Origin of Life Insurance.

there was formed the first life insur-
ance company. 1t was called the Ami
cable Society For Perpetual Assurance
Office. 1t was mutual benefit con-
Germ. Each member without reference
to age, paid a fixed admission fee and
a fixed annual charge per share on from
one to three shares, and at the end of
the year a portion of the fund aecu-
INFLATED was divided among the heirs
of those who had died in accordance
with the number of shares each dead
person had held. Out of this company,
with its crude and imperfect methods,
life insurance as it exists today has
grown. "-Philadelphia Record

OF Stuart Robson it is said that in
his youth he was an incorrigible pfac-

Bill, one summer, and on-the Liverpool
train Bill fell asleep. While he slept
Robson stole his ticket from his pocket.
In a little while the conductor was to
be seen approaching.
"Tickets, Bill Get out your ucket!'
Robson said.
Bill, after a frantic search, sa1d'
with an oath, that his ticket was lost.
Robson then advised him to escape
paying by hiding under the seat. This
Bill decided to do, and when the con-
ductor appeared he lay on his back on
the dusty floor quite invisible.
Robson surrendered both tickets,
whereupon the conductor said:
Here are two tickets. Where is
your friend, sir?"
"Under the seat there" the actor an
swered. 81 don't know why he wanted
to avoid you"
The conductor, surprised, looked I'M
der the seat, and Bill smiled at him
sheepishly and then crawled awkward

ton of Il tire" having its branches from
top To bottom dccked with burning can
dies, with the figure of Il child at the
very top sending forth II brilliant light.
This tree in some way symbolized
Christianity, the candles representing
souls and the child IMPLYING Christ.
1t is said that the Christmas tree was
adopted in France and England in
1910. Prince Albert is credited with
having introduced it in England the
first Christmas following his marriage,
which was in 1910. Within few years
after that one of the trees at Windsor
castle bore gifts valued at $40 1000. But
more than Il century before Prince AL
bert's advent an improvised Christmas
tree, called Il ''besant,' was carried in
professions in England at Yuletide. 1t
consisted of Il pole decked with holly
or other evcrgrccns and ribbons, to
gether with oranges and apples and
sometimes Il pair of dolls
The irrcpressible desire for novelty
has led to unique variations in Christ
mas trees a society woman having Il
couple of valuable pet dogs got up Il
dogs Christmas tree and invited forty
or more of the ncighboring thorough
bred pups to the ovation
The device by which Santa Claus
Is cooped up in the trunk of Il portable
tree, with his head showing out at
times, is very simple, yet very taking
with young folks. 1t is accomplished
by having two empty barrels without
heads fastened one above the other
and covered with moss, bark and
llchen. Through Il knot hole Santa's
voice Is heard. The structure being on
casters, the imp inside can move 1t
about the platform to the infinite de-
light of the children.
Another device for having a voice is
sue from the Christmas tree is accom-
plished by the use of the telephone, the
receiver being hung in the tree. The
absent ones can then send familiar
tones to those present, and when the
speakers are very dear and unavoida-
Oily absent the message Is the best
Christmas present that can be con-
ceived Of for the occasion. An cleo
trical outfit for lighting Christmas
trees has been invented at small cost.
One clever boy used 1t with novel re-
suits by applying it to magnificent
evergreen standing in front Of his
home. 1t was lighted on Christmas
eve after snowstorm which decked
the branches with fieecy garb. The
heat Of the lamps melted the snow, and
then 1t froze in all manner of shapes.
When lighted up again on Christmas
night the pendent icicles and icy armor
glittered like myriad Of gems sus-
pended in the glare Of shifting lights.
