JAPANESE INSURE THEMSELVES.
New Laws Drive Foreign Companies
from Mikado's Isles.

Following the example of Germany,
the japanese government within the
last year issued regulations for the
foreign life insurance companies hav-
Ing agencies in Japan. that threaten
to drive all but the largest concerns
away, says the Kansas City Star. The
Emperor of Germany was so exacting
in his demands that all the American
companies wltndrew after many
months of fruitless negotiations.
The Japanese government stopped
short Of the extreme point of the Ger
man contention, but the obligation to
deposit guaranty fund of 100000
yens (S50,000) before beginning opera
tons and, in the case Of life-insurance
companies, to deposit a further sum
equivalent TO the annual reserve set
aside by each company, for the benefit
and protection Of policyholders, has
seemed onerous enough.
The German Emperor did not pro-
pose to have the fatherlaIH drained of
money to profit the companies deposit
ing and investing 1t In America and
enrichlng the New York money mar
ket, wherefore the mailed fist fell per-
manently upon those great financial
concerns and they left Germany.
The Japanese government observed
many things while Its hands were tied
by the old treaties and has been slow
to reach out for the foreign insurance
companies. 1t will let the alien con-
Germs remain, but they must become
virtually japanese companies and all
the guaranty funds and investments
are required to be put in Japanese
bonds of specified issues.
Having had a free hand oil along
and n large and increasing business,
the foreign insurance agents strained
every nerve since the government or
der was issued last June to have the
terms modified in some way. The Off
Gals remaining obdurate, all the COM
panies are preparing to close up their
affairs here. Existing policies will be
continued and premiums on them col
lccted and settlements made at de-
cease, expiration, etc. but otherwise
the American life insurance companies
have no future business in Japan.

No Breed of Black Sheep.

A black sheep belongs to no particu
lar breed though at times he appears
III the focks of nearly all the pure
breeds. In England he is more COM
monty seen In the Suffolk tlocks, and
it is noteworthy fact that the suffolk
breeders have all they can do to keep
the blackish and rayb.ack tendency
from asserting itself both in the skin
and fleece. Black sheep frequently
appear in pure bred Leicester fiocks,
and to some extent in Lincoln and
Devon Longwools, and the tendency
is noted in the black spots on the skin;
more frequently seen on the ears of
even the beSt-bred sheep OF these long
wool families, thus terrifying the be-
het expressed by DR.. Henry Stewart
mat the tendency to black in the Lei
eester owes its origin to the black
ram known to have been used by
bakeWell in the perfection of the
breed 100 years ago. And it is not I'M
reasonable to suppose that the black
sheep which now and then appear in
Inc Down and long-wool breeds, near
all OF which have been more or less
improved through the use of Blackwell
o'ood, are traceable to that great
sheep builders handiwork.-She

with an everlasting love; therefore
with loving kindness have drawn
thee o! If we feel that we cannot
say Christ has drawn us. for our
hearts feel so cold and dead, so filed
with earthly cares, so fill ed with love
OF the world, then now should go ND
from the depth of every such heart the
prayer-O, my Father, draw me to
thyself.
1t is Il manifested love. In all his
human life the love OF Christ was man
ifested, made plain, brought down to
the comprehension Of the youngest
child. Greater love hath no man
than this, that n man lay down his
life for his friends" Christ's love was
manifested first in the incarnation in
that act OF infinite condescension
when he took upon himself the form
Of slave and led that life of human
ity, so that no one could doubt the
love of Christ, for his love was not
only one OF doctrine, but Of deed.
Christ's love is also a personal love.
Not only Gid he love The world which
he came to redeem from sin and death,
but he loves each person I'm the world
The apostle of the Gentles says. lilo
loved me and gave himself for me"
Jesus as he looks down upon us all
now knows just what Is keeping us
back from him, what the cords are
that are drawing us away from him
and making us struggle against his
love- O! let us all pray to him to
strengthen our wills that we may snap
asunder those cords and be able to say
MY Beloved is mine ana am his"
Christs Is a domestic love. Think
Of him in that home OF Lazarus ana
Martha and Mary. He gave to those
three love from the depths of his
heart, and they offered him n home Of
rest and peace and love. What love h.
had for Lazarus! He shed tears Mt his
grave, and those tears not only showed
his love, but they show that though
our Lord was the strongest man that
ever iycd-strong as any man, tender
as any woman--hc was not ashamed
to shed tears.
Christ's was forboarng love. In
! speaking of this | can hardy forget to
remind you what II forhearing love our
| Lord showed when he was about TO
! give that pledge Of his love at the last
supper. Among the assembled guests
was Judas and our Savior gave him

To Move Wire Fences.

1t often becomes necessary to move
a fence from one part Of the farm to
another. 1t is a simple matter to move
posts, but the wire presents a more
difficult problem. The most common
method Is to slowly and laboriously
roll it up on barrel, haul it to the
place where it is wanted and as slowly
unroll it again. A much better and
quicker way is to take a couple of old
wheels, the larger the better, and fas.
ten them together by mailing pieces Of
board to the spokes next the axle.
The wheels when fastened together
should be about two feet apart. Now
take two planks and fasten firmly to
