EXAMINE the policies issued by the

cheapest OF all forms and one of the
most valuable. Arrangements can b @
made, under this form, to pay whatever
income you may want your family to
have, and for any number of years from
five to fifty. Everything is as simple
and at the same time as definite as lam
guage can make it. Under this form
the Travellers act as trustee and invests
it for them, paying over much larger
income than most people could possibly
earn for themselves. And last, but not
least, the Travellers of Hartford, is the

F-prutry go Has Always Eccu Reckoned q
Very Uniucky iiay.
Thd advent Of leap year" and the
break in the regular order Of days make
anything in regard to the "bissextile"
or leap year" Of more than ordinary
interest Leap year has always been
regarded with awe and superstition by
the people OF all countries The peas
antry of England affirm that peas and
beans grow the wrong way in their
pods-that IL, the seed arc set the
wrong way to what they are in the or
binary years In Belgium the rural
folks maintain that leap year Is not
only unpropitious for all farming oper-
ations, hut throughout the year the
young Of the domestic animals will not
thrive as at other times.
A similar fatality, they argue, cx.
tends to every kind OF grass and plant,
which becomes stuntcd or Is blightcd
before attaining It's normal size. The
same peculiar ideas prevail in Russia
Turkey, Tartary, India and Ara
bia. The Russian provcrb says:
"If St Cassian february 2o)
looks on q cow she witbcrs."
In Arabia they say: AS weak as bis
scxtilc camel" and in Turkey and Tar.
tary they call all hunct backs, dwarfs
and other dcformcd men, womcn and
children "1eap-ycar frcaks;" but there
are exceptions to this rs we'll as all
other rules, for we find that in Italy,
Greece and Sicily the rural provcrb
says, referring to lcap-year: "Plant
much corn and zine; it's (thc year, good
for bread and wine"
The ancient Roman considered Feb
ruary 90 most critical season, always
reckoning it among the unlucky days
That this belief has not by any means
lost ground is evidenced by deep
rooted dislike parents have to child
being born on lcap-day, IL being a pop
ular notion that to come into the world
at such an odd time is obnoxious as sig
nifying the baby's speedy exit A va
riety Of this superstition exists in Tus-
cany, and, according to piece OF folk
lore of that country. when n child is
will die before the end OF the year.
Hampson, in his "Medii Evi Kalen-
darium," quotes the following from an
old Saxon treatise: "Somc assert that
the bisscxtus or,leap-day comes through
this, that Joshua prayed to God that
the sun might stand still for one days
