Have you ever wondered Why the
glasses out Of which We every day
drink milk and water are called
"tumblers"? They derive their name
from the fact that they are the success.
sors Of little silver bowls, so perfectly
balanced that, whichever way they
were tipped about, they tumbled into
position again aud again and there re-
NAMED with the rim upward. s=z>
1t is said that thces li.tle silver
bowls, or tumblers, were first used
years ago at luncheon given at All
Souls College, Oxford, to the Princess
Alice, the second daughter Of Queen
Victoria. At this splendid luncheon
the guests became. Interested in the
silver bowls that were brought to them
filled with some fayorite beverage.
These bowls, the inquiring guests were
told, were'tumblers, and were shown
why they were SO named. 4 lsstle
bowl was emp,ied and then placed
upon the table mouth downward. IL
was 80 exquisitely balanced that as
quick as wink it flew back 70 les

ssy, "Please gil me again" It was
knocked about on. the aoor, balanced
carefully on its side, dropped Careless
ly and, in short, tumbleo about 10 every
way; but it Invariably swayed q little,
shook i.self gently, aud finally tuun-
bled back to it's proper upright position,
so, you see, it vas demonstrated that
"sumblers" was very fitting name
for those tumbling little silver bowie.
.Whep round glasses that stood on a
fat base came into general use, they,
fos some reason not ct oil clear, were
called tumblers. To call them tum-
blers is somewhat Of misnemer, for
We all know that they seldom or never
tumble into position again if we chanse
to upset them, = /. - i; !.

The management Of life insurance
companies is subject that is today
being thought Of and discussed more
than any financial problem that ever
occupied tho minds Of American peo.
pie.
Recent events have caused men in
all walks of life to come to the reali
zstion that life insurance is not q lux
ury, but q positive necessity. That
in order to keep apace with the pres
cnt strenuous time one must put q
value on the number of years that are
allotted to him in which to engage in
his chosen vocation, and chat after
determining this value, he sees the
necessity Of protecting his interest in
the world of finance against any pos.
sible abridgement of these years,
hence life insurance is looked upon
from practical standpoint.
The American people feel that they
have personal interest in the COM
panies that carry their protection and
age naturally concerned in the man.
agement Of these companies.
It is for this reason that tho sub
ject Of the cost Of carrying life insur.
anee is particularly interesting to
every one ut the present time and Gan
be discussed most proitably.
All life insurance, whether it be
4raternal, cooperative, assessment or
old line, is based on experienced NOR
tality tables. The old line companies
base their business on the American
Experience Mortality Table, which
has been 10 vogue since the organi.
cation Of the first old line company.
This table shows that out of l 900 in
surable men, at the age Of 35, S95.1OO
will die during the first year, hence
IL there are 1000 men insured for
$1,000 each, at the age Of IS, it will
require $3.50 to pay the death loss
OF that year, 80 old line companies
take as basis for their premiums on
each 81 900 Of insurance: 1896 as q
mortuary fund.

tion Of these thousand that will die
and it will require more than the go. 81

tently declined to issue a death warrant
the Condemned persons, meanwhile, re-
manning in prison. In five other states
where the dath penalty exists, the trial
juries have power to continue it to life
Imprisonment.
The right of the State to take the life
of citizen has always been and doubt
less must remain an academic question,
although conceding the soundness of the
doctrine of consent of the governed as
the ultimate basis of governmental au-
thority. it mlust be armitted that one can
nit be morally held to a contract whereby
he consents that another may toke his
life In our civil jurisprudence no man
can give another the right to do him
bodily injury. Such contracts are al
woys void as against public policy. But
the case against capital punishment is
made when it is shown simply that it is
unnecessary. 1t is coming to be under
stood that the majority of human beings
| do not refrain from the commission of
capital crimes merely through fear of be-
ing hanged.
Every person who commits capital
crime knows that in States maintaining
capital punishment the death penolty is
affixed to that vrime From a personal
study of more than two thousand cases
am convinced that most crimes are COM
| mitted by persons who either % expect
to escape all punishment or (2) who
upon the spur of the moment are regord-
less of all punishment, or, go who are
governed by cosmic, social or individual
factors which render the prospect of
punishment imperative as a deterrent
agency at the time of the commission of
the crime
