INSURANCE
r1ne Beginnings OF This Now Common
Node of Protection.

NODE OF irOtectlOn.
The practice of insurance was known
to the ancients, being in vogue at the
beginning of the Christian era.
The insurance of ships was undoubt.
eLly part CT the business Of the HanSe-
ATTIC league. which was formed about
l140 by the p'rr towns Of Germany to
protect themselves against the pirates
Of Sweden ana Denmark.
The custom of drawing out insurance
policies originated in Florence in 1923.
although a regular chamber of insur.
ance was formed at Bruges early in the
fourteenth century. and the practice
was in general use in Italy in 1914 and
In England il 1IGO.
Fire and life insurance is of much
more recent origin. Some Of the an.
cient guilds provided compensation for
any of their members who suffered loss
from fire, but the insurance of goods
and houses rs a distinct branch Of bust
ness cannot be traced farther back
than 1907. the year after the great fire
Of London.
The first regular company, b Hand
INLAND, was founded in 1866, and five
other companies still existing were
started in the quarter Of a century
which followed. Life insurance was
drst undertaken by the Amicable in
17O6.-LondOn Standard.

Needless Wear.

Many people wear themselves out
needlessly. Their conscience is a ty-

thing, cverpunctual. never Idle a sec

they have no time to rest, they have so

The Cow n source of Health and
nj to X

At q recent meeting of & city organ
delivered an address on tuberculosis, by
which the impression was left that
milk is a dangerous food. though he
declared that germs of tuberculosis are
everywhere and that probably every
man in the audience had them in his
body, perhaps in sufficient quantity to
form. And here is the danger that lies
In the discussion Of this question from
one side only. The public gets wrong
impressions because it has not complete
Information. Bovine and human tuber
culosis may be Identical, and an occa.
sional COW may put some germs of tn
berculosis in milk, but there is far less
danger from milk than from air, not
only because there are fewer such
germs in milk than in air, but because
In milk they do not directly reach the
part Of the human body most liable to
Infection. as they do in air. Besides,
city milk is very largely sterilized and
90 made safer than air. But supposing
things were even between milk and air
two parallel questions would arise: Are
we to stop breathing? Are we to stop
using milk? We may state as q gen
eral truth that the COW is q grea,
source Of health and strength to hu.
mainly and a minor source Of trouble.
The public should be impressed With
the fact that dairy products are gener-
ally health giving and always SO Wien
properly handled.-National Stockman.

Animals That DO Not Grow Thirsty.

There are many different kinds of an
imais in the world that never in all
their lives sip SO much as a drop of
water. Among these are the llamas
of Patagonia and the gaZelles of the
far east. A parrot lived for ffty-two
years in the 0 at London without
drinking Il drop Of water. and many
naturalists believe the only moisture
imbibed by wild rabbits is derived
from green heritage laden with dew.
Many reptiles-serpents. lizards and
certain batrachians-live and thrive in
places entirely devoid of water, and
sloths are also said never to drink. An
arid district in France has produced a
race of nondrinking cows and sheep,
and from the milk of the former
Roquefort cheese Is made. There is a

Animals That WeeD,

Animals That weep.
Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, q
mule has been seen to cry from the
pains of an injured foot, and camels,
it is said, shed tears in streams. A
GOV sold by it's mistress who had
tended it from calfhood wept pitifully.
A young soAo ape used to cry from
veXation if Livingstone didn't nurse it
In his arms when it asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying. and
apes have wept ove their young one
slain by hunters. A chimpanzee train
ed to carry water jugs broke n and
fell a-crying, which proved sorrow.
though it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats.
discovering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears of grief. A giraffe
which a huntsman's rifle had injured
began to cry when approached. Sea
lions often weep over the loss of their
young. Gordon Cumming observed
tears trickling down the face Of a
dying elephant. And even an orang
outang when deprived Of it's mango
was so vexed that it took to weeping.
There Is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance. - Harpcr's

IRRIGATION NEWS,

Interesting Report From Snake Ris-
er valley, Idaho.
circular No. 50. entitled Irrigation
From Snake River, Idaho" by II. G..
Raschbacher, irrigation engineer, has
just been issued by the irrigation and
drainage Investigations Of the office of
experiment stations, United States de-
partment of agriculture, Washington.
The territory discussed lies along the
Snake river from st. Anthony, near the
eastern line Of Idaho, to where the
Salmon river enters from the south, q
distance of about 200 miles, and EN-
braces approximately that part Of the
Snake river plains which was In geo
logic times covered with lava. The re-
port deals Nth the reclamation Of
about 100000 acres of land in the
Snake river valley, which, with many
local differences, are alike more or less
heavily covered with sagebrush. 1t
contains information as to the cost Of
land and irrigation in the valley, an
estimate Of he price Of water rights
under the reclamation act project at
Minidoka and tells how lands may be
secured.
Outlay and Returns.
The land in his valley is worthless
for agricultural purposes without irri-
CATION. This report shows the cost to
the settler OF the land, the water right
and clearing and grading the land for
the growing crops. The average total
outlay under the largest of the projects
studied is $40 per acre. Should the set
tier use his own teams for clearing,
ETC., and meet the payments on his
land as they fall due the cash outlay
for the first year will be about 1925
per acre.
1t is usually the experience of set
tiers on arid lands that the first season
has to be given to the work Of prepa-
ration, and but little can be done in
the way Of crop growing. The SETTLE

thought that II he removed the nose the

Mrs. Goldman was going home yesterday
