RATES OF PREMIUM Are framed as low as are consistent with the due i safety of the Society, and its Actuary is calculated to be one of the most competent authorities in England, the Court of Chancery having recently had to avail themselves of his experience in these matters ; and although apparently higher than some offices, assurers should not loose sight of the fact that they receive it back, either in bonuses or in addition to sums assured, and in electing to insure in this Society they also avail themselves of the experience and safety of a concern that time has proved to be secure against all chances. LOANS. Surrender values are Kiven for Policies of three years standing, or loans granted on security of same.

WILLIAMS' KAUEI GUM FIRE KINDLEES, UNEQUALLED FOR LIGHTING OR REVIVING A FIRE. T3LACE a lighted match under the JL arch, when it will produce a bright flame in ten seconds ; will also boil a quart of water, cook a rasher of bacon, chop or steak ; will burn for fifteen minutes and leave no mark on the grate ; no danger of explo sion, as kauri gum is its chief ingredient, It is a strong disinfectant; and where constantly used will effect a great saving in other fuel. Fob the Sick Room it is invaluable. There is no noise in the crackling of sticks to distract the patient, and no offensive odour, and it is of itself a strong disinfectant. For the Bedroom, where a fire is needed for a short (line only, a few of these Kiudle'rs will, without the leist dirt or trouble, warm the room effectually in a very brief period. For the Morning Bath the luxury of warm water may lie had at a few minutes' notice without calling in a servant's aid. For the Night Nursery' many a cold shiver hitherlo received from rising in the night to kindle a fire may now be prevented by the use of these unri valled Fire Kindlers, ten seconds only being needed to light t'ae fire with a ceitaintyof its burning up brightly at oiks. In uhe Parlour And Drawing-room ladies may now b( wholly independent of their servants for kin dling tieir fives ; and for reviving a dull tire these Five Kindhrs have no e»iual. One Kindler introduced into adull fire brightens it up at once with a magical effect. In ttOTELS and large establishments of any kind where many fires are required the saving and comfort affonfed by Williams' Fire Kindlers are invaluable. Foi Bachelors a world of trouble and no little storm'ng at the .housekeeper or landlady is to bo avoidid by the use of Williams' Fire Kindlers.
