reasons the total in her case was much
smaller than it is under existing cOndi-
tons.
The German emperor is reputed to be
personally i1sured-chiefly in his own
country-for several hundred thousand
pounds. Here. from various causes. his
life" is not too favorably regarded II
is, however infinitely better than that
of the car, which could probably not be
insured at present. save at a prOhibitive
premium. That of the sultan Of Turkey
Is in a similar position, partly, however
owing to his age; while the kings of
Spain and of Greece are regarded as rath-
er heavy risks. As for those Of Sweden
and of Norway, they could, if they de-
sired, probably add 20 their insurance at
rates rather under those asked from quite
ordinary people,.
The late King Carlos insured his life
in two companies for the sum OF 5-7S, O00
and il Is estimated that the total amount
that will be paid over 10 the Portuguese
royal family will be Gs0.000. II IS stated
that the queen has declared her inten-
ton of distributing the greater part of
this among the poor In Portugal
High as this amount is. there are sev-
eraI persons of wealth and prominence
who are insured for sums far exceeding
it. Some wealthy Americans are insured
for large amounts. Miss Helen Gould

quarters of a million in policies; but,
besides, he is insured for vast sums by

Thus, before the commencement of

sums. So many man who desires to
