In the house a communication received
by the speaker from NJ. n. Grant, late
auditor Of Wyoming, vas referred to the
committee OF which Davis OF johnson is
the chairman.
Bond, of Laramie. was unanimously
elected speaker pro tenn for the entire
session.
Bond gave notice that be intended to
introduce a bill to create the Office OF state
inspector of coal mines.
Merrill OF Converse. gave notice that he
would introduce a bill to increase the
bounty on wild animals.
The committee on ways and means. to
whom had been referred a joint resolution
providing for a Joint committee on revenue
and taxation, reported the same back
with the recommendation that it pass.
A similar recommendation was made in
the case of house bill No. 2. being an act
to authorize certain officers to administer
oaths.

TsE Pion firemen $ ball WAS not. a
financial success. This scarcely falls
short Of a public outrage. The money
realized BY the iremen in these balls is
donated to the improvement of the com

dental expenses as the council %aprropriA.
ton fails to meet. The balls, therefore,
are a light tax upon property owners and
it is certainly not creditable to the com

milton. 1t reflects no credit on Chey-

As q rule the majority of flowers and

but one school at least has adopted Il plan by
which the decoration, the expense and the
work are distributed The large church con
tains perhaps II dozen windows, and to each
of the several classes is assigned the task OF
decorating one window as the members see
fit. If they choose they can gather enough
flowers to make one window into II thing of
beauty. Daisies form good background for

preferred, the green may form the back

one class will arrange a window whose slant

are drape,l above, and in the center is hung IL
star Of flowers. Another window will lie
festooned with daisy chains and have several
baskets Of flowers hung over the masses of
roses, edged with smilaX, which form II
covering for the sill. OF course sucll n plan
involves the sacrifice of Saturday afternoon
by many boy and girl, but the burden tf
work thus falls more evenly, and childroa

LIFE INSURANCE FOR WOMEN.


circumstances Which Have Led to Giving
1t More Attention.
1t is regarded as sign of the times in
England and of the progress toward the
equalization OF the sexes that the life assur-
ance offices are paying more attention to the
insurance OF female lives, and that this
branch OF their business is increasing. The
married women's property act, which secures
them IN tho enjoyment of their own prop
erty, and under which they can dispose Of
the sums payable at death as they please, has
done good deal to develop the insurance of
female lives, and the increase in the number
OF women who earn their own living, and
have gone i'll for an independent career with
out regard to mntrimony, has also helped the
movement.
The litter class specially favor endowment
policies payable either at death or certain
age. Women who have undertaken the la-
borious profession Of nursing, for instance,
look forward to n time when they will be set
aside, and when n few hundred pounds nav
be very acceptable, and so they arrange for
the payment to fall due at fifty or Hfty.fye
years OF age. Actuarics of the old school do
NOT relish these new tangled notions, as they
regard them, being Il clear departure from
the principle OF insurance against death; but
insurance against life in the years of decay is
in actual experience quite as great a necessi-
ty. Endowment policies are q need of the
age, and life offices do well to supply it, Ger
ta'lly women who are their own bread win
ne1s appreciate the SYSTEM
II the extension Of insurance among ladies
indicates progress toward equality, the differ.
ence III TIC premiums charged proves the con.
tnued existence of inequality. 1t is not to bs
supposed that insurance Offices are influenced

are led to do 50 by the cold calculations of
their actuaries. They hold that u wo,nan's
life is less certain in the married state than
the mans, and this conclusion is reflected in
their table of premiums. The practice Of the
Offices varies, but some charge women S. atl-
ultlonal per nnnum for every 9100 assured
until they attain 30 years Of age. No rebate
Is made for the unmarried, the assumption
being that almost every healthy girl will en-.
ter the welded state. If the number Of
women who go in for nu independent voca-
tion, however, increases materially it will
only be fair to modify the rule, as the risks
represented by the extra premium are not
then run by the insured. The fact that the
additional levy of 10 per cent. or so is not
made after 30 is an admission that the sexes
are under the same conditions when on equal
terms. Indeed, the female life is really held
to be the best, apart from the period of spe-
c:al risk VII
Taxing the annuity table Of the Scottisl,
Widows, fund as an illustration, We find that
the rate Of annuity per cent. is slightly
greater on the female life up to "a, and then
falls below the male life, the assumption
being that having passed that period the wo.
mans life is the longer, and more annual pay
ments will have TO be inade by the Office. A
few comparative figures bring this out very
clearly:
