she went over to tea drinking, but
finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that
she had lost twenty-five pounds and
no food seemed to agree with her.
She further says: "As this time

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from Now Law, Which Re
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-.
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost OF new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
tor 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over 100000 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios Of the
Equitable's total expenses to it's total
income was 1920 in 1904. 1880 in
1905, and only 14.4S% in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to $7,2S9,734
which was an increase of more than
70 over 1905.
While the Equitable made a better
showing than any other big company.

Ter such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub

Pears as Fertilizers.

Only one-third the varieties of pears
under cultivation are capable OF fertil-
izing themselves. Two-thirds do not
fertilize and will be unproductive and
improbable unless planted near other
varieties. Not more than three rows
of one variety should be grown to-
gether and another variety should be
planted alongside these three rows
1t is still better If every third row is
n different variety. The varieties
which do not fertilze themselves are
Bartlett, Anjou, Clapp's Favorite. Clair
geau, Sheldon, Mt. Vernon, Lawrence.
Howell, Louise, Bonnie. Souvenir, du
Congress, Winter Nelis, Bose, Easter
and Superfine. Self-fertilizing va
rieties are Dcyenne, Kieffer. Buffum.

In many cases cross fertilization
changes the shape of the fruit and in
fiuences the rumber of seeds. Whei
the blossoms fertilize themselves the
seeds may be imperfect. In large or
chards of one Kind alternate rows may
easily be grated to other varieties.

Compulsory Votinu,

Australia has been prolific Of politi-

tralian ballot system, or some modifi-
cation Of it, has been adopted in all, or
nearly all, English-speaking commune
Ties. The latest proposition in that in
Nentive country is compulsory vot-
ing bill. a government measure, now
uhder discussion in Victoria. The
measure is offered to arouse the cleo
toral apathy which is said to have been
increasing of late all over Australia.
Inc failure to vote is to be punished by
o hne of s.. but curious concession is
made to the lazy citizen in a provision
which permits him to send his ballot
by mail. Belgium has a compulsory
voting law, and the system has been
debated in the Canadian parliament.

Huntina the Florida Sea Cow.

One morning, just after we had
started on our daily cruise, series OF
swirls in the water near us, the Ian
guage of which was then unfamiliar,
seemed to tell of a frightened crocodile
and that the hunt was on. We fol-
lowed the Zigzagging trail of muddy
water as fast as we could Scull and
pole, getting occasional glimpses of a
fleeing something. until the full view
of it under the bow Of the skiff gave
me the chance l was seeking. AS the
harpoon struck n broad back, which
was not that of n crocodile, the crea-
ture rose above the surface, and n big
beaverlike tail deluged me with half a
barrel of water as it struck and near
ly swamped the skiff. and told me that
I had at last found the manatee which
1 had vainly hunted during many
years. For hours we chased the crea-
ture, keeping 4 light strain on the
harpoon-line, frightening him as he
came up to breath, until, exhausted,
he rose more and more frequently. and
I made score of unsuccessful casts
of lasso at this specimen of the wild
cattle Of the sea. Finally the manatee
came to the surface to breathe so near
the skiff that put my left arm around
his neck as far as it would go and
tried to slip the moose over his head
with my right. The sudden lifting of
his head threw me upon his back,
while a twist of his big tail sent me
sprawling. We We're swamped four
times while working the manatee into
shallow water, where we got over
board, fastened line around him, and
soon had him under control, although
when the captain got astride of the
creature he was promptly made to
turn back somersault. Docile as our
captive had become, he was yet eleven
feet long, of massive proportions, and
weight which was difficult to handle.
We tore the seats out of the skiff, sank
it, and succeeded in getting the crea-
ture over it. Then, having bailed out
the water, we were padding the over
laden craft out in the bay, when a
cataclysm left US swimming side by
