Of Life Insurance prepared forms OF
examination and application for general
use by the companies, it was urged as a
grave objection to the new forms that
they included declaration by the in
sured that the truthfulness of the
answers was material" The oppo-
nents of the forms regarded that feature
as likely to inflict great hardship on the
insured or the survivors. 1t was argued
that a person applying for policy
might very easily make mistake
through inadvertence or ignorance, IN
answering SO many questions, and that
it was not just for company to be
enabled to take such. advantage of a
mistake as to relieve itself from obliga-
ton. By putting his name to a state
ment that warrants each answer and
declares it material, it was alleged that
the insurer signed away legal right
which properly belonged to him and his
survivors.
The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court points to contrary con-
clusion. 1t regards the untruthful an
swers of an applicant as simply making
the policy void. The questions were
whether he had previously applied
for insurance As matter of fact
the applicant was married, and he
had another policy. The instrument of
insurance-th policy in suit-stated that
it was made on the express condition
that all the representations of the appli-
cant were true. Hence the court de-
cides that the answers being untrue it
made no difference whether they were
material to the risk or were unintention-
ally false; their untruth dissolved the
obligation of the company.
The hardship in this class of cases is,
therefore, not increased as the precise
declaration of the new form recommend.
ed by the chamber. That hardship,
whatever it may be, existed before the
form was devised. 1t is the hardship
inherent in the nature and law of written
contracts, which bind the parties to them
fast to the letter of their provisions.
The phrases of the declaration in the
new form are, in fact, likely to attract
the attention of the applicant and make
him notice more closely than he other
wise would this peculiar feature of the
contract. So that, after all, the declara-
ton may prove less hardship than its
absence.-N. Y. Tribune.

LITTLE JACK FROST.

LITTLE Jack Frost went up the hill,
Watching the stars so cold and chill,
Watching the stars and moon so bright,
And laughing aloud like a crazy wight.
Little Jack Frost ran down the hill,
Late in the night when the winds were still,
Late in the fall, when the leaves fell down,
Red and yellow and faded brown.
Little Jack Frost walked through the trees,
"Ah," sighed the flowers, eve freeze, We
freeze !"
"Ah," sighed the grasses, 1--WE die, we dien
Said little Jack Frost, "Good-by, goodbye
Little Jack Frost tripped round and round,
Spreading white snow on the frozen ground
Nipping the breezes, icing the streams,
And chilling the warmth of the suns bright
beams.
Nobody saw him, still he was there,
Nose-biting, prank-laying, everywhere;
All through the houses, out in the street,
Capering wildly through storm and sleet.
But when Dame Nature brought back the
spring,
Brought back the birds to chirp and sing.
Melted the snow and warmed the sky,
Little Jack Frost went pouting by.
The flowers opened their eyes of blue,
Green buds peeped out and grasses grew,
And it got so warm and scorched him so,
Little Jack Frost was glad to go.

A VERY PATHETIC SToRY.-That was
very pathetic story Of little cold and
ragged boy on an East River ferry-boat
the other day. He was in the cabin beg
ging, contrary to rule, and a deck hand
was lifting him out by the ear. But a
richly dressed and noble-hearted lady in
tcrfered and reproved the man. He re-
leased the boy reluctantly, protesting that
he had odcrs to keep such out of the cabin
Then with heart aglow with generous
feeling, the stately lady gave the little
wanderer dollar and said she felt sure
that every one in the cabin would be glad
to re5ake the brutality which they had all
witnessed, in the same way. So the boy
passed round his ragged cap and got it
well filed with the offering of generous
natures. And the observant reporter
followed the poor boy and the rich lady
ashore, and as they turned the first corner
he heard the lady say; "Well, Dickey, W
done pretty good that trip; now let's try
the other line"

A Chicago lawyer ''tacklcs" Brown, the
mind reader, and undertakes to show that
his performances are not mind reading at
all, but merely being led and directed
involuntGrily to the object sought by the
person whose mind he is supposed to
read. He explains it OH the theory that
the CONSCIOUSNESS Of the person produces
involuntary muscular action of the hand
sufficient to guide sensitive person
holding that hand to any object upon
which the thoughts are fixed. The thick,
he says, is one that anybody can learn,
and gives the following directions for
developing a mind reader in every
family:
/. Place the left hand of the subject in
your left hand, with the ends of his fin
gers against your thumb 2. Hold the
SUBJECTS elbow from his body, so that
the whole arm will work freely. This is
partly accomplished by raising the back
OF his hand to your forehead, bit this is
not essential nor is 1t essential to place
your right hand on his forehead, but this
is done for effect. 3. Let the subject now
fix and keep his mind on the object
sought. 1t might aid you to be blind
folded. as this will keep your mind from
being diverted by objects Of sight in the
room. First seek out the part of the
room, for you can be sure that If you 90
in the wrong direction you will be drawn
back, when you are finally trying to To-
cate the object you will pass and repass
until it is plainly indicated.
