The Sun Life Assurance Company
of Canada is one of the most progress
sive companies doing business to-day
in the world. In looking over the
annual statement for the past year we
find that large gains were made in all
important items. The Company is
!, growing stronger as each year rolls
around.
The Company paid to policyholders
last year nearly three million. and
since organization the amount is S23.-
243.l67. The life assurance in force
stands at nearly l30 millions.
The Company's growth during the
past ten years is as follows: Income
in 1899, S2.596207 1909. ST.
:, 77S.l32; assets in 1899 S9.247. .664--
in 1909 this item is S32. 800. .996; the
life assurances in force in 1899 were
! S52. 500, ,035-in 1909 this item 10
nearly $50 millions.
This 10 certainly fine progress. and
one the officers and stockholders may
be proud Of. The Company is well
managed by President Robertson Ma
cauIay and Managing Director T. B.
Macaulsy.
They are plotting this stsunch old
Company along safe lines, and have
built up an institution which is looked
upon as one Of the strongest life as

srArEIoANs 10 SETTLERS.

The system in vogue in New South
Wales for assisting agricultural and
pastoral settlers is of especial inter
est at this time.
In 1899 the Government Of New
South Wales, recognizing that some
assistance was needed to restore pros
perity to the large section of the
farming community which had suf-
fered serious loss by drought, inaug-
urated system of advances to set
tiers on lines similar to those followed
by the Credit Foncier of France. The
act providing for this project, passed
in 1899, was frequently amended, UNI
til in 1906 the powers of the board,
which until then had managed the
whole undertaking of advances to set
tiers, were transferred to the commits
sioners of the Government Savings
Bank of this state and the maximum
and minimum advances were then
fixed, and have since so remained at
$4,000 CS9733) and $4,000 ($243,325)
respectively.
The popularity and success of this
scheme can we'll be gagged by the
fact that up to December 81, 1909,
S456 advances, totaling &1,S62,S54
,,632,329) were made to settlers, av-
eraging e161 C$7SD per loan. Of this
total 1881 advances, representing
e566,1O2 ($2,754,935), had been re-
paid at the date mentioned, leaving
1923 advances current. The average
balance of principal was 1920 (S1O7Ol
per loan.
In explanation of the real purpose
of these advances and the terms Of
their granting, the commissioners are
empowered to make advances upon
mortgages of land in fee simple or of
land held under conditional purchase
or lease, settlement purchase or lease,
or homestead grant or selection. The
advances are made for repaying eX-
listing encumbrances, purchasing land,
or to effect improvements, develop re-
sources or build homes.
The conditions under which loans
are repayable vary according to the
circumstances of the individual case.
The maximum loan to any one person
is $4,000 ($9733), the rate of interest
ranging between Az and 8 per cent,
and the maximum period for repay
ment is thirty-one Gen

A DREAM AND ITS RESULT.

In 1922 a terrible epidemic deci'
mated Marseilles and Provence, and
Sardinia owed it's escape to a dream
At this period the Viceroy of Sardinia
dreamed that the disease had invaded
Sardinia and that the ravages were
flightful. When the Vlceroy awoke
he was deeply impressed by his dream
and a little later a merchantmen put
in an appearance at Cagliari and de-
manded a place to berth, says the
London Globe.
The Sandman refused, and when It
was limited that the merchantmen
wanted to land some sick the Viceroy
threatened to train the guns of the
forts Upon the vessel II the captain
did not depart instantly The people
of Cagliari thought tnat the Viceroy
was mad, y great was their joy
later when they learned that this very
ship, which went to Marseiles, was
responsible for introducing The
plague into the FAM port.

GIFT OF FINE cLolsoNNEs.


The Brooklyn Institute Museum an
nounces that S. p. Avery, who gave
the museum ninety-two pieces of Chi
nese cloisonne from his private col
lection a year ago, making the muse
ums collection the finest public ex-
hibit of the kind in the country, has
added to his original gift forty-five
pieces purchased by him at the recent
sale of the Robert Hoe collection and
twelve additional pieces from his own
collection. These gifts, Mr.. Goodyear,
curator of fine arts in the museum,
says, give the museum collection
unrivaled not only in the United
States but also among the public col.
lections of Western Europe.
The entire collection is now on
view in the square eastern gallery on
the first floor of the museum, where
it fills seven large upright cases out
of the nine which the gallery has
space for. While Mr.. Avery has not
disclosed the prices paid for these &C.
questions, the pieces in the original
gift were valued at between $4,000
and $4,000 and the recent additions
estimating roughly their commercial
value, are worth not less than $751;
600.
The collection is remarkable for the
rare quality and beauty of color as
well as the number of objects. The
three smallest vases from the Hoe col
lection, ranging as they do from ten
to fourteen inches in height, would be
considered large in any other compa-
ny, but they become small when COM
pared with the four taldSt which
range from twenty-four to thirty
inches in height
One case holding the collection is
dominated by a great Kylin, or con-
ventional monster, of the Ming dy-
nasty. Beneath it is placed Ming
palace brazier thirty inches long by
twenty inches broad and nine inches
high.
This case is balanced by another
which has for it's upper center piece
a Kang-hsi dove shaped altar wine
vessel on wheels twenty inches high,
while the lower center piece is a
Chien-lung circular incense-burner
twenty-five inches in diameter and
twenty inches high. A third case has
as it's center piece a Ch'ien-lung drag
on entwined stand with hanging enam-
eled basket which is thirty-eight inches
high. This case contains also four
tripod incense burners and a Bud
dhist shrine, both of the Chi-ienlung
period.
In a fourth case are placed the six
largest vases of the collection (four
Ming, one K'ang-hsi and one CHEN
lung, surrounded by a drum-shaped
garden seat of the K'ang-hsi period.
The coloring of this latter piece, the
curator thinks, makes it one of the
most beautiful of the collection.-New

THREE-sALL BUSINESS.


I'VE have one client who comes
here on an average of once month
for a quick loan," said a pawnbrokers
clerk, as reported by the New York
Sun. About three years ago he
opened a real estate office near us
and moved HIS family into an apart
ment in the same building.
zone day he brought in three beau
tiful blue white diamonds, ring and
a pair of ear clamps He asked the
boss to look them over carefully and
say what he would lend on them. They
we're such good stones that the old
man agreed to put up $4,000.
"Well, I don't want anything to-
day, but may have to have a bundle
of money suddenly some time, AMI
then l don't want to wait for an ap-
praisement,' he said.
within a week he rushed in and
got $4,000 on the diamonds and repaid
it in four days. He explained that
only a certified check or cash would
go in taking a real estate title and
that it was cheaper sometimes to pay
few days interest than to go to the
bank. He has got the same sort of
loans many times since.

the day before pay day. On the same
day nearly every week he walks in,
pushes his watch over the counter
with the remark: Five dollars. I'll
be in for the watch tomorrow. Please
don't let it run down So we wind
his watch, and he always comes for
t on the dot.
: "A few days ago a nearby jeweler
hurried in with about $4,000 worth Of
stock in a tray and got $1)O in big
bills. He explained when he redeemed
his goods next day that a good but
eccentric customer had sprung a
$1,000 bill on him, and rather than
admit that he couldn't change it, he
came here for a loan while the clerk
kept the customer interested.
"a lot of rich women whose hus-
bands are neither prompt nor liberal

ers of pawnshops. They usually pay
promptly after they get their house

MANY people use the loan Offices in
stead of safe deposit vaults. Only
yesterday a man going away for
two weeks hunt borrowed S. on a
5000 watch and 500 on $4,000 worth
of jewelry that he neither wanted to
risk at his home nor in the wilds of
Canada. It's an old story about furs
being hooked in spring and summer
clothes in the fall to keep them from
the moths.
"Jewelry and rug dealers very often
put some of their stock in pawn to
raise cash to tide over a tight stu

without hurting their credit, while an
application for a loan on such secur-
ity to a bank would be likely to lead
