The English author, Thomas Raceward,

The four rough miners are a most in
teresting quartet. very much in contrast
to the soberly- dressed Colonel Brinthorpe
and Tom Oxley of Brinthorpe Abbey.
But it is Sunday" the light-hearted,
lovable Sunday, who dominates the camp
and the Brinthorpe home. In the strong

in his story are actual happenings. AS
the action Of the play takes place in his
home town it is only reasonable to sup

Fire VS.. Life Insurance.

A correspondent suggests that the
present investigation should not stop
with the life insurance companies, but
should also look into the management
Of the big fire insurance corporations.
He claims that fire insurance rates are
much too high, and wants to know what
becomes Of the money.
There is a world Of difference in the
two kinds Of insurance. In the large
fire underwriting concerns there is no
pretense Of mutually. Rates are
based on the percentage Of losses with
business spread out as widely as posi-
BILE, and the rates are fixed 50 as to give
a profit to stockholders after paying
losses and expenses. There is no at
tempt to gain policyholders confidence
by a fiction Of voting power, and they
are not promised dividends of large pro-
portions that melt away as distribution
time comes. They are not offered in
surance as an investment, but merely
as protection to their property. They
do not pile the Golfers Of the companies
with money to be held in trust and re-
turned with accretions. When a man
pays fine insurance premium he knows
the money is gone. He is paying for
something, and never expects to get it
back except to recoup a fire loss.
The moral. side of the life insurance
scandals is not presented, therefore, in
any aspect Of the fire insurance propo-
sition. 1t is no doubt true that fire
rates are high, on account Of the com
bination which fixes rates for all the
board companies: This is one of the
combinations that the law has seemed
unable to reach, and it depends on local
agreements in every community. There
is often competition Of the keenest
kind, and where it fails there is always
the opportunity to form new companies
mutual or stock, and reduce the cost of
insurance. Owing to the nature of fire
insurance risks, there is manifest need
for some kind Of organization and some
kind Of basis for making rates. . It il
also necessary to have rates high
enough to cover the risks, and because
a community has few costly fires in g
given year, insurance men do not con
cede that rates may be safely reduced
the next year. Rates are based or
the experience Of an extended term Of
years. Insurance men claim not to bt
able to see how the business could b.
safely conducted on much less pre-
MUM than they are exacting.

This is the proper way to treat a
glove: When you spy tiny hole
mend it without delay, that it may not
increase in size. Mend it on the inside
of the glove with fine cotton of the same
color as the kid. Do not use silk, for 1t
soon wears out.
Never break off your cotton, but cut
It, so as not to draw your stitches too
tightly and make the seam hard and un-
even. When sowing a split in a finger
seam insert a finger into the glove and
draw the edges together so that they
meet and that is all; a ridge would not
only be uncomfortable, but would look
unsightly.
When a glove is too small and Sits it
is worse than useless to sew up the
rent; it must be patched. The patch
must be of kid of the same color.
