INSURED FOR 10000. 900.
That Is Said TO BE the Aggregate OF
Policies on the Prince of Wales

From the Chicago Record.
A big insurance man told me recently
in New York that the Prince of Wales
was the heaviest risk of any patron of
the insurance business, and that his death
would cost English, German French and
American companies not less than So
100000.
mo other person carries 20 per cent. OF
that insurance" he Said, but compare
lively little of it is for the benefit II his
family; perhaps not more than $1,000 OOO
Some years ago large policies were taken
out by his creditors as security for money
loaned. If he should ever pay his debts
they would, of course, revert to him, and
might be carried for the benefit of his
family, but his premiums, like the premium
on all of the royal families of Europe. are
very high-much higher than those paid
by private individuals for the same
amount of Insurance.
1T is a curious fact" continued nv in
surance friend, who spends a good deal
of his time in England, that 100000 or
100000 Of insurance, perhaps more than
that has been placed on the life of the
Prince of Wales as a speculation by per
sons who do not know him and have never
had any relations with him whatever
This would not be possible under the in.
surance laws of the United States. but il
is allowed by some OF the English com
panies. over there any man can secure

a company which has recently had him
examined. Thus when the Prince of Wales
undergoes an examination for insurance
lots of spectators apply to the same COM
pany for policies on his life, or get certi-
fed copies of the report of the medical
examiner and use them with other COM
panies. 1t is pure speculation. They pay
a high premium, a margin, 50 to speak
or, to put it in another way, they book a
wager with the insurance companies that
the Prince will die before the total of
their premiums exceed the amount of the
policy Therefore many persons would be
financially benefited if Albert Edward
should drop off suddenly one of these fine
days. The Prince is perfectly aware OF
this fact. He knows very well what adj

He Would Write Poetry.

During the last year Of Lowell S
course at Harvard his father, DR.. Low
ell, spent most Of his time in Rome.
Young Lowell was, in the summer Of
his graduation, "rusticated," or sent
off to Concord in q sort Of studious
Punishment, under 4 preceptor, as q
punishment for pcrsistently failing to
attend morning prayers at the chapel.
This fact caused great CONSERVATION
among his classmates, for he had been
selected as class poet, and the rustica-
tion forbade his presence in Cambridge
until commencement week.
About this time q certain Cambridge
citizen went abroad and visited Rome,
where he called on DR.. Lowell and
gave him all the Cambridge news. He
went on thus with some Of the items:
'The parts for commencement have
been assigned. Rufus Ellis is the first
scholar and is to have the grafton"
DR.. Lowell expressed interest.
''Your son James has been rustEated
and will not return to- college until
commencement week"
The father expressed no particular
interest in this sad news: 1t evidently
gave him no distress.
"But the class have chosen him their
class poet"
ooh, dear" Or. Lowell broke out,
despalringly. Games promised ME lie

Reuben Fields is certainly unique
character. The editor first knew him
in Johnson county, Mo-, about 50 years
ago. He was then just about grown
and possessed wonderful gifts in mat
terS Of mathematics, and it was said
you could never put question to him
for which he would not have an an
swer at his tongues end. On one oc-
casion two travelling men were discuss
ing his case, and one bet the other he
could not spring question on Rube
which would puzzle him for an answer.
The first time he met Rube he said In
an abrupt manner, "Rube, if m Indian
should come along and cut OF the top
Of your head and take your brains
away, what would you do?"
Quick rs flash Rube replied, Go
round without any, like you do
1t Is needless to say he paid the bet,
with probably the cost Of n western

native OF Bath county. He would new

DfsracIi,s ONLY Smile.

Disraeli, it is said, only laughed once
IN the house Of commons. Mr.. Glad
stone had made an impassioned speech
in favor Of the union of Wallachia and
Moldavia. Mr.. Disraeli, speaking in
opposition, pointed out that the result
would be the extinction Of the indc-
pendence Of; these people, and the only
thing left would be the remorse
(which would be painted with admira-
BILE eloquenec by the rhetorician or the
day."
In reply Mr.. Gladstone said that he
would not be guilty Of the affected
modesty Of pretending to be ignorant
that that designation, "the rhetorician
Of the day." was intended for him
self. Mr.. Disraeli interrupted with the
remark, II beg your pardon; really
did not mean that" Disraeli sat down
with q satisfied smile that told Of his
enjoyment.
Mr.. Gladstone's face expressed
amazement and indignation. His op-'
ponent had placed him in the mortify-
ing position Of applying remark to
himself which had no such personal
reference. Therefore Gladstone's wrath
and Disraelis smile. The Liberal lead
er proceeded with his speech and con-
demned the "sesquipedaian words and
inflated language Of the leader Of the
Conservatives.

TRIBUTE TO THE BROWNINGS.
An Unliterary Englishman Thought
They Were Americans.

Justin Mccarthy, in Literature.
j remember hearing a curious sort OF
tribute paid TO the genius of Robert Brown
ing and of his wife. 1t was at a London
dinner party some ten or twelve years ago,
and l remember that among those who sat
round the table were Mr. Leonard Courtney;
of Halloween, then Sir Charles Russell.
Among the guests, too, was distinguished
dead. man of great ability and political
position, but not gifted with any special
taste for literature or art, or perhaps l
should put it more correctly by saying, not
given by habit to the study of literature
or art. The talk turned upon modern poetry
and our friend, who have not named, sud-
denly told us that there were only two
modern poets whom he really cared for, and
that these were husband and wife, both
Americans. We all eagerly asked for the
names of these his favorte MINISTRIES, and
he astonished the company by telling us
that he was speaking of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Browning, who he declared were to
poets We were all a little staggered for
a while, and nobody quite knew what to
say. At length some one summoned up cour-
age enough TO insinuate that Mr.. and Mrs.
Browning were not American poets, but
English. Our friend shook his head blandly
and maintained his position. He said that
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Browning on the
drawing room table of every one whom he
visited in the United States, and that he
had always found the works of the same
authors lying on the tables OF all the Amer
leans he had known formerly in Paris. or
Dresden. or Florence, or Rome. Lately. he
added, he had been out OF the way of read
ing poetry, but he could never forget the
impression these two American poets had
made upon his mind. Then We all began to
understand. Robert and Elizabeth Barrett
Browning had undoubtedly found a much
earlier welcome among the American read
Ing public than among the public here in
their own country; and our friends early
assumption that they must be American
poets became somewhat more ineligible
and excusable than it had seemed to be at
first. told the story afterward to Robert
Browning, and he was greatly amused by
II. and indeed took Ii as a distinct COM
pliment. He acknowledged the fact that his
own writings especially had found appre-
citation in America much more quickly than
here at home; and he declared that our
friends opinion was, in its way, genuine
offering Of praise. / am we'll aware that
Herbert Spencer had at one time far
greater circle of admirers in the United
States than in England, and know that
myself became quite a person of interest
in more than one American household when
it turned out in the course of conversation
that i had actually seen and spoken with
Herbert Spencer, and was in the way of
meeting him as an acquaintance now and
then in London.
