Teetotalers, 1t Is Found, Live From
20 to 80 Per Cent Longer Than
Moderate Drinkers, and Special
Rates VIII he offered to Abstniners
The leading life insurance companies
Of the United States as n result of in
vestigations carried on by their actu-
SrieS in this country and abroad have
prepared a new form of policy giving
special rates TO applicants who DO not
drink. Their Investigations show that
for thirty-SiX years deaths numbered
81 ,S91 drinkers as against 1886 alb
Stainers Of men between the ages of
twenty and seventy. The conclusion Of
the actuaries is that teetotalers as a
class live from 20 to 80 per cent longer
than moderate drinkers as n class.
1t was found that the death rate even
among moderate drinkers of the first
class is much larger than among total
abstainers. This finding was reached
from statistics covering $4,000 lives
In period Of sixty-one years.
From the age of forty to that of fifty,
which is regarded by insurance men
as the prime of life" there were
6,246 deaths among total abstainers
and 10,S61 among moderate drinkers,
an excess of "A per cent in one decade
Between the ages of twenty and thirty
the excess was IL per cent, from thirty
to forty ii was GS per cent. from fifty
to sixty AZ per cent and from sixty to
seventy 10 per cent.
During the three decades from thirty
TO sixty years of age is the time when
most persons carry life insurance and
when the profits are being earned and
accumulated. 1t is evident. therefore,
say insurance experts, that those in
the total abstinence department, where
losses are so much smaller, stand d bet
ter chance of profitable returns. In
other words, with what the total alb
and gains in insurance it is clear that
he is far better off financially than his
brother of the moderate drinking class.
Temperance insurance has something
of vogue in England. and there is at
least one prosperous company operat-
ing on these lines there. This company
has one interesting feature about it's
business. however-it has n department
for moderate drinkers as well as for
its total abstinence clients. Both de-
partments seem to be well patroniZed,
the total abstinence policy holders get
ting a 10 per cent better proposition.
which, to judge from the statistics pre-
scented. appears n money making figure
for the company.

Trade Unions md Temperauce

The London Lancet says: 1T surely
would not be impossible for one or
more of the great trade societies to
revise their terms of admission in the
direction of rendering them more ia
vorable to abstainers than to others,
and II this were done there can be no
doubt that the comparative immunity
OF the abstainer class from illness and
accident would soon justify the rulers
of such society in proceeding a step
farther and ultimately in requiring alb
stinence as a condition of membership. -

TANNING A TIGER.
The Way Snowman Got Friendly
with IL Fierce Beast.

A zoologist thus describes how an
attendant brought about friendly rela-
tons with Il fierce tiger:
There was Snowman used to
know named Melchior. He once bought
\ magnificent BENGAL tiger, which he
got at low price because it had al
ready killed two men.
AT first Melchior would put his foot
or his hand into his cage, out from the
way the tiger would leap at him he
knew that to put himself entirely in
its power would be suicide. Nothing
Le could do would establish friendly
relationship between himself and the
tiger
Some originality was needed, and
Melchior showed it by taking some old
clothes, stufling them with rags and
throwing them into the cage. The
tiger in jiify tore the old clothes to
pieces, thinking that the figure was Il
| human being.
Next day and the next day and the
| next Melchior continued to throw in
to the tiger stuffed figures, and the
tiger continued to destroy them But
as time passed the animal ceased to
put heart into its work and in the end
it gave up altogether these attacks on
| the scarecrows. 1t would. just play
with them or else not notice them at
all.
Now was Melchiors time. He open
ed the cage door one morning, walked
in boldly and slapped the tiger familiar
" on the back. 1t gave him friend
ly look and purred. 1t took him fol-
another manilin not worth botherina
about. 1t lived seven years with Mel
chior and became as gentle as kit
