This was money actually paid to policy-holde- rs or theirbeneficiaries exclusive of what wasdisbursed in dividends and for surrendered policies. These two latteritems bring the total payments topolicy-holde- rs up to the remarkablefigure of $122,978,718.

The action of the Doug-las county convention mixes mat-ters up considerably and it is difficult to predict the outcome of thestate convention.
speaking of the business situa-tion, the St. Louis Globe-Democr- at
of Saturday says: The politicalconditions which affect businesscontinue to be "mixed." Nobodydoubts that the republican nationalconvention will make a square declaration m favor of the gold standard, but there is some chance thatthe democratic convention will becarried by the silver men. Of coursethe democrats can not win in anyevent, and a silver platform willmake their defeat overwhelmingand lasting--. Still, a surrender tsilver by them will have a bad effecion the country's credit abroad,where their impotency is notas wellknown as it is here. However, inthis country the effect of a silverdeclaration at Chicago will not beperceptible on the.exchanges or ingeneral business.

In 1892 the very .year in which thefree-trade- rs were denouncing- - theMcKinley law, with its reciprocityclause, "a Chinese wall" that shuus out of "the markets of theworld" the export trade of thiscountry reached its high-wat- er
mark; the total value of exportsbeing-- $1,030,270,148. This, wasgreater than that of any precedingyear by $luu,UUUtUUU, and mnnitelygreater than that of any succeeding--
year. TJie year iobo was one ofamine, occasioned by the certaintyof domestic tariff tinkering-- . Buthe reciprocity agreements, thoughthreatened, were hot yet repealedaccordingly the only increase of ourforeign trade was in our dealingswith those countries between whichand our own such agreements stilwere in force. Our increase of tradewith them was $3,500,000 over thetotal of 1892, and $16,440,721 over1891, which was the year prior tothe signing- - ot agreements.
SHOULD WOMAN PROPOSE?
Mrs.Gllxnoor's Witty and Timely Answer tothe Question In the Now York Herald.The New York Herald has been hav
ing a letter contest on the subject, "HowFar May a Woman Go to EncourageMan to Propose?"
Mrs. James Gilmour of Brooklynwrote the winning letter, and . as thesubject is one that will interest allwomen, and as lier letter is especiallywitty, here are Mrs. Gilmour's ideas asshe gavo iUem to Tho Herald:
Solomon, tne wisest man tuat everlived, says of a good woman, "Her priceis far above rubies. ' ' Certainly, from hisextraordinary and extensive experiencewith tho sex, I should consider himcompetent to pass judgment.
We will presume that you aro"good, womanly" woman, such as hedescribes, and that you are desirous ofapproaching a mau ou the subject ofmatrimony that, you aro anxious toinduce him to propose.
First. Select the man on whomyou intend to bestow the privilege ofyour attention, noto his behavior andgeneral conduct, and then, if you deemhim worth tho winning, hold fast tohim. We aro strictly enjoined to ' 'holdfast to that which is good. "
becond. in your alter companionship with him bear in mind the factthat you are a woman of great price"far above rubies," and you will nevercompromise yourself by any indecorousness of speech or manner.
fc5eei ins society in sucn a mannerthat he is not cognizant of being soughtafter; be bright and cheerful in hispresence : sympathize witli liim in nistroubles; stimulate him to best effortsin his business affaira ; cheer him whenhe is despondent and encourage him toconfide in you.
Dress becomingly for him, but nevergaudily. When ho is absent from youwrite him a few interesting, chatty letters, wnerem, it you are an attept inthe art, you can weave a few insinuatmg expressions wnicn may worn wonders. "The pen is mightier than thesword."
Above all else, provo yourself a goodlistener. If ho monopolizes three-third- s
of tho conversation, you will have themore chance to study his character, for"out of the abundance of tho heart themouth speaketh. " I guarantee that youwill get in your thirds in the sweet byand by.
I should scarcely advise your treatinghim to specimens of your cookery. Hismother might excel in the culinary art.Moreover, it was an uncooked applewith which Mother Eve beguiled Adam. Of tho righteousness of that trans-action I shall say nothing ; of the success everything, in that she moldedAdam to her will Time enough to
feed the brute" when you have to doso, then leed him to your neart's content, and feed him well.
If you are making any progress withhim, accord him trifling familiarities,which may be increased in proportionto his affability and his interest in you.Your womanly intuition should by thistime enable you to judge whether ornot youliavo found favor in his sightand to act accordingly. "Be ye wise asserpents, but harmless, as doves."
Should there spring up between youa mutual regard, treat him to some ofthose dainty feminine touches which areindescribable, not because they arewomanly or wrong, but because theirlanguage is mute and sacred to the twopersons most concerned.
Do not always agree with him. It issometimes wiser to agree to disagree.
If you have a spark of wit in your nature, you ought by this time to havemade yourself so necessary to his exist-ence that he will mis3 you sadly whenabsent and will besrin to realize that
it is not good for man to be alone."Though all progresses well, draw the
line at promiscuous osculation. Neverpermit him to kiss you. That is theprivilege of the engaged. But since theapostle says, "Greet ye one anotherwith an holy kiss, " you might vouchsafe him just one some night at part-ing, perhaps. But if he attempts to return it do not permit it. Tell him, "Itis more blessed to give than to receive. "
Finally, yon might inform him thatyou can put him in the way of findinga "good thing," and refer him to thenineteenth chapter of Proverbs, thetwenty-secon- d verse. If he be a manlysort of fellow, and cares anything foryou, he will doubtless follow the exhortation of the prophet and thus findfavor with you and the Lord.
Should your innate modesty rebelsomewhat at this suggestion, you mayconsole yourself by remembering that itis indeed your leap year privilege.
If you are the dear, womanly, nestling creature you ought to be, he musthave proposed long ago. If he has not,discard him, for either he is not worthyof you or you are not "en rapport"with. him.

OF ENGLAND.
Chronicles of a Pair of Unpopular Reigns.
HAE0LD I A2TD HAEDI0AMTE,
Death of the Former Generally Approved.Report Says That Hardicanute Drank.Died From Eating Roast Pig A Kins'Laconic Answer to His Enemies.
Copyright, 1800, by J. B. Lippincott Company.
CHAPTER VILLet us now look for a moment into
the reigns of Harold I and Hardicanute,a pair of unpopular reigns, which, although brief, "were yet long enough.
Queen Emma, of course, desired thecoronation of Hardicanute ; but, thoughsupported by Earl Godwin, a man ofgreat inuflciico and educated to a highdegree for his tune able indeed, it issaid, at a moment's notice, to add upthings and reduce things to a commondenominator it could not be.
Harold, tho compromise candidate,reigned from 1037 to 1040. He gainedGodwin to his side, and together theylured the sons of Emma by Ethelredviz, Alfred and Edward to town, and,as a sort of royal practical joke, put outAlfred's eyes, causing his death.
Harold was a swift sprinter and wascalled "Harefoot" by those who wereintimate enough to exchange calls andcoarse anecdotes with him.
He died in 1040 A. D., and nobodyever had a moro general approval fordoing so than Harold.
Hardicanute now came forth from hisapartments and "was received as kingwith every demonstration of joy, andfor some weeks he and dyspepsia had itall their own way on Piccadilly. (Report says that he drank! Several timeswhile under the influence of liquor heabdicated the throne with a dull thud,but was reinstated by the polica )
Em-age- d by the death of Alfred, theking had the remains of Harold e.xhum- -
ed and thrown into a fen. This a-f- en
sivo act showed what a great big, broadnature Hardicanute had : also the kindof timber used in making a king inthose days.
Godwin, however, seems to have beena good political aerooat and was onmore sdies of more questions than anybody else of those times. Though connected with the white cap affair bywhich Alfred lost his eyesight and hislife, he proved an alibi, or spasdomdicparesis, or something, and, having stood
"KING HAROLD IS DEAD, SIRE."a compurgation and "ordeal" trial, wasreleased. The historian very truly butinelegantly says, if memory serves thewriter accurately, that Godwin was such
political straddle bug that ho earlyabandoned the use of pantaloons andreturned to the toga, which was theonly garment able to stand the strain ofhis political cuttings up.
The shire mote, or county court ofthose days, was composed of a dozenthanes or cheap nobles, who had toswear that they had not read tho ers
and had not formed or exprcss-x- l anopinion and that their minds were in astate of complete vacancy. It was a sortof primary jury, and each could pointwith pride to the vast collection he hadmade of things he did not know andhad not formed or expressed an opinionabout.
If one did not like the verdict of thiscourt, he could appeal to the king on acertiorari or some such thine: as that.Tho accused could clear himself by hisown oath and that of others, but with-out these he had to stand what was call-ed the "ordeal," which consisted inwalking on hot plowshares without ex-
pressing derogatory opinion regardingthe plowshares or showing contempt ofcourt. Sometimes the accused had torun his arm into boiling water. If afterthree days the injury had disappeared,the defendant was discharged and coststaxed against the king.
Hardicanute only reigned two years,and in 1042 A. D. died at a nuptialbanquet and cast a gloom over thowhole thing. In those times it was acommon thing for the king or some ofthe nobility to die between the roast pigand the pork pie. It was not unusualto see each noble with a Toast pig tete-a-tet- e,
each confronting the other, theliving and the dead.
At this time it is said by the old set-
tlers that hog cholera thinned out thenobility a good deal, whether directlyor indirectly they do not say.
The English had now wearied of theDanish yoke. "Why wear the Danishyoke," they asked, "and be ruled witha rod of iron?"
Edward, half brother of EdmundIronside, was therefore nominated andchosen kinsr. Godwin, who seemed to
be specially gifted as a versatile ctin--"
noisseur of "crow, turned up as hispolitical adviser.
Edward, afterward called "tho Con-
fessor, " at once stripped Queen Emmaof ail her means, fcr he had no love leftfor her, as she had failed repeatedly toassist hizz vhen ho was an. outcast, andafterward the new king placed her injail (or gaol, rather) at Winchester.This should teach mothera' to be moreobedient or they will surely come tosome bad end.
Edward was educated in ITormandyand so was quite partial to the Nor-mans. He appointed many of them toimportant positions in both church andstate. Even the see of Canterbury wasgiven to a Norman. The see saw how itwas going, no doubt, and accepted theposition. But let us pass on rapidly tcsomething else, for thereby variety maybe given to these pages, and, as one factseems to call for another, truth, whichfor the time being may be apparentlycrushed to earth, may rise again.
Godwin disliked the introduction oithe Norman tongue and Norman cus-toms in England, and when Eustace,count of Boulogne and author of thesausage which bears his name, commit

ted an act of violence against the peopleof Dover, they arose as one man droveout the foreigners and fumigated thetown as well as the ferry running toCalais.
This caused trouble between Edwardand Godwin, which led to the deposi-tion of tho latter, who, with his sons,was compelled to flee. But later he re-turned, and his popularity in Englandamong the home people compelled theking to sh him.
Soon afterward Godwin died, andHarold, his son, succeeded him success-fully. Godwin was an able man and gotseveral earldoms for his wife and rela-tives at a time when that was just whatthey needed. An earldom then was nota mere empty title, with nothing in it buta blue sash and a scorbutic tempera-ment, but it gave almost absolute au-thority over one or more shires and wasalso a good piece of property. These his-torical facts took place in or about theyear 1054 A. D.
Edv ard having no children, togetherwith a sort of misgiving about ever having any to speak of, called home Edward the Outlaw, son of Edmund Iron-side, to succeed to the throne, but scarce-ly had he reached the shores of Englandwhen he died, leaving a son, Edgar.
William of Normandy, a cousin ofthe king, now appears on the scene. Heclaimed to be entitled to the first crackat the throne, and that the king hadpromised to bequeath it to him. He evenlured Harold, the heir apparently, toNormandy, and while under the influ-ence of stimulants compelled Harold toswear that he would sustain William'sclaim to the throne. The wily Williamalso inserted some holy relics of greatpotency under the altar used for swear--
g purposes, but Harold recoveredwhen he got out again into the fresh airand snapped his fingers at William andhis relics.
Jan. o, 106G, Edward died, and wasburied in Westminster abbey, whichhad just been inclosed and the roof puton.
Harold, who had- - practiced a littlewhile as earl, and so felt that he couldreign easily by beginning moderatelyand only reigning forenoons, ascendedthe throne.
Edward tho Confessor was a good,durable monarch, but not brilliant. Howas the first to let people touch him onTuesdays and Fridays for scrofula or
nng'seviL" He also made a set oflaws that were an improvement on someof the old ones. He was canonized abouta century after his death by the pope,but as to whether it "took" or not thehistorian seems strangely dumb.
He was the last of the royal Saxonline, but ether self made Saxons reignedafter him in torrents.
Edgar Atheling, son of Edward theOntlaw, was the only surviving maleof the royal line, but he was not oldenough to succeed to tho throne, andHarold H accepted the portfolio. Hewas crowned at Westminster ou the dayof King Edward's burial. This infuriat-ed William of Normandy, who remind-ed Harold of his first degree oath andhis pledge that he would keep it "orhave his salary cut from year to year. "
Oh, how irritated William was! Hegot down his gun and bade the etherNormans who desired an outing to dothe same.
Trouble also arose with Tcstig, theking's brother, aud his Norwegian ally,Hardrada, but the king defeated the al- -

lied forces at Stamford bridge, nearYork, where both of these misguidedleaders bit the dust. Previous to thebattle there was a brief parley, and theking told Tostig the best he could dowith him. "And what can you give myally, Hardrada?" queried the astuteTostig. "Seven feet of English ground," ofanswered the king roguishly, "or possi-
bly more, as Hardrada is rather tallerthan the average," or words to thateffect. "Then let the fight go on!" an-
sweredofTostig, taking a couple of hard
boiled eggs from his pocket and crack-
inghas
them on the pommel of his saddle,for he had not eaten anything but abroiled shote since breakfast.
That night both he and Hardrada oc-
cupied a double grave on the right handside of the road leading to York.

Bavases ef Abaistk.M. Bochefort's recent advocacy of
temperance las directed attention to theconsumption of absinth in Prance, andsomo startling statements in connectiontherewith are being made. Men as arule take tho absinth diluted in water,sipping it slowly. But the women totho nnnsfprnation of the doctors, insist,as a rule, on drinking it "neat," withmost terrible results to their constitu-tions. The number of brilliant menwhom France has lost through the abuseof the opalescent but poisonous fluid,from the great poet Alfred de Musset,who used to bo picked up drunk andhalf dead every night in the streets, down,
to the celebrated artist and caricaturist,Andre Gill, is simply appalling. Anidea of the extent of the evil may begathered from the recent returns of theministry of finance, which show that atthe presentmoment there is a marchandde vin, or French absinth seller, to ev-
ery three houses in the French metropo-lis. Westminster Gazette.

A Vigorous Old Xady.One of these aged Maine people, Mr3.
Sally Pratt of Norway, who is 98 yearsold, is getting newspaper attention asan investor, managing her propertywithout assistance, and, it is said, so asto make money by every venture. Mrs.Pratt, whose maiden name was SallyGardener, was the daughter of JohnGardener, a fisherman and small farm-er at Poland, and when 23 years old shemarried Jacob Brown, the young couplesettling on a small farm in Poland. Byindustry and frugality they acquiredconsiderable property, including real es-
tate and two country stores. Mr. Browndied in 1850, and his widow managedthe business for ten years, at the end ofwhich time she married Zebedee Pratt,a pensioner of the war of 1812. Soonafter she sold her stores and part of he!real estate, investing the proceeds inbank stock, etc. As an instance of Mrs.Pratt's industry in her younger days, iiis told that one winter, during her hus-band's absence in Aroostook, she tookcare of 20 cattle and horses, did thehousework for six boarders and ran acountry store that did business enoughto employ two clerks.

tennis and cycling, the jersey is quitethe proper thing. They arc of any con-
ceivable color and combination, plaided,striped and woven in lozenge and otherfancy patterns. These useful waists areworn with substantial leather belts andare becoming, comfortable and econom-ical. Cyclers' suits are made in morofanciful manner than formerly, and inLondon aro frequently seen of whiteserge or mohair. The shapes are vari-ous, one of the latest being the empire,which is so constructed that either a --

died in New Orleans, went to that city.17 years ago from Connecticut and de-
voted herself to the work of Christian-izing and civilizing the Chinamen ofNew Orleans. Her first intention wasto work among the negroes, under, theauspices of the Congregational Missionboard of Norwich, Conn., but-th- e needsof the Chinese appealed to her morestrongly, and her self denying laborsamong them earned for her the admira-tion and respect of everybody in thecity..
