INSURANCE FOR WOMEN.

They Are Obliged to Pay a Higher
Rate on Their Policies Than Men.
GFrom the Pittsburg LEADER
The question of insuring the lives of
women is exciting great deal of interest
privilege and advantage granted to men in
the present progressive age should likewise
be granted to women.
A well-known insurance agent said the
other day:
"We insure women, but we have not
made it the feature that it could be made.
We have not sought for women as we
have for men, and on account of the ply
steal risks which beset women we tax her
So additional for each 81 900 of insurance.
Thers is a prospectively large business
ahead for this line of insurance, and if
women agents would work it up it would
not be long until women would meet on an
equality with men in the insurance bust
| ness. We do not limit our women who
| insure to the bread winners, but we can
| show by our books many women of wealth.
| Neither do we limit age. We have girls
| of fifteen and we have elderly ladies. We
have three young vassar students who are
insured for $50, 900 each, and two married
women can recall insured for 500, 900
each. The additional tax on women's in
surance is retained in some cases, because
it is not generally accepted yet that WON
ans life has monetary value. And yet
the woman who is partner in her husbands
business, the widow who supports her
1 family, the daughter who keeps the wolf
| from the door. certainly has O monetary
value and ito ught to be recognized. To
remedy the evil I would recommend good
trained women agents to handle this de-
partment. II is field Of work not yet
| improved by the women toilers of the city,
and ought to pay well.
ssSingle women SO extra on every thou
sand. You see young women are great
risks. Their health is not reliable. They
are apt to marry
cor smoke cigarettes or break their heads
| playing baseball or die OF dissipation" in

vicinity.

A CAR DRIVER CARELESS
And Causes a Day Street Laborer a
Broken Ankle.

P. j. Brennan of Day street met with an
unfortunate accident yesterday forenoon
while working with other laborers on a
crosswalk at the corner of Grand avenue
and State street. They had a heavy flag
stone ON end preparatory to placing it in
position. A State street car came along
and, although signalled, the driver failed
to stop. The car struck the stone and it
fell outward, catching Brennan's ankle,
causing bad fracture. The injured man
was taken into w. E. Ford's drug store
and afterward sent in carriage to his
home on Day street. DIR. Stetson dressed

Plan Of famous Nations"

The plan of this series is to pre-
sent, in graphic narratives, the sto-
ries Of the different nations that have
attained prominence in history. The
undertaking is based upon the idea
| that the careers of nations should be
treated as if they were the records of
the lives of the individuals, and that,
without sacrificing any thing of his
torical accuracy, writers who are
masters of their several subjects can
present the narratives Of the birth,
the varied fortunes, the decline, and
the final obstruction of the great
national figures which have passed
across the stage Of history in such
a manner as to make clear the essen
TALLY dramatic character of the
great story humankind. We borrow
Shakespeare thought Of "the worlds
being stage,'' only extending the
smile so that in the drama here
presented the actors are nations in
stead of Individual men. For the pur-
pose fprevehtfngth canvas from be
ing too crowded, the writer's have, in
their several narratives, excluded
certain details of minor Importance,
the main purpose being to set forth
clearly the nature and the relations
to each, other of the most noteworthy
eVents-the events which stand 3as
mile-stones along5the path of history.
Tt Is, however, also the plan Of the
writer's of the different Volumes to
set forth the real national charac=
tiers, by entering into the daily life
of the people, and by bringing them
before the reader as they actually
lived, labored, and struggled, as they
studied and wrote, and as they anus
ed themselves. In considering the
records Of earlier date, the myths,
with which the history of all lands
begins, have of course not been over
looked, due care however being taken
to distinguish these from verified
history, SO far as the labors Of the
accepted authorities have resulted in
| definite conclusions. # .. - $s
The writers who have been engage
ed in the preparation: of these vol
umes are too we'll known to need any
introduction. They are scholars and
Nterati, and each is specially, fitted,
from many years of study and re-
search, to tell the Story of a People,
to write the Biography of a Nation.
That the mechanical portion Of
Famous Nations should CORES
pond with its literary beauty has
been the special aim of the publish,
ers. The volumes are printed and
bound in the very best style. They
are illustrated profusely, containing
over 1900 cuts, and consist of from
700 to 1000 pages each. Each vok,
ume is composed of two parts, ana
leach part is complete history in it,
self, with a separate index, tables,
and maps. T. IN Il
