director of the Lick OBJ
servatory, is not yet AZ years old, but
he has won rare distinction in his field
Of work. It was he who made the first
observations through the big Lick tele-
scope.
The city of Bangor, Me-, wasn't hap
py until the government put mines in
the harbor, and now, according to the
Kennebec Journal, it is sending pro-
tests against the mines to Washington.
The British government is the owner
