More often than Is the case life in- .urance should be viewed as a system atic and regular method of saving than as mere insurance against death. There are many men who take this view and who put practically all of their surplus earnings into insurance premiums. Payments must be made at regular intervals, are anticipated and definite plan made to meet them. Tn the matter of being able to afford the carrying of life insurance 1t Is more often true than not that the fel- low who says he Is too poor to carry insurance Is the one whose family is in need of just such protection and who would be left destitute and un- provided for in case of his death.

THOUSANDS OF LoAFERs.

Figures which have lately been pub nshed by Hugh Van Pelt, state dairy expert of Iowa, show that of the 1,5O0,- poo cows kept in the state there are nt least 500,0o0 which not only do not return their owners any profit during the year, but are handled at posi- tive loss-that is, the farmers whc milk and care for these cows or hire men to do it actually pay for the privilege of monkeying with them. Iowa's showing in this regard may be poorer than Wisconsin's or New York's, but 1t is a fair guess that in many other dairy states the percent. age of "loafers" is as large. This situa ton should be remedied, and the only cure there is lies through the use of tn Babcock test to determine butter fai content of milk and 2 careful weigh ing of milkings at in-o~vas s to deter mine the volume given in the course o ayear

Failure to use the Babcoek test in the determining of the butter fat product of each member of the dairy herd not only prevents an effective elimination of the loafer, but also prevents adjust Ing the grain ration of the individual to her actual needs-that Is, to the amount of butter fat produced. A feeding rule based on this test which Is followed by many dairymen is to give each row as many pounds of grain per day IS she produces in butter fat per week. For instance, COW giving twelve pounds of butter fat per week is given twice as much grain as the COW produc- Ing but six pounds.

Lesson and Labor.


The task to which she set herself in
the morning would have been an i'm
possible one to many women, and in
deed it was a hard one to her. The
buried boat lay in the sand some rods
distant from the nearest tree. There
was absolutely no shelter from the
fierce heat of the tropic sun. She was
not yet fully accumstomed to it, and
indeed perhaps she never, would be
able to endure it without some sort
of a head covering. She improvised
a bonnet from the leaf of low spring
ing palm tree, which, with her remain
ing handkerchief, she tied about her
head. And then with her watchful
friend by her side she descended the
beach to the boat and began to dig.
It was hard and very tedious work.
With the fat make-shift shovel in the
shape of the rough piece of board it
was almost impossible to lift the sand.
Yet she attacked the task resolutely
and persevered sturdily for a long
time until the sweat beaded her fore
head, her back ached. her hands, un-
used to manual toll of any kind. were
almost blistered. She realized at last
that she would have to give it over.
She wondered as she ceased her
labors whether the constant observa.

shovel and looked at her.

philosophy would she gladly have
parted with for such practical infOr-

of affairs out from scraps and tags Of
knowledge, unclassified. incoherent:
from vague recOllectiOns Of childhood
stories and rOmances; from carelessly
scanned collections Of voyages, books
of travel and adventure. The result
was unsatisfactory. In some particu-
lars the instructive man before her
was her master. At the things which
went to make up physical comfort and
well being in a state of absolute ma
ture he certainly surpassed her.
She was thankful when she walked
abroad that she had the shelter Of the
cave, for everything was drenched
from the terrific dOwnpOur. II it was

knew that the rains would soon come

II ratned hard during most Of the
night. The woman slept lightly and
whenever she woke she could hear
I outside of her sanctuary the roar OF
the storm. The man. as usual, slept
the long hours through as undisturbed
by the commotion as a child. II was
apparent to her that he had absolutely
no fear. Whether this was due to ig-
nOrance or temperament she could
not say. Was fear, after all. under the
conditions in which his life had been
lived. a purely artificial quality. or was
it natural and inherent? He had
avoidances, abhOrrences. antipathies,
as the skeletons in the cOppice which
she had buried. Was that avoidance
fear or was IL something else? Was
it instinct or did it arise from reeol-
lection? She rather fancied the last.
If so, it was evident that the man had
been on the island a long time. It
would have taken years for the metal
that must have been about that
wOman's person to rust away, for the
steel clasps of the dogs collar entire
ly to disappear.
Upon that faint memory that he
cherished, upon that prayer that he
prayed, she could build the foundation
of his education. She had been so sue
cessful in training him and in restrain
ing him, in influencing him and sway
ing him so far that she had abundant
confidence in her ability to do so to
the end. Il was quite evident that life
would be easily supported under the
conditions in which it must be lived
on that island. She need have nc
physical concern as to her material
well being or comfort. and here was
mental education and stimulus which
made her for the time being forget
the rest Of the world.
Indeed, she thought bitterly, as she
lay awake during the long watches of
the night. that the rest of the world
was nothing to her and that she hated
it. She. therefore. not only was be-
coming resigned to her situation. but
was rejoicing in it. She would teach
