Thanks to new act of the Massa-
chusetts legislature, which goes into
effect on the first of November next, an
interesting experiment in life insurance
Is promised to the people Of the Bay
State and New England generally. The
law in question provides for the sale
Of small life insurance policies and an
nuities by the savings institutions of
Massachusetts. The new feature Is en-
tirely voluntary or optional, but when
the legislature adopted the measure In
the face of very strong opposition 1t
knew that a number Of savings banks
were willing to go experimentally into
the Insurance business indeed,
for profit or with the notion Of serious
ly competing with the insurance COM
panies, but in a benevolent and altruis-
tic spirit. The law was the outgrowth
of the insurance scandals and revela-
tlons Those who framed and pushed
it believed that the savings banks Of
Massachusetts, which are strictly regu-
lated by statute and controlled by
state commission, are particularly fitted
to provide the poorer elements Of the
population with opportunities Of getting
life insurance at bare cost and under
conditions which guarantee honest, con-
servative and intelligent management.
The banks do not expect, and are not
expected, to solicit insurance, to employ
agents or even carry on active CORE
| spondence In order to obtain business.
Blank forms of policies will, however,
| be widely distributed and the would-be
beneficiaries Of the system will have
to take the trouble of applying for and
getting the policies and Of regularly
paying their premiums. Whether many
people, even in thrifty and enlightened
Massachusetts, realize the need of life
insurance sufficiently to incur such
trouble Is one of the many questions
upon which the experiment Is to give
us light The governor Of Massachu-
setts has Just taken the first step under
the act. He has appointed seven state
trustees, whose duty it will be to select
n state insurance actuary and medical
director and to make all other prepara
tions for the assumption by the savings
banks of the new function. The trus
tees serve without pay and are connect
ed with the banks that are in sympathy
with the experiment. There Is mucf
preliminary work to be done, lnclud
ing the preparation Of actuarial tables
on the basis of cost, minus however
all agency expenses.

virtuous sadness, 'yas, sub, sholy glib

in the eyes Of some of his hearers, and
hearing a question from the lips of one

tails about the nature of the lesson he
had impaired.

Weeds of Value,

New Zealand fax Is one Of a number
of wild weeds that yield their gath
erers great wealth, says the Scientific
American. This fax, the strongest
known, grows wild in marshes. When
it is cultivated 1t dwlndles and its fibers
become brittle and valueless.
Indian hemp grows wild, and out Of
1t hasheesh, or keef, is made. Keef
looks like flakes of chopped straw. 1t
Is smoked in pipe; it is eaten on
liver; it is drunk in water. 1t pro-
duces an intense, delirious happiness ;
and among Orientals 1t Is almost as
highly priced as beer and whisky
with us.
The best nutmegs are the wild ones.
They grow throughout the Malay archi-
pelago.
But the most valuable weed of all
these wild growths is the seaweed. The
nitrate beds of South America, which
yield something like $65,000,000 year,
are nothing but beds of seaweed decom-
posed.

In colder climates, where shelter

proportion of Sexes in Swine.


The Bureau Of Animal Industry of
the Department Of Agriculture has re-
Gently issued an interesting bulletin on
the relative proportion Of the two sexes
Of pigs at birth. This is information
not heretofore obtainable, for the rea-
son that while the herd books have
given the total number of pigs far
rowed, the number Of each sex was
given only for those raised. The re-
port included lat litters. The number
Of boar pigs was 6,680, the number of
cows 6,62G. The average per SOW was,
boars 4.51, sows 4.4S. For all prac-
tical purposes the sexes may be regard
ed as equal In number at birth, al
though the boars are seen to be slightly
more numerous than sows. Expressed
in the lowest terms Of whole figures,
the proportion stands POI boars to 200
sows. The results were gathered from
twenty-five States and Territories and
represented eight breeds, with several
litters Of grades or mixed breeds.
