But there is not a single householder in this country who can tell me how ’nmoh he would be able. to get out of the company which insures him if his ‘hcuse was completely burnt out and his goods were totally destroyed, says ’A. M. Bari‘ington in London Daily Mail II, is only when the fur has come and destroyed all his goods that the house- iholder finds this out. Then, when he Claims the £1,000 or whatever the sum may be on which he has paid his pro- iiums, he is m'ei, for the first time, by a demand for proof as to what goods were burnt. and whether they were worth that sum. He is required to produce an invenâ€" 1tory comprising every article, to give evidence of their value to show ac- ‘oounts and receipts concerning the articles he has bought. to prove that they are all his and not belonging to his servants or his friends, and then. 'rwhen he has done all this, he is told that he has not. allowed for deprecia- tion, and that 20 or 30 or even more per cent. must come off his claim on that head alone. And the reason of this lies in the (thSUX‘d {not that, although i, as a house- ‘hotder, pay a fixed annual premium on a fixed insurable amount to protect me from the risks of fire. the company twill not, pay me that fixed insurable mnount. even though all my goods are lost.

His father, a farmer, was six feet. six inches high, and although his mother was but a paltry six feet. it is said that she had an ancestor in the six- teenth century who stood four inches over eight feet. v Of the children of this couple the four sons averaged six feet five inches, and the daughters but one and one-half inches less. Robert, the tallest member of the family, was a little over seven and one-half feet high, and measured sixty-four inches and sixty-two inches around the waist and chest, respectively. while the tallest of the sisuers, who died at 20. was seven feet two inches in height and of proportionate build. “I guess Mr. Roxley ain't as rich as some people think,” said Tommy. “You said he didn't have to work, but could jfit go 'round cnjoyin' hisselt wherever he» pleased." “So he kin," said Jimmy. day the Fox a time she was the chief attraction of Barnum's great show. and during this period twice narrowly escaped death from fire.
