WIth the exception of $65,000 written in Newfoundland, the new business was all writ- 4en within the Dominion of Canada. The total amount of assurance in force is $44,199,954 under 29,7118 policies, being an increase over 1904 of $3,722,984. INCOMR-Thi' total income for the year was $1,916,518.91. derived from Premiums, $1,547,506.45; Interest and Rents, $407,563.94, and profit from the sale of Real Estate, $1,448.52. PAYMENTS TO POLICYHOLDERS -The payments to Policyholders con - tasted of Death Claims, *231,924.10: Matured Endowments, 4159,450; Purchased 'Policies, 54,168.68; Surplus, 1387,928.85, and Annuities, $9,422.56; being a Intal of $552,914.19, The Death Claims which fell in during the year amounted to 15269,214, and though slightly in excess of those in We preceding year, were very Tight, and much below the expeclatiort. THE EXPF.NSI:S AND TAXES were 1:148,491.76, and Profit and Loss 51,- 519.18, 4,519.18, making a total of 1350,010.94, or 17.8 per cent. of the total income. A.SSf31'S-The cash assets et the close of the year were $8,846.658.42, and canslsled of mortgages, 14,265533.86; Debentures and Bonds, 1R3,245,401.S9; Loans on Policies. 1988,670.39;) Premium obligations, 128,810.60; ileal Estate. including the )lead Office building, $56,231.08, and cash in Banks and at Heed 011ice, $261,960.60. Adding to This the due and deferred premiums, $272,121.08, interest and rents due and accrued, 5177,312.65; the total assets &gloom to 19,216,092.1.5. It will be observed that, as in the past, we still continue to In- vest our hind.; In securities of a non --speculative character, and that we hold them on our books at their net cost. The interest on our investments has been very well suet, especially in the city of Winnipeg, where on mortgages anmunting to 1745,555, the interest in arrear at the close of the year was only 8227. in the province of Manitoba and the West generally there is a tendency to defer payment of instalments of principal nn account of tine desire to purchase more land. All payments, both for interest and principal, have, however, been very well met, and were quite equal in that respect to the previous year. in Ontario and elsewhere the 'Mortgage collections have been exceptionally good, and at the close of the year there was interest in armor of only $16,317, the largest part of which fell due in the closing days of the year, and has since been paid. The active de- mand for money during the year kept our funds well employed at good rates of interest. The average rate realized on our favids was 5.1 per cent. THE LIABILITIES were again computed on the same standard as In former years, viz.: Combined Experience 1'nble with 4 per ci ret. interest for all Incsiness up to January 1, 1900. From that dato to January 1, 1903, on the Imlilue of Actuaries' Table, with 3% per cent. interest, and thereafter on the saute table with 3 per cent. interest. The reserve computed upon this Man - :dart' of valuation amounts to $8.210.064.24, end the total liabilities are 88.312,- 091.03. The Surplus over all liabilities on the C.ompnny's standard of reserve, n; above mentioned, is ►.t%4,001.I!. tic Ing an increase for 1904 of $181,92.1.23. Un the Government standard of valuation our surplus would be 11,263.905. On behalf of the Board, i4. efF.I.VIN, President.

DOH DIED FROM G1111i1'. Pathetic Story of Ilrvotion to ills Dead Master. A nine whom I have known from childhood and who °Nettie' first place in my friendship was taken ill, and af• ler months of long suffering diets, says a writer in "Suggestion." His death was a blow from which 1 shall never entire- ly recover, and it is just this one thing above all others that poor old Dick, my friend's dog, and 1 held in common. During my friends Illness I called al his horse on my way to the office, and as soon as the working hours were over I was at his bedside again. Al- ways 1 found Dick there, looking up in his n►a;ter's fare with his big, sad eyes. Here he stayed, and nothing could in- duce hire to remain away very long. Night and day he lay there at the foot of the bed keeping a faithful watch. During the preparations for putting the body In the coffin they were, forced to carry the dog out of rho house and tie him. But it was not for Jong. hick broke his nope, and quietly sneaked in- to tho house, and again took up els watch, but this time under the coffin, and there he stayed, snapping at all who approached his masters body. His attack upon the pall -bearers was vio- lent, and for a moment 1 feared the ani- mal had gone mad. but the poor fellow was crazed with grief. When 1 reached the street the first thing my eye rested upon was rho dog Dick under the hearse, and (Mere he re- mained in a dull, sullen way, walking along until the grave was reached.

For a small burn, there is nothing like the inside of a scraped potato. 1t takes the pain away like magic, and the wound steals rapidly. THE DANGER 01? COBWEBS. For an open wound which refuses to ttexal, the membrane which ilcs on the inside of an eggshell will answer as well as the human skin, which 1; gent r - all✓ used for This purpose. Beneath 13 the raw flesh is able to granulate, and so heal. Incidentally, a warning might bo.gtvcn against another very common wound remedy, also of Nature's providing - namely, cobweb, which Is often used as a styptic to slop bleeding. Now, cob- web, from Its texture, makes an excel- lent styptic, bid unfortunately it Is also a substance which catches and harbors germs, especially those of tetanus or lockjaw. Only a year ago, an l•'seex laborer died near Dunmow from lock- jaw set up by an infected cobweb. Lockjaw can. of course, be caused by almost any kind of wound, especially - one from a rusty nail. Yet 11 those who have wounded themselves in such 's fashion would only lake the simple pre- caution ro-caution of smoking Ike wound thor- oughly all risk of poisoning would be ret an end. The smoke of woollen cloth +s best. Twenty minutes in the smoke will completely take the pain out of an In- flamed wound, and cause it to heal easily. The smoke apparently acts as an "aseptic," and kills the germs. BEE -STINGS AS A CURE.

Fresh air, ex- ercise, nourishing food and Scott's Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil- lions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lung. q Front time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT'S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long time, There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott's Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous. q We will send sample free. • si Re sore that this ei;ture in the f,.rm , f a let -I is on the w per of erre) tcxe.e of Emut.i.,n lint bur.
