Water. ~ Food.

In vlc@ Of the high cost OF living
and the old saying that water is free,
it is interesting to note what learned
men say in connection with water as
food,

1866 ponds, according to Prof. L. ].

Insnrinr Arainst Rain.

If it were not that any sporting
proposition appeals strongly to the
average E1glishman. the scope and
extent OF the insurance business
done ny the L1oyds underwriters
would ibe rapidly dismissed. AS 1T
Is, everything that smaeks OF nov
city in the insurance line is sure to
arouse some interest in England, at
least until the next novelty is pre-
scented.
one3of the latest forms OF insur.
ance that has stirred IEnghsmen out
OF their proverbIal conservatism Is
known as insurance against rain. It
is an ingenious sort of betting upon
the weather and ones own luck, a
combination that would seem tolibe
Irresistible.
The man who plans holiday or a.
vacation, has only to pay to Lloyds
the sum OF $S.75 week to be as
sured OF some pecuntary compensa-
ton in case rain tnterferes with his
plans. 1t it rains to the extent OF
ewo-tenths Of an inch on two days OF
that week, the sum of $50 is paid to
the insured.
To the man who is wont to declare
that he never plans to do anything
out OF doors but what 1t rains, this
form OF insurance should prove a
great boon. To a man who IS fated
to pick out for his vacation period
when nature seems striving to do
her very worst, some consolation
will be vouchsafed. The gloom Of
a summer resort during a rainy
spell would he Enlightened by tho
thought OF $50 coming In, instead Of
the savings OF a twetve1months go
ing out with no appreciate return.
After all is it not as an exchange
says particularly strange that Eng
lishmen should take kindly to the
idea OF insurance against rain. Eng.
hshmen carry the idea or insurance
farther than we do. Large amounts
of insurance payable to private indt-
viduals are carried on the life OF the
English king. Individual English
men have been known to insure
themselves against all sorts of con-
tingencles, from shipwreck TO twins.
And so, living in a very wet coun-
try, 1t Is not particularly strange
that they should think rain insur-
ance a good thing.

Chiffon But One Term.

William Il. Chiffon, who became a
United states senator the fourth OF
the present month for term OF six
years, is quoted as saying that he
does not desire to succeed himself
In the United States Senate.
Various deductions can be drawn
from this. When one considers the
fact that experience is OF much value
in serving the public, he must ma
turally conclude that Mr.. Chiffon
does not look at it that way. He
must know that there is but little
he can accomplish during the term
the legislature saw at 10 give him.
Another deduction is that Mr..
Chilton's real motive in going to the
United States Senate was to get dis
tinction and honor-not altogether
bad, If at the Same time there is an
honest, earnest desire to he faith
full, useful servant of the people.

Washington, May 10.--After dispos-

amend the constitution so as to pro
vide for the election of United States
senators by popular vote, The effect
is to make the resolution the. unfin-

The order was made on roll-call,
but II senators who voted only Sen
ators Brandegee of CT, Burnham of
N. H., Gallinger of N. H. Hepburn Of
Idaho and Penrose of Pa, voted in
the negative. Mr. Hepburn opposed
Mr. Borah's motion for unanimous
consent to take up the measure on
the ground that under the Senate
rules the request was out of order
during the first two hours of the sit
ting which is set apart for morning
business" The Senate had met at 2
O'Clock and it became necessary at
2:45 p. m, TO recess until 4 o'clock
When the Senate reconvened Mr..

almost unanimous for the motion.
Senator Borah announced that he had
no intention of so pressing the reso-
luton as to Inconvenience senators

What Went We Out for to See ,

The next time there is shooting
done in any rube town in Vermont,
which is of sufficient interest to cause
New York and Boston newspaper men
to go up to report the trial for killing
it will be wise to take goodsized
tent or portable house, according to
the reports from Guildhall, where the
trial of Mrs, Dodge for murder is now
going on The town is simply over
run with strangers and the Boston
newspaper men, who anticipated a
good time, thinking they would all
be living at the same hotel or board
ing house, are surprised scribes. Some
are staying in Vermont, and some
over the line in New Hampshire. Two
men who went up expecting to live
together took rooms finally four miles
apart and considered themselves
mighty lucky to get them. While all
New England is following this great
murder case on paper apparently the
best part of New Vermont wants to
attend it in the flesh, and a lodging
place in Guildhall is valuable thing
to have.-Boston Record.

Convert nothing. The true cure is
to breed better Not this case partic-

tired rural communities which have
startled Vermont so frequently late
years are the natural result of the
weakening of the human stock OF

The editor of The Banner is in re-
ceipt of letter from Howard l.. Hind
ley, formerly editor of the Rutland
Herald, and now of the Spokesman
Review of Spokane. Wash. Mr. Hind
ley is pleasantly located at Spokane
and has recently returned from Olym-
pia where he covered the session of
the Washington legislature. He had
a good chance to compare the Wash
ington Legislature with that of Vermont
as two years ago he covered the Yer
mont session for the Rutland Herald
He finds the smaller House OF Repres-
entatives in Washington where the
House contains less than one hundred
members is able to transact more
business in a given time than a House
of GAG members such as we have in
Vermont, which is so large as TO be
unwieldly, especially because most of
it's members are new and unfamiliar
with the work Another suggestion
which Mr. Hindley makes is that it
would probably expedite business in
the Vermont legislature to have
daily calendar prepared by the rules
committee in advance and providing
for a given amount of business each
day. There is little question but that
this change would help along the
transaction of business. The writer
during the last session at Montpelier
discussed the question with Mr.. A.
NJ. Fletcher of Cavendish, Mr. George
NJ. Wall of Dorset and other gentle
men of considerable legislative exper-
fence and it was the consensus of
opinion that il the business OF the
Vermont legislature continues to
increase as of late something of the
kind will be necessary. The change
would put largely increased power in
to the hands of the committee on
rules and would do away with some
of that old New. England town meet
ing freedom of procedure that has in
the past always been Characteristic
of the Vermont legislature. Washing
ton has a constitutional limit on the
length of It's session which is fixed
at sixty days This limit is found
to work very well though it is evident
that il Vermont was to have such a
limit it would have to be more than
sixty days with the present size OF
the Vermont House and the tendency
of the towns to send new men each
time The Vermont legislature could
be tremendously benefited by re-elect
ing men who do we'll This is espec
tally true of the smaller towns and

larger towns have a more numerous
