The ACCUMULATED FUNDS amount to £2,235,518, and are immediately available to meet any unusual calamity. The ANNUAL INCOME exceeds £1,000,000. The Agent in announcing that he continues to receive orders for Assurances, both on Life and every description of property, begs to draw attention to the vast resources of the Company, and the standing which it takes among the large Insurance Establish ments of the British Empire. Unaided by amalgama tion with any other Company its success, with one exception, is unprecedented in the history of In surance Societies, and enables it to rank with the most;eligible offices now in existence with respect to the advantages offered to the public. IN THE FIRE BRANCH The rates of premium are equally low with those of any Company doing business in the Colony, and the Company will ever distinguish itself by promptness and liberality in the settlement of losses. THE LIFE BRANCH Offers the Guarantee of an amplo Capital, together with its accumulated funds, exemption of the Assured from liability of partnership to which Policy-holders in Mutual Offices are subject, Moderate Premiums, Division of Prouts every Jive years, three-fourths of which are appropriated to participating Policies. At the last distribution the surplus of assets over lia bilitieswas £249,956, and enabled the Directors to de clare a REVERSIONARY BONUS of £7 10s per cent.

IT is not generally known that Cook ing can be accomplished much quicker, cleanlier, better, and cheaper by Gas than by any other method. The Gas Stove is portable, gives perfect and imme diate control over the heat, requires but little atten tion, is always ready, keeps the kitchfn and house cool, and is only alight when actually in use. The difference between the cost of cooking by Gas, and by the ordinary mode, is much greater than usual at the present time ; for while coals have lately advanced in pries 50 ter cent, Gas has been re duced to 12s Gd per 1000. The following statement, which is the result of many experiments, shows the relative cost of boiling a Gallon of Water in a copper kettle by means of a recently liehted coal fire, and by a Gas Stove, and the time required in each case :— Coal used Weod Time Total perto'n. me(L employed. Cost. With Fire.. 4} lbs. l-sthofld 1 hour. ljd. With Gas.. 4 cubic feet at 12s 6d Twenty #d per 1000. minutes. 5 Therefore, by the use op Gas, there is a saving of nearly two to one in money, and economy of two- Tjiinu.s in time, and the avoidance of. trouble in lighting, smoke and dust. A choice selection of Gas Stoves for boiling, frying, broiling, stewing, and roasting can be seen, and the above statement as to cost proved by application to E.
