THE people of Montana seem to have
precipitated an unexpected discussion
as to feminine perfection. DR.. Sargent,
Of the Harvard gymnasium, has meas

were perfect Is to health. strength and
general development, but his results
were not such that he is willing to af-
firm hat there is such a thing rs q

his standard the average of each of the
measurements made for the whole ten
thousand and hen compared the lines
Of each with that. Each was found to
vary In some ways; some more than
others, but all In a marked degree. It
was a Pennsylvania young woman who

offercd for coming the nearest 70 phys

Insurance ON Farm Property
From the ST. Johnsbury caledonian1


The New England Insurance exchange,
whchrepresents all the stock companies do
ing business in Vermont, has voted to raise
the rates on farm property in this state to
one per cent for one year, one and one-half
per cent for two years and two per cent for
three years, and no policies to be written
for longer time than three years. Pre-
vous to April |, 1892, the rates on farm
property had been one per cent for five
years. At that time it was raised to one
per cent for three years. Now the rates
have been practically doubled. For the
past Is years, previous to 1892, when the
rates were raised % per cent, the stock
companies paid ont SIP for every 500
they had received. Since they raised the
rates in 1892 it cost them STOP for every
500 received, and in 1893 so far the com
panies have Jared still worse. Several
companies have withdrawn from the state
and several others are contemplating doing
likewise.
While it will be hard for the farmers to
pay double for their insurance it can be
easily seen that the companies are perfectly
justified in doubling the rates. No one
expects any corporation to continue to dc
business at loss.
