Women and Life Insurance

1t cannot be denied that the prime,
motive of the man who insures his
lite either for large or small amount
Is the laudable wish to place the wo-
men and children depending on his
exertions beyond immediate want in
case OF his taking off, writes Walter
II. Barrett in q pertinent article on
this subject in the September Home
Journal. There are, of course, eXcep-
tions to this rule, where policies are
held for purely business reasons,
but ii is safe to say that more than
seventy five per cent. of the life in,
surance held in America is for the
sole benefit Of women. One might
therefore, he psrdoned for surprising
that as the gentler sex Is such an
important factor in the insurance
business, the companies, always an
xious for new policies where men are.
concerned, would at least look with 8
kindly eye on an application from a
woman. Such, however, is not the
case; and ungsllsnt as it may be to
say so, truth compels the admission
that a mean suspicion enters the
mind of man the moment a woman
asks for a policy, which only long
years of subsequent life will suffice to.
remove.
The unpopularity of women as in
surance risks is so well-defined that
some companies will not accept them.

on the lives of men. Certain compan-

with men and accept them at the
same rate, but such is not the prac-

troduced. The ground chosen was
ciinkled tapestry of rather a dull
metallic green, and the design was a
bold spray of large leaves and flowers
extending far down the curtain.
Some of the leaves were embroidered
solidly and some were of green plush
applied and worked in long and short
stitch in silks either of lighter or q
darker shade than the plush, in order
to gain variety OF effect. The flowers
had rsdiatiDg lines extending from
them rendered in green silk and gold
thread worked side by eide. The
whole design was also outlined in the
gold thread. The curtain was inter-
lined with Canton flannel to give it
substance. Another portiere was
ecru-colored silk, with lattice work
across it and up the sides, applied
in green plush design of Ivy
being twisted about it and embrolo-
cred III silks. A border of convention
al tulips extended across the lower
part. Some curtains were made of a
plain, heavy material and turned
over at the top, the design being
worked on the frieze formed in this
way. One in gobelin cloth had large
roses for the subject A hanging
which was harmony OF yeIlows and
browns had msrshmallows powdered
all over the ground, and yet another,
effective in dull, quaint coloring, had
band of Venetian embroidery placed
about one third up the curtain.

The Little Life.

o lost delight! How chill and gray
The breath and bloom Of summer
day.
In robins song there turks q moan,
The breeze takes on q sObbiug tone,
Since baby died.
o vanished joy! The hours thrice
blessed
When closely to nv bosom pressed
The fisxen head. And now the smart
Or hghtened arms, and weighted
heart,
Since baby died.
o mother love! To dream, to wait,
To hope, TO bear, to bless my fate,
Then death. OF what avail to rave?
There still remains the little grave,
Since baby died.
y pure, sweet life! Thy fragrance
rare
Still fingers in the silent air.
Like vOiceless prayer 1t lulls my pain,
And frozen grief drops down in rain,
Since baby died.

The Failure to Marry.

The failure of young men to marry
has compelled hundreds OF thousands
OF young women to earn an indepen.
dent living, writes John Lambert
Payne in the Septem DER Ladies'
Home Journal, All honor to the girls
who work; but the Divine plan was
that men should be bread earners
and that women should be the center
OF homes. Whenever such q tunda.
mental law of society as this is vio-
lated retribution is inevitable. There
are today upward of 2,O00,00O women
living by professional and personal
services, such as the practice of law
and medicine, the teaching of music
and art work, clerical service
of one sort or another in gov.
erpment and other offices, quite
apart from the army OF young women
who serve in stores and toll at me-
obanical labor. No one who can look
back over q generation of time has
failed to observe the extent to which
women have become independent
bread earners within comparatively
recent years, and particularly in those
avenues which education and refined
habits OF life have opened up. 1t is,
in fact, q grave social problem where
this thing will end.
1t would seem that this, among
other causes, is accomplishing the
purpose which Nautilus aimed to
teach; TOR the inexorabIe conclusions
of the statistician show that the
American and Canadian family is
steadily growing smaller. If the av-
ersge number per family had been as
great in 1890 as in 1860, there would
have been 5000, 900 people in the Uni.
ted States and 430, 900 in Canada above
what the recent censuses revealed.
This is fact of far.reaching import
ance, and applies its force in other
directions than the subject of this
article.
Is there remedy? Certainly
there is none which can be
easily and readily applied. Two
hundred years ago, guided largely by
the Jesuits, the Jealous King Louis of
France. made stern laws for the gov
eminent OF this young colony in re.
spect to marriage. He decreed that
every father having q son eighteen
years of age, or a daughter of fifteen,
should be held accountable to the
state II they were not married.

Evening and House Gowns.

A favorite Inclination for evening
or house gowns is q very light rose
color and black, writes Mrs. Mallon
In THE Small Belongings of Dress"
in the September Ladies' Home,
Journal. One of the prettiest tea
gowns has q full empire front of black
mousseline de sole. and u full empire
front of pale crepe confined by
broad black velvet sash, the ends of
which reach almost to the edge of the
skirt. There are two sets of sleeves,
the inner one being of the pink, and
fitting the arm quite closely. while
the outer one Is of the black, and is
cut in the regulation angel shape.
The neck Is cut out in the round
English fashion, and fall of MechIin
lace is it's finish. OF course, such
gown could be developed in plain
cashmere, and would look quite as
well as In the more expensive mater
ial. provided that the com bination of
pink and black, or that other fashion
able one of pale green and white, was
used.

Women In journalism.

Why should not women succeed in
newspaper work? writes Foster
Coates in the September Ladies Home
Journal.
Frankly, I cannot think of any
valid reason. To be sure, various, ex-
clses are characterization of our
pose; inability to concentrate effort;
weak physique; lack of experience;
insufficient knowledge of the world
and its affairs, and SO on, through q
long and tiressme list of excuses, all
frivolous. none of them worthy to be
called an objection, or even seriously
considered. Such excuses are usual
ly made by men who are judging wo-
men by past standard, men who
forget that in this golden hour of
triumph for women she has been
educated to do any and all kinds of
work where brains and ability are
required-an hour when woman con-
sidsrs her physical condition to be as,
lmpor tant as that she shall be we'll
gowned, when lack of purpose has
been pushed aside forever, and plod-
ding perseverance has brought It's
own reward. Excuses such as these
may be made by men who have stu.
diously avoided giving woman an op.
portunity In profession that is emil
nently fitted Tor her, and with some
people they may be allowed to settle
the question; but it is only the few,
and even they must soon give way,
to the new order of things.

Seventy persons, including the twelve

In September. 1890, Charles Miller, then

on the Union Pacific railroad, forty miles
east Of Cheyenne. Emerson and Fish
baugh were respectable young men of St.
Joseph, Mo-, who had set out to reach
Denver by free ride. The evidence
clearly showed that both youths were
murdered in cold blood for the money
which they had in their possession. Miller
was in their company and disappeared
after the murder. He was located in a
small town in Kansas and arrested. He
was taken to the scene of the murder and
finally confessed his crime. He has twice
escaped from Jail. He has maintained an
air of absolute indifference as to his fate
and expects to die gamely.

Trial OF kavachol and His ConfederAtes
Takes Place at Paris.
PARIS, April 26. The trial of Rava-
chol was begun in the Seine assize court
at II o'clock. There was great excite
ment and the jurynen and all connected
with the court showed signs of nervous
ness and apprehension. After tho in
dictment bad been read, charging Rava-
chol with various bomb throwing af.
fairs, he admitted his full responsible
ity for the ST. German and Cleichy out
RACES. Ravachol was tried at the same
time with Simon, Bealk, Chaumartin
and Rosalie Sounere. A large body of
police guarded Ravachol and his fellow
prisoners. The prosecutor then read
the charges against Ravachol and his
companions. During his examination
Ravachol was asked by M. dc Beaura-
paire:
"For what purpose did you keep such
large quantity Of strychnne in your
roomy"
81 held that in reserve" replied Rava-
chol smiling, "as another means OF spread
ing the propaganda when dynamite
failed"
Had you attempted to poison any per-
son i'll your attempt to spread the propa-
ganda."
"Well, no; but was ready for emergen-
cies. thought it best not to have all my
eggs in one basket"
In summing up, M. de Beaurapaire
dwelt at length upon the necessity Of
distinguishing between anarchy and
common crime. He spoke of Ravachol
as brigand of society, who tried to
hide common crimes under the cover of
a supposed political conviction. There
were five speeches for the defense,
Maitre La Case, counsel for Ravachol,
made the longest appeal, in which he
spoke eloquently of the prisoners al
legged kindness Of heart and his convic-
tion that he was enlisted in a great
cause.
The verdict was returned at 3:15
o'clock. Ravachol and Simon were
found guilty. The cases against the
others were considered improved
Ravachol and Simon were then sen.
fenced to penal servitude for life, al.
though M. de Beaurapaire moved for
capital punishment.
