SUICIDE AND LIFE INSURANCE.

In an article in the November num-
Der of the North American Review, en-
titled Suicide and Life Insurance"
Mr.. w. II. Lawton traces connection
between an increase in the number OF
suicides which has marked recent
years. and the policy pursued by insur
ance companies in removing from their
contracts the clause whereby an in
sured person who took his own life,
forfeited all claim upon them. Mr..
Lawton deprecates the fact that the
Judgment of the public regarding the
act Of man who destroys himself so
that his family or creditors may collect
the amount of his insurance, is much
more lenient than the public judgment
regarding the act OF one who burns
his dwelling house, or place OF business
for similar purpose. In both cases,
he insists, a fraud Is perpetrated. IN
der the old regime the deaths of insur
ed persons by suicide were less than
one-half Of one per cent Of the deaths
from all causes; but since the suicide
restriction has been removed from in
surance contracts, as has been done by
nearly all the companies, the ratio of
suicide losses has increased to 3 per
cent. an increase Of over 500 per cent
In a few years. Mr. Lawton urges the
s,.,,ropna coropaniea to aDnly to this
unfortunate state OF affairs the remedy
which is In their POWER. by restoring
to their contracts the suicide restric-
ton clause: otherwise he believes the
courts will take measures to correct
the evil. since It is against public pol

Skim Milk for Paint Making.


A Use to which skim milk, sour milk,
buttermilk, or even whole sweet milk is
often put is paint making, yet this pro-
duct of the dairy, says the Scientific
American, makes possible one of the
most enduring, preservative, respect
able and inexpensive paints for barns
and outbuildings. 1t costs little more
than whitewash, provided no great
value is attached to the milk, and it is
a question whether for all kinds of
rough work it does not serve all the
purposes and more, Of ready mixed
paint, or even prime lead and paint
mixed in the best linseed oil.
1t is made as follows, and no more
should be mixed than is to De used
that day: Stir into one gallon Of milk
about three pounds of Portland ce-
ment and add sufficient Vene ian red
pairlt powder to impart a coed color.
Any other colored paint powder may
be as we'll used. The milk will hold the
paint in suspension, but the cement,
beirig very heavy, will sink to the bot
tom, SO that it becomes nece ssary to
keep the mixture we'll stirred with a
paddle.
Six hours after painting tt is paint
will be as immovable and unaffected
by water as month old paint.
II is q splendid preservativs, and !

paiated twenty years ago in this man

served. Whole milk is bet. er than
skim milk, as it contains more oil
and this is the constituent W 1ich sets
the cement. With the addition Of a
small quantity of crude carholic acid
it makes fine disinfectant and is in
every way suitable for dairy work.

else people go in crowds; AS if actu-
ated by some mysterious power OF
telepathy every one wants to use the
telephone at exactly the same moment.
From local, rural and long distance
patrons, a storm Of yells, rings and
hellos come pouring into the ear OF

to have gone over LAHORE. To this

marvel is that she ever gets anything

CHAPTER XVIII.

MR. PENCE D1SCOvERs GOLD.
With much difficulty Mr. Simon
Pence scaled the heights overlook
ing the bay, and, aided by Vincent,
finally reached the top. He cast one
lingering look behind, and followed
his young and sturdy companion into
the half-jungle which lay before
them. They found it possible, by
following the cliffs along the ocean,
to make fairly rapid progress. Their
march was hindered by frequent
gorges, but they proceeded laborious-
ly but steadily in southern direc-
ton.
Shortly after noon they ate their
luncheon. They rested on a ledge
fronting the sea. Two miles to the
south huge crag reached out into
the blue water, and beyond no land
was visible. They decided to make an
attempt TO climb the promontory,
believing that it would afford a view
of the south shore, and perhaps a
general survey of the island
The brush thickened. They slowly
forced their way through a thicket;
Mr.. Pence in advance Suddenly he
Vincent in his wild retreat
Before them stood a monster-the
grotesque figure of human being,
with outstretched arms. hideous face
and protruding teeth. At glance
Vincent recognized it as stone i'm
age, and shouted reassuringly to the
fleeing explorer.
In the open space before them
were the massive ruins of temples
and palaces: the tomb of a city
which had fiourished and decayed
long before the dawn of recorded
history. On mound and terrace
were crumbling relics of former
grandeur.
The ruins covered many acres, and
lay back from the cliffs a distance
not exceeding 100 yards. There
were traces of ancient fountains
with figures half-buried in the mud
and slime of what once were pleas
ing pools.
/ In the center of the ruined city
was a pyramidal mound, surmount-
ed by the wreck of what once must
have been an imposing structure
Vincent climbed up this mound and
gazed with awe on the grewsome
figures which were scattered in odd
postures around the stone floor OF
the temple. In one corner the floor
had caved in and revealed a subter.
ranean vault or chamber of un.
known extent. Vincent lowered him
self to the floor below. At first it was
so dark he could not survey his sur
roundings, but his eyes became &C
customed TO the gloom. He stumbled
over the uneven surface and entered

head, and Vincent answered; his
