LIFE Insurance has become matter Of
so much Importance that anything which
reflects upon the integrity with which tho
business is conducted cannot fail to prove a
serious injury. If the fears of many of the
policy holders in the defunct Continental
relating to a scheme between its stock
holders and the New Jersey Mutual,
by which both are to profit by the
acceptance by the lgtter of the policies
of the former, are well founded the
whole business would suffer immensely.
The whole subject is treated in another col
umn, and it will be seen from the state of
facts there presented that it is of the utmost
importance that the condition of the Conti-
mental Company should be fully explained
by the receiver who has its affairs in charge

Notwithstanding the efforts Of the British
people to appear satisfied with the perform
ance of polar expeditionists, deep sense Of
disappointment pervades the nation at the
failure Of the attempt to plant the ensign Of
st. George at the North Pole This feeling
is rather strongly expressed in English
journals, especially those devoted to naval
affairs, and bears out our own opinions OF
the conduct of the expedition. 1t is clear that,
although many difficulties presented them
selves to Captain Mares and his companions,
none were so great as to warrant the aban-
donment of the attempt after one seasons
trial. 1t looks as if conclusions based upon
the merest surmises were eagerly jumped
at to form an excuse for returning to
more comfortable climate than that expert
enced in latitude S3 deg. 20 min. 26 sec.
The instructions given by the Admiralty to
the commander of the exploring ships clearly
indicate that the government did not expect
the return Of the expedition until after at
least two years, and it was fully understood
that provision was to be made for the relief
Of the Alert and Discovery by sending ship
to the entrance of Smith Sound in 1877.
The story Of the trials and dangers of the
explorers certainly proves that their labors
in the cause Of science were not holiday
sports but no one expected they would be,
for the experience gathered by previous ex-
peditions showed that the Pole can only be
won by the most courageous efforts on the
part of those who seek to reach it.
Incongruities appear too frequently in
the official report submitted to the Ad-
miralty to secure for that document the
confidence of the English people. 1t reads
too much like paper prepared with the
special object Of giving good color to a
very poor piece of work. 1t is filed with
ridiculously so, that neutralize the effect
produced by the really interesting informa-
ton it contains and when it seeks to settle
the question of polar exploration by stating
that the Pole cannot be reached the effect is
to raise doubts instead of to in
sure conviction. Particular stress is
laid by Captain Mares on the perma-
nent character Of the ice formations
surrounding the Pole. He has given this
barrier Greek name and expects that to
settle everything; but he gives us the
soundings taken in sea covered perma-
nently, as he says, by ice one hundred and
twenty feet thick. We publish to-day a
long and interesting letter, with map of
the latest discoveries, from Dr. Hayes, the
Arctic explorer, who explains therein his
reasons for not accepting without further
question the report of Captain Mares and
his officers There is no doubt but that this
document will receive more attention from
the critics than the writers anticipated, and
that the enthusiasm that now greets the re-
turn of the explorers may be changed to q
feeling of another kind. We regret the
failure of Captain Mares but we would
much rather he would call it a failure and
spare us the details that only provoke smiles
from experienced Arctic navigators.

boy does, as the business of his whole life,
but as something which will have to be
dropped when at last she comes to the real
business Of life for woman, which is to be
a wife and mother


Now, 1t results from this that the women
who do not marry and who do enter the
labor market are in an exceptional position
they are disabled by many circumstances.
and by none more than that there remains
always the doubt in their minds and that OF
their employers whether they will not some
day leave off days work and marry. 1t is .
pity and hardship that women should labor
under any disadvantages, and the societies
which are established to seek and supply
work to women who want to work deserve the
public aid and sympathy.

whole poem, in fact, throbs with sunshine and is
musical with the murmurs of growing things. 1t Is
racy with the fullest life of the SOIL and the verse

Qualities TO which, as in the psalm OF the West"
a willful, caprieious element seems to have been
added. NE faults Of both are redundancy, and an
apparent abandon to the starts and bolts, no less
than to the speed of Fancy. They are in singular
contrast to the authors maturity of IDEAS and sug
gest an over-richness of material an accumulation
which has not been relieved by earlier utterances.
There is more Of the arabesque than the
