MANY tenement house elgarmakers receive
from their employers 100 pounds Of tobacco,
for which they have to return l02 pounds Of
cigars The difference is supposed to repre-
sent the water used IN mOIstening the dry
leaf. Complaints are made that when the
tobacco falls short, cigar stumps, willow, oak
and elm leaves are used 70 make good the de-
ficiency. and that IN some instances 100 pounds
of tobacco have thus been made to produce
200 pounds Of cigars
Mr.. TALMAGE, preaching in his Brooklyn
pulpit about horses, declared last Sunday that
none Of our horses nowadays could hold a
candle To the ancient steeds. 1T is impossible
in our age said he, ''tO get any idea OF the
grandeur and glory of the ancient horse"
Mr.. Beecher, commenting, sala 10 an inter-
viewer: That's nonsense. We have con-
elusive proof that the ancient horse was
fat pOdgy. bIg-bOned, slow brute, IN no way

AVIAN in Indiana went hunting some time
since, and seeing a squirrel poke his head out
Of a hole in the tree, he fired, but, not seeing
the squirrel drop, he came to the conclusion
that he had missed it. Almost instantly he
saw what he supposed was the head of the
same animal, and again fired. Still the SPUR
rel head appeared at the same place. He
fired thirtv-fOur shots. and, as he did not see
the game drop. he started to go further into
the grove. When he had passed the tree on
which he had seen the one squirrel, he saw
thirty four lying in heap upon the ground.

Insurance on Florida Hotels.

The action Of the Southeastern Tariff
Association in advancing the rates Of in
surance on Florida hotels from to IL
per cent. above the rates on similar risks
in other States causes a good deal Of in
dignatiOn on the part Of the property
owners affected by it. There seems to be
no reason why hotel Of certain class
in Florida. whether built Of brick or wood,
should be required to pay higher pre-
MUM than hotel of the same class in
any other State. There Is one reason at
least why Florida hotels ought not to be
required 10 pay as much as hotels of the
same class at the NOrth-that is that very
little fire is used in them for warming pur-
poses throughout the entire winter, and
hence one great source Of risk is almost
entirely wanting.
This action of the Tariff Association was
caused by the recent heavy losses the
insurance companies sustained on
Florida hotels. Several hotels were
burned in the state during the past year,
causing a total loss to the insurance COM
panies OF $lO9.6S6 &c. 1t is claimed that
only one Of these hotels was destroyed by
a fire that originated in the building. Mr..
]. II. Norton, Of Jacksonville, in a cOmmu-
uication in the Insurance Chronicle, claims
that the records show that, during the four
teen years previous to the present year,
the Florida hotels paid in premiums to the
insurance companies the sum Of 1921
s6I 30, while the actual amount paid for
losses during that time was only Sl49,-
$50 a6. This appears to be as good
showing as any reasonable insurance
company ought to desire.
While the balance is considerably
against the companies for the past twelve
months. there Is every reason to believe
that they will rapidly recover their losses.
Ii is claimed that nearly all the Florida
hotels are built with care, and are owned
BY responsible and careful men. Besides,
they are profitable, and this reduces the
moral hazard TO a minimum, even if, in
any case, the owner or occupant is not
altogether above suspicion. The recent
fires have had the effect TO make all par
ties concerned doubly watchful and care
full. and the real risk is no doubt less now
than il ever has been.
