SATIONS.-Tho Paris correspondent of the Echo writes: "A man, name unknown, was disco? vered poisoned in one of the streets of the Champs Elysees on Saturday night. On searohiug the body at the dead house, a paper was found in his side-pooket, on whioh ho had carefully written? minute by minute, his "impressions' ut the ap? proach ot death. I subjoin a part of this strange' doon ment: '"10 o'olook at night, j I must finish. I will get into a garden end end all in an unknown cor? ner. Fivo minutes pa?t 10-Here I am in the oorner, covered np with my oloak. The air is cold and damp. But what have I to fear from cold? 1 The gas-light just reaches me. Quarter past 10 Everything is ready. I take my bottle of poison. How strange! to think that those few drops will separate my soul from my body. Twenty minutes past 10-'Tis done! I have swallowed the li? quid! What is going on within me? I feel nothing but curiosity. The cafes below are gay. I hear them. Ahl half Eaat 10-Fearful pains in my legs and aok. My ideas nre confused. The world is disappearing from me. My childhood appears before me, mother, father, alli Quarter to ll-Sleep is overcoming me. The beginning of the .end is at hand. My logs are dead. Where is my soul? Will it wander from globe to globe through thousands of oenturies? What matters? I came into the world without thinking; I must leave it the same, ll o'olook--What do they say? The oold has reached my stomach. My head is heavy. I oacnot see. Obi I should know-.' Thero were a few words more, bot they could not be deci? phered."

TU IC FOLLOWINGS A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of premium ordinarily charged by lifo insurance companies are from twenty-five lo thirty per cent, in excess of what sro ne? cessary for a safe and leg it ?mat o conduct of tho business. In other words, carefully and prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" rates have been able to return to their policy-ladders from 25 lo SO per cent, ot the amount charged for premiums. When life iueui ance companies were first organized, reliability of the data upon which pre? miums were constructed bad not undergone test of experience, lt was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meot all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of Ibu business. As long as tho matter waa involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rato too high than to incur the risk of mak? ing it too low; because, in tho former case, tho error could be easily -remedied, at least in part, by returning to tho policy-holders, at certain intervals, such portion of the premium charged as was found necessary for the purposes of tho business ana the complote security of tho company. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these rates aro excessive, what possible excuse can there bo for maintaining them? Availing themselves of this experience, the Directora and Managers of the Universal Ufo I iisui ance Company, at its organization, adopt? d a tcalo of premiums ia accordance there? with, and which bas provea to bo fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet tho requirement?, of the business. These premiums are about twenty-five per cent, lower than tboso nhargo by mutual compancis. It also appeared, inasmuch aa the rates so established were as near as could possibly be determined fair rules, and not in excess of what insurance has previously coat tho policy-holders in mutual companies, that any profits arising from prudent management Justly and properly belonged to tho stockholders of tho company, for tho risk incurred by them in undertaking tho business. Experience has shown that ibero are sources of profitin the practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements in the calculation of the preminms. These results form a saving in the mortality of tho members of a company owing to the me I dical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on tho investments of the company over that assam eil in the calculation of its premiums, the profit s derivable from the lapsing and sur? render of policies by tho members, and from other minor sonrces. Profits from theao sources, in a company possessed of a capita' of $200,000, and doing a fair amoont of business, would give to tho stockholders dividends largely in excess of what were counted on by tho Directors of the Universal at tho time, of ita organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among the policy-holders of tho company a large uart ot the profits acoruing from the sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders. ! Tho plan adopted forsucli division is as follows: Eyery porsoo who may hereafter insure with thn Universal will, for tho purposes of division, bo treated aa a stockholder to extent ef ono annual premium upon his policy; and will share in tho profits of tho company to precisely samo extent as a stockholder owning an equal amount of tue capital stock. By this system of insurance, original with tho Universal, tho policy-holder secures the fol? lowing important advantages: 1. Insurance at tho regular "stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty to thirty per cont, less than that charged hy niutual companies, and which ia equivalent toa yearly "dividend" paid in ? dvanco of that amount on mutual rates. This low coat of insur? ance is worthy of attention. Sinco its organization, this company baB received in preminms from its policy-holders the sum of 11,517.000. To effect tho same amount of insurance in a mutual company would have cost them an initial outlay of $2 000,000. By allowing its policy? holders to retain, in their own possession, this excess of (483,000, the Universal has virtually paid thom a "dividend" of $483,000. and paid lt, too, in advance, inatead of at the end of ono or more years. It is impossible to find any example cf a mutual company furnishing insur? ance at so low a cost by returning to policy-holders au equal amount upon similar receipts. 2. Participation in the legitimate profits of tbe company, upon a plan which secures to the policy-holders tho sumo treatment vriiich directors and stockholders award to themselves. This Bystem of participation, in conneoHon with tho low "stock" ratos of premiums, must necessarily secure to tho policy-holders overy possible advantage to bo derived from prudent1 and careful management. Th? low rate's nf premium con pel economy, and, Independent of participation, guarantee to t hft policy-holder his insnrn nco at a ralo which is not in excess of tho cost in well managed mutual companies; while, bv tho proposed plan of participation in what may bo considered th? legitimate profits of tho' business, the cost will bo still further^iminlshec?. ?i bu a by tho combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in profits, it is confidently believed tho Universal Life Insurance Compaoy offers insuranoo at its lowest practicable coat. Those of tho existing policy-holdem who dceiro to participate in tho profits under the} new plan can do BO by making application to the head office, or to any agents of the company. Tho company is in a sound financial condition. Ratio of assets to liabilities 130 to 100.
