Their Peculiar Method of Dealing with Female Children. There were formerly many curious traits of character and queer customs that prevailed among the tribes inhab‘ iting the Upper Yukon country. Per- haps the most barbaric of all was in the treatment of the female infants. Just after the child is born she in en- trusted to someon-eof the opposite sex of advanced age, who has selected her for his future wife. During the time before arriving at that age when she becomes a wife, her male guardian, for such he now is, has to contribute :1 certain portion of his spoils of the chase to her support. If, before she arrives at that age, she displeases her lord. or he tires of supporting her, she is given no more food and is starved to death. Should a female be born and no man wants to provide for her and claim her as his future wife, then she is not allowed to live. All the halo infants are, however, brought up. as they will make good hunters. Consequently. it is estimated that for every female there are a hundred :nales. Both men and women dress alike, and one unaccustomed to them is un— able to distinguish one from the other unless very close. During the winter these people travel together with dogs and sleds. and in the summer by birch— bark canoes. They also convert their dogs and even their squaws, into pack animals, and it is a curious sight to see a long pack train of dogs loaded with twenty or thirty pounds each, and the line broken here and therewith a human being laboring under her pack of 100 pounds. Their canoes are very diminutive in size and of inferior con. struction, and ,it is an impossibility for one not accustomed to their use to sit in them without upsetting.‘ They ‘are -.’built to hold" but one person," and ithen sitting flat in, the bottom with knees curled under, so as to occupy the least space possible. ” " " " " These Indians are very moral in their habits and strictly honest.

I have probably been through more dangers “than the aver- age man,” and the man who made his pile in Arizona, coming back to Detroit ”out he might enjoy it, seemed to be asking a selection from his many .hrilling experiences. . 2 "They made me sheriff down there and I had one gang to deal with that had no trouble in keeping me worried :111 the time. They were the very worst type of border rufiians, and thought no more of human life than i did of wiping out a coyote. “One evening I had been scouting on my own responsibility, a tip having been given me that a little settlement in the lower part of the county was to he raided. Without the slightest warn- ing I came upon three of the gang and had my hands extended Skyward in a jiffy. It was the boast of the gang that they would put me- o-ut of the way, and it looked black. But a man thinks fast when his time seems short. “One of the trio was a colored giant. a terror and on bad terms with some of the gang. ‘lke,’ I shouted, as if commanding a regiment, ‘I appoint you a deputy sherifi. We‘ll wipe off the slate for you and you can hold the job as long as you want to. Nail that fellow next to you.’ “A little brief authority just caught the fellow. :10 took the drop on his man, the diversion gave me a chance at the other fellow, and it was a reg- ular triumphal procession we made to the county jail. Ike made as good an- oflicer as ever operated. in that rough country, and inside of three months we had the gang cleaned out.”-—Detroit Free Press.

HE comparative merits of’the. so-called “purely mutual” system of manage- ment for life insurance companies and of stock management are clearly shown by the following comparisons. We have selected the largest proxy-mutualacOmpany in the New England States (the Connec ticut Mutual, and compare it, with the ZETNA LIFE, the largeSt Com- pany with stock management. " E. The Connecticut Mutual, by its annual statement filed with the Insurance Commissioner of this State, January 1, 1897, shows that it has $525,093.79 more than its entire surplus, invested in real estate. (It increased its holdings of' real estate in 1896, $1,108,702.75). Its taxes repairs and_expenses on real estate in 1896 amounted to $298,675.90, or $42.91L31 more than its Cltil‘e income from~ that source, hence it appears from the sworn statement of that company that no in- come was realized-from its surplus, nor from the $525,093.79 (the excess of real estate over surplus), but, on the contrary it was behind from that source, as shown above. $42,911.31. , , Of the ZETNA LIFE’S surplus ($6,711,502.25), it had on the first of January last, as shown by its statement filed with the Commissioner, real estate amount- ing to $486,348.25, leaving of its surplus to be otherwise invested $6,225,154.00. Its net income from real estate amounted to $8,150.82. Its surplus not invested in real estate earned in 1896 5 1-10 per cent, or $317,482.85, to which add its in- come from real estate as above, makes $325,633.67 earned upon its surplus alone. The Connecticut Mutual, on the other hand, instead of earning anything on this part of its assets, shows a loss, as above stated, of $42.9".3I: These unfavorable investments affect the dividends of that company. (Had the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favorable results, in the above particular, as the ZETN A LIFE, it would havegained in the year 1896, over its present ex- perience, $469,138,25. ): - ‘$ 1 0.000—TEN-PAYMENT LIFE PLAN—AGE 57.
