REASON.

We believe now. when Bismarck's
letter is coolly and logically read, that
Congress will feel guilty Of having been
impairment. There is undoubtedly a
haste in this country to resolute and
speechify. 1t is one Of the great Amer
lean privileges and is harmless among
ourselves, but we should be careful to
confine this diversion within the circle
of Uncle Sans own family. While the
Herr Lasker resolution of coincidence
has been published all over Germany,
and has been well received in the spirit
in which it was conceived, and while
the German people appreciate the eulogy
passed upon one Of their citizens. still the
communication must be read between
lines when addressed to the German Gov
erment. 1t was the politics contained in
the resolution that offended Bismarck.

HEALTH HINTS.

The best way to deal with q cold is TO
avoid it.
Never prick a blister with a pin. 1t
rusts the pin.
Vinegar and red pepper will make a well
throat sore and o sore throat well.
The tendency to sleep too soundly can
be overcome by having hot soda biscuits
for supper.
A little arsenic carefully used will in
time clear a neighborhood of rats, mice
and amateur flute players.
Never wash in warm water before going
out in the cold air. 1t takes all the dirt
off and leaves the skin exposed to the cold.
Nothing is more dangerous than to walk
about with bare feet in the morning. II
there are fires to be started let your wife
attend to them.
Coarse brown paper soaked in vinegar
and placed on the forehead is good for a
sick headache. See that there is a supply
of brown paper and vinegar in the house
before going to the lodge on initiation
night,

and logically so. Suppose a citizen OF the
United States should die in Germany and
our Congress should receive from the
Reichstag a resolution Of coincidence in
which should be emphasized and eulogized
the monarchical ideas of our countrymen.
Congress would think seriously before it
could consider such a resolution as accept
able or at all in good taste.

The Life Insurance Contract.


Philadelphia Times.
A recent decision Of the Supreme Court
of the United States il a life insurance
case appealed from this circuit has a
good deal of interest both for insurance
companies and for the public. IN this
case the insured was asked the usual
questions about himself and his ancestry
and among other things whether he had
ever had asthma. scrOfula or cOnsump-
ton, to which he answered in the mega
tive. 1t turned out afterwards that he
had incipient consumption, although he
did not know it and the medical inspec-
tor of the company did not discover it.
When the man died the company refused
payment on the ground that this false
answer had invalidated the policy
Strange to say, the Circuit Court upheld
the narrow plea, but the Supreme court
has now righteously reversed this iudg-
ment. holding that the plaintiff was not
precIuded from recovery unless it could
be shown that he had knowingly and
wilfulIy made false answers.
Further than this the court was not
called upon to go, and less far it could
not have gone with justice. But such a
/ plea as this ought never to have been
raised and the insurance companies that
still contest the payment of their losses
upon such narrow ground as this deserve
the loss OF business that must be the in
/ evltable result. 1t is sufficiently absurd
/ under any circumstances to hold a man
responsible for not knowing that he had
in him the seeds of some fatal disease
but an insurance company does not de
pend upon the knowledge of the apph-
cant. 1t makes its own examination. by
its authorized medical officer. and after
it has accepted the risk the company /.
clearly debarred from resisting its con
tract on the ground of something which
its own officer had failed to detect.
rhe one principle for which this paper
has always contended and which tn,
most respected companies are gradually
coming to accept is that life insurance il
a definite contract. whose terms ar,
agreed upon when the policy is writer
and which thereafter is not to be dis
