origin of Life Insurance.

The practice OF insuring human lives
first came into use two hundred years
ago-to be exact, ON October ., 1893
and credit for being the first to give
real life to the movement is due to
the Rev. DR.. William Assheton, of Lon
don. On the date above mentioned the
Insurance Society for the Benefit OF
Widows and Orphans was incOrporat-
ed in London, its statutes and bylaws
being framed in accordance with the
views set forth in book, which was
published in 1851, and which was en-
titled Natural and Political Inves-iSa-
lions in Regard to the Current Lists
Of Births and Deaths.
John Graunt, wealthy Londoner,
was the author of this book, and AS
shelton was so impressed when he read
il that he at once took steps to form a
life insurance company. He succeeded,
but not without much difficulty, and
among the provisions OF this first COM
pany were the following: A married
man, not more than thirty years old,
could be insured for c 1000. one not
more than forty for 6 500, and one not
more than sixty for G300 Sailors and
persons travelling to distant countries
would not be insured, and suicides, as
we'll as those condemned to death, lost
the benefits of their insurance.
The company fiourished during tina
first year, but soon aferward the di-
rectors learned to their cost that the
expenditure was much In excess OF the
receipts, and consequently they raised
the rate considerably. This did not
help them much, however, and the re-
suit was that Parliament finally came
to their relief by granting the company
an annual subsidy Of $4,000. From this
time forward the company did good
business and it was not long before
similar companies were started
throughout Europe, as well as In this
country.

The ordinary farmer would hardly

This is without doubt the biggest
plough in the world. 1t cuts a furrQw
four feet wide and was originally built
for the purpose of making irrigation

start the plough in motion eighty
teams of oxen are required. So the

He was visited at the jail during the

r.uch consolation as a parent could un-

seems to appreciate his fathers love but
