The Herald, 1904-03-18, Page 4COST OF DYING lad PARIS. Grasping Landlords Pile Up Esorbii;ant Bills for Relatives. "It is cheaper to live than to die iu Paris," says a member of the American • colony in the City of Light now visit- ing New York. "However dear the liv- ing may be, to their friends the dead are sure to be dearer—for a short period, at all events, For a stranger in t furnished apartment the affair is still worse. "The landlord claims the right to re- furnish and refit the chamber at the ex- pense of the deceased. In the case of an American, who recently died, leaving two young daughters. as it were, un- protected, the landlord brought in an exorbitant bill for new furniture, paper and paint, and seized the corpse for pay- ment as it was leaving the horse for the cemetery. o It is advisable in a Lease to have th ie expense of dying agreed upon, If it were not for the natural sentiment of respect for the dead it would be jolly retribution to leave the corpse in the hands of such a harp, to be got rid of at his own expense.—New York Press. $33 TO THE PACIFIC COAST Via the Chicago-t'nion Pacific & North- ' Western Line from Chicago daily dur- ing March and April, to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland.

"Very few men realize the man- ual labor entailed in the operation of shaving, aside from the constant caro and skill thee mulct be exer- eised," said the handsome barber as he pa.used to strop his razor. "I didn't realize it myself until the, other day. 'i']be man I was shaving was a stranger to me, a.nd he poem - eel a trifle nervous. When I got through with him he said to me: 'D'o you know how many srtrokes of the razor you used in .:having me?' I looked up at the clock. It had taken me nearly twenty minutes. 'I give it up," I said. 'I never thought about it.' 'Well,' said he, are he buttoned bas roller, 'you used just 459 strokes with the razor.'

There has always been a prejudice against allowing children to wear fur, espec- ially close to the throat, but the DOW ooats are cut to fasten below the neck, and if there is not a heavy' interlining and the coat is not'worn in too mild weather, there is no pos- sible reason why it is not just as healthful as a heavily, interlined cloth.—Harper'rs Bazar.

Splendid Showing Made at 57th Annual Meeting. A striking statement was made by Hon. Geo. A. Cox, President of the Can- ada Life Assurance Company, at that institution's annual meeting recently. He pointed out that since the company's inception it has paid out to policyhold- ers and their heirs over $27.000,000. Such a fact gives some idea of the vast bene- fits that result from life insurance. And the returns that will come to Canada life policyholders as years go by, will, of course, be much greater than this amount. Indeed, over $95,500,0000 of as- surances are now carried by the com- pany. During 1903 the new business paid for amounted to well over $10,000,000, a grat- fying, advance even upon 1902, itself a record year in the company's history. The assets of the company increased notably during the year, and now stand at well over $27,000,000. In making up its policy reserves the company again em- ployed the most stringent valuationbasie of any old -established life company on the American continent. Over and above even these strong reserves the surplus on policyholders' account is more than $1,- 860,000. The United Kingdom branch, institut- ed a year ago, has proved most success- ful. By extending its operations only within Anglo-Saxon countries the Cana- da Life has been able to increase the vol- ume of its business without at all in- terfering with the high standard of the risks insured by it. The Dominion, tho United.Kingdom and the Northern States are certainly the best of the world's in- surance territories. Minard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia. " Pure soap I" You've heard the` words.

Certainly, eggs aro high— forty cents per dozen, the grocers are charging for guaranteed new laid. But that is not the fault of the mid- dleman—the grocer -or the maunfac- turer--the hen. Neither is there any trust or corner in eggs. True, they are sometimes in corners, but it is the fence - corner, not the corner commercial. The price is (mite natural, because the hens are not laying. They are not blame- worthy; the fault is not theirs.

This story is advanced by M. Martini, the sculptor, as new: There was an Irishman employed on the West 34th street dock as 'a roust- about.

"Sam" Davis, editor of the Virginia City Enterprise, was once annoyed by a rival, who was continually "storming the press" in order to insert a piece of late news. There was hardly a day that the rival did not say, "We stop the press to announce that" somebody had shed, moved, been born, run away, lost money at cards, sold it mine, bought a new hat or been arrested. So one day Davis inserted the following on the front page of his paper, deeply leaded and under the heading, "Important": "We stop the press to annouce that there is no news of sufficient importance to justify us in stopping the press.
