The insuring of ones life is one OF
those things which one is most apt tc
put off. There are few, however, who
postpone what ought to be the newt
able until so late period in life as did
the tough old smack-owner of Grimsby.
When he presented himself at the in
surance office he was naturally asked
his age. His reply was "Ninety-four."
"Why, my good man, we cannot insure
you" said the company. "Why not?
he demanded. why, you are ninety
four years of age" what of that3'
the old man cried. "Look at statistics
and they will tell you that fewer men
die at ninety-four than at any othe,
age."-London Business Illustrated.

A Paris doctor o. the highest reputa.
tion, whose methods are not in the
least irregular, because he has sub.
mitted all the details to the Academy of
Medicine, declares that he has found n
sure cure for boils and carbuncles. He
has used 1t on many patients. and says
confidently that by the injection of n
certain solution, the composition of
which he has laid before the fellow
members of his profession, keeping
nothing back. he can stop the pain of
the worst boils and carbuncles in a
few hours, and can bring about n com.
plete cure within reasonable time.
What benefactor to suffering hu.
manity this doctor will be, provided his
discovery is found to be effective in q
wide range of tests and among the
average of the afflicted in many lands
and nations. This announcement
seems to be almost too good to be true
1t was hard luck for Job that this
Paris doctor was not practicing in the
land of Uz in the time of Eliphaz the
Temanite.-New York Tribune.

Imports of Foreign Iron.

The strike in the anthracite coal re-
gions and a short coke supply have
resulted in an insufficient quantity OF
steel-making pig iron, and arrange
ments are being made to import o
large amount. "Bessemer iron from
the west coast of England can be laid
down in Plttsburg at $21.50 as
against $22.50 to $22.75 now paid for
small lots of domestic iron" II iror
can be imported, and after paying 81
ton duty. is sold in Pittsburg for less
than the domestic article. 1t must be
either. that the latter is vastly SUI
perlor or else that American consum.
ers are paying an enormous tribute to
the domestic producers of iron.

With lace Of gold upon his coat,
And powder on his wavy hair,
"A courtly smile upon his lip,
He paused beside the scaffold stair.
The headsman waited, cowled and grim,
With stains Of crimson on his sark;
But DER her slender hand he bent,
"Let me go first, the way is dark"
She wore filmy kerchief crossed,
A lowered gown of rich brocade;
Her silken slippers, sewn with pearls,
BY prison floors were soiled and irayed.
When last they met, his .ribboned lutte
Made music in n moonlit park;
But now their love had come to this,
"Let me go first, the way is dark"
