Women Not Good Risks.

Insuring women's lives has become
New York Sun, httainsurance conf
panies disapprove of women risks, and
have discontinued largely the custom
Of insuring them in favor of their hus-
bands, fearing that men will abuse
their opportunities. A writer in the
American Woman has been investigat-
ing the subject. and has gathered some
information which may serve to put
women on their guard, and cause them
to be more suspicious of the faithful
ness and undying affection of their
lords and masters The first reason
given against women rs subjects for
life insurance is that they rarely, ii
ever, give a true statement of their
physical condition. Examinations may
find them in apparently perfect health,
when. in reality, they have some in-
durable disease. If reference is made
to their habits of life and manner of
dress they promptly assert that they
dress in the most approved and hygi-
enic plan. An officer who may be
called cynical goes so far as to state
that when women go to have their
lives insured they tell only minimum
of the truth. Companies consider 1t I'M
safe to insure property which has no
insurance value and take it for granted
that Il WOmans income is not large
enough to justify any large amount of
insurance.
1t seems that the moral risk of in
suripg women is far greater than the
physical; not that the woman herself
is morally a risk, but that the .avarl-
cious tendencies Of her husband make
it a hazardous experiment Permit
ting husband to put a moleyed Varle
on his wife is fraught with danger
which has not been anticipated by low
ing, uns,1specting wives with their nus
bands welfare at heart. One large in
surance company discovered Il great
increase in the mortality of It's female
risks, and upon investigation came to
the conclusion that men are not to De
trusted. While no cases OF real muir
der have been found against these men,
physicians were in many cases con-
WINGED that with good care many
woman might have lived out her al
lotted time.
One method among husbands after
wife insures her life is to treat nef
with neglect, and when she becomes
III attend to it that she has no nedical
advice until it is too late. This writer
add that ''men have been known 10
marry women, have their lives insured,
give them cause for divorce and sci!
them to other men for the insurance.

A. New Wind Motor.

The utilization Of the wind for gen.
Grating electricity has engaged the. at
tertion of many electrical experts. Mr..
Charles L. Brush has in this country
erected windmill which was capable
Of keeping charged cells sufficient to
afford a constant supply to about 400
lamps, and Prof. Blyth, in Scotland,
has constructed q horizontal form Of
windmill, which gave excellent results,
and formed the subject of paper to
the British association held at Edin-
burgh in 1892. According to Prof.
Blyth. the desiderata in a windmill for
electric lighting purposes are: 1. 1t
must be always ready to 20. 2. 1t
must go without attendance for length
ened periods. B. 1t must go through
the widest gale, and be able to take
advantage of it. The new Rollason
motor seems to fulfill all these require
ments. The motor is a horizontal ar
rangement contained in a skeleton tur-
let about thirty feet high. Such struc-
ture can be readily set up and taken
down. A vertical steel shaft running
fro III the top to the bottom of the struc-
ture carries five concave sails, which re-
volve on rollers immersed in oil. A
number of inclined ridges or planes are
fixed on the sails, so us to defect the
force of the wind. Outsid.. the sails is
a framework or shield, suitably support
&C, which is free to rotate independent
ly OF the sails. On the top Of the shield
is vertical shaft which carries !, heavy
vanc, so that a change Of wind has
the effect Of moving the shield into
position for protecting the convex side
OF the sails. This screen completely
shelters two sails at one time and the
wind is allowed to exert its force on
the remaining three The power de-
veloped by the motor is transmitted
by the vertical shaft running down the
center Of the supporting frame into Il
wooden shed on the ground. Suitable
gearing is provided ON the lower end
of the shaft for working pulleys actu-
ating dynamo, which is used to
charge accumulators.' The claim made
for the Rollason motor IS that it is
simple, efficient in working, and that
it can be left for a long period without
any attention. 1t appears to be well
thought of In England, but no definite
figures as to it's operation have yet
been received in this country.
Improved Freezing Method of Shaft
Sinking.
NJ Colbert has devised an improved
method of sinking shafts through wa
ter-bearing strata. In the original in
vention Of NJ. Poetsch, by which much
of the difficulty of working in wet
measures" was overcome, the soft
material to be excavated was frozen

Hints for the Household.


Always cut onions, turnips and car
rots across the fiber.
Salt rubbed on the black spots on
dishes Will remove them.
Use a short handled paint brush to
wash the outside of window stills.
If Il shirt bosom or any other article
has been scorched in ironing lay il
where the bright sunshine will fall d.
sectly on it.
To clean the tea or coffee pot fill it
with water and put in a piece of hard
soap. Set it on the stove and let it
boil an hour. 1t will be as bright as
new.
The music chip" London inven-
ton, is an ingenious but simple little
contrivance to keep the leaves of music
apart, so that the finger may be readily
inserted.
To take the brown discolorations off
Of cups in which custards are baked rub
with damp flannel dipped in whiting.
Sc )uling sand or sand soap will answer
the purpose.
TO make clothes wash easy: Mix one
tablespoonful of kerosene Oil with one
pint Of soft soap, and soap all the
white clothes: put them to soak over
night, and you will have very little
rubbing to do.
Ice cream forks never seemed very
sensible, but just as fastidions house
wives have procured them, an improve
ment is shown in the silver shops in
the way of a spoon which terminates
in cloven point.
10 take out mildew: Mix soft soap
with powdered starch, half as much
salt. and the juice Of one lemon; lay
it on the part, Oh both sides, with q
brush: let it lay on the grass day and
night till the Stain comes out.
Some of the new contrivances for
cooking eggs are convenient. First
there arc the pretty little bakers into
which one or two eggs can be dropped,
baked and served Then there are the
individual boilers, in which the eggs
can be closed up tight and cooked,
ready to be eaten.
For black kid gloves that look shabby
and white where the coloring has worn
off rub them with little liquid shoe

after it is dry, and may be renewed as
often as you like. If perfectly new
black gloves pull at the seams, touch
the spots with a tiny bit Of black paint

English Bakers.

American bakers have abundant rea-
SOL to commiserat,e their fellow labor
crs in England, and especially in Lon
don. according to the report of DR.. +.
j. Waldo, q London medical officer of
the health department. The English
baker is thin and pale, his shoulders are
rounded, and his whole look suggestive
Of i'll health. Tables Of comparative
mcttality Of males between 25 and Go
Yeas of age, founded on three years
death registers, show that in 100 diff
fcrelt occiipai lions bakers occupy the
following relative position: In suicide
they come third, in alcoholism seventh
in liver disease eleventh, and twelfth
in diseases Of the nervous system.
Many of these diseases may be traced
to the abuse of alcohol, an evil habit
which is doubtless fostered by the
fatigue consequent upon the overwork,
the long hours, the want of sleep, and
the poisonous atmosphere to which the
journcyman baker is exposed. Among
the diseases to which bakers are spe-
cially liable are mentioned rheumatism,
colds, erysipelas, and Il form of ecZe-
ma, due to the irritation of the flour,
known as bakers itch!' Seyenty-two

stint. DR.. Waldo's description of a
visit to an average bakery is suggestive.
H1e says that on entering, the visitor
finds himself in a hot and sitting at
mospherc. The air is vitiated from
many sources; for instance, there is
the active combination of the faling
gas. jets, while the furnace fills the
place with sulphrlrous fumes, more es-
pecially when the journeyman econo-
mics fuel by closing the damper. The
air is further charged with moisture
and with other products derived di-
rectly from the baking of the bread,
and sewer gas may enter through the
drain-opening in the floor, the more
SO as the grating traps are often worth
less. Dr.. Waldo holds that if baking
be carried on in well ventilated places,
with perfect sanitary environment,
there is no reason why it should be
a particularly dangerous or unhealthy
trade, but he evidently has good cause
for his comment ON the English in
dustry that there is much in the pres
ent condition of the retail bakehouses
which calls for stringent legislative in
reference"

would naturally be to drop at once to
