BeautificaflNot every one knows that carrots are better than medicine and un- equalled as a complexion beautiller. A noted beauty specialist claims that a spoonful of grated carrot. eaten raw be- fore breakfast, will prevent ‘wrinltles, and are also good for the hair. As a medicine they act as a blood purifier, and should appear on the table not less than two or three times a week, serv- ing them in different ways, as it is a vegetable one soon tires of. Here is a favorite way of serving them. Creamed Carrotsâ€"Scrape a number of carrots. put them in a stew pan with water to cover and boil until tender, which will take about two hours. They must be watched closely, especially on :1 gas stove, that they do not boil dry and burn. When done remove from water and cut in thin slices. Make a cream dressing of cream or rich milk. First put two tablespoons of butter (scant) in a saucepan with two tablespoons of flour, mix to a paste, then add cream or milk; stir until smooth and thick, add salt and pepper if liked. Pour over the' carrots and serve in a pretty bowl. Carrot Soupâ€"Put in a soup kettle a knuckle of veal, three or four quarts water (cold), a quart finely sliced car- rots, one head celery; boil two and one- half hours, add handful of rice and boil another hour; season with pepper and salt and serve. Sliced Carrotsâ€"Scrape the carrots. cook till tender, and cut in dice. Turn into a heated dish, season to taste and _ pour over a little melted butter. A MOTH-PROOF CHEST. It will soon be time to put away furs and woollen garments. Those who have expensive clothing can generally afford to take it 'to a storage house, where it will be kept safely. The average house- keeper has to be content with her own cupboards and chest, and even bags, of cloth or thick paper. When one cannot afford a cedar chest. boxes may be made at home which will keep moths away from furs and garments. The following plan has been recommended. Get the box from a grocery or shoe store and go over it carefully. driving the nails in tight and smooth. Brush the box out well and fasten small hinges to both the bofx and cover, or use a strip of ticking two inches wide and as long as the top of the box. Tack one edge of the cloth to the inside of the box and the other This will form a continuous hinge. Fasten a strip of cloth at each side for a strap or stay to prevent the cover from falling too far back. Line the box throughout. with news- papers, for printers‘ ink is disagreeable to moths. Leave the box open to dry thoroughly. Cover the outside with wall paper, cretonne or denim and tack a loop of leather or braid to the front of the cover to lift it with. To store gar- ments in the box lay them in long folds placing here and there, a sachet of laven- der flowers or sheets of blotting paper which have been saturated with cologne water or perfume. Moths object to strong odors of any kind. When the box is comfortably full. cut. a single thickness of newspaper the exact size of the top. brush a little paste around the edge of the top and press the paper down closely. This will make a tight. seal for the box and its Contents will be secure if no moths or eggs \vt're con- ceach in the clothing lJClul‘l‘ scaling. and you must. of course, take can- that there are none. L'SEI’L'I. HINTS. To make a tight shoe comfortable pul on theshoe and lay a cloth damped 'vi hot water across where it pinches. This should be constantly changed. and the moist heat will cause the leather to shape itself to the foot. An even that is too hot can be cooled by placing a. basin of cold water inside it. and the door can then be kept shutl The water will prevent burning. and il' should be remembered that when cooking“ by gas. water should be always kept in the oven to absorb the smell.

Position of Leaves Fortells Changes in Atmosphere. Almost every magazine has a small advertisement for a plant known to hot- anists as “abrus precatcrius,“ or weather plant. It is a climbing exortic, and is held in great vcncration by the natives of India, who say that the state of the weather may be told some time in ad- vance by the position which the leaves assume. Though this theory is disputed by some, it is held by botanists of estab- lished reputation as being within the bounds of reason. Atmosphere unques- tionably affects the leaves of flowers and plants and shrubs, and to a close obser- ver this action may indicate coming changes in weather which can be cor- rectly foreshadowed. One of the great beauties of the plant is its small eggâ€"shaped seeds of bright scarlet tipped with a black spot. These seeds are very hard. and for this rea- son are used for necklaces and orna- mental purposes. Their size is so uni- form that they are used in India as the standard of weight. and callet “l‘fltl.” If, is a recorded fact that the weight of the famous Kohinoor was first deter- mined by tlie aid of the seeds of this peculiar plant. Probably the specific name “precatorius,” meaning prayer, came from the fact that the seeds are used by Buddhists for rosaries. _____+_.._._ MOTHER AND BABY.

With the exception of $135,000 written in Newfoundland, the new business was all writ- ten within the Dominion of Canada. The total amount of assurance in force is $14,100,954 under 20,788 policies, being an increase over 1901 of $3,722,084. INCOMEâ€"The total income for the year was $1,046,518.01, derived from Premiums. $1,517,506.55; Interest and Rents, $407,563.04, and profit from the sale of Real Estate, $1,448.52. PAYMENTS T0 POLICYIIOLDERSâ€"The payments to Policyholders con. sisted of Death Claims, $231,924.10; Matured, Endowments, $150,450; Purchased Policies, 61,168.88; Surplus, 887.028.85.111111 Annuities, $0,422.56; being a total of $552,014.10. The Death Claims which fell in during the year amounted to $260,214, and though slightly in excess of those in the preceding year, were very light, and much below the expectation. THE EXPENSES AND TAXES \vcro $343,401.76, and Profit and Loss $1,- 510.18, making a total of $350,010.01, or 17.8 per cent. of the total income. ASSETSâ€"The cash assets at. the close of the year were $8,816,658.42, and consisted of mortgages, 151.265.533.86; Debentures and Bonds, $3,945,401.80; Loans Go Policies, $055,070.303 Premium obligations, 828,810.60; Real Estate, including the Head Office building, $56,281.08, and cash in Banks and at Ilead omce, 5526106060. Adding to this the due and deferred premiums, $272,121.08, interest and rents due and accrued, $177,312.65; the total {155th amount to $0,206,002.15. It will be observed that. as in the past, we still continue to in- vest our funds in securities of a non-speculative character, and that we llOlt.’ them on our books at their not cost. \ The interest on our investments has been very well met. especially in the city of Winnipeg, where on mortgages amounting to $745,555, the interest in art-ear at the close of the year was only $227. In the province of Manitoba and the West generally there is a tendency to defer payment of instalments of principal on account of the desire to purchase more ‘land. All payments, both for interest and principal. have. however, been very well met, and were quilts, 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 your umm was interest in arrear of only $16,317, the largest part of which fell due in the closing days of the year, and has slnce 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 funds was 5.1 per cent. TllE LIABILITIES were again computed on the same standard as in former years, viz: Combined Experience Table with 4 per cent. interest for all business up to January 1, 1000. From that date to January 1, 1003, on the lnslitue of Actuaries’ Table, with 3}; percent. interest, and thereafter on the same table with 3 per cent. interest. The reserve computed upon this stan- dard of Valuation amounts to 88.210.061.2t, and the total liabilities are $8,312,. 091.03. The Surplus over all liabilities on the Company's standard of reserve, as above mentioned, is 80.31.001.12, being an increase for 1001 of 818102825. On the Government standard of valuation our surplus would be 81,263,905. On behalf of the Board, R.
