EXPERIENCE THE
BEST TEACHER

There are hundreds and
thousands of men who are insured In
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co.
under single policies ranging In
amount from $1,000 to $4,000. 1t Is
more than likely that the vast major
ity Of these insured in this particular
company because Of the solicitation
of an agent or on the advice Of some
one already a policy holder, (it Is gen.
orally conceded that in no company
in business are so many new policies
issued through the influence Of those
already insured), but It is a fact also
that there are hundreds and thou
sands of members who have from two
to eight policies each in the Mutual
Benefit issued at different times, In
many instances the last being issued
as long as % to 80 years after the
first, and it Is usually the case that all
except the first are voluntarily applied
for because the assured knows by
Experience, the best teacher, that ev-
cry claim made for the company and
its contracts are true. If you are
thinking of applying for Life 1nsur-
ance You cannot afford to ignore the
Mutual Benefit.

The Rage for Risk.
From Leslie's Weekly.


With the increase of such popular amuse-
ments are afforded by .'loOp-the-lOop"
contrivances. eyoutions on parachutes, ami
NAL show exhibitions. and yet newer and
more ingenious arrangements for catering
to the rage for risk" comes the demand
from another section of the public. where
more temperate and saner ideas prevail,
that something shall be done by legislation,
If necessary, to limit these exhibitions of
human daring within the bounds of some
thing like decent regard for safety. Pos
sibly, if the only persons who engaged in
these performances and rsked their limbs
and lives. either for the mere fun of the
thing or for business purposes. were
adults, or men or women of the professional
class. no protective measures would be
necessary; but since innocent children of
tender age and .giddy youth of both sexes
are begulled into these same dangerous
sports, to be manned for life or killed out
right. it seems imperative that the law
shall step in and draw the line beyond
which these schemes for imperiling human
life shall not go. There still exists, we are
sorry to believe a considerable traction of
people. even in this enlightened land, who
are but little above the level of the Romans
of ancient days In their taste for vulgar and
brutal shows.

A Curious French Pension.

The echo of a shot fired in the middle of

the dauphin-son of Louis XV-shot and
killed a courtier. Yves de la Boissiere de
Chambers. and perpetual ension of 81 2Oo

was out ostensibly to shoot garzs. but either
the rabbits were scarce or his royal high

nounced his desire to vary the sport by
blowing off the end of courtiers mus

pay his share of the pension to the sur

the other day judgment was given in his
favor.

Schools Are Too Superficial.

FROM Leslie w eekiy.
The course of study in our high schools
includes SO many subjects that they cannot
be thoroughly taught, and SO much that
is needless is required of the pupils that
to the hours of confinement in school they
have to add hours Of study at home A
radical change is imperatvely needed. No
pupil should have so many studies that
they cannot be thoroughly mastered No
pupil should have to imperil health by hours
of study daily at home. The high school
should not aim to teach everything The
course of study is loaded up with imprac-
ticable non-essentials untitled to either de-
velop or inform the mind. Less time and
strength should be wasted on fads, theo-
ries and technical specialties that must be
so specifically taught as to be valueless
The greatest opportunity open to educators
today is to thoroughly reform the high
school curriculum. The changes needed
cannot be wrought by individual teachers
They are themselves in the grip of a sys-
tenn that has gradually grown worse in
stead of better.

Long Purse Needed for War.
rom the Boston Transcript

When We turn to cannon we can realize
the money cost of war from the fact that
the appropriation just made by Congress
for an experimental fourteen-inch gun Is
$4,000. That is. the type piece to be used
experimentally will cost that sum- A sin
gle gun today often calls for what would
have been deemed "a handsome private for
tune" in the simpler days of our land This
constantly increasing money cost of war is
one of the great influences that make for
peace. Only very rich nations can indulge
in the luxury of making war, when 1t is
necessary to load every musket with gold
as well as lead. The long-range purse
counts more than the long-range rife, and
1t is the realization of this truth more than
reflection on the horrible effect of new In
ventions that disposes military powers to
ponder or the possibility of general disar-
mament.

EXPORTS BREAK RECORD.
Washington Farmers to Get the

Tacoma, July 23.-Balfour, Guthrie &
Co. look for the coming wheat exporting
season to be the busiest in the history
of Tacoma. Although no vessels have
been chartered by this firm to load
wheat at this port, they are on watch
for available tonnage. The biggest sea
son in recent years was IN 1892 1898,
when 100 vessels sailed from Puget
Sound with grain cargoes.
l.. G. Patullo. department manager OF
Balfour, Guthrie & Co., says there is no
doubt in his mind that the tonnage OF
the coming wheat fleet will exceed that
OF any previous season. He is OF the
opinion that the season will open earlier
and that more business will be done in
the first few months than usual. The
railro ads, it is hoped, will make deter
mined efforts to move the grain with
dispatch. More grain will be ground
and big fleet OF tramp steamships will
