Sem-mu Wmows' FUND.

The Scottish Widows' Fund is now so near another quin- quennium that good results seem to be almost a foregone conclusion, and Lord Kinross, who presided at the recent meeting of the company, in the unavoidable absence of Lord Rosebery, was able to speak most encouragingly to members with regard to the forthcoming division of profits next year. The results of the last four years' working have been good, and that the directors have confidence with regard to the quinquennium results is evident from the -fact of the interim bonus having been recently increased from 88s. to 40s. per cent. compound. At the meeting Lord Kinross emphasized the advantages of this compound bonus system, especially to those insuring when young.
